Massiah Syndrome: looking for a way to die for others' benefit. Mrs. Pifanjr Syndrome: looking for a way to die in order to kill others.

They are great vs. other platforms. GOG's features aren't even close to what Steam has. Epic doesn't think they need any. Steam is NOT great vs. what they could be. These very forums were far better than Steam's when they first showed up! Why? It takes me about 5 seconds normally. It...

.RAR files, I would assume. They compress better than .ZIP. But 7zip compresses better than ZIP and better than RAR. Maybe RAR still does better for certain types of files? Or maybe it's just companies/organizations that established their standards in the short time between RAR and 7zip...

Come get some! View: https://youtu.be/70mZq8bUStw?si=jHbdG-XU7cSSEylv (Not safe for work, because: DUKE NUKEM)

Yeah, it's looking like XBOX is leaving the field. DirectX will be the only thing left of Microsoft's old X-fetish. Does anyone use WinRAR in the age of 7zip...

I'm pretty sure you don't have to do them all! The towns do get repetitive, but the bases provide a lot of unique challenges.

COVID and flu at the same time? Yow. The COVID shot doesn't knock me on my butt (given my lifestyle, I'm not sure I would even notice that), it flattens me for a day. No way am I taking that along with a flu shot!

Brandon Sanderson's "Cosmere" books have been picked up by Apple TV. Sanderson is retaining a lot of rights in the deal. Apparently, the plan is for a Mistborn movie and a TV show to cover Stormlight Archive. Both will be challenging. Mistborn's novels take place on a world covered in ash...

It kept my records from my first play-through, and the 'total chaos' meter kept going up, too. I'm happy whenever I beat one of my own records! I've already backed into a mountain twice in helicopters. Something starts shooting, I back up, something keeps shooting, I keep backing up as I look...

Fine. Give me a pair of ice skates then. Turns are no problem. Unless I fall. Which I won't.

In the winter, can we sled down it? Pleeeeeeease?

Surpicco is still a pain in the tailpipe in JC3. You're supposed to "wreak havoc" in police stations to take the town, but that town has a small station. You can level the place, and it still won't be enough! I had to look up how to finish it when I played years ago and I had to look it up...

Oh! 5 stars, even though SOMEBODY called the cops on you! I got the nitro boost but haven't used it yet.

That's a really good one. Maybe my Sword of the Stars review will tempt you another way. (Though that's even more combat!)

Dang Just Cause got me hooked, so I ended up playing it a lot yesterday. The body wing thing is always ending with an epic faceplant. I think I'm supposed to pull my parachute at the end but.... nah. Rico can take it. The game crashed a couple of times, too. Harrumph. Oh, and you can use...
