I wonder if it would be possible to fix Deadly Premonition's buggy pc port. I've played a few hours, then it started to always crash after opening it, I tested everything I could think of and never got it running again.

I am not a Spanish speaker, but Portuguese is usually similar. In it we say "último" for last, and "mais recente" for latest, so while there isn't a single word translating, we still have its equivalent. I imagine it's the same for Spanish.

Yeah, but games get bigger and more frequent discounts on pc, besides the base game price for a lot of games sometimes decreased after some years.

I have a PC and PS5, and bought game for PS5 just because they were on disk, despite that they would've ran and look much better on my pc.

Sony is releasing like 2 single-player games a year, I might get a PS6, but I'll be in not rush with so little offering, anything else I'll get on PC.

I wonder how many units the 15% represents, and what the percentage would be compared to number of sales in 2010.

Yeah, the percentage has got smaller, but the industry also got much bigger.

This is really nice, some even come with a manual that looks like the original.

I use "Noted" as inside joke with a friend, we use messenger and the default emoji of the theme we use is a pencil, sometimes he sends me it by accident and one day I started replying "noted" when this happens, now he also does this.

In Brazil people used to say "Ruindows", which is a play with the portuguese word for bad.

IMHO, if you want to play Half-Life today, you can also just play the original, I've played it recently and still an amazing game, and several aspects I like it more than Half-life 2. Some might not like the graphics for being dated, but after a while you get used to it.

I actually liked some of the addictions to notepad, like tabs, reopen files, keeping unsaved files, and the unsaved changes indicator in the tab.

But I think formatting, grammar and ai are going too far for notepad, if I want to do something that need those I would use Word.

The TV show is in the same continuity as the games, same world different medium.

I don't know if it's the same Ken Johnson, but I found a video about AppSec with a Ken Johnson that had his twitter profile in the description https://x.com/cktricky. Then I found this Ken Johnson LinkedIn page, and there's no mention of working at Microsoft, so it's probably not the same guy, and this other Ken Johnson looks much younger than I was expecting.

> 1. World of Warcraft in 2004 is very different from World of Warcraft in 2024. Do future versions "destroy" previous ones? How do you deal with this?

I think it's more about the right of the consumer to be able to play what they paid for than keep the original version intact.

> mind flayer, illithid

If I understand correctly, they only own copyrights for the lore, not the names and appearance. Also product identity so they can't be used by other tabletops, but other media can use them. For example, the game Demon's Souls have Mind Flayers, they are called Mind Flayers and look the part. I doubt From Soft and/or Sony are paying royalties for such minor enemy.

I think this case is different from the Beholder which seemingly they own complete rights since they made Tibia change their Beholder to something distinct.

The games embark has released are made in Unreal Engine, maybe the game using rust hasn't been released yet.

I use mostly to follow indie game devs, to follow their progress and not miss announcements of release dates, and also a few artists.
