Imagine having made a piece of software in 1995 and just finding out there was a website up until 2015 that sold it as part of a package deal. Aparently there were about 10 packages sold per week ( on average ) in the final 3 years.
I do not even really remember what it was. My best guess would be Pythagoras or Lobbing virtualisation in a bad ( but easily programmable in size though a TXT ) square pixel by pixel raster.Thursday, 14-Nov-19 10:18:57 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

You know the great thing about the internet used to be that I could do whatever I want without regulation from any government and now the FTC is getting all up in my grill telling me I have to help protect children from targeted ads.... by declaring whether or not my content is aimed at kids at risk of being fined if they determine I’ve been untruthful. Sigh.

The plan is to eventually have every possible recurring setpiece modeled in a 3D space using shaders that flatten it out as much as possible and textures that make it look like an oil painting so that I never ever ever ever have to draw another background for the rest of my life.

As opposed to feeling odd topically.
Sunday, 10-Nov-19 23:45:55 UTC from web-
@scribus Isn't that just a fancy way of saying 'odd things that are related to the topic'. Such as pretty much everything used to make fun of the situation in every abridged show ever.
For some reason I have to think of this thing
http://rainbowdash.net/url/875304
"The Gods are showing us the truth about our past, I give you our sexy ancient Egyptian ancestors"
You know the rest.
I love oddical topicness, or oddness topical... or... well now both words and all variations thereof just sound made up to me.

@drinkingpony I had meant less "odd things" and more "things which are relevant, but to an unexpected degree." Which probably has a 90% overlap, anyway.

I just had the new She-Ra explained to me by a die-hard fan of the old series
Essentially she thinks it is like taking a beloved franchise that she feels she has supported thoughout the years, by buying merch and all. Someone got their hands on that IP because essentially you can not 'make' a new IP work in the modern oversaturated world. Then added so many new borderline cringe modern 'themes' to it till it pretty much only resembled the beloved She-Ra only in name. I mean For Fox's Sake (I choose to believe she actually said 'For Fox's Sake') they put a first draft D&D character into the show for crying out loud.
Imagine your grandmother learned you how to make granny's apple pie, and then 20 years later she asks you to make her some apple pie just like how she used to like it. Only to have a conversation not even 5 seconds after gramma tasting it about "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU TOOK OUT THE ASBESTOS ?!?"
Strange woman, but made some sense.

@drinkingpony I find most people who complain about "what they've done to my beloved (X)" are upset that (X) is anything more than a 22-minute syndicated toy advert now. "My Little Pony, but with a PLOT and ACTION and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!? Clutch my pearls for me, I'm so weak..."

Oh and just because it will bug me to hell if I do not say it.
Ripley and to a lesser degree Wonder Woman were my role models growing up. Confident, assured, and with a go-get-em attitude, also good posters.
But Ripley was a 'too soon' kinda thing so it never really mattered, and it is considdered a too old movie nowadays to even get taken seriously as a recomendation. Even though it really should.
Also, Wonder Woman ( comic version, Lynda Carter, Gal Gadot ) had to stand aside as Captain Marvel was triumphantly claiming to be the First Female Cinematic Superhero ( seriously, google those 4 words and stand amazed at the amount of scrawled diarhea ).
But hey, I guess I should be glad that the Black Panther craze has died down so Blade ( Wesley Snipes ) can be black again. Eventually a new product comes along and the cycle repeats itself.

This is a GREAT watch http://rainbowdash.net/url/875299 . The level of awareness is so warped in all 6 of these individuals that I could build a case study out of it for psych class.
But I would probably upset a LOT of people regarding either religion, flat eartherism, or globe eartherism.
By the end, the person that could be referred to as Karen even makes the closing arguments that "We do not derrive our beliefs from finding a statement and then only using supporting evidence. You claiming that I derrive my beliefs from religion is a fallacy !" and "Hiding behind 'rocket science' is similar to religion, if you look at the catholic church back in the days 'Only WE can interpet the Bible, you have to listen to what we say' so in a lot of ways we're getting that same from science that says that only they can interpet what those numbers are and you just need to trust them"
Me personally ? I hold no stake in any of them being right. It was good to laugh at.

In what world does saying "Dee Double You Aye" equate in any way faster than just saying "Driving While Intoxicated". And while I can see arguments being made for "Well, that is a difficult word to prenounce", the same happens with "Dee You Aye" 's

@adiwan I would be willing to pay for a LOT of conveniences. But things like "Oh yeah, you are not going to get that specific thing you wanted" ( like with the whole F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Netflix thing, since they were on, and then off, and then on again, and made a couple shows unavailible since they were bad in current era ) or "we are going to split the market in order to give more choice to you, the consumer. Oh do not worry about paying more, that is the price of progress baby" / "We are going to break the monopoly by screaming at it really hard with 'our' monopoly" ( Such as with Steam vs Epic or Netflix vs HBO-Go vs Peacock vs Amazon Prime vs HBO Now vs CBS All Access vs YourMomTV )

"Riyonn Farsad reveals scenes of the show ( The Apprentice ) were 'edited out' to make him look more stupid."
I'm sorry, no. You did not even know when WW2 was.
And before anyone goes 'Oh but everyone knows when WW2 was, because it was terrible'. I just saw a clip of Freddie Bentley ( reality TV star ) saying on Good Morning Brittain that he would rather have learned in school about more pressing issues that he could have used IRL because he found himself unready for reality once leaving school.
Here is the kicker, he thinks that school should trim back on what school teaches about WW2 and more about Brexit.
Tell you what mate, if Brexit becomes a long and bloody battle and takes untill at least 2050 before they finally back out, then I agree. But since that is not the case, I think people would benefit a LOT more learning what actual Nazi's were !
