We used to leave on our bikes for the day (no phones, so basically unreachable). The only rule was you had be back by dinner.

Its crazy that they burnt through almost a billion and theyre nickle and dime'n people for ship insurance/ single player. If I gave their crowdfund a penny (and waited 12 years), I'd be demanding a free game.

Ads popping up in your game list, price hike on playstation plus. Geez investing in a gaming PC is looking better and better.

Fans: "This sucks" Developers: "It wasnt our choice, it was sony" Sony: "Hahaha deal with it and give us your money" Fans: "Fine, okay"

My last 2 phones stopped charging through the ports. Keep that wireless charger, it may come in handy. Saved me from buying a new phone for at least a year.

Veterinarians

I'd settle for a headphone jack period. Any suggestions?

Lemmy world mods are a joke.

It was definitely the time to do stupid shit, but it was also great freedom. I remember constructing skate parks in abandoned factories that would rival some of the best pre fabs today. We made a 2 story indoor go-ped track. Obviously very dangerous stuff, but i wouldn't trade those memories for anything.

Go touch grass = just dont think about how the world is going to shit. lol great advice everyone

Pandora. I remember when it was a "music experiment"

Mods, I know this doesnt follow post criteria, but I thought it was relevant. Please remove if its no bueno.

Paid streaming services that have ads in the UI (youtubetv). Amazon firesticks having ads on the UI. I actually complained to YTTV and they sent me an email explaining why there are commercial on live TV, pissed me off even more.

TIL Helldivers 1 was a top down shooter. Not from the article, I was just curious.

still waiting for a new Skate (I know its in beta)

In my own experience I found that .world communities are usually the ones to stay away from. Most of the comments devolve into petty bickering and go off topic quickly. It was a great improvement when I made a new sub list of topics from other instances. They arent as active, but the quality of discussions is higher and respectful.

So basically this guy is behind EAs thirst for micro transactions and getting rid of physical copies. Anything he says in cringe.

I never played EFT but I saw their 250$ price point and laughed. Then I read they lied about access to upcoming DLCs. Who's still playing this game? Bots and trustfund fanboys.

and then Intergalactic

Not as drastic as some of these comments, but I used to be pulled over once a month when I had long hair and a beard. I had a 45 minute commute everyday and like clockwork, once a month I would get pulled over for a bs reason (speeding by 5mph, flashing highs to warn other drivers, suspicious vehicle etc). Once I cut my hair, no more problems, go figure.

The Tamagotchi - for obvious reasons.

Yup this is definitely the first thing to check. Unfortunately I think it was my need for bulky un-destructible cases, that bent my charging ports.

Dirt tracks were amazing. We had a few, one of which was a huge bowl in the ground. The jumps were enormous and I always thought "whos hitting these?" Like pro level size and you would never see anyone on them. Then you'd hear "so and so" did a 3 on that one. It made for some good myths. Luckily there was so much empty space, we'd just make some jumps for our skill level.

IDK why that happened. Im speaking with levelcap to see why it went private. Could be something juicy or just a copyright claim.

I had a MTV Road Rules page on angelfire. Its still there, but the HTML is embarrassing. (this was when frames were becoming popular on sites. 1999ish)

"In his first year as CEO, Wilson initiated a "player-first" corporate strategy, and offered more free-to-play games and in-app purchase options.[7] In a move towards a transformation from physical software to digital, he also greatly increased EA's digital offerings, and launched EA Access, a subscription-based digital service for Xbox One players that allows unlimited play across a selection of EA titles.[7][8] Electronic Arts had a large revenue increase and its stock price doubled in 2014.[7][9]" -wiki

I was talking about the one last year but sure a chit, there will be another coming soon.

I read the headline and thought "well yea, no shit. Thats what happens". It must be a slow news day (you can only report the "new" release date for gta so many times).

Social media ;) /s

I was going to say 12 foot ladder, but that doesnt work. Does anyone have a similar site that would do the job?

Much appreciated, thanks

I looked into this, but the closest to me was about 1 hour away. When I looked up the streetview, it was a guy's garage with small shady sign infront lol

I've slept on Horizons for too long and finally downloaded Zero Dawn. I cant believe I deprived myself of such a visually great game. Now I have Forbidden West in the queue. So yea, I got that going for me. Also Surviving the Aftermath has been a good time killer.

Ive never paid for subscription on pandora. The ad version isnt that bad, but I also dont listen to it for more than an hour at a time. I would say on average I get 5 -15 second ads an hour.

Ill fight anyone who downvotes this! 🤪

What would you recommend for a 700 setup? Just processor and gpu is fine. They would be most of the budget.

how'd you guess? haha

There it is, meet me at 4 behind the Wawa. Its on!

Give my phone to some guy in his garage to fix or just use the wireless charger. Thats an easy choice every time haha
