I hope we will see the fruits of that labour, not that I could afford a pc to run the eventual game.

Wellllllll about that…

It would honestly surprise me if we ever get Half Life 3. I mean what could they revolutionise in the fps genre?

Appart from using solar power to melt salt as a energy storage solution, you also have water cooled solar panels that store that heat as warm water.

Well, he just lives in the wrong country. In the Netherlands or Belgium (for example) you can get large fries.

I am getting old, my first reaction was nice Homm III cosplay.

I think the question is how much money do I need to know what is going on?

Well you also get greek for the European vibes. And kebab according to Germans.

D is probably the best region.

Considering that the Dutch were below average before the second world war, I think your hypothesis is wrong. I think they were just compensating for being tiny during that time.

On a more serious note, I just think the Dutch had zero scruples (inventors of modern capitalism and all).

They just didn’t care how many people they screwed over aslong as they could get one more Gulden in their pocket.

As much as I want to joke that it is the year of the Linux desktop, I think it is mostly because the younger you are the less likely you are to have a pc (so Windows, Mac, Linux and BSD for the dozens of you).

As far as I can see most of the time people use their phone for everything and only touch a pc for work or if they have a hobby that requires the use of a pc (gaming, digital art, music, programming, etc…).

Absolutely a possibility

You are asuming they do physical work and aren’t just white collar.

Gateway 2000 with Windows 95. I do not know which specific configuration (I was too young). I do remember the games I had though: Tyrian 2000, Jazz Jackrabbit 2, C&C, HoM3, I-war, Flight Simulator 95, LBA 2 and Jersey Devil. Half of them were copies I got from a neighbour that owned a cd-r.

WAIT, isn’t that the flag of Luxemburg? The blue looks too light for the Dutch flag or the French flag.

Same in Dutch,

“Vijf voor half vier”

It is a move to decouple from the USA for critical infrastructure. They don’t want to be in a similar situation as Ukraine in any potential conflict. Where the USA just says we will no longer allow you to use our computer chips for war with Russia.

Just to be pedantic, this would be a dick pic pre-camera.

Let’s hope Europe stars investigating Google as a gatekeeper. That seemed to work miracles on Apple.
