What are your favorite pre-2000 computer games?

Jump

  • Yeah, it's one of the games I consistently return to regularly. Was very disappointed in the sequel.

  • Not as far as I'm aware. The Linux community is largely cooperative, the idea is that everyone can choose the DE they like best. I don't remember seeing anything about Cinnamon trying to bring back an older GNOME version - you might be thinking of MATE (though I'm not aware of ANY friction there either) considering MATE is a fork of GNOME 2.

    Descent (1, 2, and 3)
    Sim City 2000

    • Has anyone successfully used a prepaid phone and number for app registration?

    Jump

  • Ah, gotcha. I kinda figured that was out there, but didn't have names to associate with them.

    I guess I'm wondering how a VoIP number would differ significantly from a burner phone. Obviously the burner is more private (assuming you pay cash, there'd be zero way to trace it anywhere). Signing up for a VoIP number with an alias seems almost as untraceable, assuming the VoIP company isn't selling your data?

  • Ah, the giant house hippo. Haven't heard anything about those in years.

  • I've worked in corporate America for a while now, and if there's one lesson I've learned...

    When the decisions from execs don't make any sense to you, it probably means they're trying to increase short-term shareholder value. Those decisions start making sense when you look through the lens of an MBA, but no sense to anyone who thinks beyond next quarter's numbers.

  • Through data profiling? Not sure what you mean.

    • Lists like "Year in review", "Best of the year", etc. should be compiled AFTER the new year has started

  • ##Year in Review: the Best New Year's Eve Parties

    December 26, 2024

    As with every year-in-review we've done, there were once again no New Year's Eve parties this year.

  • Honestly, if you don't want a separate device, I'd sign up for a VoIP number. I use voip.ms, it's a dollar or two a month for the number, and you pay per minute and per text (about a penny each, IIRC). You can forward calls to your primary number, or set up a SIP app (I'm using one called ZoiPer). I usually load it up with $20 per year or so.

    • What stories or other classic movies would you like to see done by the Muppets. Who would be cast in each part?

    Jump

  • Tough call. On one hand, having Pepe creating "flying chickens" would be a great gag. On the other hand, having a chorus of chickens bawking out the lollipop guild song... tough call.

  • The Wizard of Oz would be a great one. How's this for a cast?

    Miss Piggy - Dorothy
    Rizzo - Toto
    Scooter - Scarecrow
    Gonzo - Tin Man
    Fozzie - Cowardly Lion
    Janice - Glinda
    Pepe - Wicked Witch of the West
    Kermit - the Wizard

    Kermit - Westley
    Miss Piggy - Buttercup
    Gonzo - Inigo
    Fozzie - Fezzik
    Rizzo - Vizzini
    Uncle Deadly - Count Rugen
    Dr Bunsen - Miracle Max
    Beaker - Valerie
    Sam - the Impressive Clergyman
    Swedish Chef - the Albino
    Rowlf - Grandpa/Narrator

    Fred Savage would reprise his original role. Humperdinck would be played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
