Ford Patents In-Car System That Eavesdrops So It Can Play You Ads in c/[email protected]

If it recognizes me it would know my ad preference is none. What is it with paid items/subscriptions and ads? I already paid. Fuck off. If I see paid stuff with ads I go out of my way to not use it.

So you're saying we see 2 dimensions? Interesting. I'm going to try to walk around a tunnel now.

Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? in c/[email protected]

I was curious about this, so I looked it up on Wikipedia, and I don't see this stopping you're talking about. If anything I'm seeing less bombings during Biden's term, not Trump's.

Either you're a troll or uninformed.

On this day 15 years ago, The Walt Disney Company acquired Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion. in c/[email protected]

I don't think Disney is known for selling off IPs. So that will probably be unlikely. Bury is more likely and dig that corpse back up once it's nostalgic.

Have you tried The p8 files? They might help.

Boycot for not inviting a country's representative that's actively waging war on a celebration of life and peace? Not a good look US and UK...

I didn't know that. Never really was into wow. I'm still hoping for a return to RTS for warcraft. But that's probably not going to happen.

And here I thought: "Ooh a blizzard trailer! This will be a feast for the eyes!"

It's not. It's a slideshow.

Star Wars Outlaws gets two story DLCs featuring Lando and Hondo, but only if you fork out for a special edition in c/[email protected]

Story dlc should be dlc. Not something only obtainable through a deluxe edition coming in at 2x the price of the base game. Announced before it even fucking launched

Well it's ubisoft. What did you expect?

I hate EA as much as the next guy, but I've got to hand it to them; at least the Jedi: Fallen order and Survivor games had nothing really locked behind an extra paywall except for cosmetics that didn't change gameplay. Which is the bare fucking minimum I expect for single player games.

Settlers 2 - great strategy game. The sequels never came close. (youtu.be)

I've started replaying this recently, and it still hold up.

Only downside is that it's a bit slow. But with some snacks and drinks this is a great time killer!

Yippee!

Application Questionnaire added to account registration. (retrolemmy.com)

After a user created half a dozen accounts in a span of 24 hours to "battle" a ban on a lemmy.world community, I'm regretting to inform that I have added an application questionnaire to the account creation process.

I want this instance to be a inviting and hassle-free home for any enthousiast of the retro kind. And unfortunately this means it's a little less accessible, and might take a bit before your account can be in use.

I will get to your application in due time, and will check regularly every day.

I hope this will catch trolls and obvious abusers more easily before they become a pain in the ass of the mods of communities.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

If you have any questions or complaints feel free to reply to this post or send me a message.

Tl;dw: he backported dotnet v2 to windows 95, adding the possibility to port software and games to Win95.

Visual studio still has the option to export to dotnet v2 in the current version.

Here's a list of different places you can chat about this series of games. We're a bit divided, but the fans are out there!

[email protected] - This Lemmy community, you're here right now! If you need a Lemmy account then go here and make the account. (Sorry, my server is too weak!) If you already have a Mastodon account (and you're feeling brave/technical) then you can put @[email protected] into the search box there and follow that account.

https://discord.gg/Hss5cJg - Stauf's Mansion Discord. Pretty active with a good number of fans. ALSO HAS Stream Detective so you can find people streaming these games on Twitch! Very fun to watch people fumble through the puzzles for the first time and chat with them, just be careful with backseating. Make sure you assign yourself the roles to get notifications for Stream Detective, ask in there if you need help.

https://www.reddit.com/r/7thguest/ - Reddit community. Not very active, but with a good post or crosspost there could be people from outside the subreddit finding it.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/the13thdoll - Facebook group. Lots of fans for all the games here, very active.

https://mastodon.social/tags/the7thguest - Mastodon hashtag, you can follow hashtags on Mastodon so they automatically show up on your home feed, very handy! Also check the hashtags for#the7thguestvr, #the11thhour, and #the13thdoll and whatever else you want.

https://www.gog.com/forum/the_7th_guest_series - GOG Forum. Mostly tech support questions but there are a lot of fans there.

https://www.gog.com/forum/the_13th_doll_a_fan_game_of_the_7th_guest - again a GOG Forum but for The 13th Doll. Still mostly tech support questions.

https://www.twitch.tv/search?term=the%207th%20guest - Twitch categories so you can watch people playing the games live and chat with them (just be careful with backseating). Open each one and click Follow to add the game to your followed categories list. But honestly you're better off joining the Discord and using the Stream Detective inside there.

https://twitter.com/hashtag/The7thGuest?f=live - Twitter hashtag. Unfortunately you can't follow a hashtag on Twitter, so you gotta just check it manually. Also check hashtags for #the7thguestvr, #the11thhour (although there's some noise in there), #the13thdoll, and any other game you want. (Make sure to switch to the "Latest" tab instead of "Top")

Any other places with fans of the series? Let me know! I'm mostly hanging out here and in Discord, but I'll probably see you if you post to any of the others!
