Can’t blame em for trying i guess, I’m just salty cuz i loved that franchise back in the day. Might be fun though, if it’s done right

It’ll be like GTA except you can’t get out of the car ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for the informative answer

Ahh ok i see now. Please give me more specific instructions–yours are a tad vague

So add moving to another country to the list, lol

They lost me right there, lol

Tbf a lot of Google is shite but i will never deny the pixel

¿Porque no los dos? 💈

Fake it till you make it! (งツ)ว

It’s like sushi… kinda

Well isn’t that great, mr. moneybags

/S

Yes I’m making a stupid joke bc it’s a paid search engine, something i never would have imagined would be a thing. Now I’m going to price it and perhaps finally pull the trigger on an acct there because fuck google, fuck bing, and fuck all these sites being “wrappers” of them. I come from the dial-up days when lycos, webcrawler, altavista, yahoo–hard searches that would separate the men from the boys. Now we just get this “A.I.” bullshit instead and it falls apart under its own weight. Excuse me while i wave my cane at the sun ☀️

Edit: so it turns out you can get 100 free searches on their site here: https://kagi.com/onboarding?p=choose_plan

Otherwise, it’s $5/month for 300 searches, $10/mo for unlimited, and $25/mo for their “ultimate” exclusive experience…whatever that may be. I’m gonna try the freebies and see what happens. I’m still on the fence about paying for search, but I’m really tired of bs coming from these companies leading to things like we’re experiencing today

Hell yeah, that was a terrific sequel!

Don’t think I ever actually found the rumored cake… 🤔

Was it worth the wait? I loved the game, and also came to the party years after its release

I thought that system was the shit back in the day. We only had a handful of games for it including Pengo, Vanguard, and Ms Pac Man…

I think there’s a couple things at play:

• You know enough to find a different app and make it do what you need it to. Not a hard thing, but something many non-tech savvy people could struggle with, or more likely–

• People often will just use what’s there. We know we have options, we are aware of the privacy concerns… but many people simply aren’t and/or don’t care enough to do anything about it.

We spend a lot of time here, so it seems to us like second nature to avoid intrusive apps… I find in my day-to-day life not many people are talking about that kind of stuff, or don’t have much knowledge/experience in that realm. (I realize that is anecdotal).

I 100% agree with your statements–just trying to rationalize how so many people end up using/staying with these ever-worsening services/apps…

Oooh oooh do conservatism next!!! It’s gotta be something along the lines of “nothing but jacking off, usually in seclusion with other men since 1848” I’m sure you’ve got something spicier in store though

They don’t mince words, that’s for sure! They apparently don’t have any solutions for you. I think they just wanted to make that clear, probably so you didn’t get the wrong idea about them.

Does this work universally or is there a particular station you frequent that it works at?

• Pump
• Dump <---- we are here

Sound blaster was the shit 🙌

Always wanted to try AdLib too…one of those options that a lot of games supported but i don’t think i ever knew anyone with one of those sound cards
