Also not totally sure, but when you do the Steam Quests this week, you can do it without equipping the H`erkow Warrior Script Artifact (adds an additional 1 ARP to Steam Quest) when the 2x ARP Boosters are gonna be activated later this week. We already know that the Boosters don't work with the Twitch Quests anymore because of the Twitch Artifact, and basically I wouldn't wanna take a chance (Technically it should work and shouldn't be an issue as this is not the main Steam Artifact and non upgradable also, but this is AWA).
Basically the reason I'm being very cautious is cuz the payout is big if everything works as it's supposed to. Steam Quests 3X , 25 ARP each with Booster = 75+75 = 150 ARP
This game is sorely missed on Steam, an all time masterpiece. But grannies with knives will be nightmares for a long time to come. Hey, Bethesda, do something.
If thats the case theres been a serious fucking mix up here, but ken was saying she looked AI generated as well, and that doesn't make any sense in that pic, except the photoshop tits

I have the important ones enabled (which is most of them in my rig lol), I bought a clean OEM version of Windows 7 Pro (that I made an upgrade DVD for 10 Pro with), so no third party bloatware gets installed I use just for my rig or for repair jobs when I need ALL the Windows tools that some versions don't come with.
Me I had windows installation it came with the notebook, I just debloated manually all the crap software, then when I had that disk problem, I installed a clean Win10 with a the disk image downloaded from Microsoft website. I had to download all notebook drivers but at the end I have a very clean Os.
I don't care how powerful of a PC you have...I'm running a 24GB 3090...its STILL best practice in my experience to keep your Desktop and Start Menu as clean as humanly possibly ALWAYS.
Sometimes its worth the convenience, better than extra toolbars or docks/dockers floating over it at least, Windows itself is based more on convenience than resource management in the graphics department, particularly any version above Win 7...and they still haven't fixed the core API that all the basic drawing functions are using for general UI elements (Windows/Dialogs, Buttons, etc.) although they use 'some' custom ones for the Default UI like the Start Menu button and such.
I switch my UI back to Windows Classic, or as close as I can without using a 3rd party program (although some are actually pretty good), I would have to reinvent the wheel and make it myself because thats me haha. Even with the old functions its still less resource demanding as long as you keep it clean.
I used to disable all animations and use the classic Ui, no animations no trasparency. Since I have new Win install I kept the standard Ui for the moment. For now I'm ok with it but if I'll need extra power I will disable them again.
Cortana instead is a must to silence
I didn't read this during my rant above, but exactly my point and Windows is worse (I shouldn't talk PC here )...I'm sure anyone who ran a slow or older PC/Laptop has seen the wallpaper or even folders on a solid background just 'melt' down the screen as it lagged.
Proof in point right there.
The Start Menu is more that it dynamically creates (now it modifies, which isn't as bad) every single time you click it or change it...I've made my own dynamic menus with icons/color etc. for adding custom commands back at the lower level with the original API used...its not so bad when you do it just to add something since it only needs to be modified that one time or when first creating the menu on program load
During testing big menu's though I noticed the killer resource hog it became after a few times (and yes I was releasing the memory lol), I can't even imagine the Start Menu doing it every single time with program icons that it probably uses the ExtractIcon API for at the lower levels of the code...which is a pretty ugly function IMO, and was simply never done right
I don't use Win10 start menu as much as I used in the past with Vista, Xp etc... I've everything I need on the desktop or in a shortcut in the win bar, I use more the search bar to find fast the program I want to start, if I don't have the shortcut ready.
I've said this quite a few times, but last I read into it there was a Ransomware that nothing could remove, it encrypted all your files on your drive and insisted you pay to have them decrypted...in some cases they actually did decrypt them, in others you just got ripped off and fucked.
I can't speak for Quake and Duke Nukem, but when we started this convo I checked DOOM (1993) and it shows controller support on the Steam page, I added them just to have for memory sake really lol.
Now I had a flashback: playing Doom on Sega 32x with the controller, back in time it was so cool to play it on a console but very strange to play with sega controller because Fps were meant to play with kb+mouse on pc. Not very hand to play with a sega mega drive controller.
I still have it the real thing
(not my pics) I have them all boxed sealed for collection
Playing games is playing games, It's not accumulating hundreds and thousands of them in a virtual library.
Playing games is playing games, not "playing" for days installing third party mods and patches.
So playing old games is more about old memories than about an adequate perception of reality.
Old games will give you absolutely no idea about modern trends, about modern controls, about modern structure of levels, about modern approach to telling the story, about possible activities, (possible) interaction between players, etc-etc-etc, other than run and shoot. A modern player will throw Duke at the fourth level, where all the fun will be running through the same gray dark corridors in search of a red card (Doom is a little better thought out in this regard, it will start to get boring only in the second episode). This is advice of the level that the grass was greener before, rather than any real comparison of what was and what is now. The fact that their community is still alive only says that medicine in the world is now at a fairly decent level.
They are newer, the majority wasting their time bitching online are younger. That and what I said above are the end of the discussion for me
Like I said, I lived it...idfc what some children of the inter-korn who emulated it on a shitty emulator that didn't get the speed right say about it, ken did as well...and agrees. Like I said, one on one without pressure its a different story, reddit is the land of the troll
lol reddit is the land of the troll....so true!
Both SMK and CTR are great games but I prefer a bit more SMK.... btw each time I read CTR my mind reads CRT
Yup, text adventures were one of my favourite genres on old 8-bit computers. Zak McCracken was the transition from text adventures to point-and-click, I think.
Great Never Ending Story!! Atreeeyuuuu Never played it but love that movie!
Those text games were so cool because they stimulate our imagination as when we read a book. With only text games we had the greatest ultra realistic graphic because it was created by our mind.
Yes I learnt more english words with videogames then with school education.

Thanks, but it turns out it was never "sold out". it's a message shown to those in giveaway restricted regions ,
and on top of that Opera browser which I normally use to get from Fanatical is crashing again and again. Uninstalled and Reinstalled and still crashing, I gotta somehow fix Opera before I get this.
