  • I was first introduced to the original Worms through a demo that came with a PC magazine. I spent way too many hours playing that simple demo, but it really sold me on the concept of worms.

    When Worms 2 came out, I bought it and I was blown away at it being such a massive improvement over the original. I think it was probably the first game that I spent a significant amount of time playing online. I even made custom sound packs based around some of my favorite shows, and I would customize my team names around them.

    Then Worms Armageddon came out. I was so hyped for the next generation of Worms, so I bought it immediately. And then... Well I have to say I felt disappointed. While it was certainly an improvement over Worms 2, with a few new weapons and some single player content, it really felt like more of an expansion than a whole new game. But alright, it is what it is, and I continued playing because it was still a fun game.

    And then Worms World Party came out. I thought that surely this must be the next big evolution in the Worms franchise. So once again I bought it. And god damnit, it felt like they had once again sold me the same damn game with a fresh coat of paint. And that's how I came to stop loving the Worms franchise.

  • Hobbies are generally things that you enjoy and have a desire to do. Generally, if you are getting pleasure from the activity, then you would naturally want to continue doing it. If you aren't enjoying new things that you try, maybe they just aren't for you.

  • Chrome decided not to support it because they want to push AVIF instead. Firefox followed suit. Then Apple actually decided to support JXL. It has a decent amount of support in desktop software. So it's basically fine for personal use, but don't expect to use it on the web unless Google changes their tune.

  • I am not depressed, and I don't think I have ever been (outside of maybe a few days or weeks of sadness when tragic things occurred, but I don't think that would be classified as depression).

    Am I happy? I think so. Maybe it's more of a contentedness?

    I don't really think of most of the people around me as depressed either. But maybe it's just that they hide it, or maybe it's just that I don't see it due to my own outlook.

  • As long as they aren't utilizing Nintendo's IP, then there wouldn't be any grounds to shut it down. I have not looked at this project, but I assume it's just some homebrew tools with a nice interface. Homebrew tools have existed forever.

  • Advertisers are already tracking everyone. Firefox is providing another option to help preserve privacy. You still have the option to disable or block anything you want, Firefox hasn't taken that away. This doesn't effect you, it effects the average user who doesn't already block everything. I don't see how having a new option that helps preserve your privacy is a bad thing. The goal would be for this to catch on, and then eventually be able to prevent more personal tracking that occurs through cookies today. It would be a net benefit.
