  • Some kind of (Atari?) console that I think only had pong, or if it had other games I can’t remember them.

    The first good games I played? Prince of Persia and Karateka on DOS, also mines of Titan but I had zero idea how to play that. Also word muncher; loved that game but I was a dumb kid and didn’t know the solutions many times. I also got an MSX keyboard and the little tape machine addon that somehow played video games off audio cassettes. I still have zero idea how you put video games on audio cassettes.





  • Guys running the one platform be like “they’re pirating our show,” other guy hosting a different platform be like “no, in this region it’s us hosting that show so it’s us they’re pirating from,” third guy hosting another platform be like “next month it’s our platform that’ll be hosting it so it’ll be us they’re pirating from”, fourth guy hosting another platform be like “we’re the guys authorized to actually be selling that show in this region at this time, so they’re also pirating from us”, fifth guy also hosting another platform be like “wait, they’re also pirating this show only we’re authorized to stream but we don’t offer our service in that country”

    Pirate be like “I host everything”

    (Not justifying it, just saying Gabe was right)



  • Dungeon keeper but with immortal redneck play as a complementary aspect; there are DK clones where you can possess monsters, but they lack what immortal redneck has to offer gameplay-wise.

    Also a game similar to void bastards but with multiplayer, more monsters, less crafting and more guns, and better/more varied environments, and no time limits. Also immortal redneck with multiplayer. Also ziggurat with multiplayer. Also hands of fate with multiplayer.

    Actually forget game, I wish there was a program that could force any game to be multiplayer; or a dev team you could hire that would do that.




  • name five questions about the timeline of relations between the Klingon Empire and the United Federation of Planets.

    Okay:

    Question number 1: In what year did the Klingons enter into a peace with the federation?

    Question number 2: In what year did the Klingons enter into conflict once again with the federation?

    Question number 3: Why did the Klingons start the conflict again and under whose leadership?

    Question number 4: Did the Klingons dispute the ownership of any of planets with the federation, and if so, which?

    Question number 5: What role did Picard play in his diplomatic relations with the Klingons?

    I’ve no idea why you wanted me to name five questions but here you go (also I was joking in my previous post; I hope you’re not actually taking it seriously)







  • Weeeeeeell…I like the Irish and I think they’ve been awesome all around (the IRA and their support for Palestine), but even by their mythology they apparently did colonize their lands ages ago; something about defeating the Tuatha De Danann who themselves defeated the Fir Bolg and the Fomorians. The De Danann, Fir Bolg and Fomorians are depicted as inhuman beings but I personally think these were peoples who lived in extremely ancient Ireland who were defeated by the ancestors of modern day Irish people, but then, this would have been quite a few thousand years ago anyway and holding it against them would be silly (basically it was so long ago that it’s not even concrete whether this myth has any basis in reality and certainly no trace of those peoples, their culture and their civilizations still exist; also even if you decide to believe the myth has some basis in reality behind it, Irish culture has not been a culture of colonizers for the last several thousand years).



  • there’s entire chapters that just go “x is the son of y is the son of z is the son of a who’s the son of b and the son of c”.

    I can’t speak to how relevant this is to history in most parts of the world, but interestingly in places like ancient Ireland, genealogy was an important part of identity. Among the questions a stranger would be asked would be who his father is, what his clan is and what his profession is. Obviously today we value different aspects of identity, but historically at least in some places (and at the point I’m mentioning in history, Ireland was Christian) bloodline was part of how people knew you; it’s a fascinating look into historical mindsets.
