I can't believe someone else got gunman chronicles. Although mine looks more like a half life cover than yours.

Rtcw is also my goto memory whenever someone mentions Wolfenstein. The modded 64 player servers were a blast despite the lag.

Yea sometimes you don't really know what is in the bundle you got. At least you didn't buy it multiple times.

But you'll get around to them at some point, and it's a good deal so if you buy it later it might cost more. No it's fine you definitely won't get distracted by another game and will start it after the one you are playing just now.

I don't know what you mean "I've had that unplayed game for 17 years," I'm going to play it next, (after this one I'm about to buy.)

Was that not the concern in 2016 as well? That he had large debts to undisclosed people who might influence him, "off the record."

Realistically early access launches are just launches. Some games get a boost and surge when they go 1.0, but the vast majority don't. Using the ea tag may put more people off than the buggyness, and people forget about the game 3 years later when it hits 1.0. I think paradox knew about it and just decided it would reduce sales more then the bug reports would.

Don't get me wrong I don't think games with major bugs should be released as a 1.0 product if they are asking a high price. There are great games that started ea and became great, but it was a risk for them when they did that.

Sorry we can't employ you as your ssn is too long. Also we can't have any new employees called Mike Smith as the HR system already has someone with that name.

Can't they just send up extra suits with the dragon capsule? Badly fitted suits are probably better than none, it's not like they are piloting it down.

Starting June 2024, iFixit will no longer be Samsung’s designated third-party parts and tools distributor. Also starting next month, we will no longer have a quantity limit of seven Samsung parts per repair shop per quarter.

Wow that is quite a limit Samsung. I can see why no one would want to be a partner with them. (Which was obviously the point.)

I find it surprising that existed. Not an unreasonable change.

For the lazy, when a game sold "advanced access" as part of a pre-purchase; game time before release didn't count to the 2h refund limit. So you could play eg 10h of a game, then refund it on release. This is them fixing it.

It's all allocated, but not all those allocations are for routing on the internet. Eg private ranges, localhost space, multicast, experimental ranges. Unfortunately you can't repurpose those ranges as there is already kit out there that is hard coded to treat them a particular way.

I'm sure that commit will be fixed in sort order and not remain that way until it becomes a "we don't know why, but just do this bit."

IIRC the EU also ruled that burying the rejection options under additional links counts as a violation. Hence why Google now has a Reject button next to the accept button. Most sites still do that.
