I only fell for one of those maybe once or twice before I caught on. No money was lost though. just spam/adware

I did manage to get scammed and have my habbo hotel account stolen though, I was also a stupid kid.

I wasn’t dunking on the game, I only said I didnt play it, and otherwise, anything in the present that Krafton is associated with seems like something to avoid

The internet in the 2000s was like a WW1 Trenchline. Noise and graphic content everywhere and one wrong move could cost you life or limb.

I dont exactly remember when it started getting “safer” because I think the same time the internet was getting safer to browse, a lot of Millenial and Zillenial kids were getting smarter and otherwise learning how to not get malware and worms on their PC

the creation in the game is advanced, its the gameplay inbetween the character creator and house designer that I find to be hollow

Dumbass stole an odd number of shoes.

yeah cause you cant get one at your local best buy anymore, but someone will certainly harrass you into trying to buy a smart TV

Likely because those sites are built by the same provider.

I work for a car dealership and all of the other dealerships of the same brand in our region use the same family of providers, We -used- to have the faces of real employees pop up on the chat thing until they got too busy to handle it

now its the same stock photo of a person who likely doesnt even exist

Rose tinted glasses. Shopping online in 2005 was absolutely not as simple as 3 clicks.

you missed the part about broken links, pages that wouldnt load because of some random HTML error, oh, and the payment itself either getting rejected or otherwise not working for a long time.

I never cared for Subnautica I also never cared for PUBG

But what little I know about PUBG, What I’ve seen them do to Subnautica 2, and that lazy AI ridden “Sims killer” Inzoi, Im of the opinion Krafton are just hustlers.

He’s lived in a bubble his entire life. for 60 years he lived in an aristocrat’s bubble. and since he was in his mid to late 60s, he’s lived in one where he’s treated like a living god. He was raised by affluent , arrogant, racist and supremacist bastards, and that will never leave him.

remember a few weeks ago , if that. he had a fruedian slip and dropped an antisemetic remark when he was trying to talk about scammers or something?

these aren’t secretaries and ministers of organized government

it’s capos and yes men of organized crime.

That’s enough internet for today.

Valve bros dont need to worry about what happens in life after gaben, because I think gaben is going to ascend to cyberspace before the end.

how long is it going to take, before you realize its too late? if they didn’t realize by now, they aren’t going to

My Lai, except the thought police are already rolled out, and ready to prosecute/persecute anyone who complains.

The golden age of games, also happened to have publishers who were just that, publishers, not slave drivers commanding the market and shutting down studios every time they sneezed.

Bruh it’s 2025 and I’m still on a spin cycle of mostly 10 years old or more games

Im not upgrading my OS, and im not building or buying a new computer.

Im just going to ride it out until it explodes. the tech market is so messed up right now that I’ll end up paying more than what I did for my Machine in 2019, and it will be comparatvely, nowhere near as much as a performance jump as when I made the last switch from my 2012 build.

Cool

Epic Games store and Tim Sweeney are both still peices of shit.

I get it.

but the “Free Speech Absolutism” that Vance is talking about, demands the right to call you a N****R without consequences. Or say that you need to be killed because X Y Z.
