This is true, and is why I annoyingly have to keep robots.txt on my unpublished domains. Google does honor them for the most part, for now.

Hah, I came to mention Gaiden as I love that game. You and the article are both correct for the most part, it definitely has story elements relating to Space Jam, not to mention Ghost Dad, and other seemingly random sources, but what you describe is probably the best quick summary of the setting.

It sounds so ridiculous, and I suppose it is, but it was so well done and entertaining.

The creator was working on the sequel for years and then kinda disappeared. It is probably for the best because I can’t see it living up to the hype of the weird fans like myself (and I can’t stand backetball!).

Edit: I just realized that the new game from the article is called “Hoops: Shut up and Jam”. Hoops was the name of Barkley’s son in Gaiden lol

I just want my grocery store to start playing JRPG OSTs. Buying vegetables while jaming to Chrono Trigger songs would be the best. Black Omen? More like best Omen.

Your ancestor probably pissed off a witch. My condolences

Four games and you decide to include Pong and it’s far superior successor Super Breakout? Moronic, there are tons of 2600 games that would have worked just as well on a watch.

I just looked in detail through their privacy policy, and it looks like if you use their “service” they are collecting quite a bit of data, certainly more than I would have expected. I only use stand alone, non-federated homeservers and I have everything disabled as far as telemetry, etc, but I think you’ve convinced me to keep an eye on the other clients. I last test drove several last year and all of them were either lacking features I needed or had issues.

Are you specifically referring to the mobile client of Element? i wasn’t away of anything with the desktop client that has anything to do with location.

My first car had a bench seat as well, can’t say I miss that at all

Perfect! Though we shouldn’t give Netflix and co any ideas on more classics to dredge up and ruin.

Oh, I remember ed! He’s the talking horse from that old black and white show, right?

Wow, that is very disappointing. I had started using startpage as a Google alternative. While it still may be preferable to Google specifically, their mail product is definitely out.

Yes

I hear police boxes and phones booths are popular as well.

My current favorite music player on PC is Quod Libet. It gives a bit of the old FB2K vibe with how its music selection works as well as all the plugins. I use it on Linux, but I know they have a Windows version as well.

Some instances have their own political leanings that can affect content and moderation. The “Tankies” referred to in the previous post tend to be Russia/China supportive anti-capitalist posters. Not everyone on those instances leans that way (I don’t), but some instances don’t federate with those three, especially lemmygrad and hexbears, because of it. You can also individually block instances if you personally don’t want to see their stuff. On the whole, you probably don’t need to worry about it, but if it becomes annoying you have the option.

DeSantis specifically stated that it was to get rid of “woke indoctrination in schools” when he enacted a very similar program in Florida. So, while you are correct that most veteran employment programs used to be about that, the recent teacher one is more about the shitty right wing politics.

In high school, I used to look for the most offensive bumper stickers possible. My favorite was from a band I liked that said “Genitorturers sodomized my honor student”. Let’s just say that parents of other kids did not like it.

Pinball Fantasies, Raptor, Heretic

I knew someone in school that had a CD-i and I was excited to try out the Zelda game… I made a terrible mistake as did the people that made it. It’s probably still a cool collector’s item, but man it was bad.

Not the person you replied to, but the phone number requirement is one of the main reasons that I don’t use Signal.
