May I ask out of curiosity what led to the decision that this was a good idea?

Since she has horns (are these horns?) I’d call some scientists over. This might be the biggest discovery of all time. An extraterrestrial or extra dimensional lifeform? This would change everything!

Bob Roberts. It’s more relevant than ever!

If you are not sure how to search for a specific problem and can just describe it in a few sentences then it’s definitely worth the effort.

And for the state many search engines are in today that is sometimes the better way to find stuff.

I have a bunch of retro machines, and one of them is running XP. Not long ago I enjoyed No one lives forever on it. Nothing beats the correct hardware.

Regarding fixes, Service Pack 2 is enough. And since Steam is not supporting retro machines anymore there is no reason to connect it to the internet anymore, thankfully gog let’s me download the installers, all the more reason to use gog exclusively. At least for my special gaming tastes.

Asimov’s Foundation. That got me back into reading after around twenty years. Now I read one book a month, mostly sci fi, for nine years now.

Thank you Isaac Asimov, I could not imagine a life without reading anymore.

I watched “The man who knew too much” from the 50s yesterday. Doris Day might be the female role he likes. Obedient. Her husband tells her what to do, she is on a nervous breakdown constantly. Good times?

I prefer modern women anytime!!

Same. The moment you don’t understand the dialogue then it’s not important, that moment it’s about atmosphere. Worked great for me. I enjoyed the sound mixing in this movie!

I had this on my first installation a few years ago, but then never again. I’m using Pro.

For me it was the other way around. FMA had the better story with a drift at the end into the twilight zone, while FMAB drifted into a generic action show. I never understood the hype.

I did not know this trailer, thank you! Awesome movie!!

Be careful what you wish for…

One good thing that came out of this mess was that I discovered Gamer’s Nexus, information packed and down to earth. I’d rather have 20 minutes of information than 5 minutes plus 15 minutes showmanship.

I know what you mean, but you still don’t own the game, you have permission to play it, at least as long as the platform lets you or it closes. For now it’s all good, but when the time comes people will loose accounts worth thousands of bucks.

You want to really own your game, not just a license, buy on gog. Not on Steam, not on Epic, not on uplay and whatever else.

Why is everyone so pissed at Ubisoft, they just say what’s practise for years now! And sometimes counter Ubisoft by quoting Gabe Newell, what the fuck? He made not owning games popular!

This is exactly what I’m doing. Games still look great, they run great, and chances are there are a bunch of quality of life mod improvements.

Days gone released on gog not long ago, the first thing I got was the mod for silencers, what a bullshit idea to only use it for five shots and then it’s gone.

And I forgot: I never buy a GaaS! They will shut down The Crew soon, a game I play on a regular basis and one of the most relaxing titles ever made. I don’t care how great a game might be, you won’t get any money out of me ever again dear companies.

Forgive me, but if there ever was a niche scenario this is it.

Could be worse. Could be Paklet poetry.

My friends all had A500s and I was the only one with a PC, I envied them so much. Next Christmas my parents had a surprise for me in my father’s home office, and behold, a 386, soundblaster and a colour VGA monitor. Thanks to the hard drive now I was the one envied :).

But up to this day, even though I never owned one myself the Amiga has forever a special place in my heart! Great memories with good friends!
