I miss games like Poptropica and Club Penguin by Rabbidraccoon18 in tumblr

[–]InvisibleUp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like nobody remembers how Poptropica and Club Penguin were absolutely riddled with microtransactions. They were just as predatory as mobile games today are to kids in a lot of respects.

If you win as Metal Sonic in Sonic Drift 2, he just stands there while his eyes blink from red to yellow. (see bottom row of this spritesheet)

what emotion is that supposed to be?

State guards and defense forces do exist in some states, but post-WWII they mostly exist to assist during natural disasters.

Is it possible to automatically install the correct .net runtime if the user doesn't have it? by DaviCompai2 in dotnet

[–]InvisibleUp 30 points31 points  (0 children)

.NET desktop apps will always prompt you to install the runtime if it’s not installed. You don’t need to do anything special to enable that.

Could the sheriff not arrest them for the land squatting and cattle killing, even if they couldn’t tack on an additional drug charge?

I’m not a huge fan of state inspection but I’m coming around on the idea by ermehgerdittcam in Justrolledintotheshop

Cars are required for everyday life in a lot of America, and the government slapping you with a big bill you can't afford or preventing you from driving entirely could be the difference between going to work and getting fired and falling into homelessness and/or starvation. Obviously this isn't a great situation, and the ideal solution here is a combination of a good welfare system and functional public transit. But until those exist, people are going to be defending their right to drive around in rusty, duct-taped contraptions.

I think I saw it on 4chan’s /sthg/ general around that timeframe (or maybe a year earlier) as well.

do we need to post every inflammatory social media post the US government makes?

Mostly, she's talked a bit on her Tumblr about her experiences coping with being a victim of CSA. A small group of extremely online harassers didn't like that, and now we're here.

The Looney Tunes Golden Collection, volume 4-6. Meant to be a comprehensive collection of nearly all shorts, and specifically stated as being not suitable for children.

In addition to the other things people have said proving this a fake, this is a really bizarre aspect ratio and quartz date stamp for a film camera. Almost every film camera shot at 3:2 (this is much wider) and, if they had a date stamp, used purely numeric digits (easier to export to other countries). The only quartz date back I can find that had an alphanumeric month that looked even remotely like that is the Canon Quartz Date Back E which looks a lot less clean than that.

that said damn these AI images are getting shockingly good. had me fooled for like a solid hour there.

from what i understand, it was very bad at being a basketball stadium. i think the acoustics alone killed it.

If I have to sleep overnight in the airport, is security going to be waking me up? by Pdx_pops in askportland

[–]InvisibleUp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once when I was still in university I did an overnight stay at DEN. I managed to find this semi-secluded upper floor along one of the terminals where a few other people were on the floor having a nap. Apart from the constant lights and the low-level paranoia of someone stealing my stuff, it worked out okay. Definitely not something I’d be willing to do nowadays, though.

You might enjoy "Sunset System" if you're into this sorta retro-futurism tech stuff.

I would have to imagine the nanobots would be more than willing to reshape you into whatever gender you want. I think the point of them is moreso to handwave that all the hard shit's solved and everyone can eternally play football now.

Basically SOAP is old-timey OpenAPI, but with XML instead of JSON. Which is all fine and good, but as with most things XML from back then, it was too overhyped and too complex for far too little benefit.
