    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yeah it was BMW and it was the heating seat or some silly stuff. Isn't this practice rampant in the graphic card industry, where they just disable cores for lower tier gfx ? "Your airbag didn't deploy because you haven't subscribed to our Care & Safety Package, only 89$ per month!" fuck this...

    Playing this while I wait for my Factorio's trains. It's pretty refreshing, relaxing and I dig the old 8-bit mixed with more modern graphism. got my 20$ of fun already, but I can't wait to dive again.

    They will make rollback possible, but for 10$ ! out of 3 years of wow classic I was disconnected once and that was probably on my side.

    In one of the Swiss nuclear power plant, they drilled holes on the inner steel containment vessel (who is supposed to hold the pressure and the radioactivity in case of problem) to install hand held fire extinguisher (very usefull in case of meltdown). Took them 8 years to notice. Did you know...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    Went to watch this last night, I liked the darker tone, especially after the kids' comedy that was Thor L&T. This movie has extreme contrasts between the corny dance at the end and the animal stuff, which is good in my book. Lots of Toy Story vibes and biblical analogies also. I personally...

    All the failures from the NASA were meticulously hidden so the URSS couldn't use it as a propaganda tool, but now we have lots of videos of their test. Wasn't it Aldrin that almost died during one of these tests ?

    I'll spin the question, why would toilets be free since it's a service. On a more serious note, it's not free most likely to keep meth heads, hookers and druggies out.

    God yes I loved reading these magazines while we were on holidays or such. Also, some of them had CD full of cool stuff (and a lot of broken stuff). Duke Nukem 3D first level, then 2 months later we had duke nukem 3d first act, that was awesome. I also remember spending time in a cybercafe (lol...

    So my 2 cp: - on my computer, the graphics are on the exact same level as PoE - Animation is top notch and the monsters' inertia when you kill them is great. - Stats and loots are straight out of an excel sheet and that sucks. I play for fun loot, not "add 0.92% of defense when you right click...

    I've played a few timesink games, but BG1 was something else. It would bend the fabric of time and when I started playing around 10pm, after a few minutes the sun would rise and I would hear birds outside. I hope I'll be as cool with this as my parents were with me when I played up to 7am...

    Just did Gundrak with 3.2k GS heal, 3.8k GS tank (no naxx stuff) and a few 3.2-3.5k GS team. We failed Eck more because I forgot he reset agro between his jumps. Otherwise it was quite easy. We moved the mobs constantly to avoid the lifetap, and it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.
