I asked why: “we didn’t think about it”

I have Simon Pegg in Hot Fuzz ringing in my ears: “IT’S YOUR JOB!”

Probably distracted by all the side fumbling.

Windows 2000 Pro?

Something about Agatha Christie.

I don’t, because if that happens either others will have done a more thorough job (because it’s something they care about - I have my own obsessive areas that I’m the one doing that stuff for), or if they haven’t then I have much bigger problems to deal with (e.g. war in Europe).

I finally lost patience with almost every interaction on Reddit becoming a knife fight. No other platform I use(d) is like that. I’d post something, reply to something, or whatever and invariably someone would be needlessly aggressive and hostile. Any attempts to engage on anything beyond a surface level were either mocked or misunderstood (“it’s not that deep bro” - get out of here with that attitude). In general it was socially exhausting and I was tired of it.

I’ve not found that’s the case here, so this is what I use instead.

British children have notes.

I am thoroughly confused by both your replies now. I haven’t got a platform they sell games for, AFAIK, but I had one. This generation they’ve failed to provide enough to get me to buy anything from them.

I had Xbox game pass for a while (I converted XBL time for a token amount) but once it ended last year I couldn’t see any reason to pay the asking price. I’ve been waiting on this generation but it looks like it’s not going anywhere interesting.

I don’t have a Windows PC though?

I’ve got an Xbox One X, and have had since 2018. I’m still waiting on a reason to care about the current generation of consoles.

“has ran”

shudder

Oh joy. What an important cultural contribution that will be.

How have we still not mastered animating arms?

Indeed it is! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_sign_(generic)

Edit: Does anyone know the correct way to escape brackets in URLs on here? I cannot seem to get it to behave.

To put the shoe on the other foot:

• “No time wasters” (You’re wasting your own time writing this for your listing)
• “Bought for ¤x” (You think your item is worth more than it is and will be a pain in the arse about it)

I’m glad it wasn’t just me.

The greatest single-playthrough game would be a fun category. I think my picks for that might be What Remains of Edith Finch, Gone Home, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars, or Grim Fandango. Fire Watch would probably get an honourable mention.

A “pinacle of a (mostly) defunct genre” category might be a good one too. I would argue that Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is the best isometric RTS games ever made.

No love for Washing Machine Emulator?

“Our community” feels a bit monolithic. It’s like saying “film watchers” or “readers”. Lumping anyone that plays video games regularly into a single social group feels unhelpfully reductive.
