  6. Word use that tells you that someone is an insecure dw33t

    - uses #metoo as a derogatory term
    - says something like "well let the #bear help you"
    - accuses someone of being an #NPC
    - ditto of having "#MainPlayerSyndrome"
    - refers to #Y2K as a false alarm or hoax
    - says something positive about the #manosphere
    - ditto #cryptocurrency
    - ditto #cybertruck
    - ditto #PassiveIncome
    - ditto #elonmusk
    - says they are #GoingMyOwnWay
    - denies the existence of #patriarchy
    - " #climatechange

    Just IMHO

  9. After buying the Legacy Collection edition of The Sims, I think I finally figured out why I can't seem to get into the other Sims games.

    It's the aesthetic.

    All of the games' aesthetics suit the times in which they were released. Because of that, the original game has a late 90s/Y2K aesthetic to it that appeals to so many of us in the retro games community.

    It's like a charming final snapshot of American life before the 21st century.

  13. Some knew in advance that Skynet was growing geometrically. The Cult of the Human Renaissance had spent years (and a lot of political capital) piggybacking Shuttle launches to build a lifeboat that could remain in orbit with a few hundred inhabitants before the inevitable end came for the billions below.

    When the acute fallout had died back, the theory held, those left above could return to Earth as rulers of the ashes. There were problems with the theory, sure, but the Renaissance held true to its belief that the machines would simply admit defeat when met with their obvious betters.

    August 1997 came and went, the world was enveloped in nuclear fire, and the Cult watched idly from their orbital vantage point. Thirty years up here, and they could emerge triumphant.

    The months passed slowly in orbit, until the end of 1999. The station performed regular boosts to retain elevation, against the ever-so-slight drag of the wisps of atmosphere that were still present up here.

    Until the Cult woke up on Jan 1, 2000, to find an error on the primary navigation display:

    Component can't create object
    Failed on creation from object context: CoCreateInstance (ProgId:
    ADODB.Connection.2.0) (CLSID: {00000514-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4})

    See, all that lobbying to get space on launches, and the Cult's own human rocketry program, had meant they were strapped when it came to design and fit-out of the lifeboat itself. Mechanically it was sound and held pressure, but the navigation and station-keeping software was farmed out to third parties.

    After three rounds of sub-sub-contracting, the work was done by a software engineer at a bank in South Korea. Or well, that was their day job; on the side, they reused much of the code for whatever jobs were going on Mechanical Turk.

    And the day job was maintenance and new features for an ActiveX plugin for the bank, in Internet Explorer 4.01. The latest and greatest at the time of launch, but still not patched for the Y2K bug.

    The millennium came, and station-keeping failed on the lifeboat. Unable to counter atmospheric drag, the Cult of the Human Renaissance came to a fiery end on August 29th 2000, three years to the day after the end of the world.

  18. Remember when i said that some random company should make a smartphone that was more like a late 1990s/early 2000s phone and then try to market it as a modern-day iPhone or Samsung Galaxy? Well...
