Please do not perceive me.
I’ve been moving on with my life regarding this since about 2005, but it has failed to move on from me. I’m not sure what’s so funny about going “HUNTER2 HYUCK HYUCK HYUCK” every time you see the word “password” on the internet, but whatever, man, it’s clearly more popular than I am because y’all just can’t stop doing it.
Please leave the stupid reddit jokes back on reddit.
This dead horse was beaten into a very fine paste 10 years ago and it wasn’t funny back then either.
I’ve got a time-traveling kick in the nuts prepared for whoever invented wall-humping for unmarked secrets. I first remember this from Wolfenstein 3D but I’m not sure if it existed before then.
Take the $50k signing bonus and use it to fuck off to Belize or somewhere
I was at a music festival about a week ago and there were several dozen people wearing these, they were kick ass
Also alive and well in the rave scene, but we’ve always dressed funny
Edit: also, these communities probably overlap a lot…
A lot of it deals with the fact that Roblox doesn’t pay you out until you accrue some critical mass of value. If a kid makes an app and puts it on Steam and it sells 2 copies, they’re getting paid for those 2 copies. Not so for Roblox. You require 30,000 Robux to cash out - which seems to be quite a lot, actually, considering the documentation I’m reading on their own webpage advertises this with photos that show 97,493 total Robux earnings from this presumably rock-star developer that you want to be like, and buyable items costing between 80-600 Robux.
It should also be noted that I cannot locate any mention of a dollars-to-Robux ratio without an account, which I do not have and am not making, so God only knows what rate they actually pay you out at once you do manage to acquire your 30,000 Robux. The primary use case of earned Robux is to then invest them back into the in-game shop to purchase content that other users have made. Robux actively doesn’t want you cashing out and makes it as difficult as possible to do so.
I’m personally not too upset about a game primarily made from user created content, I think it’s kind of cool, but the way they’ve tied real money into the process feels very icky and scumbaggish to me. My particular issue with Roblox is the rampant pedophilia and sexual grooming that the devs are either unwilling to alienate (since, presumably, this population makes up a not-insignificant percentage of their user base) or else actively in cahoots with, because this has been a known problem for many years but approximately zero steps have been taken to address it.
Why bother? Need money to get to Heaven?
I want to see Atlus mop the floor with Nintendo over this because Shin Megami Tensei had all these features 6 years before the first Pokémon game ever existed.
You know nothing about my life. Nor, apparently, the lives of your neighbors who suffer beside you. To be this ignorant is a great privelege. I hope for your sake you never need to learn about the reality of the world around you, because when it comes knocking, it will not come quietly.
I am quite certain they would be happy to hear that their friends and family back home continued to live on past them.
Climate change is the sort of existential threat that will literally kill every single person you’ve ever met. It is not the same. If I could volunteer to give my own life to reverse catastrophic climate change it wouldn’t even be a question. But no matter how many of us go and die about it we are now past the point where we can make a difference. The ice caps are in runaway melt loops. This is now a self perpetuating problem that cannot be solved without some new major scientific breakthrough. Habitable portions of the earth are going to shrink to single digit percentages of what we have right now, over the next couple hundred years. We can no longer stop this from happening, and it all happened because some of the very worst parts of humanity decided they needed a few extra thousand dollars every year.
Housing prices? That’s your argument? That’s your bleak outlook?
Can’t afford a home? That means you’re homeless. That’s a crime now. To the prison work camp you go, chop chop.
Dude, up until relatively recently you couldn’t have a baby without it dying or dying yourself.
Still can’t in a lot of places. Not to mention, in America, assuming you both survive you’re now $50k in medical debt for the privelege of reproducing.
Common cold? Deceased.
People still die from pneumonia daily.
There are people alive today who are being murdered because their existence maddens someone and your argument is that your housing costs have gone up.
Two problems can exist at once.
Get some perspective. Your life isn’t that bad.
My friends and family and coworkers are the ones being threatened with murder because their existence maddens someone. Get some perspective.
Yeah this is spot on. Tech literacy is at an all time low, today’s kids and young adults are having to be taught during work orientation what a file browser is now.
People who are currently between the ages of 30 and 60 are the generation that learned how to use their technology effectively. Older than that and you’re likely to be the “clueless boomer” trope, younger than that and you’re likely to be a tablet baby.
Not to mention that in my experience at least, public school teachers cared about basically every single petty problem except for the ones that would have actually benefitted anyone. You’ve been punched straight in the face every single day for two years by the same bully? I sleep. One of the girls wore shorts this morning and has visible knees? Get sent straight home immediately. Do not pass Go. This is a sin that cannot be tolerated.
All that to say, this story is definitely made up but there are places in America today where it could happen 100% as written.
You could install Mint on your mother’s computer and don’t tell her, and she’d probably still think she was using Windows until it came time to install new software. Linux For Normies has come a long way, especially recently. It could be ready for mass adoption very soon, if not already.
Been seeing some of that as well, so I looked it up myself. The actual text of the EULA states:
"You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with the foregoing restrictions Nintendo may render the Nintendo Account Services and/or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.”
That’s a brick. They haven’t actually done it to anyone yet, but they’ve reserved their rights.
So I may shed my mortal flesh and exist as a shadow being upon the tapestry of the mind of another?
Sure yeah, I’m down
Same, and I know this is true and not just me being crazy because I’ve heard it rather than felt it when my phone is sitting on my desk.
Love my guy George. Listening to Cardboard Castles got me through a really rough time in my life and I don’t expect to ever be able to repay it. Least I can do is to spread the word.
Braindead former humans wander the land aimlessly and cause huge problems for everyone else.
They’re the same picture
“Nukular” never fails to make me seethe a little bit internally.
