I think it was something to do with COVID stats during the initial outbreak, but yes, yes it was the UK government and their bizarre love affair with stupid tech choices.

It's very "lipstick on a pig", but you can run the PWA side by side with the native desktop. I have many screens so I keep non-call activity in the PWA version to avoid this nonsense.

I'm sure they will add tabs eventually as an afterthought and make it even more obtuse though.

I also reflexively delete the personal OneNotes and start a new one where I want it to be, but the war between me and Microsoft about how I want my personal documents stored has now raged for many many years.

I wonder if anyone on this forum has played the game enough to realise that the entire rating is entirely justified just on basis of the bloody wheel of fortune, which while pragmatically only 0.05% of the game is the bit that keeps me up at night and regularly makes me make poor decisions that hurt both myself and the current run.

There's a couple of curators that "review" DRM in games. It's not perfect but it helps.

I don't disagree, I'm just grateful at least one of them is dead. Who knows, maybe one day they'll stop with the pointless bloody accounts too. Glares at Sony

Props to these guys. They tried something. Everyone hated it and they did the right thing. It's increasingly rare. Back to Civ I guess.

Our patron saint is from Turkey(ish), what's your point? We can steal culture as well as marbles you know.

What mystifies me is usually when they do this sort of thing they throw it on Plus and get a mountain of players. Fall guys, and Destruction All Stars spring to mind as examples. I guess the effect isn't so strong with the new tiered system, but it may have saved them some face.

Nah. It's like frozen onions being cheaper than fresh. They are just orders of magnitude cheaper to ship and store and still be in a useful state. If you get artisanal fresh, never frozen bones they are a lot more expensive.

So. Years back. When they did that ad where parents sent a kid emails to their own Gmail and then gave them the account details when they were grown up... Everyone who ever did that are gonna lose all their work if they don't think to log in periodically. Nice.

Was an actual question - it wasn't exactly universally hailed as a success, so I wasn't sure if we were pretending it didn't exist. I found it to be fine though. And last I poked around mod support seemed likely, but I got distracted by other releases so it's not as 'grabby' as MoM was. I think the increased fidelity came at the cost of speed. But maybe that's just because I can't rely on muscle memory to bang through turns now.

Uh. Are you kidding? The remaster released like 6 months back.
