It's probably there just because it was one of the many files preinstalled on one of Epstein's computers that the FBI nabbed. Still funny.

It would also seem that the article's existence violates Wikipedia's "no conflicts of interest" policy and the entire list of sources violates the "no self-published sources" rule. I propose the article be deleted. Thoughts?

I believe this one has the audio and video desync in the middle. Use the one in @slothrop@lemmy.ca's comment.

It really raises eyebrows when you come across users who have posted nothing but aggressively anti-US anti-NATO anti-EU stuff for several years straight. No other interests. Nobody talks about politics nonstop. Nobody. It's straight up bizarre.

I remember the silence. Noise pollution is a big deal. All the creatures in any urban environment basically live their entire lives underneath a highway overpass.

1980s: You have to walk to the arcade, you have to stand to play, and you are charged for every minute of play time.

1990s: Computer technology has improved to the point that anyone can have the arcade in their home, you sit to play, and you are charged once for the game and can play for as long as you want.

2010s and onward: Home internet connections are now ubiquitous, enabling instant digital money transactions from anywhere, so the games industry can now nickel and dime you for everything. Video games are casinos. The coin machines are back.

There's a golden age of gaming starting with the introduction of home consoles and ending when they started needing an internet connection.

It's such a well-done implementation of the game. Beautiful website.

Firewalls and NAT suck. Users have to go through strange procedures in their router's unpolished, bespoke interface just to be able to run a server. Imagine having a phone that can make calls but not receive them. The internet is broken.
