Etymology of ascii characters is something I never even considered. New hobby unlocked

Cooooollllllll! It’s like computer morse code

Wait, we had networking like that in the 70s? I’ve never heard that, do you have any other specific information I can look up? A computer at a school talking to another school remotely to use its processing power in the 70s sounds like alternate reality. That’s literally just the internet. What were they pushing the data over? Surely not phone lines?

My best guess: The thought processes required to ponder the possibility of a simulation are too important to the goal of the simulation itself to disable.

I didn’t like it, myself. I played through to the end and found it incredibly tedious for what you got out of the story, which was basically just a tale about a macguffin in the ocean with sea monsters. The biggest complaint was how painful they made navigating the memory scenes. Every time you want to do anything, you first gotta backtrack all over the ship and you gotta wait through these intro and outro cutscenes and music, and it got old very fast for me. I also got tired of the entire gimmick about 25% in, as there is no variation to the puzzles in the game, they are all set up the same—try to identify people based on surroundings and descriptions, 60+ times. The art direction was really impressive at first, but quickly became dull to me around the time the gimmick started the wear thin.

Tl;dr: it’s admittedly a very creative take on a mystery game, but unfortunately playing through to the end is tedious and lacks needed QoL features.

Voices of the Void.

Oh, wait. It’s free right now??? Go get it!

Isn’t he Jesus in that movie? Is jesus immortal? Tbh i dunno i don’t believe in magic

Two words technically, but “Nothing doing!”

Sort of an old fashioned way to say “no way”

Are you pretty consumercentric, or do you have some niche interests as well? Google is great at basic tasks and delivering product results and promoted content, and if that’s what you’re usually looking for it probably works great for you. People have trouble these days trying to find the specific stuff. Google used to really excel at this in the past, but now it’s buried under pages of promoted content or pages SEO gamed to the top but not being very helpful

I have had nothing but great experience from Parsec. It’s gaming intended, but works perfectly for simple remote desktop use as well. Very low latency. Can start when windows boots, so you can even sign in remotely if you need to restart. Free

Lmao i bet he was like “fuck those phone companies”

You realize 31 year olds were only 10 when YouTube came out? They have lived nearly their whole lives with it. Why do so many people under 30 think anyone over 30 is 50 years old?

You don’t need to be in a relationship, don’t feel pressured by friends & family.

How can i tell this to bills?

I’ve been playing video games for about 30 years and this is hands down one of the best games I’ve ever played.

Edit: other noteworthy mentions - outer wilds, the original ps2 amplitude, and NieR Automata are some other stand out masterpieces of my life.

Many people don’t even live by a store with anything other than over ripe bananas and Apples. People don’t all live in cities with Uber eats delivering organics from target. For MANY people, increasing their plant intake would mean literally starting a farm at home (quite the chore!), hour commutes, or relying on canned goods.

I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, because I’m fortunate enough to have moved out of one of these produce black holes. But baby carrots, canned corn, and frozen broccoli really gets old when that’s all that’s there. Forever.

Meat is good for quite a long time if frozen.

Congratulations on quitting.

I smoked for 7 years

Get over yourself lmfao

edit: P.s. food is absolutely addictive, btw

Cigarette smokers must really baffle you too

This whole thread is a hoot

Thank you
