Back in the day, devs shipped the game and that was it.

For PC, that remained true only up to 1996 or so, some games had update patches post release, which you had to find and download from the dial-up internet. For consoles, that remained true until 2006, with Final Fantasy 11 being a notable 2002 exception. Also, judging from some rom dumps, some games did receive updates after the initial release, though you’d need to buy the newer version and not even know what the fixes were

A number of times. One of the most memorable to me was when it really wasn’t what it looked like. Case in point

I’m white, my family is middle-ish class, I don’t pay rent.

I’m really curious as to what OSs comprise those “Other”, both for desktop and mobile

Simpler plastic design I mean. I know that beyblades were always radical-goofy looking, but older ones you could still make out most of the shapes from a distance. Newer ones look like the one in the pic, 5 layers of different whatever just on the upper part. Maybe the plastic ones always looked like that and I’m just that old, ugh

I thought they were much simpler back then, no?

But having four different coats? Hard to believe.

It wasn’t a man, it was 3 kobolds in a trenchcoat, so it’s perfectly plausible

Also, a lawsuit last year was accusing the company of using AI to automatically deny claims - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/unitedhealth-lawsuit-ai-deny-claims-medicare-advantage-health-insurance-denials/ — https://www.reuters.com/legal/lawsuit-claims-unitedhealth-ai-wrongfully-denies-elderly-extended-care-2023-11-14/

“This is an example of how AI is being utilized not to help people but to line the pockets of corporations and their shareholders,” Clarkson said. When these coverage denials are appealed to federal administrative law judges, about 90% are reversed, the complaint said, demonstrating the “blatant inaccuracy” of the algorithm. Only a tiny fraction of patients appeal the denials at all, Clarkson said.

They don’t want poor muslims to be aware of just how much money they have.

No analogue stick, so a significant number of Dreamcast, PSP and N64 will be directly affected. It probably has 8 buttons (4 face, 4 shoulder), but the video never shows anything other than the front. I’m basing this on the other models the company sells. Also, considering several other models come with 2 analogue sticks, I’d say this one is a pass, unless you want something that’s easy to put in the pocket

BTW, the GBA SP form factor is already for sale as the RG35xx. From the looks of it, all these portables run EmuELEC

I’d probably die of hunger or from being overworked for a minor fault in a year or so.

I could try to create some sort of boat with a low profile, using whatever trash and wood is available, in order to flee by sea (can n. koreans even go to the beaches alone?). Supposing I actually managed to build something that works, supposing that nobody ratted me (from my understanding, family and neighbors are your worst nightmare and will rat you out), supposing that no n. korean patrol boats caught me, I’d still have to manage paddling/rowing on an open ocean for a week or more. No way I’d manage to get enough food and water for that long time. Depending on the time of the year, the sun could prove fatal. Storms are another danger that could fuck me up big time.

Should everything work out fine (it wouldn’t), I’d reach s. korean shores and turn myself in for asylum and maybe aim for a different continent. Supposing I kept my originally learnt languages, by now I’d know 3 (native br-portuguese, english and native korean), so I could try any anglophone country, or return to Brazil if I’m feeling stupid.

For some reason, I cannot git ye shell. All my attempts to bash my way through anything fail miserably as well.

This weird Grub on a boot keeps showing up and blocking my path.

Fuck this game >:(

You make it sound like it’s trivial to get a position of political power when said position is already being vied for by several people, many of which have way more money and resources than the average lemming

A giant ship that can transform into a giant robot maid, complete with a vacuum to suck planets’ air.

We need to train more medics in the Team Fortress 2 university, so they can shoo AND shoot vaccines at vaxx deniers

Time to speedrun a harem, boys!

Any CEO that is willing to part with 50% or more of their wealth before they die and not to their family or close friends, should be good. No idea about names

Just saw off part of the barrel, that Kyle Reese dude did it once and it hid super well in a trench coat.
