Discovering Half-Life in 1998 was an unforgettable moment. I already loved narrative-driven first-person shooters (Dark Forces), but this game convinced me that I would get lots of great games in this genre in the future (and that turned out to be true).

I'm glad to see the Fallout series back (especially without having to wait three years). It's nice how certain storylines resonate with current events. It's not just war that never changes.

The Orion browser has a feature I have been wanting for years. Years, I tell you! You can have each Profile set to run in its own instance of the browser. Two profiles = Two separate dock icons. #OrionBrowser #Kagi

It seems as though we are rapidly reinventing the early days of AOL and CompuServe, where platforms want the entirety of their users' online experience to exist solely within their own walls.
Of course I hate it, this is the opposite of what I love on Internet.
Sharing hyperlinks is (one of) the basis of the world wide web.
If the problem is the quality of the links, moderation could exist, but billionaires don't like that for reasons.

WOW! Major change being tested on Facebook
Some will love this. Many will HATE it!
Facebook is testing limiting the number a links people can share without a Meta Verified subscription
Some users will be limited to sharing just TWO links per month in organic posts, without a Mera Verified account

Part of the fun of these kinds of illustrations in context is the janky, home made feel of the graphics. Having them be “photorealistic” is boring. Let’s hope The Daily Show/John Oliver/The Onion do not follow suit.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

I'm about 80% through reading The Godfather. It's...well, it's certainly not what I expected, that's for sure. The sheer amount of side-questing contained in these pages is certainly not what I was prepared for.

Really enjoying #OuterWorlds2 so far. It's got some serious Fallout vibes, and that's a very good thing :)
