There’s that new clippy thing that lets you record an arbitrary region of the screen. That and HDR stuff. Everything else in Windows 11 is on par or a regression over previous functionality. It’s the New Coke of Windows operating systems. 😆

A tie between HISHE and The Warp Zone.

I’ve heard people talking about the switch but I’ve not seen it yet on git for Windows. I’d upgrade but I need to set up a new remote box anyway (to replace my on-prem Bitbucket) and I don’t need any hassles between now and whenever I get a chance to do that.

Mel Brooks and David Attenborough seem like safe bets.

Thanks to the modding community we were able to play Mass Effect as if it were running on console many years before the Legendary Edition was available.

These days, for me the absolute minimum is full controller support due to the wife acceptance factor. She loved Dragon Age Inquisition so we tried to play Origins a couple years ago, and even though I’d cloned the displays, me sitting behind her at my computer instead of next to her on the couch was a deal breaker.

There are other plusses in terms of WAF, full voice narration and a good story being chief among them. There’s a reason the only soulslike I’ve ever really played is Fallen Order. 😆

For me playing alone (which I almost never do anymore), one example I can think of is trying to go back to Dark Age of Camelot after playing WoW for a while. That was…painful.

Not a religion fan or a country music fan, but just thinking about Martina McBride singing O Holy Night makes me tear up a little.

Edit: erroneously said Trisha Yearwood when I meant Martina McBride

Like others here I really enjoyed the early Trek computer games. I played several versions on the TRS-80 Model I. They were mostly turn based but one had real time elements. I actually got in trouble in college for using too much computer time in a Fortran class. I was porting one of those TRS-80 games to the VAX for fun, which honestly tells you how seriously I took college. What a twat.

I also fondly remember this officially licensed tabletop game where you could do 1v1 starship battles. It dropped around the time Search for Spock came out IIRC. I remember maneuvering was important. That was a blast. Wish I still had it.

I also really liked the starship battles in STO, but sadly that was about all I liked in that game.

Edit: fixed a word

You said it.

Oh yes.

Christine is so adorable. I want to keep her safe. Tbh the whole damn SNW crew is adorable.

I still have my Geek Code saved somewhere. Probably on a floppy disk. 😂

I just try to trust the game, though in the case of TotK I did have an “ugh not again” moment when I first landed at the surface level. Glad I stayed with it, though. We usually chip away on it for an hour or two each day, but when I’m not in the mood I just do something else. As long as you’re enjoying yourself, there’s no wrong way to game. ✌️
