- That scared the crap out of me as a child. Absolutely no warning that it was coming.
Also its not anywhere because the company that made it doesnt exist any more so technically nobody has the rights to sell it. There’s going to be a lot more legal technicalities than that but that’s basically it.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What game changing item*s can you buy for $100 or less?6·2 days agoWhy have I never heard of this before that’s a brilliant idea. Do they grow mad mold quickly?
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion?English21·3 days agoMega Man is a pretty sweet example, explained by this blast from the past.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span.67·3 days agoRight now they are. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Compared to just 20 years ago we’re living in the future. You may not have noticed the progress because you’d expect the future to includes hoverboards.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There's a lot to be known about me by knowing who my exes are, what my favorite songs are to sing in the car, and my fast food orders.4·4 days agoI guess for the fast food orders there could be some insights with enough volume and associated data (time, frequency, location.)
If someone suddenly started ordering loads or boycotted that one that decided homophobia was the way to go or something you could sense political leaning.
You could get a sense of allergies or vegetarianism.
You may figure out payday
Could maybe get a feel for menstrual cycles
Could figure out someone’s route home
Family size maybe.
Probably more idk.
In a way it’s more fair by design. In a completely fair game the most skilled player will always win. In a game like Mario Kart everyone has a chance to win.
As a kid my family wouldn’t play most games with me because I won every time. If we couldn’t do co-op mode we didnt play, and they’d still get grumbly on co-op because I’d be doing the heavy lifting and showing them up. They’d play Mario Kart and Mario Party with me though.
As an e-sport or “compare your online rank to mine and weep” dick-measurer it sucks. As a video game its very good.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments?5·4 days agoThat’s exactly why I refuse to use tutorials from YouTube. I’m just here to learn the thing you said you were teaching in the title. Im not looking to smash that subscribe button and ding the bell and comment below if I want to see more and see how all your other videos were doing or learn about how you got started in whatever field this is or when the thing was invented or little known facts about the thing that is useless filler to get you up to 10 minutes and im still not interested in like and subscribing and I don’t want to hear about how grateful you are about getting to whatever number of subscribers you have and just get to the fucking topic you promised you bitch
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Anyone actually say during an interview that the reason they want the job was because they need money?11·5 days agoI have the ability to do the job you require and am willing to do it in the listed times for the price stated. Let’s get this going.
I bloody hate having to be all “yeah im really passionate about mopping floors at 6am? There’s nothing I love more than getting yelled at by customers.”
It frustrates me because having to suck them off like that is the only technique that works because why don’t interviewers see straight through it? Their entire purpose at that point is to hire the best guy for the job, and consistently they just fall for bullshit.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?1·5 days agoI peaked hard on Halo. I wish I had the gear/inclination to start a YouTube channel for it. Back in those days YouTube wasn’t the high-paying career it is today, and i was convinced it would be a waste of money to get the gear required to start one.
I’ve properly grown up since then though, and now im nowhere near the best at any video game. I often wonder how different life would be if I’d managed to just sit at home playing games every day and be a near millionaire from it.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?1·5 days agoTunic felt to me like being 3 or 4 again. Unable to read the instructions, working it out from the pictures and button icons.
I didnt complete it, I got stuck against some baddy quite early on and just sorta lost interest, but its on my list of games to go back to.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind?English6·6 days agoIm going to need to go back and try it again, I don’t think i gave it enough time. I failed (because of course I did) about 5 times before giving up. Its a neat concept but it didnt get its hooks in me like everyone else says.
Without fullt spoiling it, does it have some kind of twist in it that I didnt give it a chance to do?
Absolutely. I haven’t personally pirated anything since getting netflix years ago, but its looking more and more tempting to get back into it.
Do it loudly and keep teaching others how to.
Steam taught us that piracy is a service issue and this shit right here is a service issue.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Over 30 we no longer want to go out - we want to be left alone, with a beer/wine, a blanket, tv, and tacos…4·9 days agoLet’s go to the nightclub like when we were younger.
End up everyone looking at you funny because you’re the only person over 22.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.English3·9 days agoI sometimes wonder what I casually believe because I read it while scrolling for something interesting. I don’t have the time or inclination to fact check every single detail I come across.
This whole thread is twisting my melon. Im gonna be wondering whether or not this object counts as a cup all day now.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage?3·9 days agoObligatory parks and recreation
Skip a minute into it though for some reason the clip starts way sooner than it needs to.
Yermaw@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage?6·9 days agoYeah he said “-if- it wasn’t a beverage” its just a hypothetical
In 50 years I reckon the one on the left might have aged better. Based solely on past performance, cutesy stylised graphics of the N64 kick the shit out of almost anything the technically superior PS1 put out.
ETA : Stylised things from ps1 are excluded from that statement. Crash bandicoot and the like.
