Kill the nickel and dime while we’re at it.

Yet I played it so much I can hear it in my head right now.

In today’s dollars, my local video game store in 1991 was selling Wizardry for the NES for $141.

Fuck, the average AAA Atari 2600 game was $99 in today’s dollars. Games like Pitfall and Pac-Man.

Just some perspective. I’m going to go yell at a cloud or something, now.

Markdown is 100%^[1] intuitive.

Maybe?

Nah

There’s literally no difference. Each Discord server is like a tiny chunk of Reddit. If anyone expected any privacy on these servers, they’re nuts.

I definitely did! I guess maybe you can see why I was so exasperated. 😳

That’s why I only post questions for bleeding-edge languages and code libraries. I have to answer them myself.

lemmy is just gobbling it up every day. It’s so tiring.

Are you fucking serious? All I ever see on Lemmy is prople saying “AI slop” over and over and over and over again… in like every comment section of every post. It could be a picture that was actually hand-drawn, or a photograph that was definitely not AI, or articles written by someone “sounding like AI”. The AI hate on Lemmy is WAY overpowering any support.

Why did you add like a hundred spaces in front of the list of states? That makes it a code block that requires tons of horizontal scrolling to read. I didn’t even recognize it as such at first.

You know Lemmy has spoiler syntax, right? If that’s what you were going for?

Witcher 1 was weird, but I finished it just a few years ago. The combat is half automatic. Like, if you get a dodge skill it just means that when an enemy attacks, “Dodge” might appear above your head more often as enemies attack you. You dont actually dodge anything.

Geralt just swings his sword like crazy (automatically) and numbers appear above the enemies to indicate damage. It’s a constant stream of numbers. And you press buttons once in a while to cast spells, change combat style, or do special moves. At least I think you manually trigger special moves. It’s been a while.

If you watch this video on YouTube, you’ll see what I mean. None of the sword slashes involve pressing a button. They just happen.

I thought it was worth playing. Janky, yes, but worth playing. I played 1 and 2 before playing 3.

Also… I don’t think it has a name, but dubiously claiming any of these examples in an argument. Maybe it’d just be called “deflection”.

I’ve seen so many valid arguments shutdown as whataboutism, sealioning, concern trolling when they were valid arguments. It’s just as much bullshit as actually doing any of those things.

Obviously this wasn’t the same thing I was talking about but I refuse to search further.

That’s exactly the thing you were talking about.

MK with its new open world

Now I want open world Mortal Kombat.

Just get a proper emulation handheld. It won’t have Joycon’s that will drift in 12 months. The Switch doesn’t do anything special versus an emulation handheld. There are a million to choose from at every price point.

Rat farts.
