To this day I still don’t know what Vegemite is. To me it’s the thing from the sandwich from down under. And that’s good enough.

So he’s saying one day it may make sense to get one? Great sales pitch.
- Comment on If everyone spontaneously became the same race the world would realize that the rich are the real problem 3 weeks ago:
And people would also track down and document what race people used to be before the change happened so that they could keep on hating too.

Oh I didn’t know that! Gonna have to take a trip through some old photos one of these days.

You know what? I just realized I haven’t actually tried to open a webp file in years. I’m just so used to cancelling the save dialog and taking a screenshot instead when I see a webp extension, I didn’t even consider it might actually be supported now.

He’s probably no longer there, the pic is quite old and Google has updated a lot of its street view stuff over the years. Unless this is some place where 2012 was the first time that google decided to map - in that case it may be pretty low on the priority list for updating.

A second vote for Core Keeper here. I think it’s a safer option than Terraria, which could also be a good option but isn’t for everyone.

That’s pretty good, webrtc deserves that money.

Why are people who understand what they talk about always so pessimistic? Pessimism is not good for your health - they shouldn’t be dismissive of anything just because of what might/will happen in the future. Learn something from the folks who talk out of their elbows and start living in the moment. The world hasn’t ended even once before, so why worry about it? Let people do whatever they want and if that leads to the end of the human species completely, then we deal with that after it happens.
- Comment on Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy? 1 month ago:
I kinda agree with you to some extent. At the time my general reaction was something like: “everything it does, it does wonderfully. But I wish it did more”.

- Comment on Apple sued by shareholders for allegedly overstating AI progress 2 months ago:
I remember at one point the front-end guys I knew were laughing that it didn’t even support iframes. But I imagine it eventually got decent enough.

Meanwhile in my company the leadership just thinks that we have a messaging problem after the new AI stuff we implemented made absolutely no difference in the sales numbers.

I remember a game I played ~9 years ago where you could send ships to explore the world and when they got back you had the option to reject their findings. If you never rejected anything, the world would be exactly like Earth, but everytime you rejected it would randomize the section that had been explored and over time it would start generating a whole new world.
And you could even make the planet flat by rejecting the discovery of it being round.
- Comment on Do you remember Windows 95? How about Windows 96? 2 months ago:
Windows Vista is Microsoft’s greatest success, because it’s main purpose was to make people forget the promises made for Longhorn.

- Comment on 10 incredible PC games that never got console ports—until Steam Deck happened 2 months ago:
I got the game from some magazine, in a time I didn’t have many choices for games. I didn’t speak much English yet at the time so I had trouble getting past some stuff and didn’t get very far. I even named my first dog after the robot dog in the game.
I picked it up on steam a few years ago and tried it again. I think I got much farther than I had back in the day, but still didn’t finish it. I think I might try it again on deck now.

Sir, there’s something wrong here. I spent 20 years believing I was the only person who ever played Septerra Core, and it’s too long to change my mind now.
- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 2 months ago:
You probably have different gaming habits than me, or a hell of a memory. I’ve likely played over 4 thousand different games over the course of my life so far.
… Now I want to use one of those tools to try to figure out this number.

AI is not the new NFT but also not the new Internet. It’s the new touchscreen. Amazing in some contexts, but forced down on every other.
- Comment on ‘We tried and it didn’t work out’: CDPR co-founder says it shouldn’t stray from AAA open-world RPGs 2 months ago:
Oh yeah I played Elden Ring too. Avowed I tried but didn’t like; the other two really aren’t my type of game.

Any such experiences in the last few years? I think the last AAA games I’ve played where RDR2 and Spider Man.
