Many companies hoard IP like dragons hoard gold.

Going bankrupt? Cool, I’ll buy you for pennies on the dollar. What am I doing with your IP? I sit on it with the rest of my IP. Because maybe somewhere in the future I might make a little extra cash off of it. No, I do not intend to ever sell any of the media I own the rights to! I’m too greedy for that, you cannot even look at my IP!

And it plays out well instead of getting Geraldoed.

You account is self marked as a bot, but you seem like a human. If people enable filtering on bot content they won’t see your comment.

Their words matter. If they wanted to say that, then they should have said that. They didn’t say that. They said private Minecraft servers are IP infringement despite Microsoft explicitly allowing them. They’re fools.

Jongus and the Big Bungus 2

Preventing light from getting in will help. Opening it is really tricky to say. Depends on the ac. Best bet is to try both approaches and see. Opening and closing is easy. Bit the paper or foil WILL help. Especially if it gets a lot of sun.

Honestly, taking off my nostalgia goggles here, I’m gonna say the Switch. Handheld and TV usage in one device was amazing. It’s got its problems, yeah, and Nintendo is not really an admirable company, but it was nice.

With my nostalgia goggles on, PS2, no question. Because it was a PS2 AND a PS1. Never played PS3, barely played 360. By that time I was basically a full PC gamer. My original one broke (don’t remember how), so I got the slim one. it’s crazy durable, I think because it has a lot less moving parts. I tried to do some hot swap disk stuff with it, so I had to use clamps to hold it shut lol, but it still worked. Never could get the disk swap to work.

If we include handhelds, then I think it’s the Gameboy Advance SP. Rechargeable and backlit was a crazy innovation. (Yes yes, I know in Japan there was a version of a Gameboy that was backlit.)

The OG Gameboy pocket I had was shit. It was my first gaming thing ever though. So hard to see. Gameboy color was fine. Just not really as amazing as Advance. GBA loses to SP though. As for DS, I don’t know, I never had a beef with it, but I feel like the jump from color to advance wasn’t quite as big to me as advance to DS. Plus, the DS was sort of the beginning of Nintendo’s weird gimmick era. I’d call the Wii U the end. So many motion controls…

I had a PS4, but didn’t play too much on it. Basically just Ratchet, God of War 2018 and Ragnarok, and Death Stranding. It didn’t feel any better than a computer to me. At least the Switch is unique in that it can be portable.

Oh, I agree, it’s definitely important. But that’s sort of where the grift comes in. You mix the valid concerns with fear mongering and upcharges. I use ecc (or whatever it’s called) for my ssh keys, not RSA.

I am not familiar with what you’re talking about. It may well could have been presented as a visual novel, but only in the sense that you click through it. My recollection was that it was a corporate training thing (which have similar layouts to visual novels lol). As far as AI generated backgrounds though, I don’t think so. Memories are not reliable, of course, but I’m fairly certain this was pre pandemic. AI images existed then, but it was mostly the dog-filled deep dream images and sketchy dall-e stuff. Maybe it used that, it’s not impossible, but it wasn’t really at the level of quality back then where you’d be tempted to use it over stock images.

I think the program had something to do with fire diamonds, those 45° offset squares with numbers in the top three corners to give a quick overview of dangerous materials are.

I could’ve sworn there was some instructional game in steam for like $10k or something. Maybe it was less and/or has since been removed.

I think they probably made some real sakes, but a lot of people got refunded because they were confused and thought it wasn’t real. It’s been ages, the details are fuzzy.

Is your cloud Quantum Safe™?

Why do folks think quantum computing is a grift? I haven’t heard that yet.

The four great innovations

It’s a major pet peeve of mind when places get overly zealous about moderating what is on or off topic when the volume of posts doesn’t warrant it. Especially when there has already been some discussion on the posts.

Omg yessss that’s it lmaooo thank you so much!

“Splattered, splattered, splattered on the windshield of life!” I remember that song, but can’t find it. Also haven’t looked super hard recently. If I wasn’t busy I’d listen through the sound track, I’m guessing the title doesn’t match.

Isn’t this more or less what Truck Simulator is? I find the idea interesting, but I’d want some sort of goal. I could be really obtuse and say that Grand Theft Auto 5 is an open world driving game lol.

I like open world games. They get a bad rap because a lot of games that are sort of samey and sloppy use open world aspects, but I don’t think the open world aspect is the problem.

• Don’t discuss advertisements with friends like people did in the past

This one is big and I never noticed it until a few years ago. My wife and I never got cable when we moved into our own place. One time my mother in law was talking to my wife about some commercial and my wife just said she hadn’t seen it. My mother in law got really weirdly upset or something, like my wife was trying to be condescending or something. But she was talking about it the same way people might talk about a funny skit from a show. It wasn’t until being away from it for years that I realized how odd it is.

The post isn’t beating the allegations. Wanting to avoid political discussions is inherently political.
