It was a crude way to express an "era" for when it was released, because I couldn't be arsed googling for a release date.

It appears as though Fallout is an early 1997 game. Windows 3.x seemed to still be the dominant OS (or at least MS-DOS) at 52% of the market with Win95 accounting for 32%, so I would imagine that the game would still be built with 16-bit architectures in mind.

2009 just called and Armani Code is still a banger.

Jean Paul Gaultier is subjectively top quality too. His Fleur de Male is perhaps the best fragrance I've ever had.

That said, I'm still happy with Davidoff Cool Water so I'm hardly a modern fragrance critic.

It looks like a dialogue tree from the 16bit Fallout games.

Shame. I liked him as a character, thought he spoke a fair bit of shit on times, but the real beauty was getting an unfiltered answer every single time - a rarity these days.

Satisfying. I've been scarred by that GIF loop of that truck perpetually approaching the post, and to see the impact is like pulling the screen protector off a new TV. Bliss.

Absolute unit, well done friend! Here's to the quest for twenty!

No, but I suspect the last line qualifies it's inclusion, where her"status" and presence in the media field gave her an opportunity to amplify her story and provide the visibility it needed to get her freed.

It's like the SQL creators designed the syntax to achieve maximum fuckery for those where "test" and "live" are different words for the same thing.

I bet they were pissing themselves laughing when implementing the finicky ROLLBACK command, knowing it that it would be only ever be used in anger as a "hail Mary" from a dev halfway through writing his own resignation letter.

It's not real deployment if it isn't pushed straight to prod.

Test boxes are for communists and the French.

Haven't read the article because of that bullshit cookie-hostage stuff, but...

I think it's a multitude of things. Williams (or whatever it actually is these days) hooking up a pretty decent car, some good leadership in the squad, fantastic strat calls today, and the standard Albon throwing that car about like a stripper's bra and putting the car in rankings that it really has no business being.

Albon has been the standout guy for the past two years in the bottom half of the field, he's punching well above his weight. It's just a shame he sunk in a team with a notorious allergy to giving drivers time, alongside arguably the team favourite in Max.

I loved the Williams team as a boy and I have to keep telling myself they're a Williams in name only now, but I hope they "do a McLaren" and haul themselves up the grid again.
