Can confirm 1, dad grew up on TV dinners and canned food; and somehow Grandma thought it was ok to add ketchup to make spaghetti sauce. That second one might be 2, too, actually.

I recently mastered Scooby Doo: Night of a 100 Frights for the Nintendo GameCube as part of a Collectathon event on RetroAchevements and... kinda liked it. Somehow a metroivania platformer with zany hijinx moves and dogshit physics.

But then again, it's intentionally bad sometimes to match the old cartoons Hanna Barbera style. It has a laugh track for crying out loud!

Actually most of these games in the event have some redeeming factors (I even liked Mort the Chicken)... except Mr. Beans Wacky World. That game is actually awful.

Oh no. That's on my playlist but the psx version. (It's for an RA event). I hope I enjoy it...

I wonder if you can get it to auto run if you stick it on a USB and let someone find it...

To this day I've still failed to talk my stepdad out of buying Madden games... even when they no longer work on Windows 10 (and of course Linux) so he's having to upgrade... Sigh.

I mean, until their internal ram failed and you needed to do a full RPG in one sitting, but I guess that's true of board games losing pieces or breaking.

Typically NPC dialogue also serves more than immersion, such as helping the player solve a quest or find a hidden thing. Some are for world building, too, but even that might be risky with AI since you may end up with inconsistencies that would actually be counter to immersion in the long run.

Like, you don't get actors to ad lib whole scripts in a movie no matter how versed there are in the story.

If you read, she was estranged from her family and faced housing instability. Her post-acting life was not good and she needed social help long before her illness.

Television... Radio... Newspapers... You can get disinformation and propaganda from wherever you want, really.

That's ... Literally called Nitro Circus?

We really are doing the whole Bread and Circuses thing now literally, huh?

I was thinking that too, like downloading random .exes and complaining your Windows got a virus. At least now a days, Windows .exes have a signing process that warn you, but that's just like using non-AUR sources; they're verified.

But we like Linux because it doesn't give you a big scary full screen warning every time you try to open something... so IDK. If that's what you need to keep you from installing malware, get off Arch.

Not jealous, but am curious if we were to shoot the guy, if all the money comes pouring out like rings out of Sonic.
