Tried the demo, here is the breakdown. TLDR: No way this is ready for a September launch. There are too many bugs and functions not working. The Bad: It requires an account I entered one of my throw away emails and it didn't even send an email to it. But it lets me play the game anyway. It...

1. Holding a gun to your head doesn't mean I'm going to shoot you, so you should be comfortable with it! 2. There is no such thing as "poor choice of words" when it comes to EULAs and TOS-es. You can be damn sure that every word has been carefully weighed by an army of lawyers to maximize...

https://www.computing.co.uk/news/4268783/adobe-users-revolt-updated-terms Welcome to 1984, sorry I mean 2024. Forget you'll own nothing you pay for, you no longer even own what you create.

It's the swiss cheese model. You need multiple levels of failure to actually have a serious problem.

So they are compared to numbers that we don't actually see. I get it now.

Those can get you on a brand new patched OS as well.

What are those percentages on the graph, where do they come from? They make zero sense.

That describes perfectly why I take issue with games pass and any game subscription service. You are always on the lookout for games to make it worth it. It is a version of the sunken cost fallacy (combined with fomo if your subscription is for a specific time only). You are pressured to play...

We can inherit a bank account, I'm sure we can figure out inheriting a steam account.

I'm pretty sure it is illegal to prevent inheritance of an account. Valve just hasn't found out yet.

One game that gave me a lasting impression was Flight Unlimited in 1995. It was the first flight sim that used real aerial imagery as ground textures, technically giving the game photo realistic graphics. It was extremely impressive for 1995. Of course today even google earth has better "graphics"

1983 - ????? I've been struggling to find anything memorable released this year, so I'm throwing in the towel. No point in choosing a game just for the sake of it. I can't for the world think of a memorable 1983 game while there are half a dozen games for 1984.

Not all games are memorable, but memorable games have been around since the mid 90s.

The last was Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Considering it is far longer than some complete games I think it counts as its own thing, despite being an expansion and not a stand alone game. That said newer impressions always feel stronger, but only time will tell how lasting they are. I can...

Back in the day games often got updated versions during their run, to fix bugs (so much for the myth that games used to be bug free) so maybe the early releases were indeed 1981 and later ones were 1982.
