Windows 2000 was for enterprise, not home use. 8 was for mobile & touchscreens (at first) and that failed miserably yes, hence their 8.1 release. Just like ME they tried hopping on a bandwagon and it flopped. Two major flops in 23 years is not a bad record. But my point remains that when whatever new OS comes out, people look back at the last one with rose tinted glasses.
I've been using windows all my life and I've never seen anyone not say this about "their" version. Except ME. Fuck ME.
But seriously my dad refused to switch to Windows from DOS for the longest time. 95? The best. 98? Can't upgrade. Xp or die. 7 forever. 10 or bust. In 10 years it will be people clamoring over 11 and refusing to switch.
Not the person you responded to but you can turn any shoe into this. Lock laces. Instead of tying my shoes daily you can slip them on and off and they always stay exactly perfect. I adjust them mayyybe once a year. They're like 10 bucks and make my shoes feel amazing.
This is what I do. I got a flushing ear thing specifically with the nozzle for ears on Amazon for like 10 bucks and it's a game changer. I gotta do it yearly.

Every time I see Michael Caine in the news I have to watch this
This is the best measure (preventative). Carb heavy lunches will wreck you. Save the carbs for after work, fall asleep on the couch watching TV, then wake up with a sore back.
In my experience, everything else on thinkpads can and will be abused by my users but the trackpoint is one thing I've never had to replace. Most of my new hires don't even know what it does.
I'm not confused why they're doing it, I'm confused why they think b&m stores are the way to go. I'm sure they can subsidize any potential losses from other money making areas but why not just sell the merch online? Storefront overhead ain't cheap.
Oh it's fantastic, just wanted to throw in at least one reputable film
- Suburban Sasquatch
- chopping mall
- She Came From The Woods
- Army of Darkness
- Carnosaur
- Killer Clowns From Outer Space
- Feeders
- Hack-o-lantern
- Hauntedween
Take your pick, some of these are actual movies, some pretend to be (looking at you Suburban Sasquatch). You'll have some laughs regardless of the pick.
If this is wrong I don't wanna be right
That's a great observation about you hanging out around tractors as a kid and having that sense of awe. I had a similar thing as a kid with my grandpa working on semis and old cars. I really hope they do pull the game off despite my brain telling me this is all a house of cards. But exploring ships and space is so damn fun, this is the closest game to that. Tried all the X games and Elite and everything in between and SC, broke as it is, still has me holding out hope. At the very least if they never make it to a full release I hope someone else tries something similar. Starfield is fun but not scratching the same itch.
I do the same thing and have tons of issues with how they're making the game. That being said it's far from vaporware. The experience is pretty jank at the moment but 2 years ago when I played a lot it was stable and you could sink a lot of hours into an actual gameplay experience, which is far from vaporware from my understanding. Theoretically you still can but I'm waiting to play until it's more stable. It's still alpha yeah but when it works it's an actual game, albeit far from expectations and promises.
People should absolutely criticize the development but calling it fraud seems a stretch, they clearly have a product it's just like 6 years away probably from being what they talked about 6 years ago lol. It seems more like mismanagement and development bloat. The insane backers notwithstanding. Even if they dump development now I had some fun times with $45 spent. It's certainly an interesting experience to behold, I just think the hyperbole around the game can be ridiculous. My two cents.
Yeah dried plums. Idk why it suddenly becomes a new word, something French I think?
I was thinking Barclay had his hand in this monstrosity
He's actually a teetotaler, if he has a sip of alcohol he transforms into George Lucas and starts destroying contraband copies of the original unedited Star Wars trilogy
Try turning off cloud saves for specifically BG3. Each time you quick save the file is about 10 to 20 MB, so default game settings give you 25 quick saves and 25 auto saves, plus any manual saves you did. If you play long enough in a single session you could be having 1GB of save files steam tries uploading after you close the game. If you have slow upload it could take awhile and I've seen people close steam too quickly or crash and it screws up the in progress uploads. Turning off cloud saves will stop that. Just backup your saves elsewhere just in case.
