I save caffeine for the weekends and always thought it made me feel awesome. Now I know why.
Because they don’t need touchpads and like an asymmetrical layout
And the windows+P multi monitor control doesn’t work before login in 11 because it’s part of the taskbar now
It was my first Rated M game and it set the bar impossibly high
You’re right they don’t flatten but the brake does have to engage to stop it from behaving similarly to a manual treadmill
Can’t the escalator like flatten out or something awful, when it’s without power?
Probably because America bad, eat the rich.
It would only work if it was still a massive privacy invasion. They either feed you ads or sell your data, they’re not going to offer a service that can’t at least do one of those.
Lots of young folks with time to dedicate to surfing were at the right age where lolrandom was peak humor. They were ripe to receive the shit posts of prodigious animators congregating on Newgrounds and Ebaums etc
Yup one of the first things I learned in computer repair is that a mostly flattened Philips works way better
Productivity is actually a bad thing, in the current economy increases in productivity has a positive correlation with increases in poverty. Look at how groceries are more expensive than ever while self-checkout only becomes more pervasive.
My neighborhood was just poor enough that basically no kid had a PS memory card. They were all jealous of my n64’s ability to save on the cartridges. When the PS2 and GameCube rolled around we just left the machines on all day again
Let me gift games, let me wishlist games to receive gifts. There’s lots of other features I would also like but if other stores had that I’d be much more inclined to use the other stores.
One thing I loved about Elite was the collection of mini games. Navigating through the space station to your landing pad, finding a suitable patch of surface to touchdown on a planet, having to fight or yield to a supercruise interdiction, they all came together to make Elite feel like a driving game where your vehicle happens to be a spaceship.
In No Man’s Sky landing and takeoff are achieved with a singular button press. And the ship combat is there to check a box. The game is mostly about taking pics of flora and fauna and digging trenches in planets for minerals.
Wow is that really what the Apple campus looks like? That’s hilarious. Like if Nintendo HQ was a big warp pipe.
The sort of alternate universe I yearned for once upon a time was Zelda continuing to be about time gimmicks. OoT had two points in a timeline, MM had the groundhog’s labor day weekend, and there was oracle of ages/seasons by Capcom. I guess there’s only so many ways to spin it though.
I really enjoyed the writing of the side characters in the N64 games. Sure most only had two maybe three things to say outside a side quest but they all had a nugget of commentary on the human condition.
As someone who played each demo version, I was really expecting a different pace in the final game. I was surprised to find that the release version was just as feast-or-famine. Most runs only get a few extra cards or extra stamps unless you get jokers that seriously accelerate the rate. I was expecting the game to have more of an RPG curve to it where I would have more time to shift toward a suit and preferred card quantity.
