They know what we want. A game where any dlc is cosmetic only. A game where there are no micro transactions at all. Something that will run on a older PC without any performance problems. Something without an online requirement.
They know what we want but that is something they are unwilling to build.
Its associated with karens. To me personally its a 100 percent truth. My sisters name is karen and she had this on her wall when I broke contact. To give this a little more perspective the last time my kids and I ate at a restaurant with her. My parents and her did what they always did. Complained so loudly they got a discount. They made the server cry. This incident occurred pre karen meme. My only regret of going no contact is I wasn't there when she pulled that shit and someone called her a karen and she couldn't figure out how they knew her name.
Its all mostly moot to me. I have a windows 10 drive in my computer. Its full of old games I might move back over and play again. I haven't booted it at all this year. I work on winblows at work and come home to Linux. Its been that way since for twenty years.
At work I block a lot of 'telemetry' including microsoft. I've considered a full asn block of microsoft for user machines since I use WSUS. Microsoft has decided to depreciate it. Probably due to me stopping them from installing office 365 trials and copilot garbage. I'm sure I'm not the only one doing that. Far too much garbage for me to trust them at home.
For a period of time in the 90's you could get access to phone systems remotely. Kids and some adults were using them as hangouts of a sort and there was a lot of them that were used to jump into the net for free. I read about it more than experiencing it. Like I said I had grown up and it was no longer the draw it once was.
I was kinda sad I was an adult when the hacking PBX's were a thing in the 90's. I kept up with that culture and those kids were having a great time taking over corporate phone systems and night and socializing. I still have a habit every now and then of picking up a random courtesy phone and finding the paging extension. I know it marks me as a huge nerd but I had a small handheld dtmf tone generator in my pocket everywhere I went up until I got married. I know a lot of default passwords used by systems. Most library PC's and hotel business centers are depressingly easy to get into to. All due to a fear many tiny techs have of changing a default password.
Its amazing I didn't end up in jail. I built a few of the descramblers and worst of all ended up with a 300 baud modem when the local chevrolet place Threw out a bunch of 'junk'. It was a non hayes bell modem and a pain in the ass to use but I would have taken a bullet for it. I built a blue box and later a black box. Then I got busy with free phone calls. Phreaking BBS's all over with great plans on taking control of the world around you. I still remember the date that they replaced the old analog switch in my town.
Bless your heart.
Now we see if you know southern passive aggressive.
