Fonzie!

This kind of makes me want to name my kid Pascal-Case

Yep, the apostrophe would be %27

So Mc%27dole

Once Gabe is dead steam will do the same, and I am planning for that too now.

Why do you make it sound like Steam being decent is because of Gabe Newell, and not because of the culture there?
Oh shit no, Gabe, please be immortal!

to allow registration as anonymously as a library card.

Sounds like a good kind of library card, what country are they from?
Here in the Nethers I need to pay with my bank (not fully anonymous) and register with my national ID card or passport (not at all anonymous) for a library card in my city.

“help patent trolls” is a very confusing statement, as “patent” can be a verb or a noun in this case. “help patent abuse” would be much clearer.

Genuine thanks for actually telling me where not to go

“fuck the overwhelming minority of Russians, mostly the rich elite, but not the ones oppressed by their government”

You can also run them using the correct Proton prefix directly.

ProtonTricks can help make this a lot easier and more graphical.

I don’t see much of papa Chuck

Thanks, I like this a lot!

Millenials grew up using BASIC on Windows 3?!

Millenials were teenagers possibly learning coding starting from 1995, the world was using C++ on Windows 95 at best.

Mario Kart online, with the proximity voice chat mod for trash talking with dopplereffect.

You’re not disproving their point, though.

If anything, if the opposition is like this, it makes them seem all the more credible…

Hm, actually now I do remember countryside Netherlands (achterhoek, to be more exact) has (had?) farmers selling their potatoes, strawberries or other produce just by putting them all on a big table next to a road, and putting a sign saying how much they cost with a little plastic container to put your cash in.
Also no human supervision, whatsoever.

Though I haven’t seen them as much anymore, and quite some seem to have been replaced by vending machines or disappeared completely…

PC, Switch, PS4; ok
Xbox, SNES, GBA; rare but welcome
Genesis, Saturn, Neo Geo; incredibly rare!

Some of these, such as the Saturn and GBA, are such wildly different platforms!
Porting this must have been no small feat, and I wonder if there are differences between some of the versions?

I’m starting to think torches burning right through pockets is a common occurrence, now.

At least here, I’d never think any of my or someone else’s torches could ever become hot; there are hot lamps but they are their own market (i.e. chicken farms)

For help on current topics, like how certain things work in a newly released game, I check https://old.reddit.com/ without an account to see what they have.

For doomscrolling/visiting niche themed subs?
Lemmy works equally fine, and with a clearer conscience to boot.

EDIT That said, I do sometimes miss certain hobby subs, such as a Tekken or Toki Pona community.
There aren’t any active ones last time I checked.

Goodbye.

Man, AskOuija is starting to leak out

DDG makes it quite the statement that they don’t personalise your search in any way, to the point where you can pick which country’s tailored results you want from a dropdown.

It’s actually kind of cool that, due to a hack, this game could be preserved!

A lot of older games have great manuals detailing everything.

Doesn’t SH1 say this in the manual?
