This is brilliant - one quality rant, for sure.

Egss are a metric, which people are focusing on but they’re forgetting whybits a useful metric ('cos it’s protein that’s cheaper than meat and a useful building block of a lot of foods)

I might be a slow learner but I’m catching on…

That’s, you’ve really added value!

Been there, done that!

Didn’t really learn from it either, sadly - it just made everything azure taste like ass

(not in a good way!)

Yeah, when I was a teenager a bunch of us went off the deep end in school. It was crazy complex, though! Gave me a huge respect for the amount of work that goes into things (especially the high polygon stuff! I’ve really no idea how it works nowadays though…)

Oh for sure, I did plenty of level building. The d1 map mode was so hard to read when the wireframe layers occluded each other though (can’t remember what it looked like in some!)

As much as I hated the thief (and catching it early in each level was a priority!), I recognised it as a good mechanic.

My problem was the level complexity in d2 and 3 - it just got too tedious and hard to navigate which killed the fun. The annoyung guidebot was absolutely necessary!

Holy crap, a successor got released?!

I remember when the alpha was melting down years ago!

I loved D1. 2 & 3 weren’t that great, but something about that original game really stuck with me

Still does where I’m from! As to why they front up for the 18 cents (or similar), seems mental

So wait, it would convert them into an SMS for you?

Why bother with the middle man…

For horrible design, spam.com does really well

Do does that mean they took an existing limitation from the SMS protocol, that didn’t apply because it used data instead and then shoehorned it into a godawful web 2.0 monstrosity all the same (and bear in mind, this is significantly reducing the unnecessary character limit!)

Similar to this, I’ve got a real beef with our unresolved insecuritues we have as a people (in principle. Obviously in practise this is hard).

I feel like the insecurities that essentially, drive us, are really holding us back from meaningful progress on our legitimately hard problems with climate, energy/food distribution, etc…

We’re still drawn into BS distractions and opposing teams and whatnot like a bunch of monkeys with sticks (which is apt, to be fair)

Holy crap there’s a ton of these that they’ve made?!

Yeah but there’s other contributing factors, such as the highly traditional society and a greater sense of honour and conformity

Holy shit that must be equally frustrating and satisfying all at once - what a turn around!

Sadly it’s a lot cheaper than a support hotline…

And it was always temporary!

I’ve had less fall out than I had cases where the screw stuck in the socket and it started unscrewing out of the motherboard that I just gave up on them altogether

Oh yeah, I remember these! They were often shaped to fit in around the strip of function keys (and some weird ones down the side?)

Wow, that’s amazing - thanks!
