  • Half tempted to love any gamedev company that promises to keep making singleplayer games, that can be played offline, without microtransactions and battlepasses. It would take more than a few botched game launches to make me give up on them.

  • Arkane Studios, for Dishonored, Prey, Dark Messiah, Deathloop.

    Used to be Looking Glass Studios. And then Ion Storm. Do you see a pattern?

  • Veidt asked the precognitive being if his plans for utopia would come to be, and if it was all worth it in the end. Osterman cryptically responded by saying "Nothing ever ends", and teleported away leaving Veidt once again in doubt as to whether or not his plan was successful.

    From what I understood, he spent the whole story acting super-sure about what would happen if he did nothing, and how he alone could fix it. But in the end of the comic, this showed he had doubts. Veidt didnt have precognition, just very good prediction. But also an over-inflated ego. He killed a lot of people for a "maybe".

  • I cant see Ozymandias as a good guy. At all. None of the "heroes" are, but Oz was the worst of them.

  • Jup, useless folder. There's one related thing I've complained a lot about lately, so I'm gonna complain some more about it:

    Microsoft got this "great" idea of trying to repeatedly trick me into uploading that Documents folder to the cloud. A folder filled with GBytes of Battlefield and Assassins Creed cache files, Starfield mods, MS database files, etc... A lot of files that are in constant change, or locked the entire session. Annoying as hell. I love Onedrive, but I dont know why its so damn important for them to have those files.

    Sometimes I really wish I could switch to some Linux distro instead.

  • I believe MOST people have such a strong need to follow something that they will ignore or invent justification for the morality of it. And I dont think one can learn that, rather one has to learn NOT to follow. But I'm no psychiatrist.

  • Damn I've always wanted Windows to have that. Being able to put user folders on another partition, or even another drive, at install time. And being able to use "dynamic disk" (aka software raid) to expand partitions across disks as storage requirements grow. I know it is possible to setup, but with a lot of workarounds and annoying problems.

  • I dont think theres so few. A lot of people have a need to be led. And if it isnt religion and gods it is something else. Like "leaders". Like the golden(-ish) cow the US' republicans are worshiping.

  • We got space. Its not like a new language with unique character sets are just gonna pop up any day now. Maybe if we found intelligent aliens.

  • If so, I'll gladly call myself a kid again just to be allowed to use emojis. 😁

  • They could include it. Give it a spot. But blank. And then it would be up to each OS if they want to include the icon on their device. That way we could at least let those less prudish nations and companies start with a common code point.

    Like flags for example. They got codepoints, but Microsoft has decided to not take sides and have ignored country's flags.

  • Uncooked of course.

    Why would anyone ruin it by cooking it into porridge?! (jk, but im no fan of it cooked)

  • Lucky you! I wasn't allowed to make anything more advanced than sandwiches. I would only make a mess, my mom complained. She was a bit obsessed with cleanliness and control.

    I ate a lot of microwaved cheese sandwiches, and fried eggs as soon as I could move out, though. And spaghetti with ketchup. And rice with ketchup. Cheap and delicious food for a student.

  • Norwegian here. My family grew up in the 90s on mostly on oatmeal in milk, with some jam or sugar added. I love it. Quick to assemble and doesn't make much of a mess to clean up.

  • Dont forget ink recipe. A new type of ink had to be invented for the printing press. Soot, turpentine, and walnut oil should do it.

  • I don't think you would survive either. People wasn't stupid back then and you'd probably quickly get fridged for being a walking curse.

  • Is Burnham still the one-man away-team? The better episodes was where more of the crew got to contribute.

  • Now that Marvel got them, I doubt its gonna be any reboots after the next, in quite a while.

    But they will have to switch out actors as they move on to new projects, becomes too expensive, or get too old for the role. And leaving their biggest earning superheroes unused or dead isnt profitable. I'm calling it: Iron Man and Captain America will return, played by new actors, still within the same MCU continuity, within a decade.

  • Replace walking with bicycling and you get the entire Oslo within 30 minutes distance. Just don't stop anywhere or your bike will probably get sabotaged.

  • I got the impression it depends on the translation or adaption, and also the culture at the time it was translated or adapted.
