I probably own a significant portion of those games in my GOG account, I’ll double check when I’m home

Bluesky has brand recognition (founded by the same dude as Twitter), more people and “feels like twitter”, in the sense of what you see, more than mastodon. Also, news outlets seem to be migrating there.

Mastodon (and pleroma, misskey, etc) is seen as a place for weirdos and techies, with “nothing interesting going on”. Several people mentioned this already one way or another, but that most servers/instances are “specific” about whatever means that people will feel that they might miss out on something by choosing the wrong server.

Ha ha ha, yeah, sure. Bluesky won’t defeat xitter, at best it’ll just be the “next thing” once xitter finally finishes getting rid of most of its users, which I guess will take more than 4 years from now.

How could those two suspiciously familiar faces with light violet and wine colored hairs possibly be Jessie and James from Team Rocket???

It’s facebook, that’s entirely possible.

Quick, let’s sue the NBA for causing child violence!

Game Boys are usually regarded as durable as hell. There’s even one that withstood bombing during the Gulf War (1991)

Congratulations on taking a fucking DECADE to realize what should’ve been FUCKING OBVIOUS from the start.

Does the emulator have an easter-egg where a judoka starts beating me up for not having a Sega Saturn?

Me neither, but I guess once you start following enough people, or the platform has a large enough amount of people posting there, it becomes “interesting” by quantity, if not quality.

I think I tried twitter for a week back in 2018, didn’t “get it”, deleted the account. Tried Mastodon last year, enjoyed the much larger character limit, but didn’t feel like staying.

Stopping the save timer should be relatively easy. Not that I’d know anything about that

There’s also Unilever and Pepsico and their several brands to make people think there’s a choice

Microsoft has had several country govt’s dependent on their software for decades now (mostly Windows and Office, but also Azure lately). They were also deemed “not that bad, actually” by the courts for their 1990’s fuckery, so I’d say they’re the first dystopic megacorp we got.

Some douche had (still has?) all the trademarks on anything Edge related to games

Just wait a few more years and SSDs won’t matter, loading screens will take forever again

Even if we took all these patents as valid back in 2021, they’d still be fucking stupid

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a game program, a game system, an information processing device, and an information processing method that can smoothly switch between a plurality of boarding objects in a game in which a player character boards an object and moves.

Nintendo mentions something from 2017, but I’m pretty sure World of Warcraft did something similar before 2017, possibly other MMOs as well. Reading a bit further, it sounds like automatically changing from an air mount to a ground or water mount without need for input, which Palworld doesn’t do. You can glide and “auto dismount” once you hit the ground with certain pals, but that’s it, you can’t instantly change from a mounted pal to a different pal

Minecraft lets you throw snowballs at monsters.

South Park did it years prior and even had yellow snowballs :)

More? Aren’t there already like 10 or more?

Fucking wishlisted

The demo is free, basically the full game just with an 8 hour time limit

I wonder if that was the scientifically curated time to get people hooked and addicted. By the way, is that limit of 8 hours total playtime, or like 8 hours per session?
