The marketing oversold the idea that if you wanted to do something it would amaze you to find it was expected by the designers.

Most of the, I thought at the time, very obvious thing I wanted to explore thematically were not there. Also, Romance felt clunky and unnuanced.

Make it IBM T43 and Oblivion.

Sure, and you are meant to wake up again, eventually. The story doesn’t make sense as “you are a PhD that get enrolled as a spacetime warrior to get deployed once and then retired in the void eternally”.

Does it says “Half-Life 3” on the box? No? So you are telling me there’s a chance… - Anybody in Marketing

It doesn’t have to be Valve, it doesn’t have to be the Valve you are thinking of, it doesn’t have to be Gaben.

Imagine, for a brief dystopic moment, “Disney-Activision-Nestlé”, if you will.

HL3 will come eventually, is too big an easy cash grab for the machine not to capitalyze on it.

It will be shit though.

I’m not talking about G-Man, I’m talking about everything else. The war against The Combine, mostly.

In what world the main story was complete? Like sure you could argue it could have been a legitimate choice to end it in that way but by no mean it answered any of the lingering questions.

Dark matter and dark energy are not necessarily connected to black holes. The latter are relatively well understood on their own.

Yes but also no, the whole appeal is tied to her brand (her public image x the character HER), unlike Woody who is an original creation.

It’s like doing a commercial using a lookalike dressed like the original guy and pretending that’s a completely different actor.

Or you can record yourself buying stuff holding a newspaper and your ID.

A lot of guys in my generation have most of their savings in crypto.

No they do not.

I had no idea, I had some issues running native and I somewhat gaslight myself into thinking Valve somehow deprioritized Linux support.

I guess my problem is solved then. Thanks!

You do not, in fact, understand correctly.

“Paranoid”, “Pointless”, “Basement”, “Obsessive”, “Hackers”, “nerds”.

It is still a very very very very marginal and marginalyzed topic unless your social cyrcle is a very specific one.

In my experience the positive and/or effective ones are “GDPR”, “Snowden”, “Surveillance”, “Freedom”…

I’m a fellow noob, maybe that’s why I found the bath side of it more amusing. I can relate to the pervasive obsession and unexpected eureka moments.

According to a different thread “USB 4” is in fact “USB4”.

Are you, like, manually writing down on paper the 0s and 1s of the software you use? Personally it takes me 20 seconds top to “download a whole program”.

Other than a couple of neat features, basically it allows you to have the youtube account features, without having an account.

Locally you tell him what channels you care for, and it fetches your homepage for you, without all the strings attached to google doing that within your account and, hence, knowing exactly what kind of person you are.
