  TBF, that’s about as “new” as 5G, though. Even earlier, if radio waves count as “wifi” in this regard. Ever since in-home transmitters were widely adopted, this has been not only possible but quietly deployed by various intel ops. I mean, FFS, even some fire depts use similar for S&R as it bypasses obscuration by smoke, etc. 😅🤓

  Can we keep it respectful, though? 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Back in the early Sim days (~97?), I lived with a bunch of friends in a duplex and shared one house computer (always on, seeding, etc.) that had a perpetual session running. Any housemate at any time could pop down to check on their Sims, some more than others. Me, though? Not at all.

  It took them months to talk me into it, and even then I gave in, exasperated. So, I decided to be the weird house. Started with a second floor on stilts/pillars and made the first floor a hedge garden & statuary promenade with a pool out back. At first, it was funny to see the random burglars have no idea what to do with a front door that opened directly to stairs —and that’s only if they found the front door before wandering into the hedge maze. IIRC, they despawn eventually (environmental effect, not actual Sims), but I didn’t expect the neighbors to wander over and into that maze…

  Quite a while went by before I logged in again to check on my crime family, and it was really only inspired by a few housemates complaining the game was losing their Sims or something. When I looked in on my house, I soon found their Sims… A couple of them had yet to succumb to their neglect, but most died of starvation and/or fire inside the unintentional maze under my house.

  Oops 😅🥹

  TBF, all “rainbows” are circles the planet bisects, and this seems like a section of a much larger ring. Super cool. 🥰

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Back in the day, when my school’s library switched from a physical card catalog to digital kiosks, a few of us geeks might’ve installed PoP1 & 2 on the server and obfuscated it so that we could, at any point in the schoolday, get a hall pass to the library and “research” whatever “homework” via hotkey at any terminal on the network. (originally intended to only work on said kiosks, but the “IT” dept was 100% abacus-trained, so why not?)

  We learned so much that year. ✊🏻

  The simple fact that quality mods abound for exactly this is why I can’t GAF about Bethesda finally getting around to maybe beginning to “fix” this glaring issue. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  Frankly, it’s always seemed to me like a polishing of the turd inherent to “Nothing matters before the ‘but’.” It’s exactly that old bullshit, plus another pandering half-thought at the end. The shit sandwich is the fastest way to lose my interest, much less respect. 🤌🏼

  You said “all of the live action shows” and then proceed to cite two that are a decade old, and one that’s complete shit anyhow. Followed by an admission that you “don’t follow live tv”.

  How high are you, exactly? 🤦🏼‍♂️
