Many years ago I quit caffeine for about 2 months. Withdrawals went away quickly, but I was missing my morning routine. When I finally went back, caffeine kicked my ass because I had zero tolerance to it, and I had to be really strict with my cutoff time for any caffeine for a long time. I still have to be careful ever since then. Used to be able to have coffee or soda at night and have zero effect. Luckily I've quit soda.

The most? Nah. Yes they're fairly friendly to modders, but there's been other cases of publishers going way out of their way to embrace a modder or mod group. I can think of one right now where a massive localization mod team actually had their work used as the basis of the official Western release of a game.

Ah, bummer. Well as long as it can run on Proton, I guess there's no loss for me anyhow. But always a bad sign when newer OSes fail to support older games.

Haven't played Fahrenheit in forever (not since it was Indigo Prophecy on the US Steam release), but never had issues. Is it having problems with more modern Windows versions now?

Eh it makes sense because it's a Singaporean publication, so it's relative to their readers. Confusing for most others.

That's S$1000 (Singapore dollars), to be clear, which is roughly $800 USD, as stated in the article.

And/or inheritance.

You're also forgetting maybe the biggest factor: library selection. We used to have a lot of choices, but not literal thousands of choices across all our platforms. If we only had our choice of a few hundred games, $80 might sound more reasonable.

Yeah this is a long-standing problem for me as well that grew out of necessity, originally. Previous organization I worked at went through some serious money problems due to negligence and I had many years of doing what I could with peanuts. Now that I'm with a place that has plenty of funding and staffing, I have a hard time delegating or asking for help, as well as asking for any paid products.

How appropriate, you fight like a cow.

Telpthic.

Lol sadly that's the original image too. They definitely overcompressed things early on.

Equity.

Yeah, definitely not Larian, they've always been pretty open to players and other devs alike. And if they really do end up moving on, I cannot wait to see what they do next. Maybe a new Divinity game that's as in-depth as BG3?

I've never heard that this started as a mod. Last I knew, even Witcher 1 was a licensed product even at the initial development. It's been a couple years since I watched the CDProjekt documentary though.

But also by being not stupid

I also would never recommend Arch to a Linux newbie. I've used it for a couple years too as my DD and am very comfortable with it, and not looking to switch off it. But suggesting it to someone new is just asking for trouble. If they even get through the initial install within their first attempt and have it bootable, that'd be surprising. It's very powerful and incredibly customizable, but that's irrelevant if you're just needing to learn the system.

Also Steam Deck being built on Arch is moot. You don't install Steam OS yourself, it comes preinstalled so people can jump right on.

Can confirm though that Bazzite is a great system for someone new who wants to game as their primary purpose on their PC. Can be tricky if the immutable system causes you to not be able to do other things though.

Knowing a timer is almost ready to go off.

I have this stupid sense to know that any timers I set (for cooking mostly, but other tasks around the house too) are very close to going off. Without watching the time when I set them with Alexa, if I ask how much time is left, it generally is always < 10 sec left. If it happened somewhat often, that'd be over thing, but this happens like 80% of the time.

I've even had 12h timers (slow cooking, etc) where I've checked once the entire time and it was within 10 to 30 sec remaining.

Nothing to do with my time management skills though, because I'm still late to all events. Whoops.
