Yeah, me too. I’m doing the smartphone equivalent of typing with two fingers.

You monster.

I feel like this is probably common sense. The council of people over 20 have decided this months ago, and it should become law any minute now.

Some crazy conspiracy nut who lives in an RV in the wilderness somewhere with the walls covered in tin foil: “I knew it! I fucking KNEW IT!!!”

I’m gonna be the cynic here and predict they’ll still accept a settlement at some point and they’re mostly sending ‘fight’ signals now for strategic reasons.

The Assassin’s Creed franchise nowadays seems more like one of those slushy machines at the mall that perpetually move the same ingredients around in a neverending cycle of despair and stagnation.

Don’t remember that dialogue, but the OP made me think of the Jamrock Shuffle (constantly running around town like a crazy person).

As someone whose first TES was Morrowind, it set the bar so high in terms of worldbuilding, I was honestly a bit disappointed with the later entries into the series. Oblivion (more generic fantasy setting) and Skyrim (nordic with dragons) definitely played better, but the worlds were much less unique and memorable.

Mass Effect completely blew me away when it came out. Loved the overall lore about the Reaper threat and how the different species were connected to each other.

Horizon: Zero Dawn was also great in that regard, and the world felt really well put together, even though the lore wasn’t quite as deep.

Had the same experience with Songs of Conquest. Beautiful game, but something felt off that I can’t put my finger on. The game felt really snowball-y, where your chances to win depend strongly on what resources you control early on, and the magic system (while interesting) felt really imbalanced. Nothing really managed to recreate the HoMM feeling for me.

AFAIK, LineageOS is not a fork but a version of Android that is built on top of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).

Probably, but if it turns out on the higher end of that, say 0.8%, then that’s also not nothing, considering that it’s the result of firing one (1) dude.

Yeah, the way he does it is basically how everyone did it even 10 years ago. The tools were mostly the same then as they are now, with the exception of AI and the fact that handwriting wasn’t as big a thing anymore when today’s undergrads were in school. If you have a fluid and moderately quick handwriting, paper notes will typically be easier to take and more useful for revising the material later on.

Like a dead coral reef.

My girlfriend and I play (mostly local) co-op sometimes. Some games that we enjoyed so far were (local unless otherwise indicated):

• Divinity: Original Sin 2
• Baldur’s Gate 3
• Portal 2
• Diablo 3
• It Takes Two
• A Way Out
• Minecraft (online)
• Stardew Valley (online, may also work locally now)

I recently replayed FFX and couldn’t agree more. Loved every second of it, and it’s still my favorite FF of all time.

Don’t forget Ennio Morricone’s musical genius. Many of the most iconic scores in Western films are his compositions.

Damn, I remember asking you whether you’d play it like 2-3 weeks ago, and here you go. I look forward to your updates as you go through this game!
