... Dreaming about a game? Seriously?..

:laugh: .

Words cannot fathom how stupid that is when you're past the age of.. say.. 10.

If you're dreaming about GTA 4, you need to seek help, professional psychological style help.

What a load of rubbish :|

Instead of spending all that time attempting and failing to be smart, you might want to you know maybe try and fix those broken sarcasm detectors :huh: no?

Geez I think all of Neowin needs to pull together enough strength so maybe then we can pull your head out of your own arse? :hmmm:

You cannot just insult somebody and then try and relive yourself of the responsibility by saying it was sarcasm.....Please, don't insult my intelligence. It was not just an honest bad joke because I don't know who is juvenile enough to take that as a joke!

seriously, i NEVER dream. sucks for me =\

only time i get dreams is if i wake up at 9 then go back to bed.

DMT is the drug that creates dreams inside your mind and your mind probably produces a large enough amount that it completely knocks you out striking the dream(trip) from your memory.

Went to see Iron Man with my coworker last night, and he also had GTA IV. I had mentioned that I actually dreamt about GTA, and he said he has for the past two nights now.

We then wondered if R* somehow figured subliminal messages and certain people are responsive to it. :laugh:

AHA so I'm not crazy! At least, not the only one :D

Rockstar might have added subliminal messages....to make sure we keep playing even during sleep! Talk about game of the year....more like game of the century because it might be the first game that gets displaced into our dreams!

I've been dreaming of me sexing up girls, going around random places in the neighborhood, just slaying random people and having breast since well before GTA4 arrived, probably about the time I hit my teens about a decade ago, and while that might seem weird to some at least give me credit for never posting a topic about it on a public forum, especially not Neowin. And no, I'm not sure where I'm going with that but I'm just as lost as to where this topic is heading also.

Just curious to see how many people can actually admit to this :)

By the way, just so we are clear this has nothing to do with how old / mature a person is. Dreams aren't exactly affected by those attributes. As Freud thought, dreams are mere unresolved conflicts that we are once again forced to relive but in a masked way. See, he believed that the "id" component of the psyche is where the unconscious part of our mind lies. He thought that we store our most horrifying thoughts and memories in the "id" which doesn't allow for these to displace into the conscious mind because if they did, it would be traumatic! Dreams are not direct messages. They mask actual thought and memories as a way of preventing us from consciously re-living those memories.

So you see? I am just trying to get a sense of whether this game affects people as much as previously estimated. I am not trying to waste anyone's time. I am honestly just curious.

I don't really know anything about psychology, but whilst my friend was revising it for her exam the other day I read about some of Freud's theories and things, and I have to say that guy was a complete weirdo! :laugh:

Yes, most people thought Freud was nuts! Maybe he was, but he did make some good points.

      Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
