I think you’re hitting the nail on the head. A lot of publishers are blatantly misusing EA to put out an unfinished piece of software to socialize the testing, and hope for a more understanding playerbase because of the EA status. Not only is it manipulative, it also skews reception like it does here. Personally, I categorically skip all EA because I only buy finished products. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be interested in a good tribes game.

Can anyone tell me if it’s worth playing now, if you never played those games when they came out and don’t feel nostalgia while playing them?

And now we know why the original was delisted on steam. Don’t buy into this crap. Buy the original on gog for 1,50€

I think that take is short sighted. Because the next obvious step to “no right to online anonymity” is “online anonymity is illegal”, and it’s pretty obvious we’re headed that way. In that case, courts can make it pretty fucking hard to protect your right to privacy.

I played through the invincible. Great story, visuals and voice acting. I am however reminded, that walking simulators aren’t really games. The whole thing should have been a mini series.

That’s really surprising to read. The game has been been described a solidly mid by every review outlet. Does portability really offset the repetitiveness by that much?

My guess is that people disagree with propagating the delusion that pasting that link in every comment helps with stopping AI from feeding on your input.

I would still recommend turning wifi off when leaving home for privacy reasons (which can easily be automated). The process to identify if a network is trusted or not requires a handshake. So leaving wifi on makes you trackable by the wifi network operators and the apps on your phone with access to your wifi, wether you connect a network or not.

I get the feeling you’re just being contrarian on purpose now. Most, if not all games released on win 7 will still run on win 7 now, and will continue doing so forever, period. That’s exactly why OP is asking for cool games from that era.

Actually the opposite is true. I don’t know of a single game where the devs patched out something so it stops working on the OS it released on.

Well, games used to and still run on MS DOS, so Win 7 really isn’t an issue.

Have you really never heard of GOG? It’s an awesome platform. They allow you to actually buy games so you can 100% own them drm free. No Steam or whatever other game launcher is needed. Also they specialize in older games, so it’s perfect for this use case.

r/atheism is leaking… This conflict has as much to do with religion as the apartheid in south africa had. This is just pure unadulterated racism, period. The best way to heal that imo, is literally fuck each other until there are only brown people left in the world.

Read the article. France is the one trying to find a solution. Germany is to blame.

I tried switching from Fennec to Mull a couple years ago, but every third site broke with it. So I reinstalled Fennec.

Germany is so incredibly scared to be associated with antisemitism since WW2, they’re willing to obfuscate and support the genocide of an entire nation. This is beyond despicable.

I think tmdb should have you covered

Be aware that kwallet will require you to enter your password if you auto-login. Kwallet usually saves your passwords for wifi etc. That’s why auto-login with KDE doesn’t make much of a difference in most use cases

It’s probably gone. But maybe you could have some luck looking for it in your BIOS like others suggested.

I haven’t used windows in quite a while, but while I did, on laptops sold with windows there was a recovery partition on them you could reinstall windows from. If you removed that partition you had no legal way of reinstalling, because no key was made available to you at any point.
