I haven’t heard of the phantom charging issue before, but the “only charging to 80%” could be because of adaptive charging settings

I’m saying that a lot of people would consider it to start with “L”. I think it’s common to say “Legend of Zelda”, and even LoZ to refer to the series.
But in tech, there’s often a lot of overlap in the high-end and crap…at least in terms of issues.
Expensive, high-end products can sometimes just be frustrating, or just lacking features that’d seem obvious.
That’s just semantics.
When you buy a CD, you don’t own the songs.
But you do have some item that belongs to you.
With Steam, you have a ticket that will let you into Steam to download the game for as long as your account is in good standing and as long as Steam exists.
With GOG, you have a file you can use to install the game on any machine INDEFINITELY. GOG can’t revoke your access for any reason, and if GOG shuts down, you can still install the games.
With GOG, you can buy any game, and you’ll have files to keep. Once you have the installer, you can keep that forever.
Even if your GOG account is hacked, banned, and GOG goes out of business, you can forever install your game onto any compatible machine, even offline, and play the game.
That’s what GOG does differently.
It’s like buying a physical game, except there’s no disc. They can’t revoke your access or deactivate your ability to play the game.
Those are often categorized as
Legend of Zelda, The
Star Control 2
This is “NoStupidQuestions”, not “AnythingGoes”, lol
People will click whatever’s stopping them from the dopamine hit of adding a game they’re probably not going to play to their library.
It’d be even harder to stop someone who actually WANTS to play the game they’re paying for! Lol
The music on the CD is copyrighted, but you’re free to use the Bass Boost feature or whatever on the thing you’re playing the music from
Do they need “buy” or “purchase”? All they need is “pay”, and nobody would notice.
That was the one action I took on Twitter after creating an account before my account got banned.
I needed to create an account to check a local source for updates. So I did. I also decided to look around on Twitter to see what I was “missing”. Saw a bunch of Musk stuff and instantly knew I didn’t want to see any of it. So I blocked him.
In a few weeks, when I clicked a Twitter link, it said my account had been banned for suspicious activity. It had a secure password and this was its second log-in ever (no posts, comments, reactions, etc).
Hmm…if the price of retro games lowers, I’ll be more likely to get good deals…
But I’ll be in a worse position if I ever need to sell parts of my existing collection…
Is changing the one chip enough to count it as separate hardware to test?
Not to mention that different cooling capabilities could result in different performance, too.
Being funny is engaging in conversation though.
Here’s an actual bot answer:
Those plastic covers for electrical plugs are typically used to protect the plug prongs when they’re not in use. They help prevent the prongs from getting bent, damaged, or exposed to dirt and debris. Plus, they can minimize the risk of accidentally touching the prongs and getting a static shock.
And here’s a joke that I asked ChatGPT to make:
Ah, those little plastic mysteries—probably just trying to keep the plugs warm in the winter!
For anyone looking to play Super Mario Sunshine and wants to consider 100%, there’s “Blue Coin Tracker”.
Not only can you check off what you’ve found, but it’s got screenshots, descriptions, and strategies to help you find it. Even links to YouTube clips if you’re still stuck!
It’s invaluable. The blue coins are pretty evil in that game.
The post title was an entire thought in the form of a question. It invited people to come and share their opinions.
Not to mention that in many clients, the title is presented first before the post body. So someone could come up with their answer after reading everything initially presented to them about this post.
Also, skimming is a useful thing that people do, lol
I think that random encounters can be done well, but they’re often not done well.
I like that they can be a way to give feelings of attrition when travelling through long areas.
Upvoted for “Panda’s box”…lmao!
You’re right! Some games on Steam are DRM-free.
All games on GOG are DRM-free as a rule.
