  • That reminds me of when people would enter a keyboard combination to flip the screen of the computers at school. I think the IT department ended up removing those computers.

  • I nearly did something similar. My friend and I found a lighter and didn't want to get in trouble for burning stuff so we did it under his porch.

  • I'll have to watch the BBC interview. The way the article is worded makes it sounds like they've been in communication with Bethesda while creating Fallout London.

  • It's been a while but I remember liking the DLC more than the base game. If you own it you might want to give it a try.

  • I also put our phone in a bucket of water. My dad asked me to hold it but I was already carrying a bucket of water so I just put it in the bucket.

  • Yeah but I feel like that died out with cocaine in Coca Cola for the most part at least in the US

  • Well when it comes to water I feel like it has a lot to do with corporate events and advertising. If you are in Florida for example and the water tastes like it's been filtered with dead fish you might be more inclined to grab a bottle.

    As for soda I think it has a lot to do with the cost of using glass bottles. People don't really get them refilled. They just recycle them.

  • I'm not sure. Portal and Team Fortress both have really interesting back stories that I think have a bit to do with Valve acquisitions

  • Where's the triple point?

  • I feel like I've heard more jokes about Arch Linux and Gentoo than OpenSUSE

  • I think so. Installing Linux was a hurdle for a lot of people but having it by default on the Steam Deck was a bit of a game changer. Installing Windows on it versus figuring out how to use something Lutris probably takes a similar amount of effort for average casual user.

    I feel like it also helps that Windows isn't very controller friendly, in my experience, and an increasing amount of people are looking for that for couch gaming and viewing media.

  • What a shame. I feel like mods are an example of how passionate fans are and it's not impacting Nintendo's profits if some 12 year old wants to play as Zelda in Trouble in Terrorist Town.

    I wonder how long it will be until Nintendo starts targeting other games with a rich workshop community like Teardown.

  • Same. I was real happy when the MIG Switch came out. I might actually buy a (used) Switch now.

  • Do you mean in things like plastic water bottles or other beverage containers like plastic bottles containing soda?

  • Another catalyst is one company buying another. I cannot think of one example where the acquired company’s product/services got better after a M and A.

    I feel like there have been some positive outcomes of mergers and acquisitions but I am having trouble thinking of them. What comes to my mind is Meta acquiring Oculus, Activision merging with Blizzard, and Microsoft acquiring Minecraft. All of those have led to a shitty Russian nesting doll of launchers and DRM.

    The positives might be harder to note though. There must have been a couple times where some kind of acquisition has brought a series into the mainstream.

    I know a lot of people prefer the classic Fallout games but I do wonder how people would be aware of the series if it weren't for Bethesda buying the right to Fallout for example.
