Let me rephrase the question: If you have no cellular service, and you pull out your personal PC or device or what have you..... do any games out there with a multiplayer component still support ad-hoc lan play like way back in the day.......or do they all require your device to have WAN access...
Oh the time we wasted doing Quake 2 Deathmatch on the company LAN back in the day.....we all had Admin rights....I think it was the....Lithium II mod? Off-hand grapple, QuakeWorld like swappable models....turn the BFG into a 10x damage mine layer......such times....<3
But wake UP! Its 2024...
I don't think I've ever opened Publisher..................and to think of all those newsletters and flyers I didn't publish as a result................oh god.........now its too late :(
We had trash 80's in the classroom, never saw a Mac until college and by then it was already "writing on the wall" time for Commodore, Atari, and all the other "non-Clone PC manufacturers".....back in the late 80's Begun, the Clone Wars had........
Apple doesn't exactly scream "Defense Contract with the Military" in their company bio anyhow.....the funny thing about Apple is this isn't some elegant solution where it's easy to take on/off like a pair of glasses, it's literally just another face mask, which is almost always the #1 universal...

I'm the opposite, every now and then I get lazy and skip the streaming or the mkv or the BD that I might own...and just grab the DVD because its there......and I'm reminded of just what a big deal it was to get those DVD's at 480p. "EVERY PORE ON HIS FACE" and so forth...it's there....the...
The Windows Key...........the only key on your entire keyboard you have KBM'ed your way into actively avoiding touching, which translates into you honestly forgetting it's there and wtf it's supposed to be good for to begin with.
Hail Mary kind of play going on here, WestRock2k, if Sony suddenly bought-out Rockstar Games, Microsoft would be playing all the same cards, showing up to court looking like they were homeless, showing pictures of Microsoft Headquarters "CLEARANCE SALE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!" signs, pictures of...
I worked in the computer section of a regional Best-Buy type of store in the early 90's, so we sold a lot of Packard Bell and such.....this was before 3D cards and the only upsells were a Soundblaster card (or an AdLib if you wanted to be cheap about it) or maybe moving from an EGA to a VGA...
Well REJOICE! For Tis the Season! This just means they'll sell off the branding, and then we can ALL look forward to ALL the new Toshiba-branded generic 50" TV's and Chromebooks hitting Walmart in a year or two's time......right next to the ones from Westinghouse, Gateway 2000 and Packard...
The coolest part about space is the time element, IMHO......that's the part that melts noodles. You look up in the sky and see all this stuff and go "Wow"......but then have to remember, all of those bright lights...that's how they looked...a hundred thousand, a million....or more years...
Many of us alive at the time of these historic launches are anxiously awaiting the return of the dope beats that alien DJ's will cut out of those sweet, sweet 12 inchers we sent along for the ride.....................Ch-Ch-Chaka...Chaka Khan...Ch.....wait...KHAN!? OMG I THINK I JUST INCEPTIONED! ;)
To be fair, I never once had a ditto that did anything..ANYTHING...and god damnit I tried......so while I support the Nostalgia wholeheartedly, I never got a buzz from a Ditto, hence the Dittio is a LIE. Now....standing in the garage while the 78 Dodge Dart was warming up and pretending to be...
I remember my USR HST Courier external modem chewing up the kilobits downloading a hot new ware making the rounds...it was a no-sound demo of the first level..and I think I played it over and over for hours imagining what the sound effects must be like. About a week later I think a version with...
UPDATE: after deleting it a couple times...and wasting about 1/2 a terabyte in lost downloads, it just up and installed in 3 hours right before thanksgiving.
...............................ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu........I mean I'm happy but the journey to...
Oh sweet Jesus yes.......these cancers spend more time on their Thumbnails than they do on content, because they don't have any...zero...none...just throwing up videos the minute they read something they think they can capitalize on.
I never saw these guys in the stores, if I did the "Glow in the Dark Brains" would have been an immediate parental-manipulation exercise in begging and pleading for sure.........
I recall one of the first "zombie" mods to Half Life or HLF2 (pretty sure it was 1), came as a stand-alone 1-3 level 'demo' that was available on one of the PC Gamer demo discs at the time, this is before many of us had access to broadband so those demo CD's were a lifesaver to try out new stuff...
....this god @($*3 game is not any closer to being installed or playable....but the box turned out fine :D

Thread Capping!........the build is COMPLETE thanks to a fellow HardOCP Veteran who hooked me up, and I'm damn close to budget.
However nothing........absolutely nothing could prepare me for the WEAPONS-GRADE STUPIDITY of the MSFS Installation Process! Holy fucknutz it's RIDICULOUS! EVERY...
Well..wait.....isn't OLED the most power-hungry of all the display technologies, and also...and this is sorta key..*the dimmest*??? This is a portable device, if you use an OLED in any kind of natural light, what happens. Also, Image retention...burn in....whatever you want to call it. It's...
Never heard of em. I was a GameTrailers and FiringSquad guy before YouTube destroyed the hosted web site business for anything that wasn't built around sales and commerce. I'm assuming these guys did something like that....(???)....... You know, back when Amazon sold mostly books......
Nvidias track record so far indicates there is absolutely nothing to be excited about here, its just their way of kicking the can another 8-12 months.................
