In 50 years I reckon the one on the left might have aged better. Based solely on past performance, cutesy stylised graphics of the N64 kick the shit out of almost anything the technically superior PS1 put out.

ETA : Stylised things from ps1 are excluded from that statement. Crash bandicoot and the like.

  1. That scared the crap out of me as a child. Absolutely no warning that it was coming.

Also its not anywhere because the company that made it doesnt exist any more so technically nobody has the rights to sell it. There's going to be a lot more legal technicalities than that but that's basically it.

Why have I never heard of this before that's a brilliant idea. Do they grow mad mold quickly?

Mega Man is a pretty sweet example, explained by this blast from the past.

Right now they are. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Compared to just 20 years ago we're living in the future. You may not have noticed the progress because you'd expect the future to includes hoverboards.

I guess for the fast food orders there could be some insights with enough volume and associated data (time, frequency, location.)

If someone suddenly started ordering loads or boycotted that one that decided homophobia was the way to go or something you could sense political leaning.

You could get a sense of allergies or vegetarianism.

You may figure out payday

Could maybe get a feel for menstrual cycles

Could figure out someone's route home

Family size maybe.

Probably more idk.

In a way it's more fair by design. In a completely fair game the most skilled player will always win. In a game like Mario Kart everyone has a chance to win.

As a kid my family wouldn't play most games with me because I won every time. If we couldn't do co-op mode we didnt play, and they'd still get grumbly on co-op because I'd be doing the heavy lifting and showing them up. They'd play Mario Kart and Mario Party with me though.

As an e-sport or "compare your online rank to mine and weep" dick-measurer it sucks. As a video game its very good.

That's exactly why I refuse to use tutorials from YouTube. I'm just here to learn the thing you said you were teaching in the title. Im not looking to smash that subscribe button and ding the bell and comment below if I want to see more and see how all your other videos were doing or learn about how you got started in whatever field this is or when the thing was invented or little known facts about the thing that is useless filler to get you up to 10 minutes and im still not interested in like and subscribing and I don't want to hear about how grateful you are about getting to whatever number of subscribers you have and just get to the fucking topic you promised you bitch

I have the ability to do the job you require and am willing to do it in the listed times for the price stated. Let's get this going.

I bloody hate having to be all "yeah im really passionate about mopping floors at 6am? There's nothing I love more than getting yelled at by customers."

It frustrates me because having to suck them off like that is the only technique that works because why don't interviewers see straight through it? Their entire purpose at that point is to hire the best guy for the job, and consistently they just fall for bullshit.

I peaked hard on Halo. I wish I had the gear/inclination to start a YouTube channel for it. Back in those days YouTube wasn't the high-paying career it is today, and i was convinced it would be a waste of money to get the gear required to start one.

I've properly grown up since then though, and now im nowhere near the best at any video game. I often wonder how different life would be if I'd managed to just sit at home playing games every day and be a near millionaire from it.

Tunic felt to me like being 3 or 4 again. Unable to read the instructions, working it out from the pictures and button icons.

I didnt complete it, I got stuck against some baddy quite early on and just sorta lost interest, but its on my list of games to go back to.

 

To people who were born speaking a language then moved to somewhere with a different language. Do you find your inner monologue speaking the new language or do you think natively and translate for speech?

 

More a shower question than a shower thought I guess, but still.

 

Magic may well have been real. Healing crystals, shamanry, witchcraft, voodoo, things of this nature may have been real at one point and have since been patched out. These could have simply been glitches in the program.

We've all heard of glitches in games that can be exploited that eventually get patched. Could have been real.
