I bet it has DRM software

it's also one of them hyper optimized UE4 games that's common these days, where shader compilation issues means you spend the majority of your optimization efforts on consoles and then cross your fingers that the PC port doesn't crater on too many computers and that you can get a broadly acceptable performance patch out in time before there's riots in the streets

The only DRM software is just the EA app. A couple reviews I saw said a day one patch was going to include nebulous "performance improvements" but lol to that

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Very eye-opening experience to read about player's struggles with that later on and discover how many people are tone deaf.

For some reason the family's first color printer came with Myst. I tried to play it back then but was completely befuddled. I remember being awed by the graphics and clicking on some cubes that made random patterns, a sailing ship stuck in ice and tons of gears and levers that did not seem to anything but make me more confused.

A few years later a friend showed me this hot new game he was playing: Myst!

Anyway, that's when I discovered there was a plot and multiple areas in the game. My friend had this big notebook where he'd figured out all the puzzles and stuff. Way too much work for me i thought

If you mean that it should be labeled acetaminophen, you're probably not wrong. I guess nobody caught that during asset production.

might just be an alternate universe where the US supply chain outsourced painkiller production to a commonwealth foreign nation for a ????? reason

edit: huh, TIL that it's only the US and Japan (presumably thanks to post-WW2 economic dependence nonsense) that use as the given name for C8H9NO2

probably the usual "compiling shaders either takes one hour at first startup and/or the game will stutter as it compiles just-in-time"

If you need shader compilation, can't you just license "Now That's What I Call Shaders '22" and be done with it? :dadjoke:

I can't decide which fact I like more.

"They are called Waddle Dee and Waddle Doo because they waddle like ducks or penguins do."

Or, "King Dedede is so large he takes up all the unique character space in the fight."

It effectively is since the CMA blocked it. They can appeal, but it's not a "pretty please, we'll do better and offer even more concessions, we promise!" type of situation. They basically have to show that the CMA acted improperly. And even if they win, it doesn't mean it goes through, it just means it goes back on the table for the CMA to reconsider (at which point they can say "pretty please"). At least that's my understanding from what I've read today.

Yeah this, they would basically be calling the U.K.'s bluff because it would involve the U.K. forcing a bunch of companies to close their doors and lay off all of their employees. It would be thousands of people out of work for literally no reason. It would make the U.K. look really bad, and Microsoft look like the good guys in the eyes of the public.
