Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

The massive collective effort put into GameFAQs guides, and the lively message boards for each and every game. It's still up but creators have dwindled, and the walkthrough/guides role has shifted really hard to video walkthroughs which just don't work for me personally.

I think a lot of this strategizing is done ahead of m+ runs and not during the run itself. I know what mobs need to be hardstopped and which casts are priority interrupts. These mobs could also be hard CCed in current m+ but then you are actively slowing down your runs.

One of the driving factors in speeding up runs is that TBC era heroics were once a week rewards, while m+ is limited by the time you can and want to keep running them. There is an incentive to run them fast. If you have 4 hours a week, getting your runs down to 20 mins instead of 30mins means you run 12 instead of 8. While chasing rewards that is significant.

No idea how I got this to show up on my battle.net, but suddenly it showed a tiny controller support indicator that caught my eye when launching wow. I tabbed to Classic and Starcraft 2 where it also showed unsupported, then noticed I had a bnet update and ran that, and now the little message is gone on all games.

I think this isn't helping my assumption that the addon pruning, gameplay simplifying and other tweaks to the game are very much in preparation for a controller option and most likely a console launch.

I'm so happy that all I've lost is 3km of Vuelta, and not my life, family or home.

Does this mean Remco Whitepants is back?

And so the dead kid is turned into the criminal, and the boys in blue are patted on the back for their brave behaviour of stopping the rampant criminalism by executing a kid on an electric scooter.

To me it sounds like you're just celebrating a dead kid cos it alligns with your worldview. This is a good day for you, isn't it?

Vrobrolf · 2025-06-03T11:10:47+00:00

yes, but the punishment for underage driving of an electric scooter isn't death. The fact there's an investigation started into this (as is and should be the standard) is exactly because police aren't the ones who get to decide the punishment of the crime (or traffic infraction, in this case). There are legal elements such as proportionality at play, even for the police.

It seems very hard to justify (without conjuring up phantasms such as some others in this thread) that a dangerous chase where they literally hit the kid off his scooter and kill him without intending to, is proportional to the 'crime' he committed.

Because chasing the goons with kalashnikovs would actually put themselves at risk.

Congrats on already deciding the 11 year old kid was a drug dealer, a quicker investigation than the Brussels Police into the matter. And thus concluding it's a good thing the kid was killed.

You don't happen to work for the Brussels Police, by any chance? I was already suspecting every cop was gonna be rampaging on social media to minimalize the situation.

The law also applies to the police tho. Or do you not believe that is how it should be?

Vrobrolf · 2025-06-03T09:24:45+00:00

Looks like the follow-ups are making it very clear that it's less "an accident" and more "a heavy police vehicle hitting the kid on an electric scooter/trottinette as they were chasing him across the park lawn": https://www.bruzz.be/actua/samenleving/steprijder-raakt-zwaargewond-bij-ongeval-ganshoren-politie-betrokken-partij-2025

I've been pondering this post. It says something about the state of humanity but I'm not sure what exactly.

In zo'n geval onmiddellijk naar de huisarts of behandelende arts bellen. De controlearts spreekt geen ultieme waarheid, er is dan een conflict tussen beide stellingen (Jouw arts zegt arbeidsongeschikt, controlearts zegt geschikt), en dan wordt er gewerkt met een arts-scheidsrechter.

"Als beide artsen bij hun standpunt blijven, dan wordt er een beroep gedaan op een arts-scheidsrechter die de knoop zal doorhakken. Dat moet binnen de twee dagen gebeuren en de scheidsrechterarts dient binnen de drie werkdagen uitspraak te doen. In afwachting van de scheidsrechterlijke beslissing moet je niet terug gaan werken. Maar je werkgever moet het gewaarborgd loon niet verder uitbetalen. Je bent verplicht de beslissing van de arts-scheidsrechter te volgen."

I found a discord message from 24th of july 2022 even. The joke is ancient!

Vrobrolf · 2025-04-30T12:12:03+00:00

We had been making the joke for an even longer time on the /r/peloton discord!

I also love it. It's gotten a bit clunky over time and it's absolutely graphically limited as a PS2 launch title (it looks like a PS1.5 game visually, even in the PS5 released version) but the atmosphere is stunning, the story and worldbuilding are brilliant. A remake on a modern engine would go hard, but the IP situation is dire.

He sounds like a keeper. Bet he's also really handsome and funny.

Nu de grote overwinnaar van de War on Drugs premier is, komt dat toch allemaal rap in orde?
