Gog doesn't have this. They specifically market it that you get to download a binary install and keep the game forever.

Which is increasingly unlikely.

You should give it a try, it is some of the weirdest and coolest tech in controllers. It's the only one I use for gaming, dropped every other for it. The gyro aiming thing is such a weird yet natural concept it's just funny nobody thought of it before them. Lots of settings to go through before it works well for a specific game. I set it up for CSGO and was able to play at like 80% of my usual skill (LEM at the time), with spray control being amazing on it compared to mouse. Honestly, if I had it when I was learning to play FPS when I was young, I'd probably be better on it than kb+m

Nothing, one was simply trendy and OP doesn't know how movements work so they just lumped it together

This one is, the only "coop" part is you being able to pull someone up, someone using the items that you carry / ropes you setup. You do all of that stuff for yourself anyway.

No argument on gps and lidar from me. Streaming doesn't work. You are probably thinking about Microsoft flight sim, which completely fails (and is the first "completely streamed" map). Out in the "real world", you don't have a fiber connection to stream gigabytes every hour.

Does the taxi driver remember every sign in the city, every road and parking spot? No. They are humans - they remember the streets, some important spots that are confusing, maybe a couple of shortcuts. There is a huge difference between having a 3d map of everything in the city in the memory, and setting a GPS to an address, reading the signs as you go by and adhering to them. Also if self driving tech is to expand, you don't go putting the entire world into memory - that's not scaleable.

And as I said - a symbol is never "simple as a still life painting". If it were still life painting only, why is this news? Why didn't she change the background to a different one that didn't have the watermelon? Why is there so much emotion surrounding it?

The truth is - a watermelon is a symbol for Palestine now. We organize watermelon parties in public parks and everyone knows what it is. Sure, it's a celebration of culture, not political, generally just a party. But at the end of the day, it is a symbol too. Playing dumb doesn't suddenly make people go "oh okay I guess this is just a watermelon". People see a duck, hear a duck, think a duck.

Not much to understand. A chunk is a small part of a map. People do challenges to do everything in a chunk then move to the next. This guy chose a part of a map that took hundreds of hours to complete and did it.

All flags are inherrently political. A flag is the ultimate symbol for nationalism. Usually you shouldn't display them in any context, especially in a job that makes you face people from different backgrounds, ethnicities or nations.

So yeah, I'd tell someone to take off the Ukraine background too, not for the "someone might be offended" reason
