Diablo is da bomb... I played it and the interesting part of that game is that it's hard to get rich but I know how to get rich without begging for stuff. No matter when I started to replay the game, I always see noobs asking for items. Guild Wars is another one. People just don't know how to get rich. The only game that does not and never will appeal to my taste is WoW. WoW simply fails in my book. It's cartoonish and there's absolutely no strategy involved. If anyone willing to dispute that, try Guild Wars. In Guild Wars, all it take is one idiots to screw things up, and the whole party is wiped out; one small mistake is all it takes.

You play it online, right? Because it is very boring if you play it with less than three other people.

Nope, never played it online, I guess I will have to throw it back in and try it out there!

  • Borderlands: I can tell it's a good game, but after about 10-12 hours, it just didn't capture my interest.
  • GRID: I tried my best to enjoy this one, but that handling is just awful, especially for somebody who comes from a Gran Turismo background.
  • Half-Life 2: I loved the first Half-Life. In fact, I played through it three times. I loved the diversity in the enemies, but in HL2, it's just Combine over and over again, in different environments and different scenarios. Huge disappointment for me.
  • Soul Calibur: It's fun to button mash in this game, but compared to Virtua Fighter (or even Tekken for that matter), there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of depth to it.

Again, I'll be the first to admit that all of them are good games, but like the topic description says, they just didn't do anything for me.

Guys, if you don't typically like any RPGs, FPS games, or whatever, please don't post the genre as a whole. This is popular games you don't like, not genres. Pick something that pertains to your interests... :/

As for my picks:

Team Fortress 2. I can't stand the weapons you get for the most part.

Final Fantasy X. Hated the characters in this game badly enough to stop playing it. I did very much enjoy the mechanics/gameplay, which makes me sad. FFX-2 also had some great action combat but who wants to play as the spice girls? :blink:

God of War - have played parts of all 3 and haven't had any desire to buy them.

Halo - not sure what's so great about this game. the mp is filled with idiots and sp was okay at best.

GTA 4 - didn't have the feel of the past GTA games. felt like there was too much realism to the point of annoyance.

Bioshock/Half Life - both games give me a bad case of vertigo. might be why i never got into them.

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it

      i backup my files, incl keepass to my proton drive using Syncback which i paid for (thanks Warwagon!). they have a free version but i can't remember what it does and doesn't do anymore. anyways, it's really, really simple and easy to use. i also periodically keep backups of my keepass onsite especially when i've changed or added a password that is important to me. if you don't wanna spend time on the syncthing setup, get syncback. haha i even got my dad to use it for his backups to usb and he doesn't even need my help!!! (thank god!)
