I remember Windows XP being a headache era indeed. Thief was quite complicated to install, requiring bypassing a 16 bit installer, hunting certain codecs down, and other bits of fun. Needless to say, it is much nicer nowadays where we have tools and gadgets to handle such issues.

Heh, I remember the era where viruses were far more potent. Definitely not a safe time on the internet, it felt like every other step was a minefield back then, even with a virus scanner. I can understand your feelings on nostalgia, even the pain. After all, that is pretty much how I am about stuff like Elder Scrolls Arena. I hated the experience, but enjoy the memories I got, and the same can be said about Daggerfall. I have nostalgia for spamming the rest button for an hour while you watched me walk across the barren plains and constantly pause. X-Wing will be similar one day if I get interesting things to happen. Just for right now, it is the game I am playing and therefore terrible.

Every game has its flaws. I am highly critical of all flaws, perhaps of games I love even more, and so Thief is a game where you would hear a lot of ranting on something I say I highly enjoy. But I can accept the flaws as the overall experience is worth it and the flaws are minor in comparison. Perhaps X-Wing will get better after training. But for right now, that is the game I have seen, never ending navigation of "The Maze" and being bored to death.

Yeah, I tend to be pretty bad with completion related tasks. The only thing I tend to ignore is things with absolutely no relevance, such as arcade games, where it just doesn't matter to replay stage after stage of the same thing. I get pretty dedicated when it comes to discographies, I tend to refuse to put a band on my music player unless I have listened to everything they did up to that point in chronological order. I should mention I tried Therion twice, meaning I did the entire discography twice, just to see if it could grow on me. I am curious how you would find the rest of the discography, you essentially skipped over the entire era where the male vocalist sang songs, including the atrocious voice he started using near the end. Secrets of the Runes is worthy of checking out, it has a lot of dull points, but some songs that are actually interesting for once. Sirius B / Lemuria is just boredom. Depending on how much you love Gothic Kabbalah, I would recommend the next album Sitra Ahra, since it is essentially more songs in a similar style. The Miskolc Experience is pretty much entirely pointless unless you want to hear them chant in German and feel like you are wasting your life. Les Fleurs du Mal is more pointless boredom in another genre, as is the Luciferian Light Orchestra.

I never generally read them, you just chose the one day I decided to kill most of my day by doing such.
