AlexWIWA,

Self hosted Minecraft server for socializing. Mod the shit out of it

Factorio if you want your kid to have a severe addiction.

Red Alert 2 because I want the world to play it.

Ace Combat because it’s hype and plays well with a controller.

Bloons tower defense

AlexWIWA, (edited )

Mod as in install mods that modify the game. My favorite is the map and waypoint mod that adds basically Google maps to Minecraft.

Or the Create mod.

I’d also install the automatic world backup mod so if someone ever griefs the server you can just roll it back

AlexWIWA,

Not really. It will feel like programming if you already know how to program, but I don’t think it will teach you programming anymore than any other problem solving activity.

AlexWIWA,

Banning would piss off a lot of people. It’d be better to just place more restrictions on semi autos. Outright bans are very politically expensive.

AlexWIWA,

Robbaz on the rare yearly upload

AlexWIWA,

Her videos are great

AlexWIWA,

I want them to get fined over how hard it is to keep creative cloud from running when I just want to look at a locally stored targa image.

AlexWIWA,

As it should be. We no longer use floppies so it can exist purely as its own icon and not be confused

AlexWIWA,

It’s a reference to “Press ‘F’ to pay respects” from call of duty. Basically think of it like RIP

AlexWIWA,

Indeed

AlexWIWA,

YouTube is where I get my movie recommendations. I follow a lot of film channels

AlexWIWA,

This is basically my overall opinion of Rick and Morty at this point.

AlexWIWA,

I only watched the first episode and really didn’t like it. I strongly hate celebrity cameos. It felt like a Family Guy “holy crap, you’re Hugh Jackman!”

AlexWIWA,

Good to know. I’ll give the others a watch. Thanks for the info :)

AlexWIWA,

Only someone who has never worked for a large corporation could hold the belief that corporations are efficient at making their product.

They’re very efficient at funneling money to their executives and owners though.

AlexWIWA,

I’ve worked for the government both as an employee and a contractor. I’ve also worked for small and large companies. The government was by far better at accomplishing the actual objective / product. The worst government entity I worked for though was a city government. Those are terrible.

AlexWIWA,

Are you on apartment internet by chance? You’ve probably got a double NAT. In which case you’ll need a server, outside the network, that can make a tunnel to your server.

AlexWIWA,

Especially given the demographic of Plex users. The likelihood of them jumping ship is much higher than regular streaming services.

Ultimately, VLC stream still exists for people to go back to

AlexWIWA,

Warning. Purchasing a bidet will ruin travel because you don’t feel clean the entire trip

AlexWIWA,

Massage gun. I thought they were an over hyped trinket until I tried one. Relaxed a muscle that hadn’t relaxed in years.

If you’re using it purely to relax muscles, then it is amazing. All the other claims about them seem to be BS though.

AlexWIWA,

My issue was also knee pain. I could never get my lower quads to relax. Massage gun got them on the first use. They’re also great for trips where you’ll be walking a lot.

Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

AlexWIWA,

Also everything breaks in five years at best. Doesn’t matter how much you spend, basically everything is shit quality minimum viable products.

AlexWIWA,

Same. I won’t buy anything that isn’t repairable unless it’s like a one time need

AlexWIWA,

I also think there’s a general lack of QA. Whether it’s a bug or a feature, they’re trying to push things out so fast now that shit breaks even if they don’t intentionally plan obsolescence.

Planned obsolescence is definitely a modern travesty though. It really ought to be illegal

AlexWIWA,

Reader view is also a god send if you have ADHD or just struggle with attention span around electronics.

AlexWIWA,

$100m is a lot lower than I’d have guessed. Still a lot of money, Minecraft just seems way bigger than that to me

AlexWIWA,

That’s a good point.

I haven’t paid a dime for it since I bought the game in beta.

I do feel blessed that Minecraft is still around. It truly is a magical game

AlexWIWA,

I’d bet the Lego deal brings in a massive chunk of change on its own

AlexWIWA,

Everything I’ve read about the author does not paint him in a positive light. He seems crochety

AlexWIWA,

Yeah he made money off the game when I bought every single Witcher book

AlexWIWA,

Him being crochety about video games is why he didn’t negotiate for royalties. And after realizing his mistake… He’s still crochety about video games :/

AlexWIWA,

Yes but I’ll still take a Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 remake.

I hope remasters continue for games that are from the era where they relied on specific OS library hacks to get the game running. Those games are hard to run on modern OSs.

AlexWIWA,

And fix annoying game behaviors like game logic being tied to FPS and zoom being tied to resolution.

AlexWIWA,

Same. I will be depressed until I get the Tiberian Sun announcement.

AlexWIWA,

Because I need Windows to run old C&C games. Get Generals world builder working on Linux and I’ll delete my dual boot

AlexWIWA,

I don’t think you understand how zealous C&C fans are. Some of us have entire XP machines with CRT monitors just to play the game in its purest form. We’re about as culty as Linux.

But it’s also not just one program, it’s all the c&c games, their map editors, mod loaders, and any modding tools. World builder is just an example.

AlexWIWA,

The simple solution here is to just move on and play a game that isn’t old enough to drink, lol.

AlexWIWA,

It can but it’s already a headache to get the tools running, and adding in the VM layer can add more headaches.

Usually the compatibility patches make the games work in the VM, but the map editors and modding tools had a lot of issues last time I tried.

The tooling around those games was incredibly barbones so there are probably a lot of hacks going on that the VM wasn’t properly stimulating.

AlexWIWA,

Yeah the issue is the tools. They’re what I have a hard time with in the VMs. I have no idea why

AlexWIWA,

I really need to get a Windows 98 PC for the same reason

AlexWIWA,

Gotta appeal to advertisers that want the normie eye balls.

I hate using the word normie, because these people truthfully haven’t done anything wrong. It’s the advertisers that follow them around like vampires that are the issue.

AlexWIWA,

Typical down vote and smarmy useless comments. Feels like you want to go back home.

AlexWIWA,

Your grandstanding is cringe. This is a forum, not a political movement. If you want normie content then go back to Reddit. When I want normie content I’ll use TikTok.

AlexWIWA,

Nope, I just don’t want the place overrun by people who are mostly just around to flame and insult.

Pick up moderating a few large subreddits and you’ll see what I mean. Even on a small sub like /r/Infiniti, I’ve seen a massive increase in people just being pricks, especially after a cross post. Smaller user base makes it less likely.

Like I said in another post, I don’t like using the word normie because it’s not actually descriptive of the behavior I’m talking about, but it’s the word the thread is using.

AlexWIWA,

My biggest issue is I always forget my good shit posts by the time I have time to post. Getting old sucks

AlexWIWA,

Blinded?

But yes absolutely. I vividly remember the first time I saw that menu at a friend’s house. Actual core memory for me

AlexWIWA,

That’s fair. Hadn’t considered that

AlexWIWA,

For sure no disrespect to star trek fans. I’ve just never watched it. I don’t want to block the people I just want to filter out the memes I don’t understand.
