No Sims post this week, the latest update to the game corrupted my save. I’m going to troubleshoot, everyone cross your fingers and toes that the finale to the story here isn’t going to be ‘and then an earthquake hit the house and undid decades of work’. (:
I don’t know what I’ll actually do if it’s unsalvageable, but hopefully we won’t need to find out.
The Strange Evolution of OpenGL
Sometimes software is engineered. Sometimes it grows organically. And sometimes it's thrown together seemingly at random over two decades.
Netscape 1997
What did web browsers look like 20 years ago, and what kind of crazy features did they have?
Ludonarrative Dissonance
What is this silly word, why did some people get so irritated by it, and why did it fall out of use?
Starcraft: Bot Fight
Let's do some scripting to make the Starcraft AI fight itself, and see how smart it is. Or isn't.
The Game That Ruined Me
Be careful what you learn with your muscle-memory, because it will be very hard to un-learn it.
Even the Sims can end with “rocks fall, everyone dies”. :)
I feel your pain. I have a pending Skyrim update on Steam that is like a landmine waiting to explode my modded setup…
Oh man, don’t even get me started on Skyrim. When they updated the Special Edition to the Anniversary Edition, but with half the content of the actual Anniversary Edition, it ruined any mod that relied on the dll libraries. That killed my latest modded playthrough, and has made it nearly impossible to use some older mods. It’s not like the authors are ever going to come back and update five year old mods that used to work fine.
Oh dear. :( I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you do manage to salvage the savegame!
Yeaaaah, I’m slowly playing through Cyberpunk 2077, already had one update through the playthrough that thankfully didn’t break anything but it has forced me to redownload more than 150 gigs. By sheer luck I have seen that CDPR have announced another big patch for next week and since I have in the meantime modded the game for some quality of life fixes I have tried disabling the updates. Fingers crossed it sticks because I hear it’s not always the case.
Oh no. D:
GOOD LUCK! Rooting for you!
Wish you luck in your upcoming trips.
