We exclusively use Windows on our user’s devices (over 10k devices!) and don’t have to support anything else. We end up with problems like those all the time.

• occasionally all installations become blocked no matter what means or which user, requiring reimaging to resolve.
• DisplayPort connections mysteriously failing and requiring reboots of the device and sometimes also the dock or monitor. Sometimes we even have to swap the cable out, even though the cable will continue to work in another setup just fine.
• using a different brand of dock than the ones we have at our hotelling stations and disconnecting for any length of time causes wifi to fail until reboot
• wifi at the office mysteriously stops working as you move around the building, requiring restart

None of our Linux test devices experience any of this.

Given the nature of their matchmaking approach, this is probably the best option.

Would be easier if we could choose our lobbies out of a list…

Not sure if you played the original version but the remaster adds new attacks to some enemies and changes some of their behaviours. It also seems to have changed some enemy spawns, I think. It made the game feel fresh in a way I wasn’t expecting for something I probably played through a few dozen times lol.

Mankind Divided has some too close to home moments but the first game? That shit was almost like a playbook of the next two decades, it’s actually nuts.

You probably would have liked Guild Wars 1 as well. You get to max level (level 20) well before you finish the content, and the rest of your advancement is farming mats for high level equipment and stealing elite attacks from enemies to unlock them for yourself.

ADL report

Opinion discarded. Those ADL fucks lie about damn near everything.

Oh that is uncanny, I was just thinking about this game today. Really a surprisingly unique car combat game, I still haven’t played anything like it.

I mean at that point just call it Bleed lol

Paper without some sort of code to hide what’s happening isn’t much better, considering if something ever happens you could get searched.

It’s more better lol

Seriously though it’s really well thought out actually. Each planet has unique challenges you will have to deal with and it’s clear they put a lot of effort into designing these challenges and their solutions. Each planet grants new features that give you options you wouldn’t otherwise have to help solve other problems. Lots of quality of life changes and an ever-improving user experience.

It won’t win over people who didn’t like Factorio but fans of the game will get more of what they love.

You would think that the kind of person who loves Factorio knows the rule: never book launch day off.

At least now we have options like Pikapods where you can just throw a containerized server up cheap. Even people who might be overwhelmed by a VM can do that.

Man what a trip, felt like I was hopping around the old web again.

Same. I always wondered how ideas like giving what you can, loving thy neighbour, and forgiveness to the extreme somehow results in Supply Side Jesus, “Protestant work ethic”, jail time for addictions, “law and order” politics, etc…

These people have strayed so far from the teachings and I’m not sure how they can claim to follow them and then blame homeless people for being homeless.

The vombats even poop cubes man.

Honestly anti-cheat is dead going forward because much of the new cheats being developed exist hardware powered by machine learning. Competitive multiplayer is already just a shambling corpse, but somehow people haven’t caught on yet.

They also offer the Steam multiplayer backend, workshop, and Steam’s social system which is becoming enticing again given Discord’s latest behaviour.

GOG’s gimmick is no DRM, Itch.io has the cheapest self-publishing costs, and Epic has… well I’m not sure really, but the other two have their place, but it’s no coincidence Steam is the biggest.

I think you might like Superliminal or Hardspace Shipbreaker.

I’m less sure about the following but still wanted to suggest them:

• Dinkum (it’s like Animal Crossing but in Australia)
• Astroneer (pretty chill exploration and mining game)
• Roots of Pacha (a more story-focused Harvest Moon like game)

I repair computers on the side and this exact issue happens so frequently I know some of the error codes that I dont bother trying to fix now. The sheer amount of Windows reinstalls I have to do… honestly its often faster than trying to fix the problem.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for correctly using the term and calling out the degenerates who self-insert as little girls everywhere.
