the real money auction house was a mistake that ruined drops but I’m right there with you, I’d play day 1 D3 over the current mess if I could.

I don’t think there’s anything I wouldn’t revisit that still exists.

So things like Diablo 3 vanilla. man, fuck whoever thought of balance patching single player games.

or WoW BC, it’s the people and excess free time of youth that made it good so it will never exist again.

Maybe Shenmue 2 import. I finished that game without knowing a word of Japanese, that’s a lot of time investment I’m glade I made but wouldn’t want to repeat …

It worked when the N64 controller was considered good.

So it never worked? ayyylmao.

White cars and pork barrelling, name a more iconic duo.

Eve is a hardcore full loot PvP game with real stakes, if that isn’t your jam then Eve isn’t.

The moment to moment game play is garbage but it’s those moments of risking it all for glory that still get the heart racing and the hands shaking no matter how seasoned you are that’s something literally no other game has been able to do for me.

I hope you at least played with friends because I couldn’t think of anything worse or more boring than joining a large faceless null sec feeder corp and grinding PvE for a year in peace time.

I couldn’t think of an amusement park MMO that would allow me to sit on a wormhole all day listening for an activation and watching youtube and not feel like I’m wasting money by not playing. the beautiful thing about eve is it requires as much of your time and attention as you’re willing to give and it never feels like you’re not progressing.

Eve online because I hate myself

Terrorists?

I recently found out Nokia required Nokia phones. so we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.

They tell the platforms to implement it and fine them for not doing it

Stop calling it an under 16 ban

it’s age verification for fucking everyone

and the best part is Albo is losing preferred prime minister polls to a fucking potato because of this nonsense

right? I already have the ones I give a shit about … On my shelf where they can’t de-list them.

Blizzard has QA? is this the Onion?

how much was all this audio equipment? literally nothing compared to the cost of the cables to hook it all up with.

I think 3d printers would be the best example.

patents where invented to protect trade secrets with the result of making them public being an unavoidable consequence. I didn’t mean to make it sound like I agree with intellectual property of any kind just to say there are good reasons and good outcomes. The internet doesn’t tend to be the place to discuss nuance however.

there can be a very good case made for putting private innovation into the public realm after a period of legal protections, (typically 20 years for most places)

but anything that is public by it’s very nature should never be subject to patents

wait for the room cleaning stream first

literally the only apology video I’ve ever believed was an apology.

Saying NMS delivered is pure copium. It has become a great game in it’s own right but it’s not the game we bought into at launch and never will be.

any sufficiently stupid action is indistinguishable from malice

Was this not already well known? I feel like this was very well known amongst anyone in any blizzard game community at the time.

it’s Hot Drop O’Clock …

Not arguing for communism

This is one of those feedback loops. Communism threatens the current system so you are told repeatedly that it’s a bad thing.

and it doesn’t help that Communists refuse to learn from the mistakes of the 20th century.

… Not arguing for communism either but can I interest you in a black flag?

Use an authenticator or Yubi key. SMS authentication is the worst possible method.

Settings>Do not disturb>exceptions>Caller in contacts

alt: Set default ringtone to silent, no vibration, Set people in contacts to custom ringtones.

I always answer the phone.

Because if you’re not in my contacts my phone doesn’t even ring.

Star Sector

Nintendo game and watch collection (so I can save the high score but the original Donkey Kong hardware would be fine too)

As long as StyroPyro is still able to show us how to use microwave transformers to create death rays I’m fine with the actual weapons industry losing a source of advertising.
