Preach!

I have similar questions when YouTubers say the old "don't forget to ring that bell" and the like. What on Earth would I need notifications for? It's on-demand video! The whole point is that it waits for me!

Earn big pounds playing cricket?!

(I'll be impressed if anyone gets this reference)

To be fair, FoMO can be justified. That multiplayer game isn't going to be worth playing in five years time. That game that has cool new tech isn't going to dazzle once things move on, etc..

First day of sitting lessons.

I have something in the region of a thousand games collected over about twenty years. If the price is good and it looks like I might like it (and I can afford to fritter the money away) then I buy it.

That's a thousand (ish) opportunities for entertainment, not a thousand (ish) obligations.

I buy games to have a library to pull from when the mood takes me. If I finished them all then I would no longer have that, which seems bad.

The reward for finishing a "backlog" of games is having nothing more to play. That's like trying to finish a meal in a restaurant quickly to get to the after dinner mint.

I despise treating gaming as an obligation like this. I have a collection of games, not a "backlog".

Sounds like I'm never going to have a reason to buy a current generation console.

I installed Unciv from F-Droid. That's what happened to my Sunday.

Have they fixed roundabouts yet?

When I played a few years ago the traffic in the roundabout would yield to joining traffic, screwing up traffic on a grand scale.

I watched the video they released the other day and stopped half way through. It looked rather dull and also ugly, unfortunately.

How is there no middleware available for NPC movement? It looked tremendously stilted. Similarly the lighting and environments looked worse than things I was playing fifteen years ago. I don't need cutting edge but it looks distractingly ugly to me.

Mechanically I like 64. I'd like a few more tracks, particularly for the battle mode. The later versions add far too much cruft for my tastes.

Is it true that American milk is normally UHT milk?

This link aggregator better! Much better!

Unfortunate for fans of THPS4 but fortunate for me!

I absolutely adore THPS3 but bounced off THPS4 pretty hard. I might actually properly play THPS4's content in this remake.

I really hoped I'd like Superliminal but ultimately I found it lacking in charisma and was tired of it by the time I reached the end. 6/10 is about what I'd rate it. Serviceable but mediocre.

Is this going to end up as an Escape from LA situation?

As we all know, UI is a fundamental part of any piece of software's architecture and cannot be changed without a ground-up rewrite.

Isn't that what the Skate series is for?

Same. I've no interest in watching videos about this stuff. I like skimmable things where I can stop and read more if a particular story takes my interest.
