I think this is the first time I’ve seen this meme format with more than two panels.

Once again people in your comments are like America is the only country in the world. 🙄

I don’t know about VSCodium specifically since I use VSCode, but it does allow you to disable all AI features. Don’t know about telemetry.

I’ve tried a couple times to get into Octopath Traveler and fell off it both times. I’m not sure why. I feel like I’d probably like it if I gave it a chance. The first time I think I stopped after getting every character the second time I think I stopped after finishing a couple chapters on a few characters. Is there an order people usually get characters in? That I think was part of it for me the second time. I started with Ophelia and that felt like a bad choice.

Yeah it very regularly goes on sale on Steam. There’s a bundle of 1 and 2 coming out for Switch 2 in October. So that’s a better deal for sure.

P4 Revival is coming out in February so I’d probably just wait for that at this point. You can start with pretty much any of them. They’re all distinct games with their own mechanics, characters, and stories. I’ve only played P4G and P5R but both of them are very good! I plan to get to P3R eventually.

And now the industry is facing the most severe hardware crisis in its history.

A couple I can remember really enjoying at the time that were not well reviewed and yeah probably are bad.

• Resident Evil: Outbreak
• Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain

I don’t remember a whole lot about either of these but do remember playing them a lot.

Final Fantasy XIII I don’t think it’s actually a bad game, and thought so at the time too. There’s a lot of revisionist history with this one. I see so many discussions now of people being like yeah it’s a great game I love it. Where were all these people at when it came out? XIII-2 is…weird. I think I prefer XIII, but like both. I’ve never finished Lightning Returns but enjoyed what I played.

The US has won several times even!

It’s been almost ten years since the announcement of the second season! I honestly forgot about the re-announcement and thought it had just been cancelled.

Yep that’s exactly it for me. I played Remake on PS5 but the wait between Remake and Rebirth was really long, and I don’t even have a PS5 anymore so it was even longer. By the time Rebirth came out on PC/Switch 2 I was just like eh never mind, I’ll wait for the whole trilogy now.

Where is DOOM in DNS TXT records? ?

I was thinking the same thing. First something about moths(I don’t really get what that was about), then Loss, now this. What’s next?

I never said it was? It’s called a comparison? Sorry I didn’t know invasive police surveillance was a good thing.

Somehow nicest and meanest simultaneously is Trails probably in my experience lol. Trails fans love Trails but also hate it and hate you for not liking the same games they do. I wish there was a good Trails community somewhere.

I guess UK and US governments viewed Minority Report as something to strive for rather than a cautionary tale?

Probably WoW or LoL. I don’t play either of those anymore and probably never will again, but I doubt any game I play would ever come close again.

According to Steam:

1. Modern Warfare 2 OG, not remaster - 411
2. Dragon Age Origins - 245. Makes sense considering how many times I restarted lol
3. Baldur’s Gate III - 215. Pretty sure that’s mostly one playthrough.
4. Trails of Cold Steel III - 178. Holy fuck is this game long! I’m only just now in the finale.
5. Slay the Spire - 169. That’s way off though for sure. I have it on Steam, mobile, and Switch.
6. Elden Ring - 153
7. Persona 5 Royal - 136. I was not prepared for how long this game is.
8. Divinity Original Sin - 127. I restarted a lot.
9. Path of Exile - 116
10. And of course, Skyrim. 105, but I’ve never actually finished it even once.

I was confused for a second because I missed which community this was posted in. I kept waiting for some joke at the end like it booted Debian or something. I thought I was in Linux memes. 😆

Don’t know about Google Search but Duck Duck Go has a specific domain for disabling all AI features. https://noai.duckduckgo.com/

Yep. Someone on another team at my work does this constantly.

Them: I’m having a problem with x

Me: Ok, do this

Them: But Copilot said…

Then why are you even asking me? Stop bothering me and wasting my time.
