Foi a escolha certa.</p><p>Meu primeiro contato com a franquia foi com Quake II, daquela revista Full Games.</p><p>Por conta disso, a primeira vez que joguei um pouco do primeiro game, estranhei um pouco por conta dos gráficos (inclusive, no início dos anos 2000, era um dos poucos jogos disponíveis nativamente para Linux).</p><p>Mas assim com aconteceu com Mortal Kombat I, esse primeiro jogo da franquia Quake ganhou uma aura especial para mim.

<p>Here&#x27;s a <a href="/tags/hangtrek/" rel="tag">#HangTrek</a> extra. This is a <a href="/tags/startrektos/" rel="tag">#StarTrekTOS</a> quote. It&#x27;s very well-known. But I&#x27;ve been thinking it&#x27;s too long &amp; involved for the usual. So instead I&#x27;m going to leave it here with no polls &amp; no further hints. If no one has guessed this by the time I run the next HangTrek, I may use this.

E, hoje, já não permite mais a compra de nenhum DLC de forma avulsa.</p><p>Ou seja: se você quiser os conteúdos adicionais, como os trocentos carros dos DLCs, compensa mais pegar a edição Ultimate.</p><p>Disseram que é praxe a Microsoft remover jogos antigos dessa franquia das lojas digitais, supostamente por causa da expiração do licenciamento de marcas e músicas.</p><p>O que gosto na franquia Forza é a possibilidade de jogar com marcha manual e embreagem. Além disso, na visão do cockpit, é bem divertido dirigir nas pistas com chuva, neve e poças d&#x27;água.</p><p>Na versão Ultimate, é carro que não acaba mais:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngHAyNYmN2k" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngHAyNYmN2k"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngHAyN</span><span class="invisible">YmN2k</span></a></p><p>Só de Ferrari, são 43 carros</p><p>Tem até o Warthog do Halo :-P </p><p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/0u8iYJa.png" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>i.imgur.com/0u8iYJa.png</a></p><p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/fHrlhi2.png" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>i.imgur.com/fHrlhi2.png</a></p><p><a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1293830/Forza_Horizon_4/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="store.steampowered.com/app/1293830/Forza_Horizon_4/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">store.steampowered.com/app/129</span><span class="invisible">3830/Forza_Horizon_4/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/games/" rel="tag">#Games</a> <a href="/tags/steam/" rel="tag">#Steam</a> <a href="/tags/forzahorizon4/" rel="tag">#ForzaHorizon4</a> </p><p><a href="/tags/neodb/" rel="tag">#NeoDB</a></p>

Primeiro, numa breve partida na Fenasoft do mesmo ano.</p><p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/UbuYGIb.jpeg" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>i.imgur.com/UbuYGIb.jpeg</a></p><p>Depois, comprei uma caixinha chamada &quot;Half-Life Generation&quot;, que vinha com 4 CDs: &quot;Half-Life&quot; (&quot;o jogo necessário para rodar CS&quot;), &quot;Opposing Force&quot;, &quot;Blue Shift&quot; (expansões) e &quot;Couter Strike&quot;.</p><p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/u9jfElP.jpeg" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>i.imgur.com/u9jfElP.jpeg</a></p><p>No dia em que o pedido chegou, estava num churrasco de confraternização da firma. Depois de ficar levemente alcoolizado e cantar &quot;Chopis Centis&quot; (Mamonas Assassinas) no karaokê, voltei para casa no final da tarde.</p><p>Ansioso e ainda sobre o efeito do álcool, tentei abri-lo com a chave de casa (o resultado pode ser conferido na foto do estojo original). Felizmente, os CDs ficaram intactos.</p><p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/BCgeTUu.jpeg" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>i.imgur.com/BCgeTUu.jpeg</a></p><p>Passei a jogá-lo ainda com conexão discada, de 56 Kbps. Nas salas de bate papo do lobby conheci um grande amigo do RJ, que hoje mora em Portugal. Chegamos até a fazer parte de um &quot;clan&quot; (time).

<p>Something to SNS providers and software can learn from the gaming industry is name filters.</p><p>Majority, if not all, online <a href="/tags/games/" rel="tag">#games</a> implement a RegExp-based or manual input name blocklist. In the socmed landscape, software like Mastodon should implement it to prevent any handles **and** display names with &quot;Mastodon&quot; in it.</p><p>Instance admins and moderators should be able to add new entries as they see fit. They can choose between RegExp matching or manual input.</p><p>It is an effective way to minimize fake accounts pretending to be the platform, instance, service, and/or software. For example, the Mastodon **software** is currently being bombarded by fake accounts about &quot;Mastodon account verification&quot;, with &quot;Mastodon&quot; in either their handle or display name, or both.</p><p>Other social media software and platforms should implement it as well. Of course, it is not the ultimate solution, but it at least adds another layer to enable admins and moderators to fight against scammers and phishers pretending to be official accounts or channels.</p><p>Tags: <a href="/tags/sns/" rel="tag">#SNS</a> <a href="/tags/socmed/" rel="tag">#SocMed</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/socialweb/" rel="tag">#SocialWeb</a> <a href="/tags/opensocial/" rel="tag">#OpenSocial</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/bluesky/" rel="tag">#Bluesky</a> <a href="/tags/atmosphere/" rel="tag">#ATmosphere</a> <a href="/tags/moderation/" rel="tag">#Moderation</a></p>
