Mozilla’s not going to undermine the thing that’s going to drive the largest adoption of Firefox in years.

I was expecting something a little deeper or more subtle than what I got.

That’s the problem when these things gain reputations. The reputation builds it up to be more than the piece of art can deliver.

Now imagine playing it when it was new and you weren’t “expecting” anything but a military shooter. It would still be just as blunt, but it landed back then far more effectively than when you go in knowing the reputation the game has built in the many years that followed.

“Women are too emotional to vote, they should only have firearms instead” is parody material.

Chargers’ cap is deep in the red for 2024, and they’re going to have to make some moves to get their head above water. They’re too top-heavy right now. Might need a clean-up year before they really hit their stride.

You’re correct, the other commenter missed the “2 computers” part of your comment.

You can run multiple Steam games at the same time on the same PC, but not on different PCs.

That is, unless you take advantage of Steam’s “offline” mode. If you launch Steam in offline mode on the secondary computer, you’ll be able to play already-downloaded Steam games on that PC, while still being free to play Steam games normally on the primary computer.

But this isn’t the formula for all games. While we might agree that games from 2000 or even 2010 are “showing their age”, at this point 5 to 8-year-old games are less and less likely to be seen as ‘too old’ by comparison to hot releases.

As someone that grew up in the '80s and '90s, it’s wild how much different the pace of change in games was then compared to now.

In 1991 I was playing NES games and 256-color VGA MS-DOS games, in 1998 I was playing Half-Life. Every single thing about the experience of video games changed in that span.

In 2017 I was playing Breath of the Wild, in 2024 I’m playing more or less the same game in Tears of the Kingdom.
