I put 200hrs into that game many years ago. Had a good time for a while, but it was one of those games where eventually a switch clicked in my brain and I felt like I was wasting my life away playing it. So I just stopped.
The last time I got interested in it again, I saw that the devs had basically abandoned it, or were relying on modders to do all the work to maintain it or something along those lines. I am glad to see people are keeping it alive and making it something more.
I’m far more bothered by them making Brave the built-in default browser, than I am by them charging for themes & tech support.
I by no means want to defend Microsoft. But I’m pretty sure that was said by an overzealous marketing person who didn’t understand correctly, and this was corrected by Microsoft soon after.
God fucking dammit.
It was James Buchanan, not Van Buren that was a lifelong bachelor with a “roommate.”
I was just looking it up to make a comment about it. He was also a pro slavery president.
Lucky number 7.
That’s pretty much why I am studying it.
Of all the things the French tried to “fix” during the revolution, it amazes me that they didn’t try to simplify the way they say large numbers. Or if they did, that it didn’t stick.
I am trying to learn French, and haven’t got into large numbers yet, but I know about this, and I am dreading it.
Except that wheelchair looks like it would actually be fun to try. Unlike any AI chatbot I have heard of.
Yep. There also emissions vs weight or payload of the vehicle regulations that make it even less profitable to produce small pickups here.
Yep, and nobody makes a true equivalent to the small pickup anymore. Even the Ford Maverick is bigger than 90s Tacomas, and Rangers
Yeah, my car is 18 years old, has almost 300k miles on it, and because it’s desirable and not made anymore, it’s still worth about half what I paid for it 14 years ago.
A brand new car.
Buy used, let someone else take the depreciation hit.
yeah. We recieved one as a gift. It was ok for a while, but you had to keep the floor clear, and it was always getting stuck. Now with small kids. Forget about it.
Him co-opting Skippy into his bullshit pisses me off even more. What did that sketchy little talking beer can do to deserve to have his name smeared like that?
Living in Texas, the land of massive, scorching hot, sun drenched parking lots, I just cannot understand why solar awnings like that have not become the standard.
Oh wait, oil lobbyists… that’s why…
I can technically claim I started with a hand me down C64 from my grandmother in the early 90s. But I was like 6 years old, and I didn’t really get into computers until we got a Windows 95 machine a couple of years later. Though by 99-2000 I was regularly playing around with the C64 for the novelty of what felt like ancient tech.
I remember using dialup internet on windows 98 in the late 90s to look up how to use the C64.
Wow. I really feel like I am comparing apples to oranges back in ancient Egypt!
She is absolutely terrifying looking in that picture.
