When it launched, I had it Day 1 on PS4.

It was fuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccked. Crashing, performance was shit, bugs galore, janky textures. There were a lot of people who ended up with a dogshit product from a playability perspective.

I played through it and beat it while it was still in rough shape, because I loved it so much anyway. Obviously, it improved later and it ran well when I upgraded to PS5 (and better when there was a PS5 version released). This game is currently on my PC, because I bought it again just to keep playing it there. It runs great on Linux.

CDPR used to just be a name you trusted because they built a reputation. They hurt their rep with the launch for CP2077, especially after their marketing "Out when it's ready." But they have also done the woork to rebuild it, we'll see with Witcher 4. Big promises to fulfill for that one.

Coil whine. Especially if it ends up triggering an acute tinnitus flare up, which is like coil whine times a million

This is such a fundamentally stupid idea in the first place. It proves the legislators are thoughtless morons on the subject.

Yes, lets compell ALL providers to create and maintain very desirable targets (dossiers of user's personal data and all activity) and also compell access for the incompetent RCMP to get it whenever they like. Let's also understand that Canada has already passed a law to make sure they can never be held responsible if they fail to properly protect that data on their end.

Oh don't forget, they don't mind at all if the providers give them MORE than they ask for, volunarily. Nothing weird about that, I'm sure that explicitly stated and intentionally placed soft spot will never be misused. They are going to take all this data, and shove it into an LLM and then god-knows-what.

I guess now I get serious about I2P and other options to move my activity off the surface web, given that VPNs will be pointless now. And so I need to think about what of my online activity that I can accept the government collecting, understanding that they WILL misuse it and fail to protect it.

I hope Proton goes big-brain and uses that 'voluntary data' loop-hole to pollute the data of whatever it is forced to share.

Yeah this it.

I don't remember events unless they are emotionally charged. My wife hates that I forget the things she tells me.

I don't really even remember TV shows or movies for very long. I don't mind that because I can rewatch my favourites and re-enjoy them.

I used to be able to remember hundreds of unique complex passwords for my different accounts; I remember facts, figures and technical details easily and permanently.
