I remember wanting to play one of the Ultima games so badly on an old Win95 PC, but the game wasn't fully compatible and would play at like 5x speed. I see so many people reminiscing about how great the games were back in the day and it makes me a little sad I couldn't figure out the issue at the time.
I'd be all for a remake just so I could experience the stories.
I didn't say it was immoral. I'm advocating legalizing it all to eliminate the black market for it. When drugs and prostitution are legalized, there's more transparency and oversight, reducing opportunities for bad actors.
You know, Robin Williams was the reason that I started doing stand-up comedy? My personal hero. Knowing that he did this for Neelix, especially when he was getting a lot of hate? Robin is a saint. Also just a small thing because I wanted to honor the man…...
Adam Savage has a very similar story meeting Robin Williams on the set of Bicentennial Man and getting a essentially a private show from him for a few minutes. Robin Williams was an amazing human being, flaws and all.
I deployed a few of these. They were 10 years behind the curve. The monitor weighed as much as a flat panel from 15 years ago, the stand was fucking HUGE making it hard to move. The camera and microphone were an afterthought and not worth using (the mic would pick up every little touch on the Jamboard). The entire thing felt like it was built for design first rather than function
It’s time to talk about something Star Wars has been avoiding for some time: recasting its original trilogy characters. There have long been calls for the likes of Luke Skywalker to be portrayed by new actors (Sebastian Stan, anyone?) but it has, by and large, been something that the franchise hasn’t needed to properly...
Have you been watching Ahsoka? I personally feel they are at least trying to take the story in the direction you're talking about. Sabine has next to no force powers, but is taken on as an apprentice by a former Jedi, there's another former Jedi who is framed as a sith but still holds attachments to his former life (didn't go full Darth Vader).
The current GOP frontrunner has changed his political affiliation 5 times. Text book example of what you're saying: changing positions for power, nothing else.
Did a game ever delete your save data? Or brick your entire console? Have you ever come across horrific visual bugs? Or scary audio? What are your experiences with glitches?
To add onto this, one of the Arkham games had a bug in the last fight with Joker that wouldn't let you finish the fight with mouse/keyboard. It was a QTE and it would recognize the button press, but wouldn't recognize you were holding it down, so the animation kept resetting like you were taunting the joker before finally finishing him off.
People have become too entitled with the idea that all information should and must be updated and accurate in the information age.
I grew up learning how to read the Rand McNally maps. Imagine if one of those maps showed a road/bridge was available only to find out it wasn't. It's not the map makers responsibility, nor do they have an obligation for 100% accuracy. They strive for accuracy only because it's good for their business.
I saw in the article that they're suing the road owners. Those are who are responsible, not Google. They took down the barricades because of "vandalism" and didn't immediately replace them.
I work with a group based in India. They have a completely different culture around messaging. Things I would consider worthy of an email comes as a message from them (i.e. doesn't need immediate attention/ escalation).
They are also very formal when initiating new messages, almost like they're following the same social standards as if they met you in the hallway (e g. Hi, how are you? Btw, I have this thing I need to talk to you about.). Mind you, this is all the time after exchanging dozens of messages a day.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, just lends some credence to what Musk said.
The 'John Wick' prequel follows the origin story of Winston Scott (Colin Woodell), the powerful owner of the iconic hotel-for-assassins from the franchise films.
I watched the Wick movies for the choreography. I love the single shot action sequences they're able to do since Keanu was doing the majority of his stunts.
I'll check in on the TV show to see if it replicates the feeling of the movies, but I don't have high hopes. I hope they can surprise me.
Something like 70% of greenhouse gasses are produced by 100 companies globally. This is like using a cup to empty an Olympic sized pool: yes, it does something, but not enough.
We need to maintain focus on the big producers and affect change there first and foremost.
This article talks specifically about energy usage, not consumption of products. Work from home likely wouldn't have an impact in consumed goods.
I'm a WFH employee, and my company has no plans to change it. I'm all for WFH. I brought up the issue of 100 companies producing 70% of greenhouse gases because to me this article lines up with the idea of us reducing our individual carbon footprint, which we've found out in the last few years was just a coordinated effort by the fossil fuel industry to deflect their responsibility to us.
All of these efforts are good. WFH is good, renewable energies are good, EVs are debatable (depending on where you stand on how the rare materials needed for the batteries are sourced) but overall better than gas and diesel. But at the end of the day, if your tub is overflowing you need to turn off the tap first before you pick up the mop.
And people turn their heads, move their eyes across their windshield, change focus to look ahead or closer, look in their mirrors, listen for sounds (emergency vehicles, car honks, etc), are able to do things like look through gaps and other car windows to adjust to partial obstructions.
The fact that he doesn't realize you need a multitude of sensors to do even a little bit of what a human can do tells you all you need to know about Elon's so called brilliance.
The former clerk in Rowan County, Ky., was sued by two same-sex couples to whom she refused to grant marriage licenses, claiming it violated her religious beliefs. Her attorney says she will appeal.
One thing I love about the GOP is to see them constantly abandon their pawns. Kim Davis, Joe the Plumber, Kyle Rittenhouse, etc.... All of these people were mainstage for their 15 minutes of fame and the moment the GOP had wrung them out for all the outrage bait they can generate, they get left in the deep end to fend for themselves.
All of The Clone Wars is the main filler between 2&3.
Not sure if there's much between 3&4. I have trouble keeping the whole time line in my mind since the newer show releases jump around so much.
What games do you think would be great if they'd get properly remastered and would be a hit if it was done?
I believe this will mostly affects games which were lacking in technology....
