Thanks for looking into that, and for the reply - this would explain a lot.
Coupled with mlmym issue 104, noting that those settings are always stored client-side in the cookie, it explains what I’m experiencing: github.com/rystaf/mlmym/issues/104

Staggering that Myst is at that price. Sure, it’s great, but it was one of the first CDROM games and its gameplay reflects that.

Great video. (For those unaware, the video’s title is just copying the one used by a UK newspaper when the game was released).
Parallax was one of my favourite C64 games, and Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder were my favourite Amiga 500 games. Just amazing.
Growing up outside the UK, I was completely unaware of the Daily Star’s manufactroversy and the RBL’s IP-related histrionics.
- Comment on Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut - Launch Trailer | PC Games 1 month ago:
As someone once said about director’s cuts with films: they’re a double-dip scam.
If the cinema and home media releases were the same, they’re just trying to make you buy the same thing twice by pretending that this is what the director really wanted it to be. The distributor really likes your credit card.
Having said that, Taylor Swift has something like 28 versions of the same album out and her stans are going crazy for it, treating them like they’re Pokemon.
Whatever floats your boat. 🤷♂️ Don’t let this old dude yuck your yum.
- Comment on How to ease up the return to GW2 2 months ago:
Some still have the WoW heyday raid guild mentality, but there are plenty of large, casual guilds without the expectation of specific days, hours, taxes, “must login at least twice a week”, and such stuff.
Happy to recommend one to you. They have opt in sections in their Discord for PvE, WvW, PvP, etc, etc. And have an “all members welcome” Guild Missions session every Saturday, which is an effective way to meet and catch up with everyone.
And having access to a guild’s hall is great for cheap travel, extra resources, permanent boosts, crafting, etc.

I was gone for 10+ years (I started with beta) and I just picked it up again a year or so ago by continuing the storyline and rolling a few new characters for their race-/class-specific stories, and it’s been great.
Having a few people to play with on a regular basis makes all the difference. We do PvE for events/specific things (e.g. mounts) and now mostly play WvW because it’s dynamic and fun - and it’s an easy way to grind for legendary gear.
In that time, one mate’s completed his legendary armour and two legendary weapons, another’s not far off completing his armour set, and I’ve nearly completed my second armour piece because I’m the slacker. :)
The DLCs go on sale fairly regularly - usually the “seasons”. Occasionally you’ll see an “all seasons and latest expansion” go on sale, and should probably grab that if you haven’t got them. After that, just buy the missing ones as and when you’re ready to pay for them.

Guild Wars 2. Love it.
Started playing in beta, took a break for years, and have been playing it again with friends most evenings for a year.
