I haven’t played it yet. But I do own it on gog.
Every few years I get stuck into Shadowrun on sega mega drive. It’s an open world cyberpunk rpg. You can choose to start as samurai, decker or shaman. You can follow the plot or just do whatever. You can choose to just spend all your time in the matrix. You can go to different “Johnsons” and do any number of randomly generated runs against various corporations.
But in the end your only real choice that affects the gameplay ends up whether you use magic or guns. Even if you take a shaman, you can hire a runner to join you so you can still sit in the matrix all day. The story doesn’t care which class you picked. It always turns out the same.
But it remains one of my favourite and most played games of all time.
Do you think Cyberpunk could give me that in a modern game?
I have been playing Shadowrun on my Sega. Always good to get this one out again.
Or have the physical media, but no optical drive
Probably kiss. My first kiss was perfect and it feels like I’ve never felt a kiss like that again.
Yes. That’s what I am doing. I just told you I haven’t bought disposables in years.
That’s what I heard, but it’s a 2 hour trip for me to get to IKEA.
I have. But that isn’t what you said. You said parents aren’t using rechargeable batteries in their kids toys. And I am. I haven’t bought a disposable battery in years.
I think you’re an abrasive person. That’s all.
Maybe the US does, but I don’t live there.
The existing dishwasher is built into the cabinetry. As I’m neither plumber nor cabinetmaker, I’m not going to do this on my own.
The house we bought a few years ago had a dishwasher. It doesn’t work.
We’d like to replace it but we asked the shop guys if they can help with that they told us they don’t have any local contacts who do dishwasher installs.
We’ve never used one before, but with two little kids it feels like hand washing is getting a bit much sometimes.
I was disappointed too. I have a handful of eneloops I use with my Steam Controllers, that last me a few months each charge.
For my partners Switch, we have 3 wireless controllers with rechargeable AAs as well. Meanwhile the Switch Pro Controller is dead as shit.
I get it, people want blocks of lithium around their house. But if you’re used to how good eneloops are this is a huge disappointment.
I absolutely am doing that. I don’t think it’s dumb.
When we got our first computer it was a Win 95 machine, with a copy of Encarta, Atlas. I don’t remember what word processor, but it wasn’t a full office suite.
It was cool. We did lots of typing and using ms paint.
Then we got a shareware cd. Hundreds of pretty useless games + 4 or 5 big ones like doom and transport tycoon, but it changed everything. Every day we’d try a new one. We’d mess around in DOS trying to get those ones working.
Then 3D Movie Maker - the full version. It all really started to come alive.
Then a microphone. Just messing around with sound recorder was like when we used to make “funny” tape recordings of ourselves, but without the hassle of tape.
These are the basic concepts of what I think made computers fun.
I guess the direction I’ll probably go shortly is the old AMD 2400g mini itx I have laying around. Put on an opensuse slowroll. We have a microphone handy. We have 900 games on our GOG account. I have an old intuos drawing tablet that might work. Add some of those education flatpaks - solariums and stuff. I think you can definitely do a modern version of what we had back in the 90s when computing was more than watching youtube.
No they weren’t. Infectious diseases resulted in life expectancies 40-50 years lower than now. Dying at 35 years old is not “perfectly fine”.
Black lung isn’t from smoking, it’s an occupational illness related to coal mining.
This (Disks) is exactly what I’d suggest for a newbie too. Just noting it’s not gparted, it’s gnome-disk-utility.
Also did this with the first Monster Truck Madness and Big Red Racing. And Motocross Madness. Seems these games were just built for that. Only had demo versions though, so just the one stage to explore.
The movies depict actual AI. That is, machines/software that is sentient and can think and act for itself.
The future is going to be more of the shit we have now- LLMs / “guessing software”.
But also, why ask the question if you think the answer can’t be given yet?
I have to hear about how we wouldn’t have modern rock music if it wasn’t for The Beatles.
