Watched the recent update on it. Definitely not easy.

Seriously. I clear my cookies on Firefox exit because I don’t want their shit on my computer if it isn’t needed.

This would cause me to see them every single damn time.

This was me. After I “proved” myself to be a “worthy” employee, the raises came. I also work in an environment where things are still pretty old school though, so take that will a giant grain of salt.

Not just women. Goes both ways, trust me!

I’ll be honest with you, I never cared about any of that stuff when I was younger, so it wouldn’t have made much of a difference to me back then.

As I said, the zipped file was not a RAR file, but this was almost 20 years ago, so that is a bit fuzzy. 7zip was much slower for the file that I unzipped, that much I do know! I still remember seeing a progress bar on 7zip, which I had never seen before on WinRAR (unless it was one of those multipart files, which was rare even then for me!). That is what stood out to me and why I can remember it so well. I even remember asking myself, “Why do people prefer 7zip if it is slower?”!

I will say these days I don’t use WinRAR, and just stick with Nanazip and Ark! I care more about stuff like that now though, so I appreciate you giving me more context! :-)

So, a long time ago, I tried using 7zip for extracting a zip file or similar. I don’t think it was a RAR file at the very least. I noticed that 7zip was slower than WinRAR, which is what I had always used since it was the first I’d heard of a program that could unzip files.

Fast forward a few years, I had some money and bought a WinRAR license, just because I liked the program that much.

Fast forward a few more years, and I use Nanazip on Windows and Ark on KDE/Fedora.

I will always remember the book stack icon for zips/RARs/etc. fondly and just how much faster (again way way back in the day). Multipart RARs were how I got a lot of stuff back in the day, even larger mods!

Anyway, I know it is popular to hate on WinRAR, but for me, it will always be remembered fondly for what it was. :,-)

Nanazip

I want to use Godot to make a King’s Field-like game, but the time needed for that is something I just don’t have right now! Maybe one day! T-T

Generally, developers who released on Steam at one point and then try to do their own launcher or something usually come crawling back. Maybe we’ll get that this time too!

I see Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, and I upvote. Simple as.

Thank you for sharing! :-]

Yes, oh my god at the times they would bring you out of the Animus for some shitty present day story that wasn’t nearly as interesting as the in Animus story!

Seriously! I think that’s true about most companies these days. They literally go the worst route possible 90% of the time.

That game was the best pirate game that nobody asked for, and it was a freaking Assassin’s Creed game! xD

It’s strange to see how some people took this completely the opposite way than I did.

To me, it just shows that even when we’re at our lowest, a little bit of encouragement and a reminder on how much you mean to them can really drag you back from those dark depths.

People being nice to you is not always an ulterior motive.

Reminds me on how they had a single person (I think?) doing Batman’s cape for the Arkham games. That was their position, the person who makes the cape seem like a real piece of cloth.

I still think about how good the cape looked when flowing or in movement. They did an amazing job either way!

Yeah, if anything, it should remind people that others aren’t as fortunate as us, and not only be thankful for our luck, but to try and make the world better day by day for everyone. That’s how I see it anyway.
