I could never get through the 2nd ostrich riding sequence in the 2nd level as a kid. The rest of the game was fine, though, once I used the level select to skip ahead. Turns out, it was because my eyesight was shit and I couldn’t even see the correct obstacles on screen (I was trying to avoid the branches, but no it was pink hippos and bird nests the whole time, so my timing on the double jumps was always off). Replaying the game a couple years back when Disney re-released it alongside Aladdin, I found it still tricky, but doable.

Also everything was orchestrated by the Illuminati before they got hijacked by a splinter faction of even bigger dickbags than the normal Illuminati.

I have a MOLE?!!

Defendants also argue that Musk needed additional incentives to stay on at Tesla or he would spend more time at SpaceX, where he could fulfill his galactic ambitions to establish interplanetary travel, colonize Mars, and potentially earn more money in the meantime.

Not like he even actually does anything at Tesla anyway, between all the people they’ve got to babysit him and his spending all his time shit posting on Twitter.

It’s leave, you idiot! Make like a tree and leave! You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.

I mean, sure. That’s basically how always-online DRM for games works. But the fact is that you do still have the disc with data on it, so generally it’s just a matter of time before someone comes up with a way to bypass or spoof the DRM.

With the obvious caveat that IANAL, I think there’s a distinction to be made between the physical medium that an IP is distributed on, if any, and the IP itself. Like, when you buy a movie on DVD you obviously don’t own the IP. But strictly speaking, you don’t even own that particular copy of the movie as encoded on the disc you bought. But you do own the disc itself, which just happens to have a copy of the movie on it. So while a publisher can always pull their IPs, and make it illegal for people to distribute them, they can’t come and take the discs that you already legally own.

Gonna throw in a shout out to AC’s spritual precursor, Prince of Persia. Also can’t go wrong with Rayman or Rabbids.

I’ll believe it when Judgement Day happens and I die in nuclear fire when the wi-fi turns against me.

Don’t you still need to use the Steam client to install those games? I’ve never seen an option on the website to download the game files directly like GOG does.

I’m still wondering why he was even fired in the first place. I’d thought that perhaps I just hadn’t paid proper enough attention and missed the reason, but nope, no reason was ever given.

Considering that it is apparently possible to be in charge of like 6 different companies at once and still spend your entire day shitposting on Twitter, corporate fatcats obviously aren’t actually supposed to do anything productive as part of their day-to-day tasks.

Never got the appeal of paying to watch internet randos faff about to begin with, so screw streamers in general?

What a fuckwit.

Because of Metaverse? Wow, that’s just sad.

Of course, I’ve got an Epic account specifically for the weekly giveaways, and have spent no money of my own (because fuck paying for DRM if I don’t have to). So I guess I’m also part of their problem? Meh.

Didn’t Neuralink fail animal testing? Something about most of their monkeys dying from the trials? How did this get to human testing?

Honestly, not knowing anything about Indian politics but what the BBC puts out, I wouldn’t put it past the BJP.

Is this the new Chevy Chase?

My main controller is the 8bitdo sf30 pro, which as basically the Super Famicom controller but with sticks and extra buttons for modern functionality labels them Start and Select, as ordained by heaven.
