Knowledge deflates your tits and ass? 🤔

But what is even the point of arguing with them? Assuming they are a stranger, of course, and not a person you have a personal relationship with, too. You just make a mental note that the person is ok with something you consider immoral and move on.

She was clearly complaining about her being at “HER” boyfriend’s place. Asking what she was doing there, but really implying why she was there, cause the man is already taken.

I never understood complaining to the person your partner is cheating with. You don’t have any agreements with that person, go “complain” to your partner.

I’m aware of some DOS games that did it. For example 1989 Prince of Persia had you enter the exact character (page, line, word) from the manual.

On PS1 you’d probably never complete Metal Gear Solid (1998), cause you need to call somebody on the codec, but the frequency was on the box cover.

They are right, it was used for that. Sometimes some key information for progress would be in the manual or on the box. Luckily it wasn’t super popular on consoles, due to the notion that it wasn’t as easy to pirate on consoles as it was on home computers, where you could just copy the floppy/CD.

I’m not sure I understand. What point?

Yeah, that was the case early on. But because of that problem we were very incentivized to learn English. Which we did pretty fast.

Psh. As a kid in a post-soviet country I hadn’t seen a game manual up until PS3 days. Every single cartridge and disc sold there was just that. Best case scenario in a flimsy plastic case that would disintegrate in a couple of years. Had to rawdog the shit out of those games. Pure trial and error and perseverance.
Stuck? Try every possible button combination in every location that makes any sense.

For example, couldn’t finish Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster’s Hidden Treasure on Mega Drive (Genesis) because I didn’t know you can jump off walls. Finished it earlier this year though 🙃

Not to brag, but my brother and I passed the garage test mission in Driver (PS1) as kids. Now that I think about it, I should put it on my resume.

His wife is so fat gigantic, she takes up the entirety of his cone of vision regardless.

Yes.

Looks pretty disorganized to me as is.

In Poland I’ve only seen the in-store scanners in Kaufland so far, but I love it.

Unfortunately, ICE agents are either Normal or Dark type. In case of the former, a Ghost attack would have no effect, and the latter only ½ the damage. Gotta switch back to Fighting, which is x2 in both cases.

Watch your mouth! Dubai is an emirate and a city, not a country, m’kay?

Not if you like arguing.

I’m aware of slash commands. If it’s a /sarcasm command, why would it be at the end of the statement?
What’s your source for this? I’m pretty sure “/s” means “end of sarcasm”, borrowed from XML/HTML.

Are we assuming open windows or something? Either way, I’ve never seen ceiling fans used for ventilation, only for the same purpose as a floor fan, blowing air at you so you can cool down. Is ventilation a common use case in some places?

Does this person never leave their room? Why run the fan when the room isn’t occupied? That’s just wasted electricity…

Just fyi, the slash in /s or /sarcasm isn’t some weird bracket, it’s meant as an XML style closing tag, meaning “end of sarcasm”. In full it would look as follows:

<sarcasm>Things are going great!</sarcasm>

But people drop the opening tag and the <> for convenience.
