True; haven't found a "confused" post, but quite some aggressive ones.

Not relevant; it will still be seen as "part of the site" and "I don't go there anymore".

In those moods, counting is not on my mind, unless it is in corpses.

Good enough, got the same reaction for offline.
Nelek wrote: I don't think so, but it still is your perception so it won't be that bad for you.
Perception is the worst; after loosing too much sleep, you first start hearing things, then you start seeing things on your walls. So no, not trusting that and verifying.

Not just mine, but a problem for CodeProject also. The site helped me once or twice to get a job. Many might mistake a user for an admin if it is bigmouthed; others' would have been put in time out if they were as rude as I was.

Shoulnd't come that far. That's like being a guest and being thrown out.
Nelek wrote: That said, I still think you should try to keep yourself "logical", avoiding getting so personal and follow the "standard netiquette" without insulting or fighting back that hard.
Good advice, but at those moments I don't have enough control to do so. The site hasn't changed, so logic dictates I changed. And I must change it back.

Was expensive, but got it as a gift.
Played it, and "free" is too expensive. I've played Shareware that's more inviting, demo's that go further.
An expensive DLC for Dutch rulers? Without additional mechanics?
No. Long time Civ fan ignoring Civ6.

That's too bad - I remember some of the older Civs as being some of the more fun out there. Ah well, I guess an end comes to every good civilization. 
At least you saved me a download after work. Thank you!

The older Civs didn't require you to download a DLC with your country. Compare the amount of countries in Civ1/2 against the new one.
I'm not paying for a change in variables.

Civ 4 can suck up a huge amount of my time. Haven't seen a need to go to any higher numbered one.

That's the new business model in many big games.
Free basic game, pay for all other things to customize.

The basic game is not free, but priced as a full game.

It is this week
But you are right... I meant like in Destiny 2. The game is free the DLC and Season Passes not.

Is life without the universal control like having rabbit ears without younguns?

I wonder how many folks here get that reference? Yes, I was a biological remote as a youngun.

I'm certainly old enough to remember rabbit ears, and old enough to also remember the family's first VCR came with a wired remote control.

Our first remote was an RCA 4 button ultrasonic type. I never remember having any issues with it, built like a tank if I recall.

Also bought my first unit - an RCA - back when the remote was wired. It was a demo model so I could afford it.
The remote was only for the physical control, like stop/start/record. Do you remember the channel knob? All of those click-stops on a single nob. Three speeds to choose from, as well. SP, LP, and SLP.
One of those things where the price of it and all relevant components (like tape) kept going down. Video tape from $15 to may a buck or so.
VHS ! No wussies BetaMax in the family.

I have a very distinct memory of a friend chastising me for buying VHS tapes, 'they're going dodo' he said, 'betamax is THE thing....blah blah blah'.

Several years ago, I saw a very heated discussion whether a wired remot classified as a remote.
A couple years from now we'll see the discussions repeated: If you don't do it through an app, but require a separate unit, can it then classify as a remote control?
Maybe not. Maybe the next definition of "remote" requires an app.
I never loved manipulating seven different remotes to manage my media world. But then: I also dislike my selection of another TV channel being sent to California to be effectuated. So I have mixed feelings, to say the least.
