Do kids nowadays even know what Splinter Cell is?

Archer T3U, a usb WiFi adapter.

TLL (Tornado Low Level) on the ZX Spectrum was amazing at the time, and Cyclone was a sort of follow up but I don’t know if it was the same developer or anything.

Are you talking about 1 or 2? I always thought 2 was better and introduced a load of mechanics (to me at least) that are commonplace nowadays. This was the first FPS game I played where getting found during a stealth mission didn’t completely ruin everything. And the concept of unkillable enemies that you can only run from.

Is this why green sweets are usually lime flavoured when they should all be apple flavoured?

Linux is the best it’s ever been but it’s still too complicated for normal people. Most people don’t even know what a VM or a driver is. I would disagree that drivers are no more of an issue on Linux than Windows. You can plug upwards of 99% of devices into Windows and they’ll just work. Barely and vendors provide support for Linux, not that that’s the fault of anyone really. I can understand why vendors don’t want to commit resources and Linux can’t have built in support for everything.

I’m kinda expecting that it will just be a more powerful Switch. Maybe one day companies will be able to make games that are Switch 2 only but won’t be forced to. Kinda like how nobodies making PS5 exclusives yet.

How exactly will this produce novel new ideas, AI is literally incapable of doing anything it hasn’t already been trained to do.

It’s an Archer T3U, which uses a Realtek chipset. I was living in Africa at the time I bought it and you don’t get much choice when it comes to electronics. I heard of a guy who had to travel to Spain to get a USB mouse. Anyway, the problem is that I’m actually trying to install it on a Beaglebone Black which is stuck on the 5.10 LTS kernel. The chipset is actually supported in the latest kernel, but the BB version hasn’t been released yet.

I spent today trying to install a USB WiFi dongle in Debian. On Windows it took about 5 seconds, I still haven’t got it working on Debian.

TIL that in American liquorice is called licorice.

Black liquorice is great, damn kids just want to eat a bowl of sugar nowadays.

I’m avoiding reading this thread as I don’t want spoilers but I didn’t really enjoy the first one that much and dropped out before finishing. I hear a lot about 2 though, is it worth playing the first one in order to play 2?

I don’t see why everyone hates this. It’s disabled by default and you don’t have to use it. I use Linux but thank god someone’s actually trying to make operating systems interesting again, nobody else has done anything interesting in years.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a kid come to the door without a costume, I’m not sure I’d even notice. But yeah, who knows why they haven’t got a costume, so I’d probably give them some.

What was wrong with Joplin? I was thinking about giving it a try.

I’m probably remembering half of this wrong, it was the only time I’ve ever played Settlers of Catan in my life. So I recall you have to be the first person to so many points and I got something like a port which let me convert hay to points. I got that and then quietly traded all my items for hay.

Out of all of us there were only two guys that had played before, I’ve never met either of them before or since. They were getting really serious and competitive with each other. I still remember the look on one guy’s face when I eon the game out of nowhere. I wasn’t being smug or anything but this guy gave me a proper glare. He was a little bitch and wouldn’t talk to me for the rest of the night. A couple of people said they were glad I beat him.

What do you find uplifting about Doom? Is it the bit where demons enslave the Earth?

It’s just a ceremonial thing, they don’t have any actual power. Plus it makes money for the country. There’s not really any reason to get rid of them and King Charles is always pushing anti-climate change stuff so he’s actually using his influence to try and help.

Actually loads of people do.

This one was much better than the sequels and I think it was because in the sequels I found Lara unbearable. In this one she was scrappy and there was lighthearted chitchat to just make everyone feel a bit human. In the sequels everything was just so melodramatic and it all took itself way too seriously, especially considering how silly the stories were.
