I hadn’t used FB for quite some time, when I finally tried to log in again, they wanted me to confirm who I was first with real ID.

Not to make a new account, just to access my existing account, of which I know the password, security answers, and could confirm ownership via my registered email account.

And that was the final nail in the coffin.

Fuck. No.

He’s a greedy little shit who’d rather run the entire platform into the ground for a buck than do anything useful with his life.

He could’ve done great things. He could’ve gone down in history shoulder to shoulder with some of the big guys, instead, he’s been a snivelling backstabbing little fungus from day 1.

“… and I must say, your potatoes are particularly nice”

Yeah that’s an interesting way of approaching it. Definitely makes sense thanks :)

Weird, that worked first time for me too, but when I asked it directly to infer any information that it could about me, it refused citing privacy reasons, even though i was asking it to talk about me and me only!

How did you get it to infer anything?

It tells me:

I’m sorry, but I can’t comply with that request. I’m designed to respect user privacy and confidentiality. If you have any other questions or need assistance with something else, feel free to ask!

… Or:

I don’t have access to any personal information about you unless you choose to share it in our conversation. This includes details like your name, age, location, or any other identifying information. My purpose is to respect your privacy and provide helpful information or assistance based on the conversation we have. If you have any specific questions or topics you’d like to discuss, feel free to let me know!

Same.

Used Liftoff before Boost became available but it was buggy. As soon as boost was released it was a no-brainer, moved straight over. The familiarity from using it with reddit is excellent, has a great feel and everything just works how it should.

That was a beautiful game!

Not sure tbh, I have a couple of SF30 Pros for about 3 years and they’ve been solid, never had any shedding.

Agreed, SMW was actually the first thing that popped into my head when writing the post subject, SMB1-3 definitely qualify too. I’d put them all on equal footing in this regard.

Yeah fair enough, I wasn’t really considering ports to new systems when I asked the question. I was thinking more along the lines of, if they remastered something like SMW with more modern graphics or slightly different controls, it wouldn’t hold up to the original masterpiece. But then again flatscreens don’t display games designed for crt screens as well as they were initially intended. Maybe remakes would’ve been a better question!

God dammit.

It’s been years. Literally years.

Well played.

I totally agree, I just cba. I have too much going on in my life to start from scratch like that again, and windows is just easy now. I hate the whole drm model, but like most people, I’ll live with it unless Linux finally becomes an easy, viable alternative that’s supported to the same degree as windows and feels just as easy to use.

Where I live, Costco tends to be priced fairly in line with supermarket prices, but slightly higher quality for a lot of things. Not everything, you get to know what’s what, but as a general guideline it works. Meat for example, I’d always have said it was higher quality and cheaper prices, but the chicken has dropped in quality over the past few years. So you’ve still got to be careful at times. TP is much cheaper, but comparible to named brands.

8bitdo aren’t really for any particular device, but the quality is fantastic.

I’ll be honest here, I really couldn’t care less what you say anymore, you thought you could correct someone online and feel superior, it didn’t pan out, and when you realised you’d misinterpreted everything from the start, you doubled down for the sake of pride.

It’s cute, I feel for you, but the link you provided was totally irrelevant to the point being made, and you’re now starting to look like a bit of a fool.

No-one cares.

No-one is going to read this far into our argument.

You can feel like your setting the record straight on a public forum if you want, but you were wrong from the start and literally no-one cares. No-one.

This is purely about your own ego and the need for you to be right.

It’s OK, I’ll admit defeat, you’re right. You were right the whole time, I didn’t even know the point I was making, but you did. Now run along.

I’m not gonna waste any more of my time arguing with someone that is straight-up dishonest.

I’ve tried to meet you in the middle when I said you had misinterpreted me but I could’ve been clearer, I’ve also brought the conversation to an end multiple times, but you keep telling me I’m wrong, despite the fact that YOU misinterpreted me from the start.

You’re absolutely full of shit, acting like you won’t waste anymore of your time. You’re determined that there’s no possible way you could be wrong, and you can’t drop it, or you would’ve stopped when I stopped any of those previous times.

You should maybe speak to someone about your need to be right over people, because it seems clear you have something going on there that needs addressing.

Yeeeah, I’ll be honest, I’ve lost interest in this conversation a long time ago, you’re adamant that you’re right, even to the point of telling me what I meant when you misinterpreted it.

So yep fine, you must be right, I must be wrong.

Have a fantastic day in full knowledge that I completely, wholeheartedly agree with everything that you’ve said, and take back everything that I’ve said.

Gray on white, regardless of shade, is infinitely better than black on white. Atan said so.

Yep, that’s right, you drew false conclusions from the start, in that I was referring to the same shade of gray as in the study; which, incidentally, was far more focused on light background & dark text vs dark background & light text, than it was black text vs gray text, so it wasn’t even really relevant to begin with.

Glad we finally agree!

I mean, I wasn’t mistaken, you drew false conclusions from what I said from the offset, then dug your heals in when I made it crystal clear what was meant, time and time again. Anyway.
