If you're playing an open world RPG, which one of these would you prefer happens once you beat the game?

A) You're able to go back to before the ending and continue playing in the state the game world was in before finishing the game.

B) You're able to carry over your party level when you start a New Game.

In both scenarios, you get some extra gear for beating the game.

Would love to hear thoughts on this!

I read The Black Cloud by Fred Hoyle (1957)

A fast and fun sci-fi mystery about a fuckin' cloud from fuckin' outer space. Excellent pacing, not too long. A page turner. Nothing too crazy, but in the context of 1957 it seems very modern.

Fun fact the author was a steady state theorist and disses big bang theory in the book.

With an unprecedented levels of monetary expansion and debt levels somewhere beyond nosebleed elevations, policy-makers and central bankers are trapped. Price controls invariably presage decline (& tyranny). #inflation #PriceControl

Just finished Metroid Prime 1 for the first time (Wii version).
I first played this game on the Gamecube when I was about 13. I could never get past the Omega Pirate.
Good game. I think it's admirable that despite the change to a first person shooter presentation it's still very unmistakably a Metroid game.
Finishing a game you couldn't finish as a kid is a very uniquely fulfilling experience, I don't have that many left at this point, so it's becoming an increasingly rare one for me...

This week we visited Le Redoutable (former nuclear submarine), and inside was this very cute computer-looking thing, with pdp11-like switches.

Thing is, trying to ddg it didn't yield anything, the manufacturer itself (Sintra ?) doesn't even have a wikipedia page, let alone for this specific model.

Does this ring any bells with anyone here? Especially with French retrocomputing nerd?

Progressive means progress, right?

Earlier this week, the WEF recently released an ominous article, warning that we must prepare for “an era of shock events” in the near future.

@gabriel How XML is unforgiving is one of the few non-terrible things about such encoding.

Quirks mode in HTML is a disaster as web developers get away with throwing literal garbage input at the HTML renderer and getting something displayed - at the cost of making it a 10,000 man year effort to write a HTML renderer that works on most websites.
