I still hold Call to Power as the best “Civilisation” game. I started playing the actual Civilisation games from Civ3 onwards and was pretty consistently disappointed because most of the ‘new and exciting features’ had already been in CtP and were often DLC in Civ. Kind of wish a modern CtP would get released.

One of the biggest controversies at the start of all of this was Ubisoft pulling The Crew whilst pushing people to buy The Crew 2. Frankly it’s amazing we haven’t seen that more often with the near identical sequels such as the Madden, FIFA, F1 etc games.

No one’s forcing you to buy a remaster… unless they are because they revoke your right to play the original so it’s your only option.

Remasters and remakes will still happen but companies won’t have as much freedom to yoink a purchased product from your pocket years down the track in the name of some profit strategy.

Alternatively, when the console control scheme is tight and well made but the PC controls are ASDF + whatever random keys spread at opposite ends of the keyboard.

Alt+tab also cycles between 2 tabs in edge if a previos tab was selected

Alt+tab? What about ctrl+tab? What we were talking about…

To answer my own question, I did a bit of searching and it looks like ctrl+tab still only cycles to the next tab in Edge. There’s a few requests for it to cycle to previous tab like alt+tab but looking through the settings and stuff it still doesn’t look like an option.

Always happy to be proven wrong but it looks like it’s still not an option.

It’s so odd to me that this isn’t the default behaviour for all browsers especially Edge. It’s literally alt+tab behaviour but for some reason browser designers decided it wouldn’t work that way.

Yes, though not to the extreme.

Shaggy looking like he should be watching Better Homes and gardens while crocheting a blanket.

And I relate.

Tits, self relief and death? That’s one more thing than I’m guaranteed at the moment, where do I sign up?

What came first; moths or lamps?

I especially liked meme community bots. Yes they were disruptive but as long as they were fun they were fulfilling a purpose and typically contained within the community they were for.

My inner monologue even said “2 delta V… wait.”

I see Nintendo as a law firm and they have within their roster a lot of talented lawyers.

Sounds like a good premise for a scifi story.

Imagine a lights and sirens pursuit around a roundabout.

This is my own experience but the past few years Windows has been extremely dependable for me and then in the last few months the updates they’ve have been terrible. I’ve seen more blue screens recently than I have in a lot of years.

All this to say that if it is 30% AI code being used then it’s very telling!

Spacebar looks to be exactly what I’ve been looking for! Unfortunately, according to their FAQ the voice and video features aren’t implemented yet but here’s hoping that someone comes on-board to help set it up 🤞definitely an easy decision for a self hosted Discord alternative if that comes to fruition!

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it but the movie Mimic had bugs that had grown to the size of a human and taken on a vaguely human form in order to hunt us.

The movie used the reasoning that the bugs had developed basic lungs which enabled them to grow past the limits of their usual breathing apparatus.

No point to make here, I just remember it being cool that they put a small amount of thought into why the bugs could grow to human proportions.
