IIRC the full reveal - and also why the game is titled Horizon Zero Dawn - is quite late. But I think the general theme, that those robots run on biomass is mentioned quite early, although not quite in the sense as it is portrayed in the reveal.

In general yes, but… that game is now 8 years old, has a successor AND a remaster. So… I don’t really think this is a spoiler anymore at this point.

- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 2 weeks ago:
I also got this survey and I had the same feeling. It felt more like a patron for their game preservation program with possible features like a members-only-community, interviews or documentation about the preserved games, their publishers/studios and the efforts to keep them running or some kind of loyalty rewards/discount coupons. Maybe even ‘special builds’ like ‘experience the OG version 1.0 of $game’.
There was one option, that I interpreted like ‘maybe we will put future compatibility updates after purchase (e.g. supporting Windows 12 or whatever) behind the membership’ - but that’s purely my interpretation of a single bullet point style line in that whole several page long survey

The problem is more the CPU than the motherboard. But upgrading the CPU might also mean upgrading the motherboard and maybe RAM.

I’d be rich if I had a penny for every time a savegame or config file is stored somewhere totally whack.
Fun thing of you enable protected folders on windows: No app can get write access your Documents folder (or Images or Videos or…) unless you put them explicitly on the whitelist. That means you get to experience all the programs that are crashing or hanging or… just because they’re simply assuming that that’s the best place to dump data and because these folders always exist, you don’t need proper error handling in case you cannot access them…

Casual sex […] has no survival value
I wonder how many people less of our species were on earth w/o casual sex. It doesn’t have survival value for one personally, though.

Another example of a false friend:

- Comment on Anon is in a simulation 3 months ago:
The earth’s diameter is about 12.700km. that’s 12.700.000m.
Assuming it were a perfect sphere (it isn’t, but that shold give an estimate), the distance on the surface “to the other side of the world” would be
180°/360°*pi*12.700.000m=19.949.113m- also assuming not using satellite communications.Phone signals will either travel as electric fields in copper cables, as radio waves or as light waves in a fiber channel. All cases travel with speed of light
c=299.792.458 m/sThat means, that the time to send the signal to the other end of the world takes about
19.949.113m/299.792.458 m/s = 0,0667s. Now add a few electronic components on there to refresh the signal or transfer it from one medium to another (e.g. the radio tower receiving the RF signal and sending it via fibre out). All of these add a few milliseconds - that’s in the range of 0,001s to 0,01s.You usually start to notice that sound is delayed for movies when it’s more than 0,2s delayed - and that’s with the visual cues. While calling someone, you cannot see them which gives even more leeway. So you probably won’t really notice the delay in those calls.

Also, even without a prior pentest the admins should have a rough idea where problems areas are (or maybe even know them for a fact but cannot completely patch/disable them to not lock out legacy systems or so). A completely empty report would definitely raise suspicions
