Yep, early 2000s in the UK and everyone was using MSN. I didn’t know a single person using AIM or ICQ!

I think the intended use case is summarising a series of messages, not just one

Battle royale where 10k players synchronise their Nintendo Alarmo alarm clocks, and whoever gets out of bed last is eliminated

This was lovely! Are there any other communities that share interesting posts from small blogs like this?

Bad summary - the full list of games now supporting analogue controls is:

• Worms Armageddon (Worms Collection 1)
• Speedball 2100 (The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1)
• 40 Winks (Piko Interactive Collection 3)
• Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes (Duke Nukem Collection 2)
• Duke Nukem: Time to Kill (Duke Nukem Collection 2)
• Glover (Piko Interactive Collection 4)
• Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft (Tomb Raider Collection 1)
• Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (Legacy of Kain Collection)

I just want to know what you people are doing to your fast food over in America that is giving people diarrhoea so reliably. Every time I hear people from the US talk about places like Taco Bell, someone inevitably mentions its catastrophic effect on their stomach.

Why is that accepted as normal?!

We have Taco Bell in the UK too and it’s… fine? I eat out or order food at least once a week and I could count on one hand the number of times I’ve EVER had food poisoning, but apparently over in America it’s basically guaranteed?? What in the absolute fuck is going on over there?

Companies patent dumb ideas all the time with no real intention to develop them. No harm in mocking them for it, but I wouldn’t be ringing alarm bells unless they actually start implementing it in their vehicles.

Additional fines and, if necessary, sanctions. If you refuse to pay a fine imposed by the EU then guess what? You can’t do business in the EU any more.

So do you think this research is invalid, or are you just being snarky for the sake of it?

Love TheC64 from the same company, so this will be a day one purchase for me

TLDR: the ‘novel technique’ is PWAs

Business cards are still very much used in Japan, which I’m assuming is the exact target market here.

Except this new release doesn’t erase the existing game, and doesn’t prevent people from continuing to make mods however they want.

It’s a new version with new features and content, and they’re even giving it to existing owners for free, but people still find a way to complain.

I wonder if they’ll try restoring some of the cut content from SR1?

I don’t know why, but I freaking love simple/arcade golf games. Surprised Golf wasn’t available already, but I’ll definitely be playing!

what usually gets lost on people is how Mac tended to have had things first, like everything has Bluetooth now, but Mac OSX had it long before Windoze did

That’s just not true - in fact, Apple is well-known for repeatedly releasing ‘new’ products/features that already existed elsewhere, but acting like they invented it. That goes all the way back to the original Macintosh.

Or, to use your example, everything I can find says MacOS added Bluetooth support in 2004, while Windows XP was patched to support Bluetooth in 2002.

MacOS is good software, but let’s not pretend Apple hasn’t built their entire empire based on pinching other people’s ideas and marketing them better.

Are you thinking of Spy Hunter?

I mean, that’s basically the main character’s arc in Office Space, right? Still rings true.

I still remember the first time I saw the demo video where they flip a window around and write a note on the back of it. Blew my mind.

They should make it so that replying to a comment automatically disables your ability to downvote it.

Would simultaneously prevent people trading downvotes while they argue back and forth, and encourage people to simply ignore trolls and move on without replying.
