Eventually yes, many years later.

In 98 I was in my early teens, and I got Banjo-Kazooie I was so happy, I jumped up and down, told my parents that this was exactly the game I wanted. I was thrilled. They were thrilled that I was. Life was good.

Unbeknownst to them, 2 weeks earlier I had carefully opened the gift, and had been playing the game over Christmas break. What I opened that night was an empty box, as the game sat inside the N64, where I was halfway to the end. Everyone won that Christmas. I won by playing sooner, and they won with my momentary fake enthusiasm (which was real, I really was thrilled to get the game).

Something something, life was never that good again, and I can only hope to give half that feeling to my kids now.

It’s a really good documentary because a lot of them actually want to be scientific about it.

But instead of following the scientific process of test->observe->draw a conclusion, they start with the conclusion and look for a way to prove it. And when the prof isn’t there, they simply say the test was flawed, and move on to the next test that will prove it.

It’s sad in a way. I don’t think, most of them anyway, are con man. They’re just misguided.

Just to add to the answers that the sort of thing you are talking about exists. It’s called low code, with companies like Outsystems and Mendix.

If you read the news from Portugal, the response was pretty atrocious.

For photos I use synology photos (it’s a legacy that’s good enough and I don’t want to migrate my parents and in-laws to immich). Photos are backed up logically into folders in normal type files, so in case the software stops working, it’s all still there.

For documents I use paperlessngx. Its less friendly should it stop working (the documents are numbered going up, no human names) but they are still pdf/jpg whatever, so its just some more work to get to know what they are.

Both of these have lasted me for years now, so I’m not too worried for the future.

As for all other files, just some shared folders where I back stuff up based on my own use.

Jokes on you, I have a third party porn app on my phone. And I’m a child.

Not in my age though, just a manchild….

Don’t put fucking fascism in the same sentence as soccer football. Fuck fascism and fuck FIFA. Football though, is the best.

frfr, Russia isn’t committing genocide. (Not defending Russia, if it’s not clear)

Tl;dr not a lot more on the article than the headline says.

Natasha probably more worried about what’s happening in her country than the state of US politics or whose ass Trump kisses.

Is that a fork of overseerr?

You are overthinking it. Just enjoy yourself and take ear protection — besides the concert being loud, teenage girls scream really loud.

Brother how do you make a typo on the top 6 letters?

While everyone should sign it, the campaign is about publishers that kill games that could conceivably remain working.

De-listing is likely a result of expired licensing or similar, and I don’t think it’s feasible (or realistic) to require companies to renew licenses in perpetuity just to keep selling games.

I will be that guy and not answer your original question. If you don’t have a way to charge at home, don’t get an electric car.

Besides the convenience factor, it’s far too expensive to use public chargers. It will not be worth it at all.

People in the Nintendo sub?

I’ll throw in something most people haven’t watched: The Brink

Being a popularity contest is not a problem. It’s always been like that, it’s “whatever”. Like it, don’t like. Doesn’t matter.

But Israel manipulating votes to “artwash” genocide is a whole different bag of cats, and very wrong.
