  Um no. Having to rewind the tape was annoying. If you had a janky player it would eat it.

  I disagree. Find a prebuilt PC that ships with a drive. Extremely rare unless you custom order it.

  On my desk sits a usb CD/DVD writer. Majority of my non tech friends might have an old bluray or DVD player laying aroung or a PS3/4.

  With your statement, you can say floppies are too easy to burn since you can buy a usb writer and a stack on amazon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your best memories of playing Civilization III?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was my first entry into the series after playing Civ Rev ps3.

  I loved using the infinate money/steal cities exploit before it was patched. I would spend hours letting countries built up against me, only to use that glitch to build ICBM and nuke to high heavens.

  The soundtrack was great too! I loved the acient theme. I had a lor of the ost on my mp3 player.

  I doubt it runs on linux. Last time I tried 15 years ago, it ran but everything was black and the mouse wouldn’t capture within the game window.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield is a game people were "just not ready" for and it'll still come good at some point, reckons Fallout 4 composer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really enjoyed Starfield. Just like all Bethesda games, the main story line was weak. The side quests in Neon was really cool (love that city). I got decently far in the main storyline, but got burned out quick. Fighting Space pirates are always fun.

  I did enjoy all the cool scifi easter eggs.

  I tried discovering all the planets/moons but after hitting 500+ (I havent played it in over a year now) they are pretty much the same. The wildlife is all the same, just repainted/renamed (I get it can’t be feasible to make new models every galaxy).

  I get they were going with realism with majority of the planets and moons were empty and just had a couple things to scan.

  I think Starfield was decent, not top tier like they want, but I think a few solid patches and good improvements could make players come back around. Idk I enjoy unique games and this was one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh no, Intel is moving customer support to AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure why everyone is up in arms about this. Companies have been doing this for a decade plus, it just wasn’t called “ai” or “LLM”.

  (not saying it’s a good move, companies have to cut somewhere)

  Rumble is getting there. If it can drop all the right wing bs it would be a decent platform. The gaming section is decent though
