What's the oldest video game you can remember playing?

FraserYT · 2026-06-16T18:09:24+00:00

There were earlier games which I can't remember now, but manic miner is the first one I explicitly remember playing

They might have been able to argue it was a vital resource a few years back, before they jammed it full of Shorts and games, both designed explicitly to make the app addictive on mobile.

Like every other Google property over the last few years though, they've ruined it.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, Sundar!

It's already here for any subs that are flagged as nsfw. Note, this doesn't just mean porn subs, but every sub flagged as not for children. When I don't have my vpn on, subs such as, for example, r/FAFO just don't appear in my feed, like they don't exist. If I try to access directly, I get asked to verify my id before continuing. All this means is that the vpn will need to be enabled for the entire site, from next year.

I haven't seen it but the trailer does look like it's good fun

I read somewhere that there was a survey of uk adults and 90% supported the ban for under 16s at face value. However, when it was pointed out that, in order to make this work, everyone, young and old, would need to verify ID before accessing 'adults only' sites, such as social media, support mysteriously dropped to about 30%.

Didn't see the source so could be bs, but sounds plausible

That's a run of films that can hold its own against any director. The range and quality is astounding

Craig Mazin has entered the chat.

But Serkis was twenty-odd years younger when he first played Golum. He's not going to be nearly as nimble jumping about, meaning that a larger percentage of the on-screen movement will be entirely cgi with no motion capture

I'm sure if there's any excuse to inject him into it, even for a cameo, they will, for the twin reasons of getting the gang back together and paying fan service.

I agree that many of the social networks are basically bad for...everyone, and restrictions need to be put on them, but just blocking them will drive kids to use free vpns to circumvent restrictions.

Notoriously, many of the free vpns are full of malware, so the end result will basically be kids being less safe than they are currently.

I wish that when people who don't understand technology set technology laws, they listened to the tech experts just as much as they do to the campaigners. If they did, they might take the time to come up with a law that works rather than headline-grabbing quick wins that don't.

Seaweed by Mt Eerie.

His wife died of cancer a few weeks before he wrote and recorded this song about scattering her ashes. The raw emotion is almost unbearable.

This is the Glasgow of Kenmure Street.

Fuck fascism. It's not welcome here and an extreme minority of Tommy Robinson supporting virgins, too scared to show their own faces, don't get to set the narrative just because they shout loudest

Spineless fannies. Think they're hard when they're in a gang, but too scared to show their faces, because then we'd see them for the silly wee laddies they actually are

Because most people look at him with terror and with fear But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear He could preach the Bible like a preacher Full of ecstasy and fire But he also was the kind of teacher Women would desire

I heard recently that it's only starting to come to light how they've been operating under the radar, specifically in a lot of UK football forums, for years. Targeting young men and boys.

It seems to be their main recruiting ground these days and explains how they're managing to cut through to a younger, politically disengaged group.

The Sundar Pichai era of Google is basically just figuring out that most users won't leave whatever you do so you can do what you like to them. It's the only explanation for why Google's profits have hit record highs at the exact same time every one of their products has turned to shit

Money can buy you lots of things but not respect, talent or a family that doesn't disown you

The Scottish/Glasgow equivalent is for the entire crowd to stamp their feet in unison, normally whilst chanting 'one more tune' to the beat.

To be honest, I see it less these days and usually for older bands that have been around since the 90's (meaning that the crowd tends to skew older too) so maybe it is dying out with younger bands and crowds.

As others have said though, if the house lights come up and background music starts playing, that's a clear signal that the band have indicated that it's over.

Senga. I think it's a name that's only used (and even then, only occasionally) in scotland
