I am not ready to play it due to life stuff, but I absolutely have to because I know my friends will be playing it day 1 just like before, and if I didn’t join them I would have missed out on some of the best online gaming I’ve had in probably 10 years.
It was always my dream to go to E3 back in the 2000’s. I don’t care if it would have been terrible. That period was so special, and I miss the days when events like this told the story of what’s to come in the next year and everyone tried so hard to put out the best trailer. I think that’s why I was so sad when it started to crumble, and I realized it’s never going to happen for me. My only backup now is to somehow go to Tokyo Game Show.
It’s so good we will get it twice this year.
Same! I didn’t even have a computer till the year I graduated high school because they cost too much then. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of people had them. We were the odd family in the neighborhood. Not that anyone cared. Once I got one, the only social media type stuff that I remember using was AIM, Photobucket, and shudder LiveJournal. I couldn’t imagine navigating the internet today where everyone has figured out exactly how to exploit you for everything without you even knowing because you are too young to understand still.
Ps+ top tier. I always had ps+ since it’s what I have always used. I always used to renew at black Friday to get a year for about 33% less and once they did the plan change a few years ago I swooped in and brought up a bunch of cheap years since the price was going up. I have until spring next year before it’s finally over. Not sure if I will renew, not because it’s bad (which I don’t think it is at all) but because I barely have time to get anything out of it, sadly. There was some great moments where I stopped buying games and just enjoying the triple A ones they gave every month. Now I just don’t have time to play anything… maybe one day I’ll be free again.
Duckduckgo. Just moved to it within the year, and it’s been fine for my basic searches.
Speaking of FF7, I am just about finished with Rebirth and all I thought was wow I didn’t see a single update and it played flawlessly. Just shows it can still happen, just super rare.
No, home and pro EOL are the same date as enterprise. Enterprise editions are allowed the extra time because Microsoft already knows an insane amount of businesses will not be fully moved off 10 by that date and instead of making themselves look bad, they setup this program to tell everyone hey where here for you and also ready to make an insane amount of bonus money.
Idk if the article also mentions, but every year after the first, the price increases for each additional year. The did this with Windows 7 as well, I know all about it because I work for a company that had to do it for 2 years. Once the time comes you replace the systems license with a new key that continues to allow updates to work.
Sadly I feel like this tradition is drying up more and more each year. I remember like 10-15 years ago tons of sites did really big things for the day. I honestly forgot today was April 1st until I saw this post. I miss it.
VirtualBoy was also a terrible Nintendo product from the 90s, which adds to the joke even more.
I did play through that as well. I got it when it was free on psn a year or 2 ago. Played through most of it. I agree it was a fantastic game and had a lot of fun.
I agree. I was a big fan of Eastward and Risk of Rain. I need a good mobile game.
I watched the trailer and saw that it was Bigmode as well and got even more excited. Looks like a solid game so far.
I use privacy. Link current card so you can create merchant cards with restrictions. If it gets hacked just delete the card and create a new one. Also if you got charged once another charge from another merchant will not work. I can worry about 1 less thing in life, until privacy gets hacked…
I want 100 Mario back… I really wish they would bring it back for a few months whenever these events happen.
That’s what I was thinking! I never paid for a printer subscription service, and I never will, but they are really telling me I get to pay them to take all my data as well? If this is marketed at businesses in any way its a privacy nightmare, which would probably mean even if they wanted to use them they couldn’t due to sharing confidential information. I also wonder how many companies won’t know this until they already use them and realize HP has data on them that now holds them liable.
My bad lol. It is really great though!
For me I started using a service called Privacy a few years ago and haven’t looked back so far. It’s changed how I handle all online transactions. It let’s you create virtual cards that are either good once or forever and once it’s used by that merchant it’s tied to them. So if someone ever did try to charge you that wasn’t that exact merchant it gets blocked. You can set daily, and monthly limits as well and pause the card or close it whenever. So I would use this virtual card for the payment on epic and then this happens and all I do is close it out and open a new one. So far I did have 1 place that had my card charged from a place that wasn’t them. The cool part is you know who almost screwed you because of the card thats being used. It was a local pizza place and I called to let them know they probably got hacked.
I feel like this would only work if all the other fast food places did the same thing… please, please don’t do that! Seriously, if it’s peak time like lunch, why would I ever pick Wendy’s, which is now super expensive, or just get shitty food from the other place a block away for half the price?
Also, it’s going to be even more insulting when they no longer offer the cheapest items they have today, which I will assume will never be this low again, even at low points of the day. I really hope this campaign is a huge failure and the people who pitched it are fired because I really don’t want to see a future where this is possibly the standard one day.
Did something happen to the game that made it broken? I played this for the first few months when it dropped with about 3 other friends, and we never had those issues then. We would get invaded maybe 20% of the time, but 50% we actually would win, so it was fun.
