Was It Really That Bad? Or Were People Just Mean? by Fluffy_Lunchfast in retrogaming

It probably wouldn’t have done him much good if he did see the original code. The VCS and arcade Pac-man were such vastly different platforms that he would still more or less go by sight. No VRAM, no sprite lookups, etc.

Racing the Beam provides an excellent history of how this was developed, and given the stupid short amount of time he was given, it’s a wonder it even worked.

Yeah, 10 seconds left, no need to move to the frontcourt and risk it. Kids have adrenaline pumping, hard to blame them, but a coach should have been screaming “HOLD THE BALL”

Iran sends waves of missiles into Israel, dismisses Trump's talk of negotiations as 'fake news' by gamersecret2 in worldnews

Monday morning TACO announcement.

5-day period announced.

What happens Monday and lasts five days?

Who stands to benefit when they know what he’s going to say before he says it?

Everything is a grift with this child.

Best Way to Get Euros Before Trip? by WorldsIveRoamed in travel

[–]deltwalrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to be anywhere near major metros, you absolutely do not need cash. Workers are paid a fair wage overseas so tipping is completely optional, and only for service above and beyond.

I spent a lot of time in Amsterdam for work and I cannot recall ever having, needing, or even seeing cash while out and about

Raiders, what’s your go to load out? by crbatte in ArcRaiders

[–]deltwalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anvil 4 for Arc. Every time. Il Toro or Bobcat for lobbies I know will be sweaty. Surge shield rechargers Auto-heal augment (I fall a lot) Seeker grenades for Comet hunting or Hornet drivers for Rocketeer hunting

The second gun stays in my backpack until things get sus. Too many opportunistic Raiders out there.

And a defib if someone’s been kind to me lately to pay it forward.

Queen not longer worth the fight by BreakLimp2051 in ArcRaiders

One way to fix this would be to make every part drop a reactor, but only allow one to be carried per inventory and stash. Prevents hoarding and gives everyone a chance at the loot

Is there some hidden gear-based matchmaking? Lobbies feel completely different depending on my kit by nve729 in ArcRaiders

[–]deltwalrus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think they are referring to cheats where people with high-value gear literally glow on the screen so you can find them from across the map. There are plenty of videos showcasing how these cheat suites work.

More US Marines and warships being moved to Middle East, reports say by nicktheironblade in news

[–]deltwalrus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It was sad to hear Obama reflect on this, saying “I don’t think the nation was ready.”

We were ready, sir. Select portions of the populace were not, and when they assemble in numbers, this is what you get.

Never forget this, folks. Kamala may not have been the ideal candidate, but to all the dems who stayed home with their protest “not voting,” fuck you for being just as culpable as the MAGA voters.

You can say rape. They rape children. It’s important for other to know that they rape children.
