old days of the interwebs is like late 80s/early 90s, before centralized game servers were a thing. On the rare cases of fully online games (original Neverwinter Nights and other MUDs and MMORPGs), mods and admins were known to enforce rules if they were online

Maybe what anon considers “normal” is early 2010s Dota/LoL/Heroes of Newerth, where winning meant getting called a “fucking cheating retard that doesn’t know how to play” and losing meant getting called a “stupid gay cunt retard n* piece of shit” and everyone was happy*

* everyone playing those games was absolutely miserable

I am Jeff. I still hate touchscreens with a passion. I still wish for Steve Jobs’ ghost to be stuck in limbo because he can’t select the appropriate “go to <wherever>” button because there’s only a 1" touchscreen to select and it always registers the wrong input.

Make smartphones with physical keyboards >20% of the market again

Is this some sort of loss i’m too dumb to get?

https://chestofbooks.com/crafts/index.html - has a bunch of stuff from old USA books and magazines. Seems that the Crafts section is the most impressive

Ah yes, I’m sure it was microslop who decided to make firefox add an AI the community voted against

small time pirates cannot afford that. Meta, OpenAI and similars can afford the lawyers

I recall a political cartoon back when Gaddafi was killed, it was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (then president of Iran) and Kim Jong Un watching the bombing of Lybia under USA flag, with one asking “What message do you get from this?”, and the other replying “Build more nukes!”

2mil yuan is roughly 292k dollars. No idea how much that is compared to other shipping costs

Prolly the same reason mainstream media “forgot” to mention Operation Cyclone back in late 2001 and early 2002, or how they intentionally swallowed the screamingly obvious bullshit of “Iraq has WMDs”

If I see it’s Unreal 5, I fully expect it to look like shit and perform weird, so it has some weight on my decision.

The article is only referring to the more recent price hikes caused by RAM shortage, so no wonder it feels like a cheap shot to say “ai bad”, which is correct, but misses the fucking forest - consoles are really expensive without offering that big of a “bang for your buck” as they once did decades ago, capitalism shifting most companies into whatever is the current most lucrative fad of the moment, companies fighting against players’ ownership of games in the form of “Live service battlepass with extra skins”, company heads demanding maximum profit

I’d be ok with a medium or small titty goth gf, too

Sussy name

Man, I’ll start telling that to my boss whenever I miss a deadline. “Sorry boss, the code I made is too powerful, we can’t release it”

Even a “cheap” macbook neo is way out of my league in regards to price. 7299 BRL, which is over 1400 USD, for the cheapest option (256gb drive. The 512gb version is 8499BRL, 1635 USD). With that much money, I can buy a laptop with a GTX 3060 and still have some money left.

Israel is the Tiananmen Square of most western media

Must be “Clown Car Vagina”, only because it reminds me of an old demotivational poster
