It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times!?

Except for that one bit that everyone gets stuck on.

You have to hold down a pressure plate. The solution is to use a metal rod on the big stone tile. You’re welcome.

Sometimes a doubt your commitment to sparkle motion

Do you have any tips for writing professional documentation? I want to do some for my workplace but it’s hard to know where to start, how to arrange it, etc

Running from Monster-Ock while the facility is exploding around you. That game was such a banger. And it’s short length is made up for by it’s replayability. Collecting all the comics and suits. Amazing.

Agreed

It might be better not to buy a ticket at all. Finding out that you didn’t board a plane gives them more information about your whereabouts than not being able to determine if you got on a plane with fake ID under a different name.

Paprika. I haven’t used anything else aside from having a folder of word documents.

Paprika allows you to copy/paste the URL of a recipe and it will download only the recipe. No more scrolling through a blog and a dozen ads looking for what you want. You can then create categories and tag recipes for any combination of categories.

It also has extra functions like meal planners, pantry inventory, and shopping list generators based on the meal plan and pantry, but I don’t use those.

It syncs between devices. The only real downside is you must purchase per platform type. If you bought the windows licence and you want it on your phone you must separately purchase the Android licence.

Downsizing was a real bait and switch

Knights and merchants

It’s a bit like Warcraft without the supernatural stuff. You have to make a functional town that has farming, stock logistics, weapons manufacture, etc. and then you also have to win against a nearby kingdom.

The mechanics are so broken. You can usually just wait it out for your enemy to run out of resources (to be fair it was the same in Starcraft) but every other level was a battle in an open field, and it was very hard to manage the actions of your army.

How does your music server work?

I must say I’ve seen in increase of conversations on Reddit that seem like everyone involved has severe lead poisoning.

Get into gate is another good one

I get what you mean, and I think a lot of laymen do have these unreasonable ideas about what LLMs are capable of, but as a counter point we have used the label AI to refer to very simple bits of code for decades eg video game characters.

Haven’t we started using AGI, or artificial general intelligence, as the term to describe the kind of AI you are referring to? That self aware intelligent software?

Now AI just means reactive coding designed to mimic certain behaviours, or even self learning algorithms.

Hasn’t VOD always been the way to refer to video content that’s not “live”. They need a term that described the opposite of “this is broadcasting at a set time that you don’t control”. How did twitch use it in a way that exclusive to them?

“it was then, when Storm mused the effects of lighting on a humble toad, that I realised there was no god…”

Finally. Did the trailer for that pop like 5 years ago?

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games 1 through 4.

A bit more than once a decade I play them on emulator and try to 100% them. Great fun. I also try to make sure to visit the locations in the real world if I’m on holiday nearby where they based a level.

It’s kind of sad that the Venice Beach area hasn’t existed since the 90s.

Edit: I did just realise this thread is about PC games, but I do play them on PC albeit through a PlayStation emulator. I do believe the games are available on PC.

If you don’t mind older games, the System Shock games are kind of like the precursor to bioshock
