Sometimes the key function works by keeping critical files on the disc and never installing them to the system. Might install the art assets but not the executable, for instance.

Games haven’t actually been played off of the disc in ages, though. The system typically just uses it for installation to the HDD or SSD and then as a key to allow the user to run the program.

Blueray Discs, which max out at around 30-40GB of data at the top of my head

Single layer BDs are 25GB, but dual-layer BDs are 50GB and released simultaneously in 2006, 2010 introduced triple-layer discs with 100GB capacity, and we’ve had quadruple-layer discs at 125GB since 2018. I’m not sure I’ve ever even seen a single layer BD, to be honest.

If they start building a factory right this second, they might be able to get their first chips out in 2031.

Seriously, why does hardly anyone on this website know how to read headlines? Quotes mean it’s a direct quote and commas are used as shorthand for ‘and’.

Babylon 5 still being relevant, unfortunately:

Sinclair: “In order to be free, you had to learn to fight; no one questions that. But you’ve over-compensated. You’re like abused children who have grown big enough to do the same thing to someone else… as if that will somehow balance the scales, it won’t. If you let your anger cloud your judgement, it will destroy you.”

I think he’s technically a legal immigrant. The Kents adopted him with paperwork and everything.

It’s not done yet, but it’s very close.

They’re already selling silicone designed twenty years ago at absurd markup, so Texas Instruments has no need to jeopardize that with the AI fad.

I had a manager that spent a good twenty minutes explaining to this little old lady that the guy asking her to send gift cards was not Jason Momoa.

I was kind of hoping they’d continue the other theme naming for the FF7 series and call it Final Crisis.

He’s the main character of the saga, but the only times he’s the main character of an installment are certain Clone Wars episodes and Revenge of the Sith. And in ROTS he shares the leading role with Obi-Wan.

To be clear, the only time Valve requires prices match what’s on Steam is if you’re selling Steam keys. Games are sometimes cheaper on GOG and EA and Ubisoft regularly price their games a dollar or two cheaper on their own stores.

Or make lighting less of a factor in detection. Line of sight only worked just fine for Dishonored, and Assassin’s Creed used to have a fantastic social stealth system.

This is what I do. The only parts left from the original build are a pair of 2TB HDDs installed back when it was a Win7 system.

Hawke is like Shepard; you can customize them, but the pre-made face model has more detail than what you can make in the character creator.

Bloom was brand new. Devs didn’t have access to it at all until that console generation and took a while to figure out how to use it right.

The ‘real is brown’ phase was similar, with devs suddenly being able to use color grading and having no idea how to use that responsibly.

I’m tired and misread that as, “to prepare for eBay,” and thought that actually using the service to understand it before buying the company sounded remarkably sane for this guy. Or CEOs in general, actually. Alas.

Most Skyrim SE mods are compatible with Skyrim VR, so there’s a chance.

That depends on the bird, actually.
