Yes the feeling of being alone in a whole solar system was / is awesome. And launching into space for the first time.

The original release of No Man’s Sky, and Starfield.

I myself don’t see them as bad games, but acknowledge the false promises, shortcomings, bugs, etc.

This and the difference between decades of experience and experience that’s decades old.

Sometimes a person that’s 30 years in a field or profession just managed to avoid getting fired for 30 years.

Add “, yet” to the headline and come back in a year or two.

Currently AI may fail to produce a video game, but so was the case for images, videos, and texts only a few years ago.

Failure is a good thing because it’s preceded by attempt.

No mention of Enpass? Stores more than just passwords, can be synced locally over wifi or in the cloud without using Enpass servers.

Same time plus minus one for me. Not only did nobody have a reason to call me (at school). Literally nobody else had a mobile phone.

I got myself a magnetic wireless charger for the nightstand. It’s great.

Apple started out with desktop computers. So by ‘staying in their lane’, they’d never made ipods, iphones, Apple silicon, earpods and airpods, the watch, etc. I think they had quite the success by diversing themselves.

litter also means trash. you wouldn‘t want to be called rubbish.

Loading screens for nearly every door. In New Atlantis you can jump from the highest building and glide with your jetpack back to your ship. But taking the elevator and the train gets you two unnecessary loading screens. That’s just not 2023 game programming.

It depends. I’ve put over 200 hours into Starfield and didn’t experience any dull or boring parts. But I noticed them.

It’s an old-school game with decades old mechanics, which happened to push all the right buttons with me. But others find it’s boring.

Star Wars: Outlaws. Looks really promising.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. I played through the base game twice, so I’ll need a bit more distance between the playthroughs.

Starfield, but only if there are significant updates, upgrades and expansions. I finished it twice back to back, so currently I’m a little tired of the game.

Any other single-player (action) RPG, that I stumble upon.

Thank you for explaining. That’s a thing most sites leave out: tell people how the keys cannot be stolen while still working on a different device.

Well at least that one came with an explicit warning: Part One.

The latest Jurassic World film comes to my mind.

The script felt like they had a 1993 video game that had to be turned into a movie. There’s not a single authentic character or memorable scene in it. All the actors are terrible, even Sam Neill. The score is as forgettable as the special effects. What else did I forget?

“Candle in the eye!”

Great film, honestly

The advantage - from my very incomplete understanding - is that your passkeys cannot be phished or stolen from you. So only you from your device can log-in to the site. Which leaves me with the question, how cross-device passkeys work.

So why keep this useless, failed platform in the news? Stop giving Musk publicity of any kind.

I like chromatic abberation too. And film grain, vignettes, scan-lines, dirty/wet camera effect, lens flares. The lot.

Not all at the same time and not on max settings. But when having a helmet equipped or using something like a Scanner or spectacles in a game, why not? If it suits the purpose and / or the aesthetic, I’m fine with it.

Personally I draw the line at motion blur, which simply makes me sick.

Who would buy stuff from a person they never heard of? How did they get popular?
