Hard to imagine that this fuckwit was Person of the Year after 9/11

Your computer already does all of this, It’s just that you are now able to access the data yourself

I heard the “pop” noise

True, but I would rather buy a dozen quality $0.99 games with high replay value (still fun 13+ years later) than several dozen “””free””” ad-filled games that constantly bug you for a $3.99/week subscription to get more BullshitCoins

No they didn’t. I have a 1st gen iPad loaded with old versions of popular games (e.g. Jetpack Joyride, Angry Birds) and there are literally zero ads and in-app purchases.

How does it know the difference between functional and tracking parameters? Would it handle something like ‘?page=1&order=desc&some_bullshit_marketing_param=kdnsskwjrjeisn’

Half-Life was a game changer when it came out.

First-person shooters in those days were basically just spawning in a level, shooting generic bad guys and picking up loot. Half-Life had this insane story and they didn’t use any cutscenes or take away control from the player except to load the map, the whole story was told through the environment you explored and the characters you interacted with.

Even 20 years later, people are still having discussions about who the G-Man works for, or whether Dr. Breen (HL2) was a good guy.

We might work at the same company lmao. My laptop is borderline unusable due to all the monitoring garbage despite having really fast hardware
