Pong is still arguably a balanced, and therefore good game. Especially if you were playing the Atari or Texas Instruments versions, since those may have been some of the last mainstream video games that didn't cheat in favor of anyone. Neither the player or the computer was favored, which became the norm for most video games rather quickly thereafter.

I have certain programs that were ripped from my father's 7.5" floppies. They have gone through 3.5" floppies, to CDs, to thumb drives.

The Data shall Remain.

OS/2 enters the chat.

Eldritch demonic screams in the background

Pay no attention to the daemons I've had to restrain, please.

Trust me when I say that Windows 98, and even Windows 95 got burned to a ton of CDs.

I actually had a Windows 98 CD at one point. Copied/ pitated, of course. The keys that I had were kinda stolen from the IT department that I was working for, at the time.

Only kinda stolen. The company was required to have a ridiculous amount of OEM keys. There were only 200 people working at CR back then, that needed Windows 98 rather than Windows NT, and of course there were the 8 Linux/Unix guys that IT mostly ignored, except for their connection to the intranet.

IT could buy 100 keys, or 250 keys. There was no option to buy two groups of 100 keys back in 1998. So we had about 56 keys just laying around that a few of us in IT just kinda took. We also took a total of 300 Windows NT licences, but I kinda doubt that any of managed to even give away a license of WNT.

Since I saw the original article somewhere around 2010-2016, and am unable to find the original article, here are a few articles that seem to indicate that he might not have been as "mad" as I first indicated.

That last article is certainly promising, since if it is possible to print stem cells, then it follows that organ replication, with the right environment providing the correct hormones, should make this technology a viable replacement option for the rich, or the masses once the old prophecies about humanity surviving its stupidity have come to pass in the next couple decades.

Cleopatra ate curry. A Scottish chef, of Indian descent, just happened to invent Chicken Tikka Masala in Scotland.

REform LINE! Quick MARCH!

I know what it means. I was pointing out that was an ability that entails working

Some mad scientist in Scotland claims to have gotten his printing stem cells. He's trying to figure out how to print replacement organs that have no chance of rejection

Work to Rule?

Oooh, a Parasite Eve remaster would be nice.....

Yarrrrrrr

You were going to stream it anyway. No VPN or torrent client needed.

Correct. In theory, we could make more oil in the lab. We cannot make more coal, because the wood will get broken down by bacteria far before it turns to peat, lignite, sub-bituminous, or bituminous coal, and much less anthracite.

Vintage Story has the graphics of that other voxel graphics based block game. The gameplay is so good that I bought and play VS, and Terraria, but I haven't ever played more than 30 minutes of the other block game.

Graphics barely matter. Gameplay is king.

I know how to do this, Astrid. The sell sword lives, and joins the brotherhood.

About Step 10.....

Not previous commenter, but the only way you could get me onto an airplane at this point is to pay me $10 million far enough in advance that my fiduciary can have every penny accounted for before I board the plane.

IIRC during his first presidency our credit rating was downgraded from AAA to AA. This mentally impaired baboon is going to bankrupt us, just like he did to all his companies.
