I hate microsoft but really liked windows phone and cortana. Something about tiles made a lot of sense and the keyboard was clean af.

I am very sure they were the first to have url bar above the keyboard in their browser WHICH WAS VERY HELPFUL BECAUSE YOUR FINGERS ARE ALREADY AT THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE PHONE LIKE OMFG.

like there was so many little things they did that just worked and worked well. rip windows phone, i will tell my grandkids about you.

idk if this is on topic but I remember playing jak3 as a kid and after i constantly died, that stupid fkin rat pops up and said something like “You suck”. I think i cried for a bit lmao

I forget where I saw this comment, but once in a while I think about it and chuckle.

Can you imagine finding planet Earth and wonder why all their nukes are pointed at themselves?

I think that a lot of people are gonna feel dissapointed if any info is revealed. The fantasy tends to be jucier than the reality. I too would like to clap that blue alien from mass effect but it aint gonna happen ;_;

something something the dildos IS the southern agression :^]

If I remember correctly (from my mom who grew up in Taiwan) asus, acer, and msi(?) used to be one giant company that was split into three. so it doesnt really surprise me that their design teams share some cringe similarities ( okay i mean like ik this split was a long time ago but like they all do the same thing).

i always thought rog (republic of gamers) was just a play on roc (republic of china aka taiwan). Im just waiting for gigabyte to come out with peoples republic of gamers

;_; dammmmnn i didnt know i was struggling in my youth.

and/or they looj at lex and worship him for all the wrong reasons.

I have heard that people used to be super PISSED that steam is required for valve games. I guess it makes sense now considering hdd sizes back then.

I recommend Nobara OS nvidia version. This comes with drivers during initial installation so no need to follow wiki guides and spend additional time carefully installing stuff. The biggest “plus” is that (assuming you are using discord), they have a pretty large discord server where you can ask questions and stuff.

Even though its just a spin on fedora, I think this community and distro is good for newcomers who also game.

are we talking about feet hours or meter hours?

Mancala. omg I still remember learning how to play in Kindergarten and I’m almost 30 now. This game was probably my very first addiction.

It don fuckin matter what its called, it better have teeth marks on it brother.

thank you i will do what you tell me, thank you i will do what you tell me, thank you i will do what you tell me, thank you i will do what you tell me, UHHHHHHHH

and his song is a fucking BANGER. Glory glory hallelujah!!!

I dont play a lot of chess and I’m bad at it but I recommend playing chess puzzles or timed chess. If it helps, just think of it as a mini skermish on one area of the “map”.

While there is competitive chess, I think the advantage it has over most things is that many people know how to play and that most of the time its a casual background game. Like you aren’t trying to win, you are trying to not lose.

When someone is playing at a house party, it’s so much fun to make wierd faces after they played a move or so.

Yeah… everytime I see it in movies I kinda cringe. However it still is an effective narrative tool to say that the person is a stategist or is in a higher tax bracket ( or honestly any quality that the common viewer doesn’t have). Even so, I wish writers would stop doing this.

Omg I remember watching those youtube trailers on repeat as a kid. It looked so cool and made so much sense to combine parkour and fps. Never got to play it though :/ I don’t think I have ever been as hyped for anything after Brink.

I think I have a similar experience, just a few years off.I didn’t grow up with nes or snes but my parents did. Took me a while to find out that my parents used to be gamers because during childhood, gaming was basically banned. I didn’t learn until later on in life that the reason why it was banned was because it was tooooo addicting (for them lol) like my mom sold her entire snes collection and my dad just hid his sega genesis and nomad. Gaming only picked up for me when I got my first computer. After a decade of multiplayer gaming, I’m finally starting to play games that I had missed out during my childhood and let me tell you, holy shit these games are fun. Would life be any different if I had access to these consoles growing up? Probably, but either way I am sure I would still have fun.

Whenever both of my parents retire, Im gonna setup my parents consoles ( will prob emulate snes cuz its too expensive to buy) and be like “You cant die yet mom/dad, you’re gonna have to beat all these games in your library lol”.

idk if youtube links are allowed but if you haven’t seen it already, please look up black dynamite vs nixon. I will cheer for you.
