Moments like this are like dreams for me.
I’ll start doing something. And it starts to actually get done. Then I’ll throw in another task and it’s getting done too. I’ll realize that I’m getting stuff done, and excitedly try to get more stuff done.
But once I realize that I’m getting stuff done, I “wake up” and it all falls apart, and I’m left with 6 tasks at 75% completion.
“Uh Mr Substitute can I use my headphones in class”
“Does your teacher normally let you use headphones?”
“Uh yeah”
“Then go ahead”
This is the answer. I’ve had a 256gb SSD with nothing but Windows on it since 2018. Every time Windows starts to get a little feisty (far too often… sigh…) I just nuke the drive from orbit and spend an hour reinstalling windows rather than spending a weekend or two shuffling things around to get back to where they need to be.
Only thing that’s mildly annoying is most things expect everything to be on the C drive by default and it can be a little annoying navigating programs that don’t “remember” the last folder they looked in. But telling the boys that you have to reinstall Windows and then being back on for games the same day, definitely worth it.
Right? Haha. “They weren’t simply taking a walk they were purchasing flowers” umm akshully you didn’t simply go for a hike you went out for a picnic.
His last poem be like, “now read the first line of every poem”
Yup, I got through like 4 sentences and thought, “no way this guy wrote this up just for this post”, saw how long it was and the tell-tale formatting and yeah chatgpt wrote this
I’m going to start saying “and this is where the magic happens” in reference to everything in my house when showing new people around
Yeah, I’m hitting 30 in a couple years and it’s starting to show. I’ve been working on it, but I’ve had a trash diet since I was a kid so it’s a lot to undo.
Ayooo it’s me! Skinny af with a garbo diet
Halo of course. I was skeptical until I played a demo, instantly bought in.
That’s funny, I had this exact experience much more recently when Breath of the Wild was relatively new. I heard so many people raving about how good it was but I was never a huge Zelda guy. Went to Best Buy to window shop, they had a switch on display with BotW queued up. I don’t think I even got in to combat before I thought, “ok, this is something special, I need to give this time”. Still play it here and there when I’m bored of other games.
I’ll agree that if I tried playing Sly Cooper for the first time as a fully grown adult I probably wouldn’t enjoy it nearly as much. But kids definitely know a good game from a bad one, that’s why there’s games targeted to kids/ teens that sell well and others that don’t. Just because they didn’t grab the attention of 30 year old you doesn’t mean they weren’t great games, you just weren’t the target audience. That’s like someone who was 30 when SpongeBob came out saying that it was never that good.
Out of curiosity, what games from that platform/ time do you consider good? Everyone’s coming at you for your (objectively wrong /s) opinions on these classics, surely there were some that you enjoyed.
Maybe I’m dumb but I don’t understand the “format” - are the top and bottom sections of text supposed to be related to the middle text? Why is the text over a bottle of alcohol?
Hate when the government loses my servers :(
Like others have said, any file can be dangerous. You need to be diligent in picking where your ROMs come from, if it’s a sketchy site don’t use it.
That being said I’ve been doing similar activities since I was like 12 years old and have got a virus exactly once, and it was completely my fault for not listening to my gut (disregarded some red flags because I really wanted something to work.)
Replace “nuclear bombs” with whatever relevant worldwide threat you’d like and the joke should still land for you 👍🏼
Not just hotels but houses too. There would be a slot inside the medicine cabinet for disposing razors into the wall. Dude who came up with the idea was probably like, “we’ll all be dead from nuclear bombs before any of these fill up or needs to be renovated”.
I’ve got one of those fuck-you flashlights from when I first found out about “enthusiast” flashlights a few years ago. It gets bright enough to burn dark colored objects if you concentrate the light on a small part, works like a giant magnifying glass/ sun combo. I need to buy a charger for the battery so I can play around with it again, it was too much fun seeing people’s faces when I made it daylight for an entire street.
Did you just watch “Joker” for the first time or something? Peak high school edge lord material
You have hundreds millions of people, some of them post dozens of times a day. I wouldn’t be surprised
Edit: according to some website statistics site, there’s ~500m tweets a day, so ~180b a year.
God, I love it when things like this start to develop when playing games with friends. Especially when it’s a newer player, or maybe even the quiet person that starts doing it - the first time you catch on to someone pulling a trick like this is the best possible feeling of, “you son of a bitch!”
