A number of games over the years have had that. The only one I witnessed myself (and feel is was more the console release) was Halo. I attended a midnight launch and that was just crazy. I was also working for a retailer at the time of the original Modern Warfare launch which was pretty hectic. We had some people that had be queuing for nearly 7 hours.

Others have been the release of the Wii and the PlayStation 3 which I was also present for.

After the Xbox escapade, I vowed never to bother with those releases but just ended up working for a retailer where it was part of my job.

It frustrated me when Reddit made the initial decision to screw over app developers. Having done dev work in the past, I know the time that goes in to them so someone asking for a little money in return is the least we can do. But no, Reddit just say "Screw you guys"!

As if that was not enough, they are now showing that they really don't care about the many moderators that have painstakingly put years of 'free' time in to building these communities, the same communities that are the foundation of Reddit!

I am sure we are going to see a lot more of these admin takeovers in the coming weeks and it is the very reason I am over here and why Lemmy is seeing the incredible growth curve. Long may that continue.

While I have loved the innovation of Sony over the years, this one is a little odd. If Sony had thought about this, they would have realised that most people these days already have a viable handheld device, a smartphone. Microsoft got that one right by making remote play work so well on most mobile devices with connection to a pad. I just feel Sony should have done the same.

That said, I get there are some benefits if you have a shared screen and cannot always get on your PS5 but is that worth the money? I am not too sure.

Still, this is the early days and Sony will likely have a bigger vision for it. I mean, being able to connect to any network and play games remotely would be a huge step.

I bought and finished the Mafia Trilogy a month ago. Forgot how good it was. I have since been playing Starfield so nothing else complete for a while I would think.

Wow... so many choices. Skyrim is a great shout.

I remember hearing the Halo soundtrack for the first time was incredible so feel I have to go with that.

Other worthy mentions:

• Street Fighter II
• Civilization (theme tune to be fair)
• Horizon

I did the classic, jump in at the deep end approach, and ended up with some distro hoping for a while. I then settled on Fedora.

Why? It did everything I wanted to do and did it well. I found some distro so easy to setup but harder to maintain, some really slick but problematic with updates and apps. Fedora, for me, just worked.

All that said, there are various factors to consider, including your hardware configuration. Some distro just happen to work better on some hardware specs, especially when considering your graphics.

I have a similar usage to you, covering a little bit of everything including gaming and dev and, so far, everything continues to work. So much so, I am thinking of switching my gaming rig over to Fedora in the coming weeks.

The first one is definately the best one in terms of the overall feel of the game and storyline. Both the 2nd and 3rd games are good and have elements of story continuation in them. On the 3rd one though, parts of the story did not keep me hooked and I did not feel invested in the character arch as much as the others. For me, great games, new and old, must have:

• A compelling storyline
• A believable or even relatable character arch
• Consistency throughout so the story flows

Graphics are not the most important thing in any way. I want to feel immersed.

Feel that went on a little tangent them but you get what I mean (hopefully).
