Sadly I don't think anyone's made use of EKG headsets for gaming since that

i've lost my bootcamp windows password and i'm prepared to wipe the partition and start again but does anyone know if the default setup of steam disco elysium syncs saves anywhere cloud-ish?

that and my dungeonmans academy are the only things worth saving....

If anyone ever played Hawken several years ago, there's a community-led revival of the game with community servers coming out. Multiplayer isn't ready yet, but you can play the training and bot portions, and they give you enough credits to buy all the stuff without having to grind the game.

I saw it in my steam library recently and replayed it again on a lark and yeah it's not that great. Shorter than I remembered, too.

shit wizard dad

Finished the main story in CONTROL, that was a good game (even though I had to jump off a ledge and die / redo the last fight as a level trigger didn't load) and also the rematch with Dr. Tomasii was an absolute bitch until I figured a cheese for it. Also did a few side missions in the AWE add-on and got a unique mod for my 2-shot Pierce railgun that gives it instant charge instead of a second before you can shoot, it's a game changer and I'm blasting fools with it a lot now.

someone described it as waiting 15 hours for 45 minutes of exciting play and thats not wrong. even then the big fleet actions i was in were almost meaningless since i was flying a modest ship

tomasii was a real b of a battle. as far as a boss fight that might as well be the real end boss for the base game

the last fight for foundation was a tough but fun one, though. the camera altered object is fun too

so i knew the guy who sorta headed up the movement to get excel onto a webapp. this was 1999, and then after the ballmer transition ballmer went and lit a fire under his rear end personally

the method in which they hosed it up despite starting all the way back then was wanting feature for feature parity, also activex poo poo and com poo poo iirc

this has nothing to do w the backend lang but it amuses me terribly. dude worked on skype right after the acquisition and also sharepoint so hes responsible for a lotta human misery

Eve online is really only fun when you understand exactly what is happening and it takes ages to get to that stage.

Flying in giant goonswarm fleets if loving boring if you don't get the significance of what you're doing (and sometimes there isn't any, lol at station camping and watching pubbies whinge).

But when it's good, it's unlike anything else. Commanding a fleet, fighting on a wormhole, coordinating bumps, coordinating logi, coordinating jumps, watching the enemy ships very slowly whittle away while your own squadmates desperately try everything to stay alive, knowing every call you make is the difference between victory and defeat, it's an absolute rush.

except for eve the golden mean is none, none at all. it's like loving corpses*: the right amount is zero
