Hard ass game. Most often popiniski would be the one that got me. Sandman and macho were really tough. Beating Tyson required spoon bending abilities. Only did it once after countless hours of replay. The fact that I can’t put that on my resume is a shame as I invested way more time and concentration on this than most other life accomplishments. I don’t have anywhere near the patience to play such repetitive sequence games anymore. I would be surprised if many younger people in this era would have the patience to make it to the bottom row of this graphic.

That’s not a patience issue, that’s a design issue that has been eliminated in modern games.
There’s no reason to delay progress by making players repeatedly play through several trivial fights before getting back to where they are having a challenge. It was done in the NES era because they were operating under the philosophy that “the longer it takes to beat the game = the more hours of gameplay in it.” It didn’t matter if most of those gameplay hours were trivial digital chores like stomping Glass Joe yet again.
It’s more of a “This is all we had” than it is “people used to have more patience”. Looks at all the MMOs that are non-stop digital chores that people have the patience for.
Also the mindset of getting quarters out of gamer’s pockets was very much the standard way of thinking about game design, even if no quarters were involved.
To rip off investors. If they pretend to be on the same hype train as everyone else, and lie about what their product does, there’s a chance some idiot will give them more money.
Fuckin’ hell, investors don’t know shit about the shit they are investing in do they, if all you need to do is slap some bullshit buzzwords on it and they’ll suck your dick.
It’s a buzz word.
ChatGPT came out and all the other tech companies like Google freaked the fuck out because they weren’t first to the market.
In response they started adding AI to Google search.
Well, Microsoft can’t let that stand either so now they’re both in a mad dash to put it in fucking everything before the other guy does.
Illness, death, and antisocial behavior. All of these were threats we evolved to handle, people who are “a little bit off” in one way or another, who might endanger the group or individual. This, and that our pattern seeking brains don’t like it when something doesn’t easily fit within an existing schema, even more so if it lies just outside of our existing preconceptions.
Obviously, I can’t say that these definitely are the reasons why we experience the uncanny valley, but I think it’s probably a better explanation than… Skin walkers? Or whatever else the meme would be implying.
Still, it’s a cool premise for a horror story at least.
Depends…
Adguard has little secret that can strip any protocol request, basically it’s has monitor that can detect any weird behavior apps that has access to internet
From my experience it’s work flawlessly, but you need a little bit of work to enabled it & of course you need the right filters
In my device i used AdAway for host blocking (a.k.a non regex filtering) & Adguard for blocking ads that has weird behavior. Both of them works flawlessly & since then my device has no ads/tracking or whatsoever wherever i go
Well part that break any banking apps, i can’t deny that
But there’s fix for that things, i just followed some guy instructions from XDA Forum & all my banking/paying apps work flawlessly
Of course it’s not easy work at first tbh, but always remember it’s hard but you only do that hard working once
I remembered 10 years ago have same thinking like you, but after internet has became shitty i must do that. At first yes… everything seems like hard things to do since it’s first time for me do something to my smartphone way beyond it’s recommend, but after that it’s just like walking in the park
AdAway alone can’t remove that thing unless you used HAGEZI filters & 1Host pro filter
For apps i just used Adguard bc it can strip any protocol & block ads even if that app has encrypted ads
Reminder to check in on your parents & warn them of the latest scams - your voice, cloned, claiming you’re in some emergency desperation need of lots and lots of money. They’ll fall for it. Discuss a plan with them BEFORE this happens!
Nothing but pie in the sky desperate reaching. Young people don’t vote tory so they’re not losing any votes. Old people who did national service almost exclusively vote tory already so they don’t factor in.
It’s the 50-70 demographic who never did national service themselves who sit at the bar down the local complaining about how young people have no respect completely forgetting that they were punks, mods, rockers and skinheads when they were growing up.
Here in Finland we had this kinda thing forever and it’s actually quite popular, so not going to change anytime soon. However, the main issue is that it’s mandatory only for men and excluding some groups like Jehovas Withnesses and those residing in Åland islands.
EDIT: And there is criminal penalties if you refuse. However, no more prison I believe, but a house arrest order rather.
Fun fact, a significant proportion of the people doing these scams are victims of human trafficking who are being forced into it with threats of violence
Some fake Telekom workers showed up at my grandma’s place in person recently, wearing uniforms and all, saying they need to “perform maintenance on the TV connection”. Luckily, grandma’s still super sharp, recognized that something was off, and just shouted “Peter, the TV people are here” into her flat, even though she was alone and Peter had died decades ago. They made some excuses and left immediately when they thought they were no longer just prying on a single brittle old lady.
Super proud of her, but also so scary to think that a bunch of asshole scammers were so close to just walking around in her flat.
Ha, something similar happened to my grandmother, though they claimed to need to read her meters. My grandmother is in her 90s and has a lead a hard as fuck life, she takes zero shit. So she immediately thought it was odd that they didn’t say which utility meter they needed to look at, nor did their uniforms have anything more than vague identifiers on it. So she said oh? which meter? What utility? She said they stammered a bit but said water, and she said, ok, the water meter is right there, pointing to the meter in the back of her car-port. Then they tried to come up with some BS about how they need to get the “other” meter readings at her water-heater. She knows that isn’t a thing. So she said there isn’t such a thing, you need to leave. They immediately started to argue and she said “I have no qualms shooting two men trying to rob me”. They left, they were yelling they would tell the police, their utilities company, the department of public works, etc. She said she needed to take her heart medication right afterword, but was otherwise fine. Well guess what? Nothing came of it. Thing is, she keeps a small gauge shot-gun next to the door and would have, indeed, shot them if they tried to get inside.
