Y’know, I keep reading about this but what’s the point? My kids talk to their stuffies anyway, and usually about way more interesting shit than the CCP. Imagination is wild.

Ugh.

At least Arial exists. And Helvetica. But Times New Roman? What is this, English class in the early aughts? 12pt font, double spaced with one inch margins?

Hell, if you want wanna make America great again make it Courier; tech bros’ll think you’re coding but we know you really just want to take us back to late 1800s when typewriters and bad economic policy were in. Or maybe something appropriate for this administration, like Wingdings.

Hell yeah.

Oh, I was so into UT but not for the reason everyone else was in middle school. I loved level editing and I made stages for friends. UT editor was subtractive and it was more intuitive, plus I had oodles of graph paper to plan out levels during class time when I was supposed to be paying attention.

You telling me those images of Trump swimming through flood waters to save people in a hurricane haven’t already swayed voters? Lol

Truth be told it’d be weird if that part said literally anything else. “Supporters say it’s over her potty training videos.”

Sure enough the vast majority are Republican shithole states, although Virginia and Arizona are a surprise.

It’s not that it’s immortal to want IDs for porn (although GOP generally is immortal), it’s just so… technologically stupid. The red states are stupid states.

I’ve seen worse. Idk why I always check when one of you folks say this, I almost always regret it but I hit those comments as people were mostly bashing ICE. Lol

I was checking this year and most of the things I want from a few years ago are still at 50%. But I don’t have enough time to play everything so I won’t likely pirate new stuff even though I very much know how to do so safely.

Hell, new games aren’t even competing with just each other- I’ve had a blast playing a lot of PS2 and PSP this year. When you don’t give in to hype and peer pressure, you’ve got near limitless options for entertainment.

And with that, I make like John Galt and never see that uncle again.

Fuckin’ rad.

I was just a tiny bit too young to get into it properly, as my brother and I would turn off enemies and just explore the world in that game (I loved vents and secret door). Instead, I got heavily into its level maker.

I was 9. Lol

Wow. I see now why experts are saying that was written by Russia, at least in part. Especially the parts clearly steered by Russian propaganda like the Nazi thing. Also 50% to the US? That’s really, really stupid.

Some corporations do this with product releases. If misinformation leaks, they can narrow it down. Moreover, since no one knows for sure their info is genuine, they’re less likely to leak. It’s usually trivial things that won’t impact performance but sometimes stuff like video game endings and stuff, lol.

Nice, earlier this year I wanted to to likewise but with Professor Oak challenges, which is get every Pokemon as early in progression we possible. I did it on Blue but it was quite miserable grinding lvl 36 Blastoise fighting only lvl 6 stuff prior to the first badge.

Suffice to say I took a break after that, but I’ll hit Silver next. Fast forward on emulation was a godsend, as well as achievement tracking for keeping track of how many more I had to grab before the next badge (it got really weird because you can skip Lt Surge and just keep going without the HM lol)

Ah that’s a while back. Makes me wonder when they started getting that accusation of being liberal and what kind of coverage that was. Bush era?

Maybe, although your standard “we have this congressmen to talk about the last thing Trump did” just depends. It’s usually like, whoever is on some committee, so if it’s an R they bullshit the interview, if it’s a D, the world is ending. It only feels a bit overcorrected if they don’t push back on the bullshit, but the last interview I heard did include that. Just not always.

Still a majority of the programming is like, “this random town has an annual event that’s weird but cool, but it’s under threat from climate change” which is just like… apolitical if you understand facts.

NPR is definitely making out like a bandit, they were using the loss of funding in their fundraising lately so they kinda get two wins in a sense.

Odd thing to me is it never even changed their coverage much even after the cuts, they’ve always both-sides with guests since they’re the go-to with standing politicians, a little more than half being Republicans. The left leaning thing mostly just comes from facts having a liberal bias, as they say. Lol

I agree we don’t know if they’re loss leaders yet. I will say that even if the hardware is priced at a loss, though, it’ll sell more Steam games. Ultimately I don’t know if it really matters.

Though yeah, people should get past headlines. Lol

Before the Internet got social media, we had the GameFAQs voting thing; you’d get head to head popularity contests of coolest characters. Cloud always won, but it was nice to check daily to see who was most popular.

I still use GameFAQs, though. Even after the buyout, the guides are important to those of us RetroAchevement-ing through some older titles.

This is such a weird timeline. Or maybe not, I guess I could also imagine Mr. Rogers doing what Ms. Rachel’s been doing.

Haha, your quote is almost the exact line I’ve read. HR email was literally saying how they should talk to them first and about them failing. Lol
