Sister's laptop is old in the tooth and so is mine, so want to take hers after I get her a new one. Only real requirements are that it can handle Sims 4 and should have a good bit of life in it going forward. Anyone have reccomendations ? Budget is ~1500 CAD (so basically 1k USD)

I think I will have give Dungeons 2 another go - got it for free - after the first mission and 'humour' left me cold.

Been on GOG a while.

Strays from the point of GNU.

Yes, but in this context you are the sand.

Anyone ever read the myth of Sisyphus ?

Armed people on the subways here would result in every morning looking like a scene from John Wick.

Pretty messed up society where a clerk may shoot you because you were rude to him

And likewise his accuser is just making it up, etc., etc.

Lured in ? Come on, two weeks in advance everyone knew D4 was not coming and they could hope only for remasters - and that's not really worth $100 - and the VTs could be refunded. Actual tickets to attend were sold months in advance before any Diablo hype was self generated by the community. And that community IS pathetic, peddling moronic conspiracy theories or acting highly emotional over just not getting what they want - demanding apologies, or wanting D:I to be cancelled..for some reason. I'm enjoying seeing them gnash their teeth over it so much.

Yeah, I'm not sure what a "remaster" would entail. Just touching up the engine to accommodate higher resolutions? Not an entirely bad idea, because the core gameplay is still fun and works today. But they already did that for The First Decade IIRC, and there's a limit to how much you can upscale that without making even Mammoths look like ants. And any changes beyond that will probably affect gameplay, and then we're crossing into remake territory, rather than "remaster". Much as I'd like a solid C&C game, in the age of MOBAs, I can see a number of ways in which they'd botch a remake. This is EA. Hope they can do something with the cinematics, but not sure if they have the originals. Probably also change to the right click command way of doing things as people are pretty used to that these days.

Never mind, if they hated the homeless I suppose they would let them eat potentially tainted food. Or at least not to want them all dead and ill, rather than driven off

Where's the dislike button.

Seems like they just hate homeless in KC.

It did have a nice OST though. That's something.
