This is pretty normal behavior in response to any game published by an AAA studio.

Intel is trying to break into the home GPU market, and you’re surprised that they’re trying to make sure a game that has a lot of interest is able to be run on their GPU?

People who buy or recommend GPUs expect to be able to use them to run any software that relies upon a GPU. It’s already a bad look for Intel that this is a problem. The article says you can’t even launch the game at the moment.

Imagine if Word or Excel or Chrome failed to launch because of the GPU you had installed?

Sounds like a violation of the Commerce Clause to me!

I’ll just leave this one for you :)

Age of Sail (In space!) is an apt description since Weber directly paid homage to the Horatio Hornblower books he modeled the initial books off of by giving his main character the same initials.

Make sure to go watch the Sword of Truth series so that your disappointment can continue.

The Dredd: the Musical parody is pretty good.

Pullo was the best character ever.

If memory serves, it was written as a miniseries, not a show that would span multiple seasons. Then the network saw how popular it was and demanded multiple seasons. But the writers had already written all the source material they had expected to.

It’s an open world RPG with a main quest. Games like Dragon Age: Origins or Baldur’s Gate and whatnot are probably more similar. GoG has it for $7 configured in a DosBox.

Nofair Fight has a let’s play of it

So say we all

Darklands (Video game)

It came out in 1992. Set in the 15th century Holy Roman Empire / Germany. It’s a 4-character party isometric game that featuring real time combat, party members who aged and would die from old age, perma death, and fantastical elements based on historic folklore, Catholic saints, and alchemy.

Shit, close to 10 years after we stopped playing, my wife was playing WOW and someone was all, “Icarii… from Corbantis? I bought so many weapons off you, yours were the best!”

That’s the price of 1 annual pass. So if you have a spouse and 3 kids, that leaves you a fair bit in the hole.

I mean, if I was a bot, I’d probably be more productive.

I think you might have meant to ask if I was a shill. But in any case, OP specifically asked a question in relation to using Chrome and related to being pressured to use Bing. While my suggestion was pretty tongue-in-cheek, it was still on topic. You saying “Use Firefox instead” is kind of a poor answer that might appeal to your bias, but isn’t really on topic for this question. I would guess that OP is aware of other browser options.

Right? They’re the same browser just reporting everything you do to different people.

One way would be to switch your default search engine to Bing in Chrome.

I’m a big fan of the Offworld Trading Company OST.

Well, more pay to play.

But if you want to participate in a battle with a large army, you need to have that army.

I’m not sure if that’s viable for 40k. You might not be welcomed to play with fake minis. You could surely do that with friends though.

My understanding is that you’re only allowed to play what you own, no stand ins.

I don’t think the average Joe would know how expensive Warhammer 40k or model trains are.
