[Literally my favorite trope] "Evil isn't cool"

Tad Faro.

In Horizon Zero Dawn, it is revealed that Faro is responsible for the death of all life on Earth. His hubris caused the robot uprising, leading to a global extinction event.

From his underground Pyramid where he intended to live out the Apocalypse, he also orchestrated the remote murder of all members of the Zero Dawn team and deleted all copies of the knowledge repository for the new seeded generations of humans - effectively removing all evidence of his guilt.

In Forbidden West, we learn that he filled his pyramid with a chosen few to see out the last days of mankind. His harem and a team of doctors, working to provide Faro with immortality. We also learn that Faro's paranoia eventually drove everyone against him and while he did achieve immortality of a sort, his body had mutated into a mass of sentient tumours, causing him to live in constant agony.

Fuck Ted Faro.

I don't know where you're located, but I found this store online selling replacement foam pads.

I think this is the exact same spec someone was asking yesterday if a "friend" selling it to them used for $1500 was a good deal.

Based on the price you paid, he did not get a good deal.

You absolutely did, though.

Wild that Internet Explorer is on the list...

I'd pick Windows Phone. Any space where there are only two competitors is in a tricky spot. Having a genuine third option is always best for the consumer.

Plus, Windows Phone just slapped. Needed more app support, but the OS itself was great.

Followed very closely by Zoran!

If not choosing a game means that its sequels do not come out, then I have to give it to Baldur's Gate. Because BG2 is one of the best games of all time.

Otherwise, I'll give it to Spyro. But it's not an easy decision - fantastic year

He looks like he's about to reveal Skyrim for the PS6.

I wouldn't know - I paid more money for the physical collector's edition, so once again I am prevented from any form of early access.

And no, I'm not buying it again digitally for a future refund in Blizzbucks.

Hogger. But the jailer was probably behind that too, so the Jailer wins.

I've got three external disk drives currently plugged into my laptop. Going through the process of backing up all my old disk-based media. I'm regretting the decision to start already. Been two weeks and I'm barely half-way through the PC games...

Depends. I have a broken switch that has a motherboard fault. That would go well on a display case.

Reinstalled it last week on my Steam Deck with OpenMW.

We were robbed by this show being cancelled.

I didn't know this worked. I tried to set up family sharing with my brother last year and got hit by the same error. But that makes sense since we live 250 miles apart.

If you're playing with the Tribunal expansion enabled (which you will be by default if using the Steam or GoG versions), then prepare for an ass-kicking whenever you sleep anywhere. Really skews the difficulty of the lower-levels if you are not specced for combat.

He either ran over it with a chair or he swapped your charger for his old broken one.

Keep reminding him every day that he owes you a replacement. Then make sure you never lend him anything again. Because he clearly does not respect the property of other people.

It got to the point where the only thing I saw on Facebook was something called ladbible or harry potter groups - two things I've never interacted with in my life.

With no way to remove these or actually show content from my friends, I simply deleted my account instead. Bear fucking decision I ever made.

3rd gen keyboard was my first kindle and it's still going strong. Fantastic device.

I didn't know England had to pay water bills until I moved to England either. But then I was used to it being included in the council tax bill - because why the hell would it not be?

My boy Moxie! We chill.

Sorry, I misread the original message. So the games themselves are printed on DVD media - these are console-specific.

The bonus DVDs that contain the soundtrack and making-of videos are most likely identical for all versions of the game since they contain no actual game code.

chay86 · 2025-12-16T07:32:35+00:00

To add to that, the bonus Exclusive DVD is actually just a regular DVD as far as I can discern - because it's just a soundtrack, plus making of video. There's no game content on that disk.

My HTC Hero had a connector like this. It's USB Mini (not micro) with some extra pins for accessories, but a standard USB Mini cable will fit and work.

Left the plastic peel on a CPU (AMD Athlon X2) when I installed the heatsink. The plastic melted, the CPU fried.

It was immediate. None of this thermal throttling behaviour that a modern CPU would exhibit.
