For anyone looking for the spider, it’s easier to see with the original
I think it would be similar to Office.
For example, there would be Windows with a subscription for the activation key. You would continue to get a period of free use (14 or 30 days maybe) before requiring an activation key.
Manufacturers would bundle new hardware purchases with 24 months of credit or something like that, so most people wouldn’t notice a change at first.
However, Windows “Classic” would still exist and allow one-off purchases, but may have some limitations to updates or features over time.
TIL that aeroplane is commonwealth english.
District 9
An Interstate 76 sequel/remake with modern graphics, physics, controls, etc.
The vehicle combat in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 gave me a bit of a glimpse of that.

Additional veterinary reports show the condition of a female monkey called “Animal 15” during the months leading up to her death in March 2019. Days after her implant surgery, she began to press her head against the floor for no apparent reason; a symptom of pain or infection, the records say. Staff observed that though she was uncomfortable, picking and pulling at her implant until it bled, she would often lie at the foot of her cage and spend time holding hands with her roommate.
Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers. Her condition deteriorated for months until the staff finally euthanized her. A necropsy report indicates that she had bleeding in her brain and that the Neuralink implants left parts of her cerebral cortex “focally tattered.”
First game was Safari Race on a Sega SC-3000. After that mainly played PC games when they were a thing and had a 1st gen Gameboy.
I gave up on games and tried to adult through my 20s… but after a bad breakup I bought an Xbox-360 and Skyrim and it’s been a hobby ever since.
