Our patron saint is from Turkey(ish), what's your point? We can steal culture as well as marbles you know.

I mean. Any requirement is fake given they have set arbitrary limits. But right now no TPM is enough to stop the upgrade, and that's a useful as I need it to be. I have a couple win 11 boxes, but the 10 is still more reliable for gaming, vr, and not shoving ads down my throat. It can stay on 10 until it's moved to Linux.

They can. But I turned off TPM so they won't. Top tip for lazy arses like me that don't want to engage in a protracted battle, just make your laptop not meet requirements.

What mystifies me is usually when they do this sort of thing they throw it on Plus and get a mountain of players. Fall guys, and Destruction All Stars spring to mind as examples. I guess the effect isn't so strong with the new tiered system, but it may have saved them some face.

Nah. It's like frozen onions being cheaper than fresh. They are just orders of magnitude cheaper to ship and store and still be in a useful state. If you get artisanal fresh, never frozen bones they are a lot more expensive.

So. Years back. When they did that ad where parents sent a kid emails to their own Gmail and then gave them the account details when they were grown up... Everyone who ever did that are gonna lose all their work if they don't think to log in periodically. Nice.

Was an actual question - it wasn't exactly universally hailed as a success, so I wasn't sure if we were pretending it didn't exist. I found it to be fine though. And last I poked around mod support seemed likely, but I got distracted by other releases so it's not as 'grabby' as MoM was. I think the increased fidelity came at the cost of speed. But maybe that's just because I can't rely on muscle memory to bang through turns now.

Uh. Are you kidding? The remaster released like 6 months back.

There was a game for Amiga and ST called Eco. It was a great concept and a terrible game really, too slow, too random, and eventually too easy when you knew the pattern. But it was a great concept, and something like it but with smaller genetic steps/algorithm generated body forms. Think an entire game based around the creature phase of Spore. Or, spore as it was originally marketed I guess! There's a couple of indies working on similar concepts at the moment, but nothing has quite 'clicked' for me yet.

Corvids.

It would not be a good use for Blockchain technology. Besides the problem that your dollars are a fungible asset that don't have a physical object associated with it, as soon as you dollars get converted to another state, account, entity, whatever along with another thousands people's dollars you would lose the tracking. And ultimately even if you could achieve this it would then either all fall to one or two accounts so you would have the disheartening effect of seeing your entire annual contribution spent on something tedious like fuelling an aircraft carrier, or they would attempt to distribute it evenly in which case why not save all the effort and just track the average spend budgets? It's a solution looking for a problem here.

Man my poor pc got absolutely hammered by the giant dirt bombs and the deaths head / mirv
