I’ve missed this thread for a few weeks already (as in, I didn’t see it). Completed Disco Elysium twice since then, amazing game! Very sad that there’s not going to be a sequel; the world is fascinating, as is the style of gameplay.

Really love this community, so one-dimensional and not willing to accept alternate views, and can’t wait to twist words in people’s mouth to make themselves feel better intellectually superior.

Good luck in growing this community.

One man’s bloatware is another man’s feature.

So so so many. Right off the top of my head:

• Guild Wars Season 2, one of the later missions. It was stealth gameplay. I hate stealth. Paid someone 100g to run it for me.
• FTL’s boss.
• Warframe’s Glassmaker season fight with Nihil.
• Currently, Ace Combat 7’s Pipeline Destruction.

That’s just missing data, I don’t have that issue at all.

Yea, like, basically the complaints boil down to, why am I not being handheld throughout the process more?

For me I just need the general direction and what bus/train line direction to take.

Feels like people in general are getting worse at basic spatial awareness.

Well, it’s going to be worse now, with HyperOS devices not getting updates if they unlock their bootloader. I think they’re going to implement some more limits too, like time or device limits. It’s throughly depressing overall.

That ship has sailed a long time ago. Even Xiaomi is moving away from that.

Have you tried installing a copy of Windows in Dosbox, then install the game from there? I remember doing something like that to play the original SimTower.

Very likely the game is 16 bit mode, which is why nothing in Windows 10’s compatibility mode is working, as it doesn’t support 16 bit programs.

Nevermind that, an approach like what Sharp and the old PDAs did with transflective displays would be pretty neat too. But I suspect what’ll happen is that they’ll be called out for not providing “rich colours and deep blacks”.

Is that what happened? Because it works absolute shite with Bluetooth keyboards too.

They did announce an 11" tablet, no idea if it’s launched.

It’s basically a LCD with a special matte coating, is that it?

How bad is the scalping? I’m in Singapore and the price premium is about 10%.

The higher price isn’t permanent.

I’ve worked in camera retail and the local shops do just that, actually, and it’s effective. The FOMO people get their stuff first at a higher price, the shop gets a boost in margins, and everyone else gets to enjoy cheaper prices three months later (and have the early adopters sit through the bugs and first-run issues).

Definitely a good RTS, feels like it peaked with the first Company of Heroes.

Hybrid MMO/ARPG?

UK has similar iPhone adoption rates I last looked, and I’m quite sure my UK friends don’t use iMessage either!

So how do you participate in the work chat with just SMS? Lots of informal collaborations in both my last role and current role needed and needs WhatsApp, with both internal and external stakeholders. I literally cannot do my jobs without WhatsApp.

Delivery services will contact you on WhatsApp as proof that the delivery was made, disputes are much harder to solve without it.

Many businesses use WhatsApp as part of their chat support (luckily, not the banks, small wins at least). Talk to a person on the phone? Good luck.

These are just the examples off the top of my head; I feel like so many here are naive on what it’s like to live in a modern, digital society.
