ouch… Myst made me want to make games, and so I learned programming. And here I am, software engineer for years and years, with no games. That needs to change somehow

Kelindi@_kelindi

every software engineer is just someone who wanted to make video games and quietly gave up on that dream

Between this and the whole "american hot dog sauce" thing last week, it's pretty clear europeans needs to unlearn literally everything they think they know about the US at this point and start over because yeah...

RBe@RBPundit

Wait. They think homes in the US have uninsulated walls?

@IFLH23 Oh. We're lashing out now... Sorry friend, I'll let you go, I didn't think you were cornered

Equivocator@IFLH23·1d

@MLPSandy "Of course I think american values are better" it snarled from a country that ranks lower than Europe by every metric from quality of life, education, happiness, freedom, health, healthcare, human rights and employment rights... Your values appear to be dogshit, like your people

English

SandyFortune@MLPSandy·1d

I get this guy's probably a bot (it's under "show possible spam" now) but all I can think is there's a joke here with how we got random dudes in the UK who fully believe they know the US better than we do when that's the reason the colonies left in the first place

Equivocator@IFLH23

@MLPSandy We know more about your country than you do.

@IFLH23 Oh oh I remember this one! I mean yeah, "shining city on a hill" and stuff so of course I think American values are better. But if another country adopts a culture, that's on them. Nobody is making you do it like some cultural victory condition in a game of Civ lol

English

Equivocator@IFLH23·1d

@MLPSandy You have absolutely no idea how saturated the world is with your "culture" do you? Completely oblivious to how it is suffocating the rest of the world.

I've been watching 007 First Light gameplay (at least I think it's gameplay?) and if you were ever looking for proof that modern games deeply wish they were movies but need you to push a button every now and then to distract you from the awful script... Well, now you have it

SandyFortune@MLPSandy·1d

I was gonna be all "they'll do anything except let us buy the games where we want (aka not Epic)" but oh gosh I forgot some EA loser is in charge now, I just had to relive discovering that Remedy is toast... oh well...

And Vista was weird because it wasn't actually universally hated. Microsoft lied about minimum requirements so more PCs got a sticker. The love/hate depended on if your PC was actually equipped to handle it or not. Still a Microsoft fail, but there were people who liked it

English

SandyFortune@MLPSandy·2d

There are "best Windows" charts floating around with some real weird takes. This tweet's what I remember. 95 was an incredible leap. 98 was fine. I ended up using 2000 instead of XP because it was all the benefits with none of the junk.

AC@saveusculture

Pretty close. 3.1 was great for what it was, but Windows 95 was the peak of DOS-based Windows. NT4 or 2000 was the peak of NT. XP came close to 2000 but was severely hobbled by IE6, the Fisher Price UI, and accumulated bloat.

English

SandyFortune@MLPSandy·2d

this has to be bait right? because it's deranged to ask everyone to pay for something they don't want so a company making all the wrong decisions gets another shot. this is the "too big to fail" mentality we see everywhere, only with shaming gamers into doing the bailouts

BlameItOnRyen@BlameItOnRyen

Destiny fans might not wanna hear it, but if you really want to see Bungie get a greenlight for Destiny 3 you should maybe support Marathon as opposed to shitting on it and review bombing it.

SandyFortune@MLPSandy·2d

everyone: "no more daylight saving time PLEASE" US government: "we hear you, but what if we did the exact opposite" if that's not the best picture of how they see themselves as rulers, I don't know what is. this is something that takes literally zero effort, and still they refuse

Save Standard Time@SaveStandard

@Breaking911 No, Mr. President! Permanent DST cost lives when last tried. Permanent Standard Time would keep our circadian rhythm in sync with the sun's position in the sky. Ditch DST!

SandyFortune@MLPSandy·3d

Nothing to add really, I just find it refreshing when people who actually pay attention to LOST notice it does explain what’s going on

Seymour Butts@VashKohime

It was interesting sitting down and watching all of LOST expecting a bunch of unanswered questions like the cultural reputation suggests only to get a show that sits the audience down and explains the entire plot like, multiple times. We get a full on flashback origin episode!

you won't guess who I just saw a clip of nearly getting flattened by a truck pulling a trailer because he was walking down the middle of the road again (I'm not linking to it this time because these morons thrive on attention)

was gonna make fun of Indiana driving, but turns out it's about an innocent driver who got rear-ended by an idiot not paying attention because they had to stop for the idiot on foot in the middle of a 4 lane highway

Streamer “hmblzayy” who is walking from Philly to California was hit by a car in Indiana and had to be taken to the hospital.
