The Wizard of Oz (1939)

I know I was a bad partner and didn’t deserve you but you still should have given me back my N64.

Didn’t he have Blair White on his show?

I always assume they’re really happy without me and that I gave them the one experience that made their next partners seem perfect by comparison.

Reach deep into your heart and tell me… is Deftones overrated?

Yeah I probably was. They made a physical cart for 5200 too right?

Why do you rush and scurry
Your life doesn’t seem so hard
The bobcat behind you is in no hurry

I could have sworn there was a commercial Atari 800 version too but seems not—must have been thinkings of a more recent homebrew / unlicensed port. No offense to Breakout and Kaboom but Warlords justify the controllers for me.

All I really want is to go to someone’s house and play Warlords all night.

I know I liked Buffy and Firefly at the time but the memory is tainted like when I remember loving Xbox 360.

Yeah is math created or observed is a subset of this argument. In this case the question isn’t really whether math is metaphysical. It’s typically framed as whether math is a substrate that the physical world is built on top of.

When I form a sentence there are many neural pathways and oxygen carrying blood that flow physically to orchestrate that activity so I feel it is properly physically based. When I suddenly couldn’t speak we would troubleshoot physically not metaphorically.

Well then what the hell is even the point of Proton Mail anymore?

I feel like if I can interact with it it’s physical and if I can’t interact with it then I can’t know that it exists.

Two of these are on my list.

Which is not to say there’s never a case for a speaking protagonist but it does feel categorically different for me.

Probably one of our biggest gaming disagreements but I consider it a subjective preference. I like it like I usually prefer text to a phone call, a FAQ to a video, and a command prompt to a window. I want to do the thing while watching movie or bopping music or enjoying the game’s other characters.

really wish people would get any kind of practical experience before they post takes and opinions on something

its bad to be confident that you know everything, and its also bad to assume you know enough to be a critic

I guess audiences only have appetite for about one Frankenstein movie per decade?

POV: You’re looking at the files section right after the sysop broke into chat and said “dude this is the first time I’ve ever seen the HST light come on…let me give you warez access”

This is acceptable.

The image shows a rectangular Roman dice tower (turricula) made of four copper alloy (bronze) plates with punched cut-out Latin letters and cut-out decorative patterns. At the bottom front is a stepped exit chute with small bronze bells attached to the opening. The tower is a Roman anti-cheating device. It has an open top and is hollow inside except for three staggered, downward-sloping plates, designed to randomize dice as they fall, ensuring unpredictable dice rolls. When the dice rolled out of the exit chute they rang the bells! There is a decorative dolphin either side of the stepped exit chute. The top of the front plate has two decorative pine cone finials. Height 25 cm. There is a single die shown next to the stepped base to illustrate how it was used. The front inscription reads: PICTOS VICTOS HOSTIS DELETA LVDITE SECVRI Translated as: ‘The Picts defeated, the enemy has been destroyed, play in safety’. Around the top of the three remaining sides, a second inscription made with cut out letters reads: ‘UTERI/FELIX/VIVAS’ translated as ‘Use happily; may you live well’. Found at a Roman villa at Froitzheim in Germany in 1985.

Roman anti-cheating gaming accessory!

This Roman ‘turricula’ (dice tower) was used to ensure a fair roll of the dice! 🎲🎲🎲

Dice dropped into the top, tumbled over sloping internal levels, and appeared randomly below.

From Froitzheim, Germany, AD 300-400

I just keep imagining some kid telling another kid “it wants you to bring it the meat.”

The irony of this after my play through of Zelda 1 and wondering how anyone figured out some of the stuff in that game.

I hate when the simulation makes a comic like this that tells you the answer.

Remember Darth Vader? This is him now. Feel old yet?
