Mainly I was pining for turn-based Phantasy Star. I’d accept DnD. I was out of the gaming world from 2005-2020. I could have looked harder, it’s true, and that’s why I’m asking questions.

Is that how those work? I’ve been thinking about BG3. I suppose the first RPG I ever played was a Gold Box SSI game set in the Forgotten Realms so I’d probably like it.

One of my favorite series, Phantasy Star, moved from a turn-based RPG in the 80s to an action RPG since 20 years ago (PSO, PSO2). What if I don’t want to play an action game? I don’t get what happened to the old style of RPG.

Nobody cares if you have a rifle that fires a different caliber. Selling full auto mod kits is illegal though.

Yeah, good point. It wasn’t in all caps.

I know a dude who has a daughter named ISIS, born before ISIS was a problematic name. Haven’t talked to him in years but I wonder how that’s going.

Uh, no. It’s a statement about the ability to modify property and laws relating to that. Not sure who brought up murder.

If I modified a rifle to be full auto, that would be a crime in most countries. That would not, however, mean I didn’t own the rifle.

Nice! I have a friend with an original Berzerk standup.
‘intruder alert…’

A terminal is a physical device like a VT100. When people refer to a terminal today it’s almost always a terminal emulator running on a TTY, ssh on a PTY, a login shell or a GUI program.

Reddit claims they didn’t and don’t have to.

There is no “ackshully” and he didn’t call anyone a liar. He just said a statement was incorrect.

“Axis of evil” was a GWB and Cheney thing. I don’t think Obama ever used the term.

It would probably ruin them and their work though. While I have little sympathy for the plights of billionaires, it’s difficult for people to not allow that level of ridiculous wealth and power to affect them. These people have found a much healthier path to success. I’m sure the living ones are all financially comfortable without the ridiculous distortion of excess wealth.

Also though I’d object to anyone being a billionaire since it’s absurd.

I’m not Australian.

The Australian pronunciation works… “squi-rell”. Common American one is somehow just one syllable, “Skwurl”

I never had a PS1 but had always heard of this game and wanted to play it, so I did it on emu a few years ago. Thought it was pretty cool… gameplay wise, kind like the evolution of the Genesis game Flashback.

I played a “web3” game for a while, based on real estate. It’s still around. It has some possibilities to make real-world money but seems to function mainly on game scrip, like most microtransaction games. The idea is solid, “crypto virtual property” copy of the real world, but holy cow were the developers absolutely terrible at making it fun. The non-financial mechanics of the game are the most god-awful boring thing I have ever seen. I guess they’ve improved it recently with street racing, but I haven’t tried that.

That would be nice. Personally I have two medical devices that have to be constantly connected to my phone via Bluetooth.
