Never ever ever ever give money to someone that promise to give it after to charity. There are countless stories with proof of people who never kept the promises. Even if they did give it, they get tax benefit instead of you. It’s worth also (even more) for shop or other places that propose to round up the total and give to charity.

You want to give to charity? Just give to charity, why a middle man ?

French “vache”: Meuh

I watched it purely for nostalgia reason because of the games, I decided to not read reviews about it before. There was few interesting scenes (combat scenes), but overall not worth it IMO. I kept watching hoping that it will get better and I kept being disappointed. Maybe I’ll check the season 2 though according to reviews this time.

They took a big dump on all the existing lore, and on the already well defined character of Master Chief.

Forward Unto Dawn was so much better as a Halo adaptation.

I wasn’t even the first, someone else posted it also while I was typing my answer.

I didn’t even re play it that much. I think in the end I probably have more playtime on Oblivion. But much better/stronger memories from Morrowind. It was maybe because I had less video game experience to compare it with, but this one clearly left a big mark on me. I still have incredible goosebumps when “the road most travelled” or “nerevar rising” sounds start playing from my playlists.

The gameplay maybe clunky compared to today, especially to combine weapon and magic. But everything else was so amazing for the time, and some part are still much better than recent games.

I even had a talk with someone at an “ai in game dev” conference who took as an exemple the way the diary/quest log of Morrowind was working.

Without a doubt Morrowind for me.

Halo and Diablo also, in different genre.

I would say that willingness to exploit other, be selfish and have low ethic also play a big role.

I think it’s more related to the fact that it’s when there is no distractions at all. At least for me that’s probably the reason. No colleagues asking dumb questions, no pointless meeting, nearly no notification whatsoever.

Probably not, this is Quebec. I’m in a french lab and everything is written in English. You don’t really have choice as you are collaborating internationally. Even if the lab is based/funded in France, not all of the people inside will be french. They plan to have scientific advisors that are not french according to the link.

With three different shoes and of feet growing backward also.

It’s “classic”.

Originally (several decades ago) it was used for “Computer Role Playing Games” to describe video games that closely followed tabletop rpg (rules, universe, or just in spirit). But then video games became more well known than tabletop games, and the “c” dropped out of the acronym because all games where “computer” games. However, a lot of more recent “RPG” video games didn’t had this tabletop RPGs feeling (think skyrim and the likes).

So now the term cRPG is back, to describe the same kind of games as before but most people use the C to means Classic instead of Computer.

Don’t forget the volcanoes ! Especially the super massive one that is overdue for quite a long time now.

Something with cinnamon in the oven. Even better apple and cinnamon, but that’s probably the nostalgia of my mom’s cooking talking.

Otherwise onion and garlic cooking together with oil in a pan is always smelling amazing. And it’s part of so many recipes that I do frequently that’s it’s probably my main “cooking” smell.

They are trying to move from “making an impressive video for the show” to “solving actual, real and usefull applications”. So this take obviously a long time to produce new results that show this.

Ok I knew my data were old but I wasn’t expecting such a change. I based my answer on the latest “complete” report I knew and it was from 2011. I was expecting the solar to reduce emission as the technology improved obviously, but I found it very strange that the nuclear emission was higher in your source than in the one from 2011. After reading carefully it turns out that the change in safety and regulations for building new nuclear powerplants changed and lead to a big increase of the co2 emission during building. I thought that most of the co2 emission from nuclear was from uranium/plutonium extraction and enrichment but apparently the building itself is a major part of it.

And it’s much more green than solar if you consider only greenhouse gas emission over the whole lifetime, including construction. But there are other problems for sure.

At least two very different for me:

Myst: I was very small when I played it so maybe I missed some slightly hidden warnings or foreshadowing. But basically during the whole game two brothers that are trapped in two magical books claims that the other brother is evil and trapper him in this books.

It looks like the only way to progress in the game is to trust one of them and go do the quests they are asking in order to free them.

I thought I was smart and did everytime both quests for each of them, my plan was to save before the final quest of one and check if is the “good” one, otherwise reload and finish the last quest of the other.

I finish one guy. cue evil laughter I finish trapped in the book and the evil brother laugh that he managed to lie to me for this whole time. Fine, let’s reload 5 minutes ago and free the other one. another evil laughter basically same thing happen with the other … wtf ? There is no good ending to this game ??

Turned out there was the dad of this two also trapped in another book that was hidden somewhere else, he was the real good guy and lead to the good ending.

So: don’t trust anyone, always look for more options than the two obvious choices that are only an illusion of free will. Lesson learned at a young age.

Other one that is more coming from the community than the game itself: world of Warcraft (vanilla, when it get out), more specifically beating the end boss of the latest raid for the first time. Especially when you are the raid leader. It give such a satisfaction and sensation of fulfilment.

There are a lot of games that require a lot more personnal skill than WoW to beat a boss. But getting 40 people to be ready, prepared, have to good class and good equipment, and play together for hours in order to achieve this common goal is incredible.

I had a very different experience with mine. I bought a middle range one, not the cheap one, with very good reviews at the time. I absolutely cannot trust it. It’s always getting stuck, getting lost and not able to go back to charging station, or say that it’s “finished” and leav obvious spot of dusts.

My living room is indeed a bit cluttered as it’s not that big, but there is still enough space for it to move…

I know, and I didn’t pre order anything for a very long time (and don’t plan to). But unfortunately as long as some players get attracted with this kind of shitty “exclusive” the whole community will have to suffer from the companies pushing this behavior.

But … but… collector and exclusive content!
