I remember being excited about Gmail in 2005 but at this point I am convinced that the "web app" is a net negative for the human condition. It shouldn't take a gig of ram to read email, and it shouldn't take twenty seconds to load and render a thousand word article.
Looks like a parody ad.
UPlay knows that when I start it up, I'm frustrated.

"That Fallout 76 ignores a nuclear winter is kind of a big deal: it's a well known widely understood consequence of nuclear war.
"To portray that consequence though would be to put creative emphasis on the cycles of predatory consumption that define pre-war American Fallout as a terminal disease, one that killed the host eventually.
"Instead, West Virginia is changed, but in many ways spared."
Lots of sudden laptop deaths in the last 24h.

I watched some of that Half-Life doco and none of it seems worthwhile except Robert and Laura. Feeling strongly but vaguely that Half-Life was revolutionary is the most boring vibe ever. Might as well read the back of the GOTY box
I get that HEIF and WebP are perhaps more efficient… but man are they ever a pain in the ass to deal with, especially when you’re not running the latest and patent-encumbered software.

Esp. curious now that Outer Worlds has been announced; seem like there's quite a bit of overlap between them…
