@exQUIZitely Original X-Com and I will hear no arguments.

Looking at the era between 1990 to 1999 - which round based strategy game would you rank at #1?

@a_chrisbray @jarvis_best It's a shame, too, because I still think of some of the funnier articles from the late 90s.

@jarvis_best The Onion has been forgetting to write jokes for about twenty years

> be The Onion > spend $1M to license Infowars for a year plus another $1M in attorney fees > hire Tim Heidecker - one of the greatest comic actors alive - to parody Alex Jones > his Jones impression is flawless > forget to write jokes

@FiredUpCoug I tried reading Heir to the Empire. Couldn't get into it. When it was revealed early on that Luke's "special drink" was hot chocolate, I got immediate douche chills and read no more. Maybe I'll take another stab at it.

How Disney can save the Star Wars franchise in two simple steps: 1) Declare that Kathleen Kennedy's sequel trilogy is non-cannon. 2) Replace it with Timothy Zahn's trilogy.

@dissidentwest Reach is the best Halo by far.

What’s the best video game of all time? (The only correct answer is Halo 2)

@lady_valor_07 I'll choose a dog over anything not dog.

WHITE PEOPLE: Is this true?

@Gracefulgirls_ Couldn't have taken it off her ass instead?

Life in prison for the doctor who did that

@outeredgestudio @DearS_o_n Thank you for sharing. I'm going to look into it.

I started with mankind project with new warriors weekend and sat with an accountability group. They allowed me to say out loud what I only kept in my head. They just listened and didn’t judge and didn’t try to fix me. After awhile watching and listening how after they did this, they said they were open if another had anything similar to speak about. That’s all I needed to stop isolating

@EmersonLotzia You don't think it's proper to be taxed for the luxury of parking your vehicle in your own driveway? The very idea...

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: the biggest money grab scam in Massachusetts.

@outeredgestudio @DearS_o_n Can you tell us a little more about this group?

My chiropractor noticed I was not myself lost my smile. He mentioned it and also invited me to his men’s group. I blew it off at the thought of talking to a bunch of guys. I didn’t know. About six months later, I was much worse and with an apology I asked if his invitation was still open to me. It was and men’s work goes a big part of my life now and watch the reason I’ve made it back to liking who I am again.

@InternetH0F I have the original. Pretty neat but I never use it.

Steam has just announced their own controllers, arriving May 4th at 10 am PT The controller is now available for $99 or 99€ and can be purchased with steam balance

@EpicNNG Found it very dull.

I keep seeing everyone glazing Dishonored, but I've never actually played it. Is it really THAT good of a game??

@alphafox LS-120 was superior.

Did you ever Zip disk? 100MB was a lot of storage compared to a standard 1.44MB floppy disk, before USB drives were even a thing. The Zip drive held a decent marketshare being eventually overtaken by CD-R and flash drives.

@RealCoffeeChoco @SandyofCthulhu I also loved the novel and have been curious about the game. I remember always seeing it on the shelves at Egghead Software back in the day. Guess I'll see if it's on GOG.

@SandyofCthulhu LOL I loved the novel, but never played the game. Did you leave the deck gun in??!?

I spent 24 years doing computer games. I owe video games nothing, and I don't ever want to do another. Here's why: when I build a computer game, it takes me years, and I must manage a team of a dozen or more developers. Plus I have at least four layers of non-gamer people standing over me in suits, able to jump in with random decrees at any moment. Even clear back in 1988, I remember Sid Meier telling me that his partner, Bill Stealey, asked Sid to put a "deck gun" on the nuclear sub in Red Storm Rising. Why? Because Bill loved the deck gun in Silent Service (1985).

@HorsesSphere_15 Stormy Daniels

Suggest the name please!

@TechOperator cd \dynamix rotd

You walk up to your computer and see this screen. Your next move?

@SandyofCthulhu @memeslich I used to do the same thing. I've been meaning to pick up an old encyclopedia set... maybe something from before the board of education was created.

@memeslich I used to pull a random volume off the shelf and just start reading

Do you have the lore books of the world??

@Sil68800569Joao @timecaptales Ah, interesting little tidbit! Thanks!

@WhatAboutThose @timecaptales Search Petticoat Affair

In 1837, President Andrew Jackson invited the general public into the White House. The occasion? Jackson had a 1,400 pound block of Cheese sitting in the Entrance Hall of the White House that all were invited to eat. The Cheese was gifted to Jackson in 1835 by one Thomas Meacham, being produced by dairy farmers in Oswego County, New York. It circulated the Mid-Atlantic on a tour as it made its way to D.C. The great Cheese arrived at the White House by carriage with 24 horses pulling it. It resided in the White House for about a year until February of 1837, at his final party as President, Jackson invited all to eat their fill of the Cheese. "For hours did a crowd of men, women and boys hack at the cheese, many taking large hunks of it away with them. When they commenced, the cheese weighed one thousand four hundred pounds, and only a small piece was saved for the President's use. The air was redolent with cheese, the carpet was slippery with cheese, and nothing else was talked about at Washington that day. Even the scandal about the wife of the President's Secretary of War was forgotten in the tumultuous jubilation of that great occasion." - Perley's Reminiscences of Sixty Years in the National Metropolis, 1886, Benjamin Perley Poore

@oldyzach Had the CD Enhanced version of this. Watched that intro all the way through so many times.

Hello retro folks 😎 How you doin' ? ☕️

@mc_khristina @grok Can you analyze and comment on the community note here? I mean... it references Snopes, which is not exactly trustworthy.

I try and tend to be what I consider a pretty healthy, clean eater and I cannot stop thinking this video I watched on baby carrots. I am horrified and I will never buy or eat a baby carrot again. Did you know that baby carrots are soaked in the same chemical used to clean your toilet ... that every stump is drenched in an active bleach compound at over double the dose deemed safe by the EPA. These baby carrots are spiked with 34 pesticides ... beyond any wash or peel, and they start as rejected carrot scraps, flushed through and industrial pipes, then submerged in sodium hypochlorite, searing hundreds of chlorinated agents into the flesh that leached sealed in plastic ... where moisture feeds bacteria. This person scanned a pack with something called a SafeChoice app, and found that indeed, baby carrots are filled with 9 different additives. This is unbelievable.
