I still use my first email (Hotmail) circa ~1997 as a sort of catch all. I have several others for various professional purposes.

Yep, PiHole can also block a lot of ads on mobile apps that uBlock can’t be used for.

Or both. Both is good.

Sure, but they were also live streaming their announcements on YouTube so my money’s on that.

Nah, ever since I learned the true history behind that, I try to bury it so it can’t perpetuate.

Fuck Disney

Same here!

Damn, I was all ready to switch but I gotta have an option for columns. I downloaded it to check it out, and that’s the first thing I look for.

EDIT: I found a setting. It seems it’s under “Tablet Mode” though it only allows for 2 columns. I generally prefer 2 columns for my phone in portrait mode. If I was actually using a tablet, I’d go for 4+ columns.

The only one of those I got to play was Wolfenstein3D and I didn’t necessarily explore it much because I only got to play it thanks to a pretty awesome computers class teacher at my school.

Well to me, this meme reads like someone assuming Internet was needed to 100% a game, while, at least for me personally and the games I played growing up, 100% just wasn’t really a thing. I either beat the game, i.e. beat the final boss/level, or I didn’t.

I even remembered hating achievements and was somewhat let down when they added trophies in a PS3 patch. I never liked the idea of ‘achievement hunting’ as I felt it detracted from the fun of the game. I find myself doing some of this still today, though I can’t help but feel like if they didn’t exist, I’d be happier.

Though to be fair, I never grew up with a Nintendo or anything beyond a Gameboy Color, not did I play many RPGs, including FF. The closest I can think of is collecting all the Pokemon in the first gen games (never owned any others). But of course, that required multiple versions of the game and multiple Gameboys and/or friends.

Today however, RPGs are some of my favorites and games are an entirely different experience.

You can tell this meme was made by a Gen Z/Alpha gamer because games generally didn’t used to measure ‘completeness’ since that’s primarily measured today by trophies/achievements.

Sure, some games might have shown a percentage on your save file and of course you could find/complete everything in a strategy guide, but even those might not have shown absolutely everything including but not limited to Easter Eggs.

Edit: I grew up with a Sega Genesis, Gameboy, and eventually PlayStations.

That’s probably the second “save game” lol

save game

manual autosave game

save and exit game

"I don’t think I have trust issues. Why do you ask?

You forgot the best upgrade, dual joysticks!

Since when did the Blue Screen concept change from being an actual error screen to simply the Windows update screen?

I’m guessing shortly after Windows began implementing aforementioned update screen?

This is the first I’ve heard it referred to as the Blue Screen.

I thought at some point I remember hearing that they sometimes write jokes for each other to make the other look bad which makes it funnier on a meta level, but that’s only if it’s true.

It’s like creating a riddle.

Sure, it could be fun in its own right, but it loses its magic and you can never experience it the same way as if someone else created it.

I miss philosiraptor memes.

Melatonin makes it worse because it’ll help me get to sleep but then wear off around the time I would wake up in the middle of the night.

What has helped somewhat is adding edibles. In my state I had to get a license for them, but it has helped me stay asleep.

My problem is when I try to go to sleep earlier, I wake up mere hours later like my brain thinks it was supposed to be a nap instead, and then I struggle to get back to sleep.

I understand and agree with the sentiment, but I mean, aren’t wild fires supposed to be an expected natural disaster? They’re just getting worse due to more ideal conditions?
