And a lot of the items were introduced on the initiative of developers without any coordination with Marketing team

Dark Age of Camelot. 6000 hours on my main character, and I had more or less ten characters… I’ll never beat that amount of dedication into a game.

You know the cosmetics things that you could unlock using cheat codes 20 years ago in single player games ? You now have to pay for it. And they bloat your OS kernel to ensure that you don’t get those valuables skins without actually paying for it.

That’s true. Thank you for sharing this.

Dark age of Camelot. 6000 hours on my main character. I prefer not to think about how could life be different now if I had not started this game…

For 280GB on Glacier : around 1 USD each month For 400GB of hot storage on OVH public cloud : around 5 EUR per month.

In my process I have to sort pictures and video before sending them to cold storage because I don’t want to cold-store all the failed footages, obviously I have some delay here. That is something I usually do during the long winter evenings 😊

I liked and hated Skyrim. Most of the dungeons seems to be copy pasted, and the world feels empty… but the game is good.

I have all my photos on my NAS whith backups to OVH storage for recent data and AWS glacier for folders of pictures older than two years. I can afford to lose all my ISOs but not all the pictures of my child. Never tried to recover data from AWS glacier but I trust them.

Last week I downloaded Dark Age of Camelot which I have not played nor paid for 20 years, and my character was still there. I was really not expecting them to keep the data for so long without any payment.

Yes that’s crazy. The game has the Electronic Arts label and the servers are still operational. It’s not exactly the same servers but some people invested time and money into migrating the data without any guarantee that the player would login ever again.

And given that she is in the middle of the Shrouded Isle extension map, next visit will probably be in a few years. I bet she will still be exactly the same, unaffected by the time going on.

At some point you don’t play the game because you enjoy some relaxing time on it, but because you have to. That’s were I put my limit, now. No fun, stop playing.

1k for phone ? Iphone pro max are now close to 2k …

Sorry English is not my primary language but thank you for that kindly worded correction. That’s indeed what I intended to say ;) I’ll remember that.

It already happened that I invited friends using a formula like : feel free to come in my house whenever you want. Same meaning ?

Come in Europe 🙂
