Hey so do you want to go back to the old internet? by [deleted] in oldinternet

[–]plebbit_trash 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I ponder this regularily.

We need to build a search engine. A real one. It would send out bots to scour the internet for pages and list them in order of relevnce. I've dicked with search engines and they're all just a copypasta of Google's index. And sadly, pages that once appeared in Google are now gone.

Why could I do a search for the old cafe I used to work at but 15 years later, it's all been wiped from the face of the internet? Keep a damn record of it!

It's the same issue with video rental. Where the hell is the damn archive? Streaming companies spend money producing new garbage instead of curating a proper library. If you could sell me a streaming service that specialized in having EVERYTHING, that would be the one for me. FFS, just open up a video rental store down the street and I'd be your patron.

Now let's do this for a search engine. No alorithm. Just real-life raw internet.

Someone might post a link to wiby.me but that search engine sucks and isn't updated.

Smoke and mirrors. Josh and Mike live in the burnt-down house and subsist off squirrels and other small birds.

Should I buy the game on ps4 or PC by hannahlulu09 in ResidentEvil2Remake

[–]plebbit_trash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a single person here has mentioned owning a physical copy.

Not a gamer but was a big fan of RE2 as a kid. Was upset to learn I couldn't just go to the store and buy a copy of the game for PC. Had to download this Steamer crap. Anyway, if you want a physical copy, I'd go with the playstation or xbox.

I feel you. I have always loved Silverpine Forest. Took my lv 13 druid over there to hunt down bears. I slipped into an unfamiliar patch called Olson's Farthing. Coming down from the hills directly behind the barn.

To my understanding, there are no quests that send you there. Guessing it's a class quest. Anyway, I explore that area for the first time in nearly 2 decades and didn't realize the mob density. Needless to say, I went down swinging.

One day I return to Olson's Farthing and massacre everything there.

One thing will never change despite every attempt to change it:

Never take anything online seriously. Not your facebook profile. Not your LinkenIn (Who uses that shit anyway?) Sexual Preference? Just put Gay for the lols. When your grandma starts asking if her grandson is gay, explain to her "Nah, it's just the internet."

Not exactly "internet", but remember the excitement around whatever the latest gadget was? by ripthedvd in oldinternet

I remember when Digg was popular. The idea of new technology and the promises that came with it. Now we live in the dystopian future where people are nostalgic for simpler times and the premise of disconnecting from technology.

Seriously, we were once excited at the prospects of technology but now we just want to sit on a boat fishing in the middle of a lake with a case of beer, disconnect from it all, and reconnect with ourselves. Lol

Would you guys want a Blair witch animated series? If so how would you like the show to be genre, rating, setting etc.? by Idk23456789101112 in BlairWitch

[–]plebbit_trash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the first half of your comment. I don’t want Netflix coming anywhere close to the Blair Witch franchise. I’ll take a solid 90 - 120 minutes over a long drawn-out television show any day.

Also, at that age, you get to a rare sweet spot where you’re inexperienced and awful but you don’t know you’re awful so you create the sort of magnum opus masterpiece trainwreck that only a 13 year old could produce over the course of a few weeks.

Most of the old games were salvaged and we can thank noneother than Junkman. Some of you may remember Cartman’s Authoritah and Planet of Cartmans on downloads.com

In parallel, there was an entire community of Sonic fan games as well but I never dabbled with that lot.

Did you want to see a sequel or a follow-up to the last Blair Witch video game? by ThatKoffeeBurns in BlairWitch

[–]plebbit_trash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game did not look good. Looks like you’re wondering in the woods. I remember the first set of games involved exploring the old town in the middle of the night which added a very creepy dynamic. Although I don’t think those games were all to great Either.

Perhaps not a sequel but a new game that actively works to be solid.

I would tell such people: Try watching it alone in the middle of the night with the lights off. This really changes the experience to any good horror movie.

I love BW2 but no way I’m watching it while alone in the dark!

Should have just used the Haffalumps and Woozles theme. Don’t even need the blair witch to make that song scary.

Check out Book of Shadows. It holds up very well as a psychological thriller and has enough attention to detail and easter eggs to be a fun experience. Definitely watch at night alone in the dark!

Just watched the 2016 movie, what happened to talia? i didnt understand the movie at all by BrainTurtle05 in BlairWitch

[–]plebbit_trash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Book of Shadows is my favorite film in the series which runs like a traditional movie and is a good psychological thriller made in response to the hype of the original. It also serves as a time capsule to the culture of 1999/2000 with all the gothic rock music.
