Yes the feeling of being alone in a whole solar system was / is awesome. And launching into space for the first time.

The original release of No Man’s Sky, and Starfield.
I myself don’t see them as bad games, but acknowledge the false promises, shortcomings, bugs, etc.
This and the difference between decades of experience and experience that’s decades old.
Sometimes a person that’s 30 years in a field or profession just managed to avoid getting fired for 30 years.
Same time plus minus one for me. Not only did nobody have a reason to call me (at school). Literally nobody else had a mobile phone.
I got myself a magnetic wireless charger for the nightstand. It’s great.
Loading screens for nearly every door. In New Atlantis you can jump from the highest building and glide with your jetpack back to your ship. But taking the elevator and the train gets you two unnecessary loading screens. That’s just not 2023 game programming.
It depends. I’ve put over 200 hours into Starfield and didn’t experience any dull or boring parts. But I noticed them.
It’s an old-school game with decades old mechanics, which happened to push all the right buttons with me. But others find it’s boring.
Star Wars: Outlaws. Looks really promising.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. I played through the base game twice, so I’ll need a bit more distance between the playthroughs.
Starfield, but only if there are significant updates, upgrades and expansions. I finished it twice back to back, so currently I’m a little tired of the game.
Any other single-player (action) RPG, that I stumble upon.
Well at least that one came with an explicit warning: Part One.
The latest Jurassic World film comes to my mind.
The script felt like they had a 1993 video game that had to be turned into a movie. There’s not a single authentic character or memorable scene in it. All the actors are terrible, even Sam Neill. The score is as forgettable as the special effects. What else did I forget?
“Candle in the eye!”
Great film, honestly
Only if you define vegan as to strictly avoid any animal product (and define humans as animals). A somewhat looser Definition says to avoid animal exploitation.
So a product made by a non-domesticised animal in a natural way - e.g. Penguin guano - could be seen as vegan. The animal produces it anyway and the product isn’t won through keeping the animal captive and / or “stealing” from it.
After all I wouldn’t be too strict with definitions here.
Didn’t ask for them, won’t use them. WhatsApp is not Twitter, is not Insta, is not TikTok, is not [insert social media name].
Guesthouse Paradiso. It’s hilarious!
I don’t know what time in the past you compare the present to, but my current PC boots quicker into Windows, starts up Steam, and launches a 70 Gigabyte game than a 286 could count its two Megabytes of RAM on POST.
To “double-click an .exe file” one had to manually launch DOSShell or Windows, because else one would have to traverse into the game’s directory (by heart). But launching a game via Windows would often leave the machine with too few resources to run the game.
Did I mention the constant reboots to switch RAM and driver configurations because not every game would just run? The hassle to setup sound cards? Having to have the game disks ready all the time?
Yeah, I think I’ve lost him (to the Colonies).
Not if you’re exclusively consuming Black Adder and old Top Gear videos online.^^
That’s a point current generation children are actively working on by following English-speaking streamers, communicating in predominantly English Discords, etc. The worst: my kid chose to prefer American English. Where did I go wrong?
SOMEBODY SET US UP THE BOMB
Of course, ‘sharenting’ is a word.
