  1. That scared the crap out of me as a child. Absolutely no warning that it was coming.

Also its not anywhere because the company that made it doesnt exist any more so technically nobody has the rights to sell it. There's going to be a lot more legal technicalities than that but that's basically it.

Mega Man is a pretty sweet example, explained by this blast from the past.

Right now they are. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Compared to just 20 years ago we're living in the future. You may not have noticed the progress because you'd expect the future to includes hoverboards.

I guess for the fast food orders there could be some insights with enough volume and associated data (time, frequency, location.)

If someone suddenly started ordering loads or boycotted that one that decided homophobia was the way to go or something you could sense political leaning.

You could get a sense of allergies or vegetarianism.

You may figure out payday

Could maybe get a feel for menstrual cycles

Could figure out someone's route home

Family size maybe.

Probably more idk.

In a way it's more fair by design. In a completely fair game the most skilled player will always win. In a game like Mario Kart everyone has a chance to win.

As a kid my family wouldn't play most games with me because I won every time. If we couldn't do co-op mode we didnt play, and they'd still get grumbly on co-op because I'd be doing the heavy lifting and showing them up. They'd play Mario Kart and Mario Party with me though.

As an e-sport or "compare your online rank to mine and weep" dick-measurer it sucks. As a video game its very good.

That's exactly why I refuse to use tutorials from YouTube. I'm just here to learn the thing you said you were teaching in the title. Im not looking to smash that subscribe button and ding the bell and comment below if I want to see more and see how all your other videos were doing or learn about how you got started in whatever field this is or when the thing was invented or little known facts about the thing that is useless filler to get you up to 10 minutes and im still not interested in like and subscribing and I don't want to hear about how grateful you are about getting to whatever number of subscribers you have and just get to the fucking topic you promised you bitch

Im going to need to go back and try it again, I don't think i gave it enough time. I failed (because of course I did) about 5 times before giving up. Its a neat concept but it didnt get its hooks in me like everyone else says.

Without fullt spoiling it, does it have some kind of twist in it that I didnt give it a chance to do?

[–] Yermaw@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Absolutely. I haven't personally pirated anything since getting netflix years ago, but its looking more and more tempting to get back into it.

Do it loudly and keep teaching others how to.

Steam taught us that piracy is a service issue and this shit right here is a service issue.

Let's go to the nightclub like when we were younger.

End up everyone looking at you funny because you're the only person over 22.

I sometimes wonder what I casually believe because I read it while scrolling for something interesting. I don't have the time or inclination to fact check every single detail I come across.
