“List all notable video game characters”

Oh cmon

Might as well ask someone to list the top songs of every year since the 80’s.

Edit nvm it’s not even characters, just games.

Pong is from like 1972.


So… Theyre complaining that his own time he put in was a donation worth over 500€ and he failing to disclose that, he’s made a mistake that can result in… dismissing the whole movement?

Seriously. How is it possible every fucking day there’s something that just steps over the line, despite the line moving every day.

It’s beyond impossible to do any sort of political satire currently ffs


Cute petition, but sadly you can be absolutely certain it ain’t going nowhere

“Not going anywhere” isn’t the same as “completely meaningless”


There’s a whole bunch of shows I may or may not have illegally downloaded, which then were cancelled due to lack of interest or something. If I could’ve made a direct donation to influence that, I’d have happily contributed like 100€ for the shows to continue.


HMD, Human Mobile Devices. Afaik a lot of them are former Nokia. Or it’s a light rebrand and not a new corp. Dk. Some connection though





I was stoll using the first wireless one as a BT controller to play switch games last year. The battery gave out imo, otherwise zero issues.


Idk man.

29 years ago this came out.

The traditional controller for PS1 didn’t have joysticks. You needed a DualShock for that, or it’s predecessor the Dual Analog controller.

But yeah year or two here there, the DualShocks and PS controllers after that were very good controllers.

But those first decent ones came out more like at the turn of the millennium than halfway through the 90’s as you imply.

Back then it ps1 without joysticks and from 96 on N64 with extremely shitty joysticks. Gamecube came out in 2001 and Nintendo had clearly learned it’s lesson — to an extent.


minus the TERF nonsense, and wizards shitting on the floor.

I get the TERF stuff, but why go after such a highly regarded part of official canon lore?


the OG NCC-1701 Enterprise with your pals.

If only had VR still. And pals…

Seemed like great larping. I would’ve jizzed at the chance of something like that 25 years ago when I was doing just that essentially, but the GPU was just imagination. Now it’s like half real and I have zero friends (period) who would be willing to play something like that.


I probably will, yeah.

Or I was going to. Would’ve got 5070 ti, but didn’t have luck with the stock when it came out then drank most of the money, thought to give it a bit of time.

I’m gonna wait a few months to see how this turns out after 5060ti comes out and whatnot.



I think you forget not everyone lives in the same place and under the same marketing that you do.

“Ethnocentrism”, I believe it’s called.


This is word for word what people said when the 40-series came out.

“this Gen definitely sucks. Just get a 3080”



a nazi salute is pretty much anti-everyone, man.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

There seems to be additional settings though? I’m still on android 14 (oneui 6.1, had huawei up until last week or so). So perhaps they put Wifi and mobile data separately under that arrow?

Can you draw down different menus based on whether you draw from left or the right side of the top of the screen? (I had that in huawei as default for a long time now but had to enable it on this samsung)


That’s probably your mobile connection? Are you translating or does an English android say “Internet”?

What’s the symbol?

There’s also an option you can turn on that allows you pulling the menu down from the right side of the top of the screen, and you get the whole menu. I tried linking but for some reason I haven’t been able to upload images with my new phones for some reason. And then pulling down from the left side will just bring down the normal menu.

You can also reorganise the tiles so you have your most used in the quick bar.




You’re entirely right.

But see if the political view is only held by members or a certain religious group (even if not all members of said religion accept said political thought), it’s easy to conflate it, so that you can ban anyone opposing said political thought based on “they’re discriminating against me because of my religion”.

Fuck twitch.


I’d assume there’d be at least someone there who’s job it is to “research” things to see if they’re to be banned or not.

Like the person who would’ve had to read the Harry Potters.



To put it to perspective Star Citizen’s Kickstarter started on 2012. GTA 5 released on 2013, and GTA 6 is supposed to be out in 2025. If it doesn’t get delayed too significantly we will get 2 full GTA games before SC is released.

To put that in perspective, you just pretty much shower how developing GTA 6 has taken just as long, pretty much.

The release full games, so going from one release to the next measures basically the timeline of developing one game.


As someone who’s enjoyed league and Overwatch for years, I like it.

I mean, the inherent annoying thing in moba is the farming, but aside from that.

Smite 1 I used to play a bit and it’s reminiscent, but much better. The movement feels good.

There are threads which are sharing game invites to the playtest. And technically I can invite people too


I think Valve would disagree.

~60k players on Deadlock yesterday, ~100k today. Probably more tomorrow. It’s still in playtest.



See but the question isn’t “originated”.

It’s “popularised”.

Which Mario clearly did, outpassing both “Galaxian” and Crash in terms of popularity.

I know that Crash is bigger for you, but in the big picture, comparing Mario to Crash is like comparing Pokemon to Digimon.

https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Mario

The main core series, Super Mario, began with the platformer game Super Mario Bros. (1985) on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The main games consist of Mario trying to rescue Princess Peach from the villain Bowser and saving the Mushroom Kingdom.

As of June 2024, the Mario video game franchise has sold more than 900 million units worldwide, making it the best-selling video game franchise of all time. The main Super Mario series alone has sold more than 495 million copies worldwide.

Super Mario Bros. 1985 NES, estimated revenue $1,652,300,000

Have to scroll quite far down this list https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_game_franchises to find Crash.


Fair enough.

My point is that the reason you played this game so much is that it existed because of Super Mario.

Thus the answer to OP’s question in relation to this would be Super Mario Bro’s, from which Crash is derived.


So like the other person said, specific camera things in the genre, not the genre itself.

Which would be more accurate, since the genre existed for years pre-RE4


100 Apples > 1 Life, and you could grind more to make some levels more forgiving, like semi-adjustable difficulty level based on your previous approach… And later on — warp zones, you get to choose from a few options so the progression has variation.

100 coins = 1UP and warp zones? And… you think they’re from Crash Bandicoot?


What are you smoking? That’s like a 2005 game.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-person_shooter

Jonathan S. Harbour of the University of Advancing Technology argues that Tomb Raider (1996) by Eidos Interactive (now Square Enix Europe) is “largely responsible for the popularity of this genre”.

Hell, Max Payne was definitely more popular, and it came out in 2001.



This feels hard, I’m sure.

Anyone who’s actually had to be alone for decades though…


No-one has suggested Baldur’s Gate 3?
