Unrelated, but I read “Definitely true for Gamers” twice. I was so confused.

I had the same thought initially, and unfortunately it wasn’t just GTA. However, IMHO Diablo II Resurrected was an amazing exception, and I’m sure there are others. Plus, the OP’s question was probably about an ideal case and they wanted to know what people have been missing from the past.

Realistically, I wouldn’t expect a decent comeback of Guitar Hero 3 for example, but it sucks that it doesn’t really work on Win10/11 anymore, and while Clone Hero exists, it doesn’t have the same “story” mode as GH3 had, with characters, milestones and such. Hell, you can’t even get “booed out”.

Too bad that as you mentioned, even if there was demand, a random big company would just buy the rights, do some lazy upscale and sell it like it was gourmet shit.

Honestly, if it was me reading about the pixie dust, I would just find it hilarious and probably not mention it, since I got the joke.

I can’t remember the last one, so I’ll tell the one before.

I think I had activated some really primal stuff. You know how so many animals cuddle in a bunch, often in entire groups, to keep warm and sleep together? Yeah, I was basically just lying down, with members from my family, on top of my father’s rhythmically raising-falling belly, right on the edge of falling asleep (within my dream).

It was heaven. The most peaceful I have felt in a looong time. Despite us humans being boney animals (by default), it just felt so soft and comfy. I think it must have been some leftover from ancient hominid (?) life.

Wißt du den Weg?

And then there are the (multiplayer) gamers. It’s great that I can play SO many more offline/single player games than I used to on Linux, but I can’t help if the ones I like to play are all unsupported (and probably will be for a looong time).

I would have switched to Linux about 20 years ago if it was possible, but unfortunately, developing exploit free, stable anti cheats for competitive multiplayers on multiple OS’s is a nightmare, and I get why most developers resort to picking the currently most widely used one. It’s just a shame because otherwise I prefer Linux over Windows in many aspects.

At one point the same activity started ruining /r/animalsbeinggeniuses. Either utterly dumb users, or, more likely, botted accounts started spamming the sub with random animal photos/videos. Then, when I dared to point out that a sitting cat/dog isn’t just genius for simply being cute or by being able to jump far, I often got downvoted because bUt It’S sO cUtE, hOw CaN yOu HaTe CuTe AnImAlS.

I stopped following Reddit content more than a year ago, but I’m not too surprised to see that the same is happening everywhere else.

I wouldn’t be surprised, considering the accent of scammers calling me with phone plans and stuff.

Well, that’s rather reassuring.

I can’t wrap my head around how people can ignore all those red flags. 2-3 days ago I just got a text from a random number about some parking fine. Not just that, but it said that that day was the last day I could get a 50% DISCOUNT on the fine. A fucking DISCOUNT! What’s next? I can use my Nectar card? Do I get a loyalty card with a stamp on it? But it’s not even the fact that I wasn’t contacted by mail, or there was no other contact given; I don’t even have a fucking car. Or a driving license in this country.

The guy is so bad I assume he is that guy of Newcastle. There must be other that guys in other cities - who knows, maybe several; but I would bet at least 15 pence (probably even 20) that if it’s Newcastle then it’s this guy.

Newcastle?

in Italy

Just gesticulates his discontent

Wait, I think I know how that looked like.

We are the plastic eating bacteria.

You can tell them you’re not wasting any of it because eventually it will be used, none of it will get spoiled and people tend to actually need that bog roll within a week or two. Also, it’s a ONE time “double” buy, because from then on you buy everything once just the same; you just make sure you don’t end up spending even MORE when you run out of the 24 roll TP bag and have to quickly buy a less eco 6-pack.

Interesting, I know this one with beer.

Buying another box, bag, etc. of soap, toilet paper, tooth paste and whatever long lasting product before it runs out. It doesn’t expire (fast), therefore I always have a second, full bag as a buffer, and as soon I have to open the second one, I put it on the shopping list so there is always a buffer bag and I don’t get annoyed if I still forget to buy one or it’s out of stock.

It’s been years since I had to use some weird substitute for toilet paper.

In my language we just called it small Nintendo.

Even if there was a single ad that I would want to click on, ever, I would still just simply look up the site instead. The only reason I’ve clicked an ad in the past 20 years was when I did it accidentally. They know that (as in, they know that the click ratio will be low) and I’m sure their goal is just for you to see the ad.

And the sink strainer is there to save and repurpose the corn.
