Yeah, I can think of an oranger, worster candidate…

I, for one, welcome our new unelected , lifetime-appointed overlords.

Gotta agree with others that mentioned The Outer Wilds. I haven’t stopped thinking about that game in some capacity since I played it and the second (part? Game? DLC?) about 6 months ago. I never looked up anything before or during play, but loved reading all about it after finishing them.

It bears repeating…Do not read/watch anything about this game online. The best way to experience it is through discovery and I wish I could wipe the experience from my memory just to experience it again!

Other notable mentions are…

• Dead Space for it’s integrated menus and systems that never take you out of the game.
• Prey (the Indigenous People one) for the unique story.
• Amnesia: The Dark Descent for the story, voice acting, and fear.

There are other games to mention, but my kid just came in and broke my train of thought.

I can’t dance!🥲

And if a company makes a negligent decision, which kills a million people over time, why is no one being put on death row? They can and do have it both ways, but I can still wish for a just world where if companies are people, they can be put to death for mass casualties caused by their decisions.

Dialed up to Windows 11!

Google is next!

Thanks for setting me straight. I’ll edit my post to reflect that.

Edit: see comment from @Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works below this.

Throughout history, America has chosen to ignore warnings of impending attacks. Australia notified the US about the Japanese fleet movement and, if I remember, even predicted the target was Hawaii. They did nothing to stop that attack in order up get the US into the war to help Europe when isolationism in the population was making the idea of getting into the war unpalatable.

In the cat and mouse game, the cat can adjust tactics but the mice eventually figure out an alternative route. I’m sure they will find a way with this. Either that or a lot of people will just stop watching YouTube, I’d imagine.

I’d imagine YouTube subtracts the ad length from posted timestamps when clicking a link containing one. But we are taking about Google, soooooo…

Yeah right, we all know you have a single copy of digital items and you can either put it here or there, but not both. That’s why NFTs were such a success! /s

I just destroyed the toilet in my IL college’s bathroom!

You’re thinking of a super soaker!

Depending on how the US elections go in November, Americans may soon find out.

…(which I’ll admit I thought was a scam back when I was forced to make an account way back when I had dial up)…

Oh man, I cursed Valve and Steam back then. It effectively made LAN parties of the time impossible since you could no longer share media and needed Internet access to play. Back then, only business had the “fast” Internets while everyone else had 56k baud modems. Hard to do much when your max download speed for the entire connection was 5kb/s.

I have saved this reply for the near future when I rebuild my server box to run Linux! Thanks again for your knowledge and information!

I’ll take a look at it, thanks!

Ahh the early 2000s. What a time to be a teenager with new tech, a dialup network, and bootleg videos that occasionally contained someone’s browser or a floating mouse or a separate video that briefly starts playing over the screen-capped video!

Back when the Internet was new and not a dying corpse, drained of all it’s essence by monied interests!

Question, if a square on your bingo card is titled, “collapse of society,” can I still use it for this?
