It’s also the speed of news now. When you had a edition a day in print there was time to do research.
Now with instant publishing on the web it’s more important to get the basic story out fast. With the hope it’s the one that sites like reddit pickup.
I played Fallout 4 back when it came out. About 10 hours in I was doing some quest approaching a building with some guys I had to kill to get a thing. And I realized I wasn’t having fun.
I thought about what else I could do. Building settlement wasn’t fun. The quests stories were dull. I didn’t like any of the NPC characters. So I stopped playing figuring I would come back latter.
It’s been years and I still haven’t bothered returning. A I’ve been playing Bethesda games starting with daggerfall.
Linux isn’t going to help much when the applications are using a lot ram. Firefox is an absolute ram hog linux or windows. Linux is just going to use less of the ram for it self.
But you can’t remove pocket from firefox just disable it. Given that it wa also a close source binary blob that made firefox not completely open source I’m glad it’s going.
Who could forget truly an inventionbefore it’s time.

Kings Quest? I played them on pc. They had stuff you needed the manual for but that was it. Did they change it for Nintendo?
It’s kind of the opposite of eclipse. People who use it like it and people who don’t have experience with it disparage it.
Yeah C# gets a bad rap. I spent a decade developing in C++, and Java before switching to C# because of program requirements. Now I never want to go back.
I don’t have a favorite but a few I liked a lot.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension: great fun crazy cast.
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant. Such a strange world. I would have loved to see sequels.
Pandorum: Clever scifi horror. Unique situation and setting.
Rustlers Rhapsody: The main character is a genre savvy singing cowboy from 1940s westerns transported to a 1980s western. The bad guys have to team up with some spaghetti western villains.
Probably their in house sysadmin drew it.
Great expression.
To be fair a lot of human translators don’t bother to be accurate or capture wordplay. Some of the translations for netflix are so bad.
And I’m from the other end where I came from Morrowind and couldn’t get into Oblivion because it was so generic compared to the earlier game. Monsters leveling to the character made it so safe.
I remember when the monster that was spawning everywhere changed type I knew I had leveled up.
Ah yes. Land Skyranger, open door, sectoid throws grenade into Skyranger. Evac with one survivor. Good times.
There is a lot of truth to this old commercial. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y5DpaCvoCn0
I cut my teeth on Space Quest 1 and Kings Quest 3. Not only was the very spefic vocabulary a pain but so many solutions were a dead end trap.
I remember in Space Quest if you typed use [item] it would give you a message about not being a simple 2 word game and tell you to say use [item] on [thing]. It required that format.
Then halfway through the game the solution to one puzzle is use glass. Not use glass on laser. I has figured out the puzzle right away but it took me days to get the right wording.
Those games have not aged well.
blade runner 2049. It’s a crap story with crap acting and direction. The visuals are just bad. I have no idea why it’s so liked.
Redhawk the coked out shop kid you normally want nothing to do with but will also give you a ride to another town at 3 am.
Mia Goth in Peral.
Bankrupt and the founder and ceo is the new owner after buying it in the bankruptcy auction.
