@gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world doing the hard work (he posted this amount a minute before posting this one).

Do you work for Amazon, by chance?

Man, I loved that game (the DOS original)! I don't remember the baddies being Nazis, but it would fit what I do remember from the rest of the game.

Just looked it up (it was originally called "Wolfenstein 3D II: the Rise of the Triad"):

In order to keep as many of the numerous game assets the team had already created from going to waste, Tom Hall came up with a new storyline which still incorporated the Nazi themes seen in the Wolfenstein series, however they would ultimately depart from plotlines involving Nazis, with the final narrative concerning a cult apparently inspired by the Californian folk legend of the Dark Watchers or 'los vigilantes oscuros'.

Neat!

Edit: aw, man, quote your sources, ffs!

+1 for adding the option for preview instead of post. I don't trust me (and I wouldn't trust me, either).

E: (Sorry)

The Peripheral, William Gibson

Seconded.

Very well put!

You really nailed it mentioning the scale of the world. In retrospect, everything did feel "right sized". And, yes, the freedom you're allowed for such a linear game was amazing, to say the least.

Man, I wish I had the patience to articulate as well as you did 😅

Half-Life: Alyx, hands down.

I may have cried a little bit after my first round at it.

I'm guessing this is what they're referring to:

Real-Debrid Implements Extreme Anti-Piracy Filters to Appease Film Companies

It's also quite old.

I prefer the original, but to each their own.

Yeah, that art style looks very familiar. I'll have to look into it more, since I'm starting to doubt some of the other details I provided. Oh, and the wiki says the animated series started airing on Canal+ in 1996. Maybe it aired elsewhere before?

But yeah, I think this is it 👍.

P.S. Iznogoud, like "is no good". I must have misremembered his name, cuz that makes sense!

When does it started ? Do you have law prohibiting smoking in public place like restaurant, transports, nigth club, office, etc ?

Pretty much this. From the late 80's more and more smoking bans were put into place. Public buildings, any private business, public transport, etc.

It's at the point now that the only places you can smoke are your own house (even the apartment buildings I've been to have no smoking rules. Like, even in your own apartment) or outside (as long as it's x feet/meters away from a building's entrance).

Oh, man, when I was a kid around 1990 I was in France (maybe? Pretty sure it was somewhere in Europe), and they had this subtitled cartoon (I didn't know either language) that "starred" a villain named something like Amin Tumani ("I'm in to money", but made into a name) that was a stereotypical middle easterner. And to add to the crazy I'm 99.9% sure he died at the end of every episode.

If anyone knows anything about this cartoon, LMK.

Dude, same

Only, like, 8 D cells, which only cost 1 paycheck or so 😅

Man, I miss boom boxes...

Might want to remind them they do expire (and won't test positive even when the virus is present)...

I had to get rid of my US Robotics (freshly rebranded from... I can't remember?) 56k when I moved last time. Part of my soul was left with that modem.

This modem:

Fourteen forty? You ballin! My 4800 baud ain't got shit on you!

(I can still hear the different connection handshakes)
