  These incessant, full-screen upgrade ads, with no way of canceling other than a small “Remind me later” tucked away in the corner, where the final straw from me switching to Linux.

  Scan a barcode next to the hole, insert bolt, wrench applies correct force for the piece.

  The why not just have the barcode have all of that information encoded in it and not reference a database on a network?

  Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective

  The story has so many great twists and turns even up to the very end. There was a distinct point about 75% of the way through when I came to the realization that I had to binge the rest of game. Even if it meant I got zero sleep that night, I had to see how it ended.

  It was so good I wish I could experience it again blind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell freezes over, MS Paint adds support for layers and PNG transparency⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a hobbyist digital artist and have had to do a handful of graphic design projects for my mundane, non-art-in-anyway job.

  As our computers are locked down Windows PCs, I’ve had to manage with MSPaint. It’s always taken me double the time as on any other program or app, and I have been wishing it had layers for years.

  Since this update is Windows 11 only, I’ll have to for my company to upgrade, so I can look forward to layers in maybe 5 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been a huge fan of the series for over 30 years at this point. I just wish the last twenty years were as good at the first ten.

  I waited to buy every entry after FF10, and everytime (with the exception of XIV 2.0) I’ve been disappointed.

  I really feel let down by XVI. None of the trailers made me excited, everytime they showed the gameplay I was betrayed, and when I played the demo I was bored.

  All of the post-release feedback was so positive though, so I ended up buying it 2 weeks after it came out.

  I still haven’t finished my, despite having it for almost 6 weeks. It’s just so bad. I was able to push myself through XV and I actually enjoyed the XIII trilogy, but this just feels like some Final Fantasy flavored (barely), easy to the point of inducing sleep, action game.
