My mate Kevin was a browser tab monster, he'd regularly have 15+ tabs open, messy desktop too, not the way to live, My Computer, Recycle Bin and a folder for all my game shortcuts which is inevitably ignored as the amount of game clients on my quickbar slowly grows, its the only way

I have a billion tabs and a desktop that is just icons I never ever use.

Guys, modern browsers don't actually keep every tab open, they just keep a list of what tabs are what and load the page when you click on the tab for the first time in a session, it's fine

Oh god yeah I forgot about that. You could get speeding tickets and you had to pull over and let the cop write you a ticket if you didn't want to get into a chase.

IIRC it was very hard to drive those cars faster than 40mph without losing control and crashing into a wall anyway so it all worked out

Infinite ammo
When I played Mafia 1 the driving around got so monotonous that I finally just started using the in-game rail system to get around. I had a music player with headphones that I would listen to while I did this. I literally had to commute to my drat missions.

Game was great besides that though.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
Having an absurd number of tabs open kills the purpose of having tabs at all. Browser tabs are for keeping track of multiple pages intended to be viewed in a single session, but when you have so many open that you can no longer keep mental track of which is which, they're no longer useful as they no longer serve their purpose. Having too many open is, practically speaking, the same as having none open at all. Might as well close them.

Having too many tabs open is basically the new "desktop filled with so many icons they extend past the screen."

Figure out Reading Lists or how to use Bookmarks instead you bunch of hoarders. Hell, you can even make a bookmark folder called "Tabs" and just add/delete pages in it as you move through stuff. At least that way you can read the names of pages you've saved all in a big list instead of having to mouseover tiny icon-sized tabs and wait for the popup to tell you what it is.

I have had the same tab open for over two years, it's a picture of a cool bird and nothing you say or do can make me close it.

Having a million tabs open is actually perfectly fine and I'm sorry you're still mentally stuck in the days of Internet Explorer.

My tab are arranged vertically. I can have dozens of them and still read them in addition to the full-page search feature that also finds tabs. :smug:


Seriously though, bookmarks are the wrong tool for the job. I have a browser window per project I'm working on that accumulates all the relevant documentation I need. It gets tossed once the project is over. Bookmarks are for keeping; tabs are ephemeral.

I currently have four browser windows open with literally 99 tabs (I counted them!). I need that RAM.

I've got 49 tabs open but I've got stuff going on right now - but you can just close the browser and they'll be there when you open it again!

Hmm.

A Mafia 1 remake with all of the tedious sim stuff being an optional toggle, a Mafia 2 remaster with the cut content added back in and a tweaked version of Mafia 3 which massively reduces the grind and adds variety to how you obtain territory might be kinda cool.

There's even less cyberpunk to it, though. I mean, cyberpunk kind of runs on being punk, and that's just not really compatible with being a rich industry magnate with your own space station. It's not that kind of story.

That's the typical *shock power curve though, isn't it. You start off conserving every bullet and cowering under desks, and disintegrating enemies with the power of your mind by the end. You may spend some time as an animated coffee pot in between.

Yeah I'd say it's more art-deco sci-fi with horror elements to it, there's definitely some cyberpunk themes to it but that's more in the backstory than what you're personally doing

Very worth playing anyway!

I think it would be cool to do a tech-only run no magic alien powers and maybe even with the degradation stuff on so you're not a bouquet of guns, but it's a long game and ain't nobody got time for that
