For me, it wasn't just the story, but also just randomly going out and exploring, checking things out, and finding cool (and sometimes scary) things.

It's one of those games that I'm hoping in like 10 years or something I'll have forgotten enough of it that if I go play it again it'll be mostly all new again.

We actually moved from JIRA to Azure DevOps. Part of it was that Atlassian dropped the server version of JIRA and we weren't too keen on moving to the crappier cloud version.

I'd say it's different. Some things JIRA does better, some things Azure DevOps does better. You eliminate some pain points, and end up with some new ones.

Well, so much for that.

DuckDuckGo is not Bing, though they get most of their results from Bing so they end up pretty similar.

And yes, I would say it's better. Not that Bing is particularly good and their search results have also taken a nosedive. But they are still way better than the garbage results I get out of Google.

I've never been a fan of dual booting myself. The computer just ends up spending all of its time in one OS or the other. Plus Microsoft doesn't seem to like to play nice with your bootloader.

I just started using Linux on secondary computers. Once I had gotten things down so the experience was smooth on those machines, moving the main desktop from Windows to Linux was pretty seamless.

It's not the nitrogen that kills you, it's the lack of oxygen.

This method of suffocating someone would work just as well with a gas like helium or argon. It's just that nitrogen is cheap and plentiful for reasons even someone as dimwitted as you can probably figure out.

How about how Garland sat on all the stuff outlined in the Mueller report and just let the statute of limitations expire while doing nothing? It's pretty clear he intended to do the same with this stuff too, at least at first.

That's one of the reasons I lost interest as a kid, as I really didn't know what to do and you could totally wander into an area you just weren't ready for yet. For that reason, I liked FF2 (FF4 everywhere else) as that one pretty much guided you along on rails.

I was thinking about that game as I was scrolling this thread. That's one I should revisit myself. I played that game a lot when I was younger, but managed to never complete it as I always lost interest sometime during the World of Ruin.

In 1993, computers were just starting to get CD-ROM drives and CD-Rs were pretty exotic technology. Being able to burn CD's really didn't really go mainstream until the very late 90's.

That's actually just what I did. New PC runs Manjaro Linux. So far all the games I've thrown at it work just fine.

Maybe I should have done that with the old PC, but I'm lazy and Windows 7 was working well enough.

Not anymore since it no longer works.

I was still using Steam on Windows 7 as late as last month. Losing access to Steam was one motivation to finally upgrade my computer.
