Must have been poorly advertised this is the first I've heard of it.

I've put around 400 hours into that game. But I've only "completed" it once.

I came from divinity where you needed to play the game on tactician to experience all the content. Not sure if bg3 is the same way but I went in with that mindset.

Such a great game and so much to explore. Took me back to when I was a kid trying to 100% mass effect.

So many studios fail to breath life into their worlds and pump them full of tedious bs. (Looking at you starfield. What a let down that was...)

I can't say I've ever heard your use of the term open world before. As I've known it, it's always meant a game world where you can practically go anywhere with minimal to no barriers. Such as GTA3 and that bloody bridge.

If yet another game comes out where the core mechanic is climbing a tower to reveal the area, I might scream.

I have a colour laser brother that's been happily working for over 10 years. They are solid printers.

This reminds me of how my manager cringed when I made an official internal document that needed to be shared with clients using the shizuku version of crystal.

I give it a week before people work around it routinely.

Good, we need to stop supporting products that try to strong arm you into a perpetual subscription.

To fuck with computers that don't know how to do UTF8, add a few emoji.

I once set a WiFi ssid to 🌻 and I was amazed at how much problems that likely caused. I had people showing me their network manager was dumping random characters. Some other routers web interfaces became corrupted when trying to show the neighborhood. Some clients refused to connect. Even a bsod on a windows XP box.

That's bs, it's one of the best features Google has and they've been ruining it. Wayback machine wished it could be that comprehensive.

It's societal cancer, imagine an organism that allows a few cells to monopolize most of the nutrients. You'd cut it out to save the host, but this has metastasized. The immune system has been reprogrammed to defend the cancer.
