I love the musics. After finishing the game, I played the main theme in my car again and again and again.

It’s way more exhaustive actually ! https://books.google.fr/books?id=7mWeBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA97&hl=fr&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1#v=onepage&q&f=false

From my point of view : it has a hudge ecosystem with tons of robust libraries. This does not make it perfect, but for an industrial point of view, you don’t look for new shiny clean things. (My point of view is 15 years old yet…)

Yes. It breaks points.

The thing is, harmful apps are now difficult to detect compared to years ago. The hackers prefer to get the control of your device without ruining it.

And Barbie. What a spin-off !

LAN parties. I remember the first time I could connect two PC together. It was Doom, with a serial-to-serial cable. We were two players on the same fucking map. It was awesome!

Then coax cable networks with friends. We used to have two or three different networks during a LAN party since you could not disconnect the coax cable to add a player without stopping the current games. The players arrived later would plug a new network just for them, and launch a game waiting the first players to finish theirs.

Nokia has chosen both ways at once.

“When the Reddit admins figured out that a large portion of the site is now bots”

In foreign languages like in French, there was a trend, launched by the admins themselves. It was to replicate English communities by translating the posts. It was obvious that it was dumb automated translations since there were cultural references that could not be translated. I know it because I was the owner of such a community and it was sad. My small community had a spirit. After the bots, the community was bland.

Also, when the story is great and not too long, I like not to run. Two examples are Firewatch and Portal 2. I take my time because I don’t want them to finish them fast. It’s like keeping a lotery ticket without checking if you won.

It’s how he speaks. I am a foreigner and when he first came at the head of the USA, the journalists didn’t know how to translate his speaches. Usually, the sentences have one meaning that you can translate into one sentence, thanks to the context. With him, it’s a couple of sentences with no link and the last sentences have absolutely no context. You just can’t translate this.

I second this!

Although he stayed at a hotel under police protection during this time, Kurtaj still managed to carry out an attack on Rockstar Games by using the room’s included Amazon Fire Stick and a “newly purchased smart phone, keyboard and mouse

Lol. If this was in the plot of a movie, I would say that this is implausible.

In the news, 5.000 years later : “Scientists warned that our mass extraction of hydrogen may produce global salinization, but no one wants to reduce its energy consumption.”

And Reddit killed phpBB (kind of).
And phpBB killed the newsgroups.
Etc.

You are right. Convenience killed the previous “protocol”.

And there was r/gadget . Funny thing, I went from r/technology to r/gadget for the same reason : r/technology was 90% business news

Mario Kart Wii (others versions too maybe) has a music with more and more instruments. The more you configure your kart, the more instruments are playing. It’s a nice warmup.

It would not be the first time that a second game from one successful developer will never come to life. I wish that I am wrong.

The novelty was the story in FPS. Before Half Life, all you have to do is to shoot every moving sprite and grab keys to open doors. The story was a splash screen between the levels.

Nowadays it doesn’t look special to have a story. When I first played Half Life, my mind was blown away.
