The fact that adults still believe in tech support is crazy to me.

As a Brazilian, the criminal part is, unfortunately, the truest. Second only to our grannies wielding a Flip flop on a hand

old days of the interwebs is like late 80s/early 90s, before centralized game servers were a thing. On the rare cases of fully online games (original Neverwinter Nights and other MUDs and MMORPGs), mods and admins were known to enforce rules if they were online

Maybe what anon considers “normal” is early 2010s Dota/LoL/Heroes of Newerth, where winning meant getting called a “fucking cheating retard that doesn’t know how to play” and losing meant getting called a “stupid gay cunt retard n* piece of shit” and everyone was happy*

* everyone playing those games was absolutely miserable

Ah yes, I’m sure it was microslop who decided to make firefox add an AI the community voted against

If I see it’s Unreal 5, I fully expect it to look like shit and perform weird, so it has some weight on my decision.

The article is only referring to the more recent price hikes caused by RAM shortage, so no wonder it feels like a cheap shot to say “ai bad”, which is correct, but misses the fucking forest - consoles are really expensive without offering that big of a “bang for your buck” as they once did decades ago, capitalism shifting most companies into whatever is the current most lucrative fad of the moment, companies fighting against players’ ownership of games in the form of “Live service battlepass with extra skins”, company heads demanding maximum profit

Man, I’ll start telling that to my boss whenever I miss a deadline. “Sorry boss, the code I made is too powerful, we can’t release it”

Yeah, I got the bullshit warning too, but you just put 2000 or any other year and you’re good to go. I will note though that neither cover shows Nod (red/black faction)

Goggles in the posters? I guess you’re referring to the cover art?

France pointing to… Syria? Seriously?

No, thanks

Slopya Nadella: “Oh no, people are complaining this is the worst windows ever! We must do something!”

and this is the result. /slowclap

a place with a ton of freedom to say what you liked would have more creative people?

Grave mistake, especially when you’re dealing with anons. You don’t even need 4chan anons, any place with complete anonymity and zero moderation will devolve into a horror show of the worst humankind can offer

Usually the UI, character limit per post (mastodon is 500, misskey-like tend to be 5000) and reactions - misskey lets instances create custom reactions, like those you can see on discord servers

I don’t think i’ve ever managed to finish those fucking flight training missions.

Shit, I keep forgetting I had that game, the controls were fucking awful. I think I only ever managed to get to level 4 once or twice. It came with my console (along 13 other games, I think, including Crash 3, Mega Man Legends and Gran Turismo)

I only watched the movie some 3 years after first playing the game, when it aired on local TV. It was weird. I also recall reading somewhere that some movie game deals were made before the movies’ script was finished, so that would explain the game being completely “out of place”

I learned to avoid those early on, so I haven’t played many games based on mives.

Of the ones that i actually played, it must’ve been Batman Forever on SNES. I never figured how to get past that part in the first fucking level, where you’re expected to press up + select at a very specific spot

no one will ever suspect your masturbation aid is actually a jar full of noxious chemicals.

Oooohhh, that might explain the nonstop burn I’ve been feeling

There are mental effects at play, too. Men can get too anxious or, as I find more probable in anon’s case, too used to getting a lot of different visual stimulation

Anon probably discovered he can’t get hard for actual sex during one lucky opportunity
