Not exactly "completely" but yes. Once you visited The Attic, a couple of other rooms got corrupted resulting in insta-death if you entered them. Also a couple of objects were inaccessible so the game wasn't completable. Software Projects initially lied that it was by design to make the game harder.

Oof. That's poor, sorry.

Plan.

It's coincidentally a week and a half before my 17 year(!)Twitter anniversary. I'll probably just close the account at that point.

I don't disagree (as my avatar should demonstrate!) and it's becoming A Problem.

It's not really fair to compare modern games with (really) retro though. When I was Gen Z age, games were considered extravagant if they'd had *two* people developing them...

Counterpoint: back in the day if you bought a disc (or other media) and it was buggy, it stayed that way.

Moreover, old tech doesn't *need* to be jailbroken. No-one thought to build jails.

You can save of digging the second by asking the bystander "how do you spell your name?"

Aye. Short of voting with my feet though, I don't know what to do about that.

Anecdotally so far, people I follow seem to be cross-posting to both. 🤷‍♂️ Something something rolling stones or snowballs or something?

I can't help but question, were they really friends? 😁 There is an element of "never meet your heroes" for sure.

Quite. Also, inertia is a problem. Why am I doing this? Well, because I always have.

I just questioned why I was still on X and concluded that it's because people I'm interested in are still posting.

So I've started searching for them on BlueSky. So far I'm 5 for 5, I had no idea they were here. Might be worth mentioning for the benefit of others who have cold feet about migrating.

It's still not too late to delete your account.

I got one of those "all in one" TV remotes for Christmas last year. I thought, "this changes everything!"

I don't think "ears burned" means what you think it means.

Genuinely saw "2/10" and went looking for the other nine instalments of this post.

Or they'll replace it like-for-like and give Dyson more money.

Ah, tossed salad.

de-nile? Never mind. 😁

Skylab Landing Bay and Solar Power Generator always did for me. Completing either was more by luck than good management.
