And I am the skeleton in that crypt that turned to dust just now. (58 y.o.)

Is this even allowed? Some people will now walk to the toilet and never be seen again by their families. :D

Compare movie posters of women whose eyes or even whole heads you can't see or that are reduced to legs vs. movie posters of male actors to whom this is rarely done and it is clear what is happening.
Top this with the problems people of color face and that the new poster takes away her facial look, the look of a person of color and replaces everything that reminds of her with a bland face that could be anyone and I understand her anger.

She could have explained the issue instead of lashing out, because so many of her fans (and people in ths thread) don't understand the problem and education is necessary and more helpful for everyone.

We buy tech of the future that might or might not work/get government approval/make actual sense to build so we can't be blamed for ruining the climate with AI using up all the energy. That's the more earth bound version of: I don't care about climate change because we will live on Mars soon^(tm)^.

Definitely check out the soundtrack of this game. It is really good - weird but good.

What interests me more:

  • Will a mostly single player game again be online only?
  • Will there be elsusive targets or similar parts of the game, where I pay for something that I might not be able to access, because If I don't have time or want to play in a specific week I won't be able to access it?
  • Are you going to sell us the game in parts and over and over again until I end up like I do now on EPIC where I have no way of actually knowing what content I own and which I don't own and having to buy the elusive targets twice (once when they were timed and now that they are not anymore)?

IO Interactive makes good games, but they got away with a lot of shite every other developer would get crucified over. I am just waiting for the day Hitman gets unplyable because they shut off the servers.

No matter how good their next IP will be, if they go on with these practices, then I am not buying. It is unnecessary and anti consumer and there are more good games than I can play in a life time that allow offline play and where I don't need a spread sheet to find out what content I want/need.

Dies ist zu gruselig selbst für den Oktober.

It definitely is on MY 100 list forever, but other games on their list are definitely not on mine. Also a list that doesn't include Gothic 1 or 2 is inherently flawed. ;)

I understand that these lists create clicks, so it is probably worth the hassle for them to spent a lot of time compromising on it. It is also the list of 2024 - so it is not a final thing just a glimps into their current thoughts lasting 12 months until the next list, so recency bias is fine.

For what YOUR top 100 are I recommend checking out https://www.grouvee.com/ and sharing your thoughts and reviews and keeping your collections organized. It is free and the community is welcoming and well moderated.

My e-book reader (Tolino).

As I got older and had problems with my eyes, this was a game changer. I had basically stopped reading books and now I do it daily. I can choose the font and letter size, background color, and backlighting based on what works best for my eyes that day and the light where I am.

Being able to hold a very light device with a big screen when I would have to balance a heavy weight as a paper book is also great, and I take the reader with me everywhere, whereas a big book would stay at home most of the time.

The reader has a bigger screen than my phone and the battery lasts longer.

The reader works flawlessly with my library, so I don't have to buy books, which keeps costs down, and I don't have to leave the house to get a new book.

Calibre helps us share books in our family, which is one reason we've stayed away from Amazon's Kindle, so we've all gone to ".epub".

Cool, das Dachdeckery sollte mit so einer Lapalie von Verletzung natürlich zur Arbeit gehen - sich festhalten ist überbewertet und das Masseury nimmt halt statt der zweiten Hand die Zehen zum Massieren und gefährliche Chemikalien schaukelt man im Labor doch auch einhändig ganz gut vor sich her, richtig? Für das Elektrikery soll Einhändigkeit ja sogar das Arbeitsunfallsrisiko schmälern - wenigstens in Sketchen zur Arbeitssicherheit. Die 10 Kindergartenkinder die sich an deine verletzte Hand hängen weil sie nicht verstehen warum sie vorsichtig sein müssen sind auch kein Problem ...

Ist immer so toll wenn Leute mit einem Schreibtischjob den sie ganz toll auch mit einer Hand auf dem Rücken machen können nicht mal für eine Sekunde über den Tellerrand gucken können.
