It didn’t last one afternoon on my work laptop. I went to save an attachment from a vendor and couldn’t pick the folder it saved to. They literally got rid of SAVE AS.

Fuck Microsoft.

I get my eggs from my E guy. He handles all my eggplant needs too.

Are you me?

I tried the “New Outlook” a few months ago. There was no longer a Save As option for attachments. All attachments were downloaded to the default downloads directory.

I immediately uninstalled and didn’t look back.

Here’s an idea. Stop reading up to the second social media posts while you’re supposed to be enjoying the game.

Also, stop playing on your phone when you go to a movie theater or a concert.

I’m sad Um Actually is losing Trapp but I’m hoping the addition of BDG is going to be wonderful.

Clever typos or oblivious poster?

I’d recommend an alternative to ynab such as Actual Budget or one of the others mentioned in this thread. YNAB is great software but the subscription price of it is getting ridiculous.

That was the day I cancelled.

Photos as an online photo gallery is their implementation yes but they bought up Picasa the desktop gallery early on. That software included tagging and I believe face recognition by the end.

That’s not a skip.

Stickin’ together is what good waffles do.

I use ScorePal and my synching broke last year also. First, I did a manual backup of my plays. Then I deleted the app and did a fresh install and log in. Syncing worked again and works to this day.

That said, seeing bg stats got an upgrade, I’ll be trying to use it full time the next month and see how it goes.

I still use NOVA but it is the version before they merged in the buyout stuff. One day it might break but it’s the best option for me right now.

One feature I haven’t found on any other launcher is the ability to use both folders and tabs in my app drawer. In Nova I have my app drawer in 3 tabs. Apps (ones I use daily), games, and everything else. On top of that I like to use a few folders in the main app page to collect things like all my home automation apps, food apps, work apps, etc.

Lawnchair came closest a couple years ago but could only do tabs or folders but not both.

Finally got around to reading this today. 7th guest holds a special place in my heart as a gaming core memory. The game was very out there for me at 12 years old but the puzzles were great. I remember being at school, ignoring class, drawing chess boards and trying to fit all 8 queens on there. I had no idea about the drama that went on behind the scenes for Trilobyte. I always thought a realtime free movement version like the treatment RealMyst got, would be a lot of fun for revisiting this game but I suppose you’d lose the FMV charm in the process.

For those like me who hadn’t seen this before, this time lapse gif was recorded in 2014. The Rosetta spacecraft had a fascinating, 12 year long mission to get this imagery.

The good thing about GOG is basically everything retro doesn’t need that launcher if you don’t like it. 8 myself, haven’t had any problems with it though.

I have so many fond memories of Jurassic Park Trespasser. I remember my dad picked it up for me right around launch time. I had read the previews in PC Gamer magazine and was fully into the hype.

The game was really attempting VR before we had VR. There was no HUD. Your lifebar was a heart tattoo on your chest that emptied as you took damage. There was no ammo counter for your guns. Your character would say things like, “feels full” or “feels a little light” to give you an estimate of ammo remaining.

The biggest flaw, apart from the broken AI for dinosaurs, was just like VR, you had to aim manually. You could turn and twist your gun freely which meant you had to aim down the sights. In VR, in 2023, with motion controllers, this is amazing. But in 1998, with a mouse and keyboard, it was really awkward. It’s a game I never finished.; Probably never even got close to finishing. But I was still in awe of the world they built and freedom offered in 1998.

While I agree with the sentiment, doesn’t your own article state that immediately after the incident, multiple countries launched a group search and rescue mission which saved a lot of the victims?

The story about the millionaires, at least to me, is less about the fact that they’re millionaires, and more about the fact that we have tourist visits to the remains of the Titanic. At this point I don’t know who was on that tiny submersible but I’m intrigued with the tech and what could have gone wrong.

I feel like, for the 35-54 bracket at least, this must be less about giving up all the modern conveniences we have today but more about wishing they could raise their children in that simpler time. You don’t want your kids to be left out of what’s new and cool but you also don’t want them exposed to EVERYTHING these platforms bring. It’s a tight rope to walk and I’m not looking forward to it when my kids are older. I know a lot of people who have gone down the road of, “I didn’t have a cell phone growing up, my kids won’t either.” But it’s not very realistic in today’s world.
