Okay, that is confusing. Do you need a special client or something from them to be able to access websites or what? I couldn’t figure it out (probably because I’m dumb).

I don’t ever really go back to retro games much anymore, but I recently did come back to Devil Dice/XI (in Japan) and I just really like the arcade like mode where dice keep spawning until the board fills up and you lose. Pretty much the only mode I play since the AI cheat, I swear.

Damn, you’re right. I hate it when I could possibly be wrong.

They’re probably gonna laugh at the absurdity of the situation because some new popular language will come along and the AI will be back to pushing out broken code. That, or laugh because the code in well used languages will include a shit ton of vulnerabilities that wouldn’t be present if real devs had to double check code before pushing it out to the public.

Time to grab your popcorn and watch as all 3 people die within less than a year of the implant due to complications or them having accidentally lobotomized and running into danger head first.

If it’s something I really want and using crypt(dot)cc or whatever it is with the captcha like puzzles with the alien like creatures, I disable and make sure to re-enable when done. Otherwise I go away.

For other sites, if I cannot element destroy it and see the content, I’m outta there as fast as a deadbeat who just found out his girlfriend is pregnant.

Basically any site that they don’t have full control over/can’t buy favor from and has the ability to spread info they dislike, even if it’s something as simple as 2+2=4".

And if you’re looking for someone outside of China to blame for their internet shield, Cisco was responsible for helping them set it up.

Don’t know if it’s the greatest joy, but I absolutely adore the sound effect in the original borderlands where you set a Crimson Lance person on fire and they scream before being disintegrated after their health depletes. Sounds horrible, but it’s just a sound I think they did a really good job on.

Okay, but haven’t we already had this in the form of [ Insert Failed Game Here ] or Luanti?

I still like to believe that was a marketing gimmick to get people to spread the word about the movie and that they never actually intended to use that design because all publicity is good publicity. But knowing the fact it’s Paramount, I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if they actually thought that was a good design.

Damn. Wish that was standardized across clients.

I don’t know if different clients/instances/communities could play a role in how those work, but I don’t think I’ve ever really seen many working ones, at least as long as I’ve been using Voyager.

Pikmin 2.

There are a couple of bosses in that game I absolutely hate to this day and do not like whatsoever. One returned from the original and one is a variant of it. Every game has had a variant of that shall which not be named. Any other arachnophobes probably know what I’m talking about without needing to mention the name.

I had some prior knowledge before playing by watching someone online play the demo quite a bit, so it didn’t take me long to figure out. The major problem I have is that I don’t remember which hands are better between straight and flush and around there, but that’s easily mitigated by the run button thing on the side.

Security is temporary. Nothing is safe.

I swear, standardization kills fun and creativity.

Tyson out here creating absolutely amazing character designs. Totally love this one, definitely up there with Dashie.

Imagine that! Popular game makes a ton of money and scam companies make shameless ripoffs to try and cash in on it? Never happened before and never will! /s

I am not 100% sure on the exact year, but some time in the mid, possibly late, 2000s is when I think my family ditched it.

All I know is I have memories of it being somewhere around 2011-12 and not wanting to have the router moved out of my grandma’s room because mine was directly below hers, which narrows it down to probably before 2010. Didn’t live outside society, either.

I don’t know whether I have the original or remaster, but I personally believe New Super Lucky’s Tale is a pretty fun game.
