Shit, I’d love for him to delete the twitter databases

Eh, I bet those reports go straight to the same /dev/null that receives youtube reports from real people. I guess all we can realistically do is spam gemini with long prompts in order to cost them extra money.

No, it’s used to mean anyone who’s extremely likely to obey marching orders, dancing orders, camping orders, attack orders (jan 6th on USA, jan 8th on Brazil) and conform to the opinions of their masters

More likely, he’ll delete the community note

Brazil has a decent political diversity on paper, but the right here is pretty much a copy of the USA right, who mainly defend the interest of the rich (basically they’re all in favor of destroying the environment for profit, privatizing health and other public services, “defending” family values, anti abortion, pro “free speech”, voting en masse to increase their own salaries and being USA’s obedient little bitch). The “center” parties are pure mercenaries and, when not bought by any one side, will ally with the right.

So why would google want to handle all the complaints and backlash they’ll take for this?

Because it’s worth getting on trump’s “good side”, per Ajit Pai’s reasoning

Wait, does that mean that Doom 2016 is based on true events, then? Because the H E A V Y M E T A L always plays when a portal opens up with loads of demons!

… Neoretro? For fucks sake

Language, motherfucker! 😡

Horse anus bringing bros together

Fake: anon doesn’t have a sister

Gay: getting drunk with a dude and getting his number

Remember kids: you’re supposed to shit on the toilet, not on the water cooler.

So, the same applies to seedless grapes?

20 years is a good cutoff, in my opinion. That puts the original God of War in retro territory, and I’m ok with that. I’m also ok with vanilla WoW (up to patch 1.8 or so) being retro. These things are old, we’re getting old and pretending games from 2005 and before aren’t retro is just wishful thinking.

The engineer solution: back to egg laying, which also fixes menstruation

Also please reroute the food pipe to not use the air pipe

Mine were actually useful, gotta respect my uni for that. The only bits we didn’t manually program ourselves were the driver and the tomcat server, near the end of the semester we were writing our own Reflections to properly guess the object type from a database query.

Not enough carrots in your diet, that’s what

I think gaming as a recreation without gambling didnt really come about until the 1940s - 1950s, right? Commonly, of course.

Historically, games have always been about recreation. Gambling saw an opportunity and just fucked many games because, hey, quick money! Some games were made with the full intent of being for gambling, but those are beside the point.

Anyway, outside the places where the dumb English puritanism* took over, you can see games being culturally significant throughout history: Go in SEA and Mancala in Africa, for instance. When important people received important guests (like royalty receiving other royalty), one or two matches of a board game like chess were common. Interestingly, Age of Empires 2’s intro cutscene, and Total War: Three Kingdoms’ Cao Cao trailer, should give a proper idea of that. Playing games wasn’t exclusive to the powerful, of course, but it goes to show that games were deemed important even by them.

I remember a saying that roughly translated into “kids play, adults play games” - which also gives an interesting insight into how the English language disregards any difference between the two types of play (and theatrical plays, for that matter). In portuguese, it’s the difference between brincar (kid play) and jogar (play a game)

* English puritanism went full on "anything fun = devil", games being included there, whether they had gambling or not. To them any idle time should be used for praying, work or something work related.
