i should be gripping rat

  • lord, if only we lived in a world where things made sense...

  • i mean, if they have a Series X and it still runs all the modern games, there ain't a strong reason to upgrade at exactly this moment. That console will keep chugging along for a few more years at least.

  • losing a pet is so hard, doubly-so when they've been by your side for over a decade. I don't know if you've done anything to commemorate your buddy yet, but I highly recommend holding some kind of funeral or memorial if you haven't already. Invite all your friends that knew Ralph well, share some tea and fond memories about him. Hug your friends and cry together. It won't make you stop missing him, but it helps a lot more than you might think.

  • they don't make disturbing kid's content like they used to.

  • ehhh i hear you, "abandonware" can be defined as "software which is no longer supported or updated", but that is a very broad definition. I think one could also define abandonware as "software which is no longer supported or updated, and which has no clear IP owner anymore", and I think that that is the colloquial definition for a lot of people. I think we need a new word for one of these two definitions.

  • What do you love about it over something like, say, the standard Xbox controller? That's what I use for PC and it's been very reliable.

  • The rumor is that the next Xbox will also just be a gaming PC. If Microsoft has an offering similar to Valve, except it's on Windows so there is better game compatibility, does that not entice you to stick with Xbox?

    (tbc I'm not saying you should stick with Xbox - M$ is morally bankrupt and Windows 11 is a bloatware-ridden mess. Just inviting you to elaborate on your thinking, if you want to)

  • time to go buy an old cow-colored HP computer off ebay just to make it work!

  • dude 3D movie maker was my shit. Glad to find another former movie maker stan - I used to put entire evenings into making stupid little animations. That was the game that taught me what it feels like to be completely immersed in a creative project. McZee still haunts my nightmares, tho....

  • 3D Movie Maker? Casino Inc? Theme Park?

  • it's in the title, bro.

  • Right, like, why are we writing this kind of piece in 2025? She's just retiring, calm down. I'll accept this kind of puff piece when she actually kicks it - at that point, it'll be worth remembering the good things she did, and remembering her entire arc as a grim warning for the young radicals of today. But she's just retiring. Let's not inflate her ego while she's still alive, and still using the American people for profit.

  • It was a real gem. I haven't gone DEEP on it before, but I've really enjoyed what I played of it.

  • The record is for time from announcement to release. ES6 was announced 7 years ago, so we're getting there but not quite. It might still break the record by the time it comes out...

  • I think a game has to actually release to break this record. And in the article, Purchese points out that the current record holder is Duke Nukem Forever, while Beyond Good & Evil 2 might break the record if it ever actually comes out.

  • At least in that case, the devs have presented playable content. I don't think I would count that if I was trying to determine the record.

  • Hmm I'm not sure about contributing. You've presented yourself as someone too broke to afford a VPN so I didn't think you were buying CDs and ripping flacs. Sorry if I misunderstood your goals. I was more focused on the goal of obtaining files.

    Edit: ps, not sure if you saw yet, but I pm'd you about another possible solution.

  • If they haven't divested yet, they have no morals and no common sense. Or they are betting on a more friendly future for Nazis. Either way, I think we need to stop caring what Tesla investors think. They're all Nazi sympathizers at this point.

  • Either way, if ruins it for everyone else.

    How does it ruin it for everyone else? One slow peer does not ruin the network.
