Man, I was working a desktop support job when they first started to use magnets in the laptops for the closed lid mechanism. I was trying to set up a laptop and I for the life of me couldn’t get the screen to turn on.

After like an hour of trying to figure it out and a call to Dell support, I shifted the laptop and the screen turned on. Stupid laptop was so thin the magnet from the laptop under it was causing it to think it was closed.

Right, and for this election cycle Biden won’t be a candidate but Trump will. Trump is now an older candidate than Biden was when he was a candidate.

Yes but he backed out and it says oldest candidate.

Agreed. I enjoyed red faction guerrilla for the destruction but the open world always felt kind of empty. Armageddon was cool, but I wasn’t a fan of the linear gameplay.

A proper sequel would’ve made me so happy, but no, Embracer has to ruin everything it touches.

Per Wikipedia, yes. A game console is the general term. A home console is the one that plugs into a tv, and a handheld console is something like a switch.

Hey! You watch your mouth! We’ve developed lots of things including how to efficiently go bankrupt from a medical emergency!

Having freedom means the freedom to not afford living, too.

I think there were multiple mod teams working on their own ideas for half life 3 but I’ve given up looking up their progress.

Yep, a long while ago.

Valve has been pretty chill about letting people make fan games based on their IP as long as they ask Papa Gaben first.

As far as I know, more or less yes

The problem is with DRM owning a physical copy of a recent game doesn’t mean squat. It also wasn’t a gap for older generations since CDs were a terrible medium to store and verify games since they scratch easy.

The fight will always be you want to own the thing you buy, and companies will want to stop people who didn’t buy it from using it. This fight has been going on since the original DOOM was freely passed around.

I still wanted to try it out and see if it’s just stupid fun or just plain garbage. Now I can find out for myself without spending hard earned money that I can spend on other disappointing things instead!
