My dad is one of them. Always says that stuff does not matter. I once asked him if he followed the instructions closely and said yes. I did not believe him and so asked every point in the list individually. For every every instruction he told me that he didn't do that.

Gigabyte Aorus maybe? Some years ago I sent in my MB that suddenly stopped working via the store I bought it from. No issues. Repaired and fully functional since.

I sent in another one after for a very weird issue. Long story short, I think something is slightly broken with the RAM slots but since it happens "only" sometimes (depends on how hardware is plugged in; and also randomly), they could not find any problem and sent it back as "OK". So I am only partial disappointed. Process was without friction and charge.

The board that still currently drives my computer is asrock. Won't buy them again because they put the cooling fan directly below the (hot) grapics card, made accessing m.2 real shitty and were missing a uefi feature I thought was standard (from gigagbyte; which graphics to use for init).

All my boards fall in the highend category, but not the absolute top. Also, I am in the EU.

I certainly don't care if others get the game other ways (except unauthorized key stores). I am just happy that good games get their recognition and give people joy. I am in the fortunate situation that I am able to just buy all games I want. Heck, I even bought games for friends who were unsure or even dismissive "if it would be worth it". I also buy/bought games that I never played or won't play but watched streamers play it.

This statement reminds me awfully of the Living World Season 4 Story in Guild Wars 2.

And yes, before people become angry about this comparison: I said "reminds me", not "the same as" or anything else.

Explanation (hard spoiler!):

Thank you!

Finish? I never finish anything. But I stopped playing Ostriv. Too many rough edges and a bug made me stop completely.

Currently: Farthest Frontier: cool but still some rough edges.

Plan? I never have plans.

Ongoing once or twice a week, still: Guild Wars 2 WvW

Somehow reminds me a bit of Midna from Legend of Zelda Twiligt Pricess.

I did not even know that a DLC came out. I am sure I would have if it was good news because streamers I follow would have tested it.

But it is so sad. I really liked cities skylines because it basically is what I wanted from sim city. But with a million mods it would always break at certain points and force me to stop playing. I had such high hopes with 2 but seeing this game at launch and now seemingly still broken is so... well I am not really sure how I (should) feel.

The good thing is, that I do not have to keep reading and researching but rather wait for some "news" to pop up in my feed again. So I can get back to forgetting about it.

I learned it too that it has to be "new". Most likely it is a hell of a lot easier to directly patent it and have a strong legal foundation than just wait around and scramble for proof if it needs to be. Probably also helps being picked up by the industry.

I sometimes needed something like powerquery from microsoft excel. To like quickly get specific data from a structured file.

Appimage might also be a way

Thank you for your detailed answer! Seems like you got a cool but complex system in place. I am so glad I mainly fumble around in backend. Frontend becomes so absurdly tangled so fast 😂
