Skipping 9 was due to a combination of marketting ("It's nothing like 8 was, we swear! It's not even 9, it's 10!") and ye olde third party software developers making the poor decision to query the OS name instead of the OS version to set some compatibility stuff.

It really bothers me that green is used for Wales instead of Ireland.

It does rhyme...

However, Reach's tagline was, "From the beginning, you know the end," so there was an expectation that everyone playing would know how it was going to pan out.

They don't, because it's a fundamental systemic flaw of the Order. Someone like Anakin was innevitable, and those people show up regularly within the knights. Dooku and Ventress had similar problems, and that's just major figures contemporary to Anakin. The Inquisitors were others with similar issues, and even they are just from the small fraction of Jedi that survived the innitial purge.

It's really not a coincidence that the most well adjusted Jedi spent so much time away from the Order.

The Xenoblade games. Probably Xenogears and Xenosaga, too, but I haven't played those yet.

The Halo 1 and KOTOR twists do hit pretty hard if you somehow haven't been spoiled. KOTOR has one of my favorite reveal sequences ever with showing you how much foreshadowing you missed, and Halo's twist turns the game on its head.

Especially Phantom Liberty. I went in blind, made decisions, lived to regret them, fucked up everything, and loved every minute of it.

Isn't it pretty normal for judges to prohibit plaintiffs and defendants from talking about active court cases outside of the court room? I doubt Asian News International is allowed to publish articles about the case, either.

Because you have two primary camps there right now - the corpocratic old guard and the nationalistic new guard. The nationalists were never actually supposed to have power, they were just meant to be an easily manipulable voter base. It's not even the first time they've had an 'inmates running the asylum' situation because the exact same thing happened with racists when they tried the Southern Strategy.

There's also an orange-brown Kzinti on Lower Decks, one of the newer shows.

I wouldn't count that one. It's not just the names, the characters themselves have been borrowed for a crossover plot.

Civ6 also has issues with the Linux version due to Aspyr slacking. A bunch of the newer content hasn't been ported yet. Fortunately, you can force Steam to install the Windows version and run it with Proton.

I run a local account and toggled off all the telemetry stuff during installation nine years ago. Never saw one of those. Didn't even get toggled on with updates. Only problem I had was Copilot getting added a few weeks ago. By that time, Win10 had become the compatibility fallback for Linux, though.

So, create a local account, go into Settings, and toggle off everything that could maybe be telemetry related.

Being able to release on their own schedule instead of being made to crank out massive RPGs in eighteen months helped a lot.

The movie industry needs to do what steam has done. Make it more convenient to do it legally and people that have money will pay instead of stealing.

They had that. It was called Netflix. Then they got greedy and everyone decided to have their own Netflix. Now piracy has gone up.

I played Doom 4. I know where this is going.

Dick Grayson has the uncanny ability to stay friends, often with benefits, with all of his ex-girlfriends. I wouldn't be surprised if Tim had more girlfriends in total, but Dick managed more at the same time.

Just like Windows versions.

Reminds me of Morrowind's directions, with the frequent east-west mixups, and sporadic north-south mixups.
