You gave me flashbacks of the Peter Norton and John McAfee days!

The fact that this is Gene Wilder immediately gets my approval. The Tim Burton / Johnny Depp version of this comic just didn't hit the same. ๐Ÿ˜‘

Yep. Forever immortalized as one of the original Internet memes, in a good way too.

I've seen the same thing. Seems like the new behavior is to just let me login, play, and it will get what it needs in the background and automatically update on next launch.

Makes sense not to bother me to update a 0.1 release change after launch (unless it's urgent) when I just want to play Tetris.

Isn't this the same behavior web browsers use? Background download and update on next launch?

Not complaining, I prefer this update cycle as default.

Yeah.... no. And looking at the weird framed photo in the background I think this was more for a marketing thing. Perhaps a music band the kids liked back in the day?

Or it's AI.

I like how this is the future version of getting a send-off by the USS Constitution

Nice. You got a good dad joke here. Enjoy your up-toot!

I got a good laugh on this take on the FF XI experience. And then I laughed again when I saw this was an AI image of a 20 year old game.

The best DMs are the ones that can adapt and come up with stuff on the fly. The only guaranteed thing is that the players are idiots and will try and punch a NPC in the tavern on day 1.... throwing your well planned story out the window.

Yes, your escrow can go up that much if your property tax, school tax, or in some cases insurance had a sudden jump in value or changes in what can be claimed. It varies by area and loan, but isn't unheard of.

I get the joke, but did the person writing this have a stroke halfway through writing it?

I'm trying to remember when I last had a real "free trial" and not these "give me your credit card subscription scams". A bonafide "try our thing for real" situation made me buy it.

Free food or drinks for sure. Maybe a newspaper or magazine when I was a kid?
