That's only for the 4-man dungeons. You still need to run the Crystal Tower raid, for example.

Yep, nothing to see here, no regular, ongoing support to a 20 year old game of the non-subscription variety at all. Warcraft 3 (from 2003) was similarly updated well into 2019.

Now, most regular games only get 2 or 3 years of attention.

> Along come NFTs, with potential permanent ownership... but gamers despise that idea, too.

Oh no, how dare we despise things that anyone can see will not work as advertised.


That's only regular if you ignore the 8 years of no updates between patch 1.16.1 in January 2009 to 1.18 in 2017. The same year they released Remastered to sell people. They've since also added cosmetics in skins and voice announcers: https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/family/starcraft-remastered

Similarly Warcraft 3 had a 5 year gap between 1.26b in 2011 and 1.27a in 2016, which was probably about when they started development for Reforged, announced in 2018.


Even ignoring the patches after the gaps, that's still 1998 to 2009 and 2003 to 2011, so both much larger time spans than the parent poster's claim that nobody ever does that.


StarCraft is a bit special with so much e-sports attention. I wouldn't necessary compare other games to it.


Starcraft is the exception rather than the rule. If you take a random sample of 20 year old games I'd wager that in the vast majority of samples none of them will have received updates in the last 15 years.


Adding to that list, most valve games (even half life 1 from 1996) still getting updates today, and indie game terraria released in 2011 which got big content updates over a decade.


If we are going to mention Terraria, we should also talk about Minecraft. I purchased it in 2009 and I'm still getting new content on a regular basis today. It's true that they have a subscription offering through Realms at this point, but it's entirely optional.


I'd love to see the % of games that got the same love as starcraft.


> typing into the search bar is laggy and I on a daily basis arrow down to select a previously used URL, hit enter, and then find that Safari moved my selection up or down

I had this. It went away when I stopped using the tab groups.

It's a shame because I _liked_ the tab groups, but I like not being annoyed by a stupid search bar bug more.


For extra pain, you can go at the text above with your browser's devtools and change the font-family to something funny like Comic Sans MS.

Turns out text rendering _really_ does hate you.


Much like the few US-based news sites that already decided to just not bother and show me the "you're coming from the EU and we can't be bothered to not collect your data" blank page instead.

At which point I'm free to decide I wasn't interested in their content anyway.


The catapult still invokes visions of "throwing shit at the wall until something sticks", so it is still not the worst name :)


So it's the regular smart TV just its smartness - any any useful ports you'd want from a TV - comes in two parts?

I'm not sure that's what the parent commenter was asking for.


You can't though, can you?

You need at least 3 for the first one - 1 to get the info on the murder which is just text, 2nd to get the interviews (which aren't connected to the murder info, though they probably should), and then you can get to the solution in one big query.


1. Inspect triggers 2. Find people


You can, if you are James T. Kirk.


Feels super ironic you choose to describe Apple users as a "cult" in a reply to a guy that sneaks his "Safari is the new IE5" in every response... ;)


> You do not have to start a new project from scratch. It’s perfectly fine to submit something you have previously created yourself. Maybe it’s something you work on in your spare time, just for yourself!

Yeah, no, nobody is or should be giving you their own personal work. It's offensive and probably illegal that you'd even ask.

> The novelty and creativity of your submission

Yeah, no.
