The whole game was intended from the very beginning to thumb their nose at Nintendo, just so happens that it got really popular and sold a ton of copies because it isn’t difficult to make a better Pokémon game than The Pokémon Company does, even when the entire game in question is a shitpost.

Interesting… The Wikipedia page for Crazy Taxi talks about their lawsuit with Simpsons Road Rage in 2001, for using the overhead arrow among other complaints. But makes no mention at all of Midnight Club, who by 2005 when I got Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition was using that same overhead arrow for in-race directions. I don’t see screenshots of Midnight Club 1 or 2 having the arrow but I can guarantee from personal experience that MC3:DUB did have them. I wonder what happened in those four years that made Rockstar not afraid to use that mechanic, especially as this section on the Crazy Taxi page states

The case, Sega of America, Inc. v. Fox Interactive, et al., was settled in private for an unknown amount. The 138 patent is considered to be one of the most important patents in video game development.

Screensaver? I rigged up Wallpaper Engine just to make that my actual desktop background.

Come have a seat at my D&D table…

I’m a technically savvy but new to Linux user who installed Mint as my primary OS about a month ago. So far I’ve used Flatpaks and AppImages without any issue and haven’t come across snaps. Would you explain the differences and why I would care about one over another?

To be fair, most of the CIA was on an awful lot of LSD around that time.

Well said, I like that.

Thing is, you never have any clue whether the AI is telling you something even remotely true unless you go behind it and trawl through six pages of shitty SEO-optimized bullshit anyway. So you can either take its word at face value and potentially be completely wrong, or else just do the research yourself anyway and ignore the AI answer.

Personally, I choose the second. I find it to be less frustrating if I just assume the AI is wrong.

AGMs are actually worth the squeeze even on a car that doesn’t necessarily require one, they’re genuinely good-ass batteries. Expensive, though. But they’ll blow the pants off a lead acid in a stress test.

Also lots of cars have an option to toggle the auto-off. Not all of them though. And some will reset it every time you turn the car on and off.

I’d be surprised if that’s still what it says. They have the edit history, they could roll it back whenever.

I guarantee with 100% certainty that that isn’t what they’re feeding into their AI, as well. You just planted a great big flagpole on all your old content that states “this account was previously run by a real live human” and probably doubled the value of the edited comments for AI training. Bots don’t have a reason to protest-edit their content.

I approve of the attitude, but spez has got us in a vice here where any attempt to damage reddit’s data store is actually just helping them. Best thing to do at this point is to scrub them from memory and just ignore them forever. Unless you’re up for some seriously large-scale corporate sabotage, that’s the best we’ve got.

Yeah I’ve never had this issue with Android, not least of which is because you’re able to just root it and install whatever ROM/OS you want. If Google pushes an unstable update just wipe that shit and put Lineage on it.

Apple only gets away with it because they put their users in a walled garden where you have no choice but to receive Apple’s updates on their timeframe. I quit that life in 2006 when they updated my iPod Touch into uselessness and haven’t come across the problem again since switching to Android.

No plan or ethical framework survives contact with the shareholders.

If other people buy these, you won’t have much of a choice for much longer. I predict every auto manufacturer jumping directly onto this bandwagon if it doesn’t sink Ford’s sales (it won’t).

People like you and I are going to end up driving 2005 Honda “classic cars” 30 years past their lifespan.

The peak of their problems is the impending fall of international society into fascism and ecological collapse

But they’re not old enough to be expected to worry about that yet.

Because UBI doesn’t exist in this area and the robots are already there.

Dropping the demand for rentals is supposed to address this. But there is going to be a great big gap between “no one is renting” and “we can’t afford to keep this house that no one is renting” where the prices will skyrocket to try and make up costs, which kind of shoots this plan in the foot unless all the newly emancipated renters plan to pitch a tent for a couple years while the market settles.

That’s the fucking Feywild, bro. Those borders aren’t going to stay where they’re at. France needs to look out.
