Quality language, da iawn.

Ah man, that sucks.

They may have been in your world for a short time, but they have gifted you a lifetime of memories.

Be kind to yourself, friend.

"Hey, I don’t work here "

Was it not just an collaboration of SomethingAwful forumites that founded Goonswarm?

I’m not it’s biggest fan either, but both terms are commonly used in the United Kingdom, and without inherent malice for the most part.

I agree that we should be trending towards “the unhoused” or other more dignified terms, whereas counterintuitively “the homeless” is a perfectly acceptable term elsewhere in the world but stigmatised in the UK.

In short: 🤷‍♂️

I was lucky enough to grow up on this system and there are some absolute bangers out there:

Mission: Shark (or Misja on the European continent): arguably one of the best games on the systems. Silky smooth animation, great gameplay loop, fantastic music. Janusz Pelc at his best.

Rescue on Fractalus: fantastic foray into faux-3D. You’ll never forget the first time you picked up your first “pilot”…

H.E.R.O: finely balanced, a great time killer.

Encounter: far beyond it’s years, the precursor to open world games

Fred: another J Pelc masterpiece. Great platformer.

Star Raiders II: beautiful shooter. The space shoot em’ ups of today can trace their combat gameplay directly back here.

Lode Runner: one of the best and smoothest implementations of this game, along with…

Chuckie Egg: the original and best.

Zybex: a competent shooter with some of the best chiptunes you’ll ever hear.

Blinky’s Scary School: bastard hard, but full of British humour.

Fort Apocalypse: fantastic shooter, with stunning graphics and a blue doppelganger helicopter that will give you nightmares.

Rally Speedway: takes the top down racer formula, tightens the controls, makes it prettier, and gives you a level editor too. Brilliant.

River Rescue: River Raid but better, and if you disagree then you’re entitled to your wrong opinion.

Have fun!

You’ve hit the nail on the head there.

I had a Flip3 as a way of trying to kick my QWERTY habit, and it was cool as fuck. It’s a great conversation starter (if you like starting conversations!), it’s a lovely form factor to carry in it’s folded state, and no matter what anyone says, it’s satisfying as fuck to end a particularly heated call by slamming the phone shut.

Other than that though… it’s just a decent phone. No better or worse than anything else aside from the irritating bloatware.

The hinge was weak as fuck and two of my devices suffered screen bleed from the hinge, but then that was nearly five generations of Flip ago.

In fairness - and I’m a massive id fanboy - the company that gave us quality games and trailblazing tech disappeared when they went to Zenimax.

The publishers admittedly treated them well at the start (Mick Gordon… less so), but this soulless bottom-line thinking was always going to hit them eventually.

Shame.

Looks something fresh out of the Channelwood Age. Beautiful.

“great start, now go for the lead!” 🏁

I was reading the Careless People book about Meta.

One thing that stood out to me was the presentation of the tech early birds or the folk who dodged the dotcom bubble bursting - she specifically used the term “economically insensitive”. People who made their money from big tech’s initial offerings and their own shares going through the roof, being set up for life, and basically working for the love of the game.

It’s wild. If I’d gotten to the point where I’d paid off the mortgage and had enough in the buffer to catch any unexpected bills or travel costs or whatever, then yeah maybe I’d go geese farming or otter rehoming or llama cuddling or something.

pure dead mental down the Quay, so it is but

That second line sounds like a comedic Bond villain line.

And it’s awesome.

A dear friend with a neurodivergence explained her journal to me as cue cards for different places, emotions, and experiences she’d had.

Much like a great dream, most of the memories would turn to smoke without a written pointer of what it was she’d done that day.

It’s a daily list of reminders

I’m sorry to hear that, but I’m thrilled that you can write those three sentences which shows how much you cared for her and how few regrets you had.

Be kind to yourself and enjoy the memories.

Who’d have thought me being a tosser and replying to the wrong comment would spark such a theological debate!

It sounds like Guile’s special move for when someone’s royally pissed him off.
