An "airport neighbourhood" where people can store their planes in their yard and taxi directly to the runway

  • Thank you, this gave me a good chuckle.

    • The two types of PC builders. Which are you?

  • I don't like double-sided tape in combination with electronics.

  • I've had a dangling SSD in my machine for years now, no issues. It's one of those things you do when on a budget and things don't work out fully as expected.

    I also still habe optical drives in my machine, one of which is only in there because I no longer have the cover for the drive slot. The drive itself is disconnected and dead.

    • What browser do you use on your PC/Mac?

    Jump

  • Firefox.

    It's the only browser which can give me certain very simple behaviours. For example, noise the bookmark toolbar a lot. And I want bookmarks from that toolbar to automatically open in a new tab when I left-click on them. Firefox can give me that, whereas Chrome and most Chromium-based browsers don't even give me the option. I have to middle-click or ctrl-click, otherwise that bookmark mercilessly opens over my current tab. Could I teach myself a new habit (middle-click instead of left-click in the bookmark bar)? Sure. Should I have to?

    The only Chromium browser that was able to give me this behaviour is Vivaldi, and that had a whole lot of other problems.

    The other killer Firefox feature is tab containers. Wouldn't want to go another day without them.

    • Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun?

  • Maybe not the most unfun game I have ever played (I've played games since the late 90s), but certainly the most unfun I have played in recent years: Elex.

    I liked Piranha Bytes' old Gothic series a lot despite its weaknesses and idiosyncrasies. The Risen games weren't that great, but the reviews for Elex were pretty promising. So I gave it a shot, and tried for about 16 hours to find the fun in it. I stopped playing when I realised:

    • I couldn't hold my own in almost any battle because I didn't have good enough gear
    • In order to get better gear, I had to join one of the game's factions
    • In order to join one of the factions, I had to perform a number of tasks for them
    • The factions were all just dickheads, and I didn't want to do anything for them, much less their dirty work

    So yeah, no fun to be had with this one.
