With that money you could buy yourself a default search engine position at Apple.

Snowboarders like you are such chill dudes. I never was much of a skater as a kid tho I did pick up snowboarding. Last week I strapped my board again, it’s been at least 9 years, was nervous about it as I am not as flexible as I used to (am 38 now) and this kid comes up and says: “Huck Knife! Nice board dude!” Made my day. Made me loose my anxiety and learned that I still knew how to ride.

I really don’t understand people who don’t close tabs. I start with a fresh browser window multiple times per day.

On a drunk Thursday night out noticed my bike wasn’t where I thought I left it. Decided to steal a bike myself on my way home. A week later, again on Thursday night, ran into this girl and had a great time. She didn’t have a bike so I offered to bring her home. While getting closer to her house, I started to recognise the area… this is where I stole the bike. Asked her what happened to hers (legit question, everybody has a bike in the Netherlands) . Told me hers got stolen the week before. I started to feel awkward when we stopped exactly at the place where I had stolen the bike. Apparently this was where she lived. Told her this was where I grabbed a bike a week before. She looked at the bike, and I shit you not, it was hers. I hooked up with the girl that I stole a bike from. Fast forward a year and a half later, decided I do not believe in “Meant to be” shit and broke up with her. Some time later I meet a different girl, the love of my live… this is 20 years ago now, we’re now expecting our first kid.

Was gonna say, 1st and 2nd should be switched

Has to be The Matrix. Was 13 or 14 at the time of release, marketing around it was very mysterious. Obviously my childmind was blown during opening scene!

I had those moments multiple times. I remember thinking the same about International Karate on the Amiga. Then my mind was blown with Street Fighter II, Max Payne was one for sure as mentioned elsewhere and let’s not forget Carmageddon, which got a little bit too realistic. Graphics technology developed so fast, you can’t compare it to today’s upgrades. As I’m older now 10 year old games still feel “new” to me.

No, as a webdeveloper I don’t know anything about your custom windows server environment and how to share files between all kinds of devices on it.

I see your SoF and raise you a Heretic/Hexen revival

Ah yes, the Tool pop-up. When console.log just quite doesn’t cut it

My rate has just gone up if someone wants to hire me for exposure.

Ein verletzter! Alarm alarm!

Oh Bose? I mean it can be an upgrade, but wait until you buy actual good headphones.

Microprose, now there’s a name I haven’t in a while.

checks wiki aside from the brand, it has nothing to do with Sid’s old company.

I know it’s illegal. But I mean it’s stupid that it is, cause it’s harmless. Maybe that’s me being Dutch, but it’s so hypocritical.

The remasters coming out now is such bullshit, I mean Horizon Zero Down… are you kidding me?

Fun fact: in Dutch a knife is a “mes”

Oof that hit me right in the nostalgia, now that I think of it, I realise it was from the same studio that did Wing Commander which also had quite the cast.

There is no “left” in USA, Democrats would be centre at best in Europe. Sure from the GOP pov they seem left, but that’s because republicans are extremely to the right.

We only have rights to the characters, not the games

How does that work? Gregg didn’t create original characters here.

Sounds like a villain origin story

Same here, try to de-google my life while sitting comfortably in the Apple ecosystem as the happy hypocrite that I am. But the ecosystem is also the main reason to stay, not that it is hard to get out, but it is just a vastly superior experience if you don’t want to spend unlimited hours to customize every goddamn setting. Also, the ecosystem’s main feature ‘continuity’ is unmatched on other systems.

Just so that we’re on the same page. It isn’t a crime, right?

The complete OST has to be my go to music for when I need that extra push. Such bangers.

Lenny indeed lacks some casual fucks, almost every thread has some extreme opinions. I had someone unironically try to explain to me why it would be beneficial to the human race to go extinct.

This year I stopped to let my clients pick the CMS. I tell them you wouldn’t ask a carpenter to make a chair, but restrict them to only use metal.

Ok I concede, you had me

Aren’t these all new games?

Bad? In what sense?

Lands of Lore, together with English-Dutch dictionary cause little me got stuck every few steps.

Could you elaborate? You’re saying you’re going to google for programming issues, but at the same time devs don’t do SEO?

Sounds like you might want to add some sort of terms of agreement to your estimates. I built sites that never saw the light of day, but that is entirely up to the client. A site not being live doesn’t mean my client doesn’t need to pay me.

Love Day9, have been following him since the dailies, with Monday as highlight of the week. Stuck around for Mostly Walking, which he still does. Also, at least once a year I rewatch the three VODs of Day9 teaching itmeJP The Build, The Pause, and voidrays… gets me everytime.

Same, the “what is the Matrix” marketing was so mysterious and effective.

Didn’t knew Commandos was gonna come back, great news

It has the same hypnotic effect Vampire Survivors had on me. I still hear the original music in my head sometimes.

Although Metzen is back, Blizzard will never be the Blizzard of old. They are just too big now. I am very curious to see what Morheim will bring to the table though.

Ah ok, yeah you need to have some luck at the start. Once you unlock more decks it gets easier. And every once in a while it just clicks and numbers go up!

I am not sure you know what you are talking about. How is react the factor here of making it 500 MB?

So first you say: Don’t bear children. And now you’re trying to counteract my point by saying: think of the children… I’m positive you didn’t even read beyond my first sentence. Cause I’m literally saying we need to get our shit together.
