I miss when Paris Hilton was the most annoying thing on TV

In the future we’ll all be renting terminals while all processing is done on their hardware

Nice thanks :)

Issue numbers?

…until people make it an issue by speeding up and cutting people off, causing it to bottleneck

Depends. If there’s lots of traffic, yes. If it’s sparse enough that you can merge without slowing people down too much, just do it early.

“Whatever you’re eating, gimme some”

It’s happened twice now! The 90s were relatively zombie-free

Not only that, but the industry is already short drivers, yet continues to underpay and abuse them

That’s not even a joke, just a statement of fact.

“Trump, you ain’t nothin’ but a buster”

Yeah but you can sell this argument better to the rubes if you phrase it using examples they can see for themselves.

By “doing these things” do you mean “not working in fast food”?

Because it sucks and I was afforded opportunities to not have to be stuck there.

That doesn’t mean I have to look down on the people who are working a shitty job here because it’s still better than whatever they left.

These are smart, courageous people doing work us pampered fatsos don’t want to do.

That’s why white people don’t work fast food any more. They underpay immigrants, who are then forced to live 10 to a house and white people complain about that too.

Look up your old favourite games. A lot of them have communities that have kept them updated so they’re playable on modern hardware as long as you have a (totally legal) ISO or disc in your possession.

For example, Project Magma has been keeping Myth The Fallen Lords and Myth II: Soulblighter going for 25+ years now.

I loved this game back when Bungie was a Mac-only developer and it holds up pretty well with a couple graphics mods in addition to the work Project Magma has done.

I currently have 4 old Thinkpad T420s (nice) set up just to run this game on Linux with some friends around the kitchen table.

LibreQuake is another one. I’m not as familiar with what they’ve been up to, as I never had a computer that could run Quake in its heyday, so it doesn’t hold the same nostalgia for me. That said, I appreciate their work anyway.

OpenRA keeps Command & Conquer and its various sequels and spin-offs alive, including Dune 2000. Combined Arms is especially fun; a version that includes all the armies from all the games.

This sounds like The Cure or something gothy playing through a 30s AM radio then transmitted to me by neighbour through our tin can phone system.

Someone should run it through some distortion filters and maybe adjust some timings so it keeps a consistent beat. (I swear a hear a drum-machine version of a kick drum keeping beat there already)

I’m shocked to learn that this isn’t a joke about Greek mythology I didn’t get.

It ain’t nothin but a heart break

Also a number of punk songs titled FTW. The Dwarves come to mind.

No no, it’s the microplastics in our balls that make us shoot airsoft pellets
