Not paid but ID "put out" a new map pack for Quake 1 last year-ish for the 20th anniversary. It was designed by Machineheadgames people and was just a mod pack like all Quake level packs or w/e but still neat. It was also better than Wolfenstein II

Didn't the original Titan Souls come out 11 years ago? I wonder if that's the longest stretch of time for new paid DLC
Everquest's most recent expac was in December 2017, if that counts.

I have a Roomba and it's name is Doug (after Doug Stamper, cause it cleans up my poo poo). I think it's great and I love it because it does a real good job of cleaning. Sure I have to pick up cat toys and charging cables before I run it, but that takes about one minute and then Doug cleans while I do something else. Occasionally it'll get stuck on one of my chairs or under one cabinet, but that's it and it's easy enough for me to mitigate with the light towers Roombas come with.

I don't want to imagine life without Doug. I feel bad for all the Roombas in this thread that aren't loved. Should I start a Roomba rescue?

It hasn't been worth the cost of electricity to mine a bitcoin in a very, very long time, funnily enough. Only extremely powerful and specialized mining-only computer setups are able to do it effectively anymore.

edit: But that's ok, the people who live in their parents' basement and mine bitcoins don't pay for the utilities anyway :laugh:

edit again: Here's a handy dandy article on exactly what you're speaking of, scroll down a bit for the scenarios at the bottom. As you can see, actually mining bitcoins loving sucks in 2017/18.
The vast majority of the mining is done by Chinese farms full of specialized ASIC hardware located really close to power plants where the electricity is just cheap enough. The people buying up all the videocards to make mining rigs in their basements are mining altcoins, not bitcoin.

A weird thing happened yesterday... I started to get into Neverwinter Nights 2.

I have Bloodborne sitting in the living room, but my old, lovely TV is showing its age, and everything onscreen is blurry and just generally low resolution. Like, what looks like a torch on a wall turns out to be three angry undead villagers. It’s rough. I haven’t used my TV in so long, but I never remembered it being this bad.

Meanwhile, Neverwinter Nights 2, a game with terrible controls, crazy amounts of D&D bloat, character models that would’ve looked bad pre-9/11, lame writing and characters, a cliché plot, poorly-programmed party AI, is holding my interest. It’s a G1F3.

I know the recommendation is to skip the first official campaign and just do Mask of the Betrayer, but I’ve learnt that the latter is a continuation of the former so I can’t bring myself to skip 18 levels, at least not yet

Make sure you have the unofficial patch and that you get ready for a poo poo ton of combat by the end. It's really good but the last hour or so isn't great.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

Opened my eyes.
For $220 that figure better come with it's own Mini Nuke
