Comment on Halo: Campaign Evolved | The Silent Cartographer – Thirteen minute gameplay demo in ~games
Wafik Link ParentI'm aware of the differences and still think the remake is the perfect version of the original campaign. In my opinion, the changes are not important, but to each their own.I'm aware of the differences and still think the remake is the perfect version of the original campaign.

I really enjoy driving without time constraints (like needing to be at work for a certain time) so I find it does a good job of relaxing me.
I suppose I should add that I have an EV that I really enjoy driving and costs very little to drive.

Great graphics, runs well and you can easily switch back and forth to remind yourself what it used to look like.
343 or whatever they are called now is just a hollow shell. Bungie in their prime were really cooking and Microsoft not doing everything they could to keep them happy and part of the family was their first mistake.
Halo Infinite was a fun sandbox with stuff I remember from the Halo games but it wasn't a Halo game.

Comment on Subnautica 2 publisher Krafton will be an "AI-first" company, with AI HR, AI R&D, in-game AI services in ~games
Wafik LinkKrafton purchased Eleventh Hour Games which makes Last Epoch, easily the best ARPG currently on the market (in my opinion). It's weird to see them go from a dude on Reddit, to a really good game...Krafton purchased Eleventh Hour Games which makes Last Epoch, easily the best ARPG currently on the market (in my opinion). It's weird to see them go from a dude on Reddit, to a really good game that I have sunk 100s of hours into, to being purchased by Krafton only for them to admit they are a garbage publisher with this focus on AI.
While I realize this doesn't mean EHG will immediately start using AI for their games, it does really change the dynamic. I had no problem supporting a small team making a cool game I enjoy. I don't know if I will be able to bring myself to purchase their future DLC.

Comment on Do you have a favorite setting shared amongst multiple authors? in ~books
Wafik Link ParentI loved Dragonlance as a kid. I enjoy Warhammer 40k games but have never gotten deep into the lore or books. Is there a book or two you would recommend someone to get into the series?I loved Dragonlance as a kid. I enjoy Warhammer 40k games but have never gotten deep into the lore or books.

Add in the long history and that it was still in use until 2013 and it just gave me the creeps.

Comment on Grand Theft Auto made him a legend. His latest game was a disaster. in ~games
Wafik Link ParentYeah you're not missing much. Even if it worked flawlessly, it is still a linear shooter that looks like it's in an open world but is not with poor writing and worse shooting. The only reason it...Yeah you're not missing much. Even if it worked flawlessly, it is still a linear shooter that looks like it's in an open world but is not with poor writing and worse shooting. The only reason it got any attention was the Benzies involvement.
I'm guessing it was rushed out ahead of GTA6 as a lot of people just assumed it would be a GTA clone. In fact, it was just not worth anyone's time.

Comment on Microsoft warns that Windows 10 reaches end of support today in ~tech

I think waiting to the very last day possible was the way to go, as I haven't had any issues getting used to it. I'm not a power user or anything, so 5 minutes with the uninstall tool and I feel good to go. I don't use my PC for much besides gaming so I can't imagine I will have many problems but I guess time will tell.

Final Fantasy Tactics - In my opinion, the original PSX is basically a perfect game. I'm eating well as the new remaster just came out so I have dropped about 50 hours into it
Total War: Warhammer 3 - It is just my fall back for years at this point. I just checked and I have 1155 hours in it to date. I don't know why, there are just so many different options, I love turn based games in general, but then you also get RTS style combat. It just always scratches the right itch.

The city I used to live in would automatically have longer left turn advance green lights during rush hour and change to unlimited green lights past 11pm I believe. Basically, the light would stay green until someone pulled up at the cross street and stayed there. You would see the walk sign start counting down and eventually the lights would change. However, if the person turned right then the countdown would stop and the walk sign would go back to saying okay to walk.
It must be expensive, because my new city has replaced lights and not put the same thing in.

Let me introduce you to the Big Apple in the thriving metropolis of Colborne, ON. Thankfully wikipedia still has a picture of the way it looked when I was young as some crazy person decided to draw a face on it. You can go to their website if you want to see what that looks like, but it's nightmare fuel.

I like it, it does a reliable job of blocking ads and I ignore all of the crypto nonsense. I guess since it works I'm too lazy to switch.

Wafik Link ParentMan this and getting hit randomly when you're charging an ATB attack drove me crazy.Enemies can sometimes just walk away while you're preparing to do a special move and you'll just whiff instead of tracking them.

I would definitely agree with that.
