Oh, I’ve never played CS 1.6 so I can’t directly comment but the main thing I hear is how different the mechanics are.

I imagine nostalgia plays no small role, as well.

They’re completely different games, but if you’re unfamiliar with the Counter-Strike series I can see how it can be confusing.

Counter-Strike 1.6 refers to the original game in the series, which ran on the GoldSrc engine. The “1.6” refers to the final release of this game from 2000.

The next installments in the series were Counter-Strike: Source (2004) and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (2012) which both ran on the Source engine.

Counter-Strike 2 was released in 2023, as an update replacing CS:GO. It runs on the Source 2 engine, which is to what the “2” in the name is referring.

Anyone else get confused by the apparent contradiction between the title and the short description?

Here’s a excerpt from the article that accurately describes the AG’s (ridiculous) stance:

[…]according to Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, having a basic phone, or a phone with no data on it, or no phone at all in the year 2024, is evidence of criminal intent.

Oh sorry, my reading comprehension is clearly lacking :P I’ve been eyeing LibreWolf for a while, but I’m mostly too lazy to switch my addons over.

Mozilla is shitty, so you’re opting for Google instead? That’s like saying the air quality is bad, and opting to jump in the ocean and drown.

As someone also near the border between Gen Z and Millennial, I relate a lot to this comment. I was also the family tech kid, and since like middle school I’ve always told people “I’m not good with computers, I just know how to use a search engine”

My “computer literacy” is literally just basic research skills; knowing how to formulate a web search and how to identify bad sources.

I’ve been using KeePassXC for a while, I like it much better than the official client. But even the official client’s download page give you a list of alternative clients.
