Got to like third level once

I’ve no idea how I had so much tolerance back then for difficult games; I recall when I got a megadrive and only ever completed like 2-3 games because everything else was so monstrously difficult. I enjoyed a lot of the games I played back then but I’m much happier today for being able to have easy mode so I can actually the enjoy the game just like no-lifers.

Some kind of (Atari?) console that I think only had pong, or if it had other games I can’t remember them.

The first good games I played? Prince of Persia and Karateka on DOS, also mines of Titan but I had zero idea how to play that. Also word muncher; loved that game but I was a dumb kid and didn’t know the solutions many times. I also got an MSX keyboard and the little tape machine addon that somehow played video games off audio cassettes. I still have zero idea how you put video games on audio cassettes.

Plastic babies with poseable figures; you’ll be able to get them into any cool action pose for selfies!

I guess your…Luks not running out.

…you’re using Vista? Even when Vista was new it was terrible. Just get Windows 10. Also if you use old peripherals then yeah, you’re probably gonna have problems. No idea what all these issues with installing drivers is about; it stopped being a problem with newer Windows. It’s like this post was made over a decade ago, lol.

It’s like the difference between learning how to read a book and learning how to assemble it in a foreign language and then read it, with many of the pages mangled and eaten away.

grumble grumble Damn America always making this view applicable

Um…I just stay away from people to avoid the unexpected and I always stay home. I’m extremely predictable myself (you could set your watch to me) so I’m never concerned about my end, but other people can be unpredictable so I tend to avoid. I’m also not a pet person, so that’s not an issue either. Driving to and from work is my greatest unpredictability factor.

In actuality though I’d probably kick up a reincarnation loop by asking for the full experience of every living and inanimate thing the universe has to hold, starting with everyone/everything I ever interacted with and branching exponentially from there.

Congratulations, every worst experience and death you ever read about? Now you’re getting hands on experience of it!

Stellaris but with first person aspects.

Dungeon keeper but with immortal redneck play as a complementary aspect; there are DK clones where you can possess monsters, but they lack what immortal redneck has to offer gameplay-wise.

Also a game similar to void bastards but with multiplayer, more monsters, less crafting and more guns, and better/more varied environments, and no time limits. Also immortal redneck with multiplayer. Also ziggurat with multiplayer. Also hands of fate with multiplayer.

Actually forget game, I wish there was a program that could force any game to be multiplayer; or a dev team you could hire that would do that.

A patty from McDonald’s; I’d rather not do that again.

Jokes aside, I’ve had abalone and it was absolutely fantastic. A Singaporean colleague of mine got it for me from Singapore and I still remember how awesome it was.

You joke but I read the dictionary as a kid (and not for the naughty words); helped me expand my vocabulary and gave me knowledge of stuff I wouldn’t have known about at that age.

there’s entire chapters that just go “x is the son of y is the son of z is the son of a who’s the son of b and the son of c”.

I can’t speak to how relevant this is to history in most parts of the world, but interestingly in places like ancient Ireland, genealogy was an important part of identity. Among the questions a stranger would be asked would be who his father is, what his clan is and what his profession is. Obviously today we value different aspects of identity, but historically at least in some places (and at the point I’m mentioning in history, Ireland was Christian) bloodline was part of how people knew you; it’s a fascinating look into historical mindsets.

Harry Potter; you’ll understand every conflict on earth.

Yeah plus after two hours googling how to make something work, and then another two hours googling why the solution failed they can get used to getting off the PC and internalizing the concept of ‘life’s too short’.
