This movie still looks stunning!!

Also 2010, just beautiful!!

My plan was to buy it on release, but the moment I read they would release clans as DLC the game was dead to me.

I’ll check back in a year or two. Maybe then when everything is in one package.

That’s all beyond my abilities :)

My main problem was just a printer. I did find a driver for Mint, and it worked flawlessly for a few days. And suddenly it stoped printing again. I tried to configure the driver, I uninstalled and reinstalled, it just does not work anymore. Getting help is difficult online because everyone seems to think much knowledge is a given, and the hints got more and more complicated until I just had no idea what I was doing. Reading up on the commands used got more and more overwhelming and intimidating, so I, at some point, just gave up. Same with gaming, if a game runs it’s absolutely fine, but when it does not it’s tough to find easy to understand documentation how to fix it.

I won’t give up, but I reinstalled Windows 11 on my main PC again. Mint runs on my laptop that I use occasionally. Linux has come a long way, and it’s amazing how the usability improved over the years, but, at least for me, it’s not quite there yet. But until Windows 12 comes out I’m pretty sure it will improve much further, until then Win11 has to do. My first step is taken.

Thank god I’m not the only one. I was convinced it was me! i used Mint for two months, and when everything works it’s good, but the second you encounter a problem it becomes a nightmare.

1 was advertised as a spiritual successor of System Shock 2, but it only got the atmosphere right. It was just another shooter which disappointed me. 2 was the same more or less. 3 had a fascinating story, but it was still just a shooter. Maybe 4th time will become what I crave for, another immersive sim!

Like? I love it!!

Tenet. I got the story the first time, but there are so many little details in it…

And I thought about one month ago all hope was lost.

And here we are. Nothing guaranteed, but hope restored!

He’s falling out of a window soon enough.

Racism? Fuck that. The annoying wise kid and the constantly screaming woman killed that movie!

I had no idea it was a solo project, but now that you mention it, yes, it’s written big on the cover :) And yes, the lineup, the choir, the stage props, I just love it!

Pure Pink Floyd would be The Division Bell then.

The Wall Live in Berlin. The CD is awesome, the DVD, thanks to the cinematography simply breathtaking.

Seriously, you played behind your mom’s back. As did I and everyone else. Be careful, talk to her about the shitty tactics. She has to be aware of them, spot them, and know how they work to be able to avoid them. The hardest part will be for her to actually believe it. Those life service shit uses the most disgusting psychological tricks.

Or she will spent all her money behind your back someday.

We all had our tricks, and children will always be cleverer than their parents.

Gog, it has cloud saves there. Also I should have written a script to copy the save files every twenty minutes or so in the background. Would have saved me after the crash I guess…

Thanks, but that’s what I did the third time after reading about that problem. I guess it was the crash that time that screwed with the auto saves.

God, I hate shit like that! When it makes you wonder if you can quit the game because it’s late for example. Does it save? When did it save last? That’s just asshole design.

I’m playing Prey at the moment, it has quick saves aside of regular manual saving. It’s so comfortable!

I played Control the first time without problems.

The second time my save games got messed up after doing the first mission for the janitor. Seemed my old cloud save games fucked it up. It became a mess.

The third time I deleted every cloud save, and it worked. Then, after ten hours the game crashed. And I lost three missions. And a lot of progress. None of the auto saves fixed it.

Dear Remedy, I have a PC. With a hard drive. I have room for thousands of save games. Let me fucking save my game myself!!

I had good memories of Control, but now my memories consist only of frustration. Why don’t Devs put in a reasonable save system in their games?

The Dopefish. Many used it over the years, and most have at least seen it.

After reading Wikipedia they are still active if I understand correctly? They are not dead?

Absolutely. Why pay more if less is good enough?

They are open about it, and give the option to get more RAM if you want it. Fine by me.

No one with a 4k monitor will by them anyway.
