And thank you. I’d forgotten the source, only remembered it through Cards Against Humanity. hehe

“I know not which weapons will be used to fight WWIII, but it’ll be sticks and stones in WWIV” to misquote whoever that was. Maybe it’s still a little early. heh

uh, american here, I think we’re trying to return to 1942, and on the wrong side at that. lol
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
Reinstalled Tropico 6 after a while.
It took me so long to figure out how to not lose money (a few years ago). Now I play for a good while, but eventually get bored and give it a break. But it is fun.
I’m irritated at the DLC. They seem a little pricey for what you get, which is a couple of buildings and a couple of other things, introducing new systems which is fine but… like… it’s too much specific stuff and not enough general stuff.
So I ahve a couple of the DLC and that’s all, and that’s fine.

You know, I love Linux. But I’m fine with Windows as well.
How about all the Linux fanatics please fucking block this community so we don’t have to read your bitching EVERY single place you post, huh? I like going to the Linux communities and discussing the nice things happening.
And there are plenty of places for you people to go and bitch about everything.
It’s like a fucking religion with some of you. Or like how some of you characterize vegans. Nothing wrong with vegans, it’s the one who are constantly screeeeeching about it that are the problem. And you asshats are like that. Your opinion is fine, just leave me the hell alone to use Linux AND Windows.

- Comment on 56k.rip - The full 1996 dial-up experience 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s trying to be like an AOL/CompuServe type instead of a standard ISP, which back then would not have had nearly that much information.
I think it’s sort of like… a passing generalization, like how accurate a ren faire is or a theme park. heh
It wasn’t really quite like that, but this is close enough to give folks not around then a general taste of it. :)

The modem is simulating a relatively late protocol. I started at 1200 baud with BBSes in 1987. I have used 300 baud, which takes a while to give you a screen of text. I used to be able to give you the general actual connection speed - because it depended on the quality of the line as to what you actually got. heh.
A pretty nice site. Not 100% accurate, but not bad. Feels more like around 1994 than 1996 to me.
Also a bummer that they didn’t actually make the windows moveable, but that’s a quibble and a lot of work. I also tried to see if I could get commandline, but i"m very unsurprised they didn’t - that would hve been a lot more work :)
