Demos were cool and that (ThatNukemGuy and Sean Swanson do brilliant recap vids), but…
…what I really looked forward to were the Net Yaroze games that were published on the discs. Most of them were decent; some of them were utter shit; but some of them were absolute bangers.
That, and putting the discs in the CD player gave you a blind taste of some 90s techno choons - the drop in the Lifeforce Tenka track is top quality.
I used to share an office with a contractor in the UK.
Their sickie policy was that you didn’t get paid at all for the first four days of sickness, but for periods of five days or longer you got paid the statutory sick pay rate for the entirety of the sick period.
It was to disincentivise the “one day wonder” sickies after a night on the piss or when you couldn’t be arsed going to work - but predictably, all it did was guarantee that people would be off for at least five days so they got something out of it.
Absolutely backwards.
I lived under the Heathrow-Noo Yoik flight path, and every evening within a couple of minutes, there’d be a dull thud sound on the roof.
By that point, the plane has reached a supersonic speed and the sonic boom was striking the ground in a reduced fashion. It just sounded like someone had dropped a bag of sand on the house.
This was of course back before the days of ADSB tracking.
Is there a soundbite that sounds like “masturbate, then re-evaluate”?
Like “urinate then negotiate” or “pissing before purchasing”
I don’t know, I’m shit at these
It’ll be the biggest exoneration, like no exoneration that has ever been seen before. I was on the phone to Chy-naaa and they came to me and said “Mr President, how do you put on such a good exoneration?”
Who needs git when you have a B: drive and a Save As command for tycoon43.asm
Version control? You mean this?
Large coffees in a coffee shop are about the same price as a pint these days so you might as well.
Unless you’ve got the motor of course, then don’t be a dafty.
Maybe I’m just showing my age but I felt a bit of a gut punch when I asked for two large coffees at the till, and a tenner wasn’t enough to cover them. Fuck me.
It*lians in shambles
meme tax!
Post the meme or story is invalid
This is like one of those two-line horror stories.
The economy is coming from inside the building!
Problem is, asking “don’t well all know” and “I have assumed” don’t meet the evidential threshold for prosecution - and “It just fits” isn’t a compelling legal argument.
I’m no fan of his, but due process should be applied to all - whether it’s a sitting or former president; someone swept up in an ICE raid; or someone contesting a traffic ticket.
A friend of mine got a phone call at daft o’clock one evening from his son who hadn’t turned up home.
“Dad, can you pick me up from the city centre please?”
Bear in mind that he lived in a smaller town 40 miles or so from the city; on a bus route that spanned two cities about 90 miles apart.
Turns out that he had been taught how to board a bus; ask for a ticket; pay; and take a seat… but never learned how to leave a bus.
His dad was understandably pissed off, having been kicked out of bed at midnight to do a near two-hour round trip drive to pick his lad up. He asking him why he hadn’t pushed the bell to signal the driver to stop.
“I thought they were just emergency stop buttons, and because I told the driver where I was going when I got the ticket, I thought he would stop for me… and when he didn’t, I just sat and waited until the end of the line”.
Poor soul.
Like Wreckfest, but with wings and maps.
Sounds like a laugh.
Yeah but the weather’s nice isn’t it. Suns oot, taps aff, might as well go and join a radgey outside a golf course.
edit: this sounds like I’m being flippant, I’m not. Crack on boys and girls, go wild
I get it, it’s still jarring though. I get that an LGBTQI+ mag would want to promote his sexuality to prove visibility of senior civil servants or G-men or whatever the US calls them, but it just feels like a qualifier that shouldn’t be necessary.
Happy to learn otherwise though, I’m open to opinions.
Brilliant game.
Worth playing with the PS1 Descent soundtrack too for a different experience (or Descent Maximum as it was across the pond), it got me in to Type O-Negative too.
I mean, she does suck but isn’t that the norm?
I can’t eat popcorn anywhere without needing to hoover up around me afterwards, and I ain’t untidy by any means!
Unpopular opinion: burgers without cheese are fuckin’ awesome.
Specifically the McDonalds rubbery type cheese. Big Macs, Arch Burgers, whatever - all much tastier without the cheese.
Hell, even asking for a “triple cheeseburger with no cheese” sounds like it defeats the point but awwww yeeeaaahhh it’s just a triple decker beef sandwich.
If you like cheese then crack on, go wild. But it’s worth trying something without cheese for a different experience.
Amazing. Somehow they managed to make it look almost as good as a full price title at the time!
