I’m just a cat walking on a keyboard…
I’ve seen the same thing. Seems like the new behavior is to just let me login, play, and it will get what it needs in the background and automatically update on next launch.
Makes sense not to bother me to update a 0.1 release change after launch (unless it’s urgent) when I just want to play Tetris.
Isn’t this the same behavior web browsers use? Background download and update on next launch?
Not complaining, I prefer this update cycle as default.
Yeah… no. And looking at the weird framed photo in the background I think this was more for a marketing thing. Perhaps a music band the kids liked back in the day?
Or it’s AI.
I like how this is the future version of getting a send-off by the USS Constitution
Nice. You got a good dad joke here. Enjoy your up-toot!
I got a good laugh on this take on the FF XI experience. And then I laughed again when I saw this was an AI image of a 20 year old game.
Nice saving a CRT (although interesting picture quality on the other photo).
Grab a Pi 3 or similar that has proper 480i analog output and connect directly to the RCA jack like it is 1993.
The best DMs are the ones that can adapt and come up with stuff on the fly. The only guaranteed thing is that the players are idiots and will try and punch a NPC in the tavern on day 1… throwing your well planned story out the window.
Yes, your escrow can go up that much if your property tax, school tax, or in some cases insurance had a sudden jump in value or changes in what can be claimed. It varies by area and loan, but isn’t unheard of.
I get the joke, but did the person writing this have a stroke halfway through writing it?
I’m trying to remember when I last had a real “free trial” and not these “give me your credit card subscription scams”. A bonafide “try our thing for real” situation made me buy it.
Free food or drinks for sure. Maybe a newspaper or magazine when I was a kid?
While I don’t follow the current eSports Call of Modern War Battle shooter game, I believe they may be making fun of certain team players of said game who called themselves “Lethal Company”… but now this name is more commonly associated with a different online multiplayer indie game that is more popular.
Although I could be wrong. I am not an AI
Gyro support on XInput has been on PC gamers wishlist for awhile.
XInput is a solid standard (especially if you look at the state of gaming in the pre 2000’s) but it is in need of an update…
Check out one of the Fedora spins if you want to go Wayland.
Yeah, this is a pretty sad bait for Internet points. The AI BOTs are getting lazy.
Official company policy being printed and posted on the refrigerator… totally legit. SMH
I appreciate the hi-resolution photo. I did a double-take when the image loaded like a dial-up JPG from GeoCities.
Makes me think about what I should prioritize… network transfer or local storage.
I mean, that is a solid 5/7 desert they put together!
If you can get any kind of multiscan monitor you’re usually set for computers of that era. Connectors can be handled by passive adaptors if needed, but it is actually the refresh rate that is not always supported by the common VGA CRT (specifically the 15 kHz horizontal refresh rate).
Multiscan monitors had various names depending on the manufacturer. MultiSync, DiamondTron, SyncMaster, etc… so if you can get any CRT with 15 kHz support, you’re set.
Hmmm. Yes. A nice spotted dick.
