Awesome! I just discovered retroachievements for my newly created counter top arcade machine!

As a former teacher, advisor to a state attorney general, and now an executive at Meta — I’ve dedicated my career to protecting children online.

That’s an awfully strange pathway to executive at Meta.

I love it.

No worries! I always thought of a “joke” as something that was intended to make me laugh. When I first saw this, I laughed as I didn’t expect a reference to her old show. So I personally consider it reasonable to call it a joke. Either way, this all has made me want to go back and watch an episode or two of Married with children. Cheers!

The voice actor for Leela (Katey Sagal) played Peggy Bundy in the tv show Married… with children, which was hugely popular in the 90s. The above picture was a very common scene from the tv show. Peggy with huge hair, sitting on the couch with her husband watching tv and eating junk food. So, it’s a fun reference to her previous work.

I always thought being able to recognize voices is a common skill? Is it not?

I agree! I’ve never been able to play the newer patch because I have the switch but I’ve spent many hours playing this game with the family!

I’ve definitely unplugged it in a moment of panic and that worked.

CounterStrike 2 came out last Wednesday. Basically the same game as CSGO but with some quality of life and graphical updates. Might be worth taking a shot at getting back into it.

There’s some platforming but Hollow Knight is an excellent game if you enjoy metroidvania types.

If you have someone to play with you may want to give local couch games a try. I’m ignoring a few of your thematic dislikes because they aren’t really a critical part of most of these games.

Games like:

Lovers in a dangerous space time

Boomerangfu

It takes two

Untitled goose game (single player is also fun if you enjoy harassing people as a goose)

Unravel

Duck game

Portal 2 (single player is great)

Cup head (single player is also great)

I felt the exact same way. Great style. The actors nailed it… the first act felt like it had a solid direction… and then they forgot where they were going for the rest of the movie.

Why was Barbie being in the real world an extreme crisis just for it to be no problem at the end of the movie?

The mother daughter relationship felt shallow and forced.

Why were the Barbies intelligent but also immediately brainwashed?

They could have cut Will Ferrell and the entire board by the end of the movie as they added virtually nothing to the plot except Will Ferrell jokes. Why did they even go to Barbieland? What did they accomplish? Why were they chasing them just to leave them alone? Did I miss major parts of this movie or something?

Who is staying with someone that doesn’t listen to them?

I don’t see a problem with it but there’s definitely a stigma associated with it. (At least in the US) I think folks who pay are seen as not being able to find it elsewhere which may make them appear as not desirable to other people which then may make your partner question if they’re making a bad choice. Unless you happen to be in an area that has well regulated sex workers, I imagine people might think that you’ve been exposed to STDs which may give you a perception of being “unclean”.

I don’t think you should have to lie when finding a partner… but I do think telling them this (at the beginning) may be problematic for you for a lot of people.

I’d love to see sex work well regulated, protected, and normalized in the US but I don’t think we’re there.

Haven’t played that particular Shantae game, but I found the series off putting to play in front of my kids due to the high amount of fan service. Seems like not what op might not be going for here.

I hate watching videos! So I asked some AI to provide a summary.

In this YouTube video titled "The Arcade Game that Crashes Itself for Anti-Piracy Reasons," the speaker discusses the anti-piracy measures implemented in the arcade game Tempest. These measures include checksums used to verify the integrity of the code and copyright strings, as well as checks for genuine hardware. The speaker explains the checksum calculation process, provides examples of the code used, and discusses how the game detects genuine hardware by auditing random number generation in the POKEY chips. The purpose of these measures is to deter piracy and make it more challenging for hackers to modify the game. However, it is now easier to disable or delete these anti-piracy measures, although finding unmodified versions of the Tempest arcade cabinet remains challenging.”

Pretty interesting that they leveraged how the random number generation happened to determine if the hardware was authentic or not.

If your addiction is libido based rather than boredom based, you might want to consider trying Ashwagandha. I’m not usually one to tout supplements, but this has helped me manage my overactive libido.

Sounds like your job was a complete disaster! Glad you managed to get out of there and good job getting the extra insurance!

Hope you’re doing alright and none of your bone marrow has turned into tumors.

What’s the story with the paid FMLA? I ended up taking FMLA for my sons birth, only for my employer to decide that I could only use 2 weeks of my 6 weeks PTO saved. Apparently, theres no guarantee of pay during FMLA or even that you should be allowed to use your accrued leave during that time… They sprung this on me the day my kid was born, after several months of planning and getting okays from HR.

There’s a happy ending though. I threatened to sue them (I’m not sure I would have had a case but I had documentation of them approving the PTO usage). So, they stopped responding to me and paid me for all of my PTO. I put in my notice the day I returned. My immediate manager even approved a week of PTO for my two week notice because of how much he hated the situation. The new job paid more with less stress… wins all around.

I had a lot of fun playing ZeeMud back in the day. Apparently it’s still running, but the last time I checked it was mostly a graveyard. I tried to get back on and play a bit… but it feels depressing… like going back to your old home that’s now abandoned…
