Humble Bundle is a big contributor to my unplayed games. There’s usually only a few games in a bundle that I’m interested in at a good price, and the test I’ll eventually get to… Maybe when I retire… If I get to retire…

The weekend crew rolled in

This does not whip the llama’s ass.

P.S. Also, groceries are already expensive enough. Eating out costs even more than that.

Still bleeding in a warehouse wondering WTF just happened.

Generals was really fun. The C&C series really started to decline once EA went balls deep on what was left of Westwood studios for the games after that.
3D is great. I just don’t trust most AAA companies to make a decent RTS these days.

To Tiberian Sun and StarCraft were my obsession for years. SC2 was pretty awesome, but I would not trust Blizzard to make another good RTS at this point.

It’s easy. You cut down the quality of your products rapidly and start being recommended against by the people that used to buy your products.

Corsair used to be good. I enjoyed their products. However, their quality has plummeted over the past few years, and their iCue software is absolutely terrible. It will routinely crash, and completely lock up my keyboard and mouse.

That’s true. A little communication during the deactivation period could have gone a long way. I’m not surprised it was overlooked, all things considered.

Speaking candidly about business negotiations can harm a good working relationship if you say the wrong thing. You also don’t want to say anything that could be perceived as badmouthing the people that hold the keys to your success. He’s likely just trying to be careful while being as transparent as possible.

It’s called “Not reading your fucking contract or doing due diligence for the people who paid for your product and then kicking the can to the people you signed a contract with.”

If people had read the bright yellow text above the buy button on the Steam store page or the EULA, the account linking announcement would not have been a surprise.

They didn’t ignore it. They shut it off after the first week because Sony’s servers were so clogged up, people weren’t able to set up their accounts. Plus, they were dealing with all the other server issues. It was only a matter of time before they were going to have to turn it back on.

Not only has the “requires linking a PlayStation Network account” advisory been on the Steam page from the start, but anyone that picked up the game at launch is already linked.

I’m not a fan of the linking; but since I don’t own a Sony console, it’s just yet another account that serves no purpose to me other than letting me play a couple of games I own on PC.

It’s really unfortunate. Native Instruments seems to almost refuse to support Linux.

My current full-stop is lack of support for a lot of peripherals, particularly music equipment.

It’s not. It’s a visual of light polarization laid over the black hole photo taken a few years ago. Original Image

It’s because the airline tells them they have to require it, and it’s critical not to deviate from policy when it comes to safety. The airline is being told to require it by their governing authority, who updates rules and regulations at the speed of bureaucracy and an air of “but did you die, tho?”.

I used Vortex in the past, and it was not a good experience for me. I’m assuming it’s improved over the years; but it’s basically a master installer for mods with a lot of bugs.

The biggest advantage of MO2 is being able to set up mod profiles that are separated from your game and each other. You can drop in/out mods for troubleshooting, adjust load orders, and toggle specific parts of a mod. For example, you can have an entirely vanilla version of Skyrim, and then launch a modded version through MO2. If something isn’t working, you can toggle mods without messing up the load order or specific settings you’ve made. It also allows you to adjust the “overwrite” order of mods on the fly without losing the files from the original mod, which has been an absolute game changer for modding.

Install 50 mods at once and the game broke? You can temporarily disable half of them and check if the game still loads. It works now? Re-enable half of the ones you disabled and try again. Within a handful of launches, you can narrow down the issue to a specific mod. Was the issue a specific plugin that’s supposed to make it compatible with another mod you don’t have? You can disable that plugin and keep the whole mod.

Got everything working great, but now you want to make a new save with different mods, but want to be able to go back to that old save file? Make a new profile and load up whatever mods you want just for that save.

Really though, MO2 is awesome. It makes modding super easy, especially when you break Skyrim yet again.
