Huh. Well, to be fair it’s been a while since I played it…

Hmm… I don’t remember that being in the original.

Why, exactly?

This seems NSFW, but I’m unsure why.

It’s clearly pussy-trapped, not booby-trapped.

Ngl, that second meme is so bad, it hurts me physically. “iPad” for workstation OS? If they meant iPadOS, it would’ve been “iOS” at the time anyone would consider Vista.
Linux is “unlimited”? As in “open source”?

And honestly, in early 2010s, when Vista was still relevant, Linux wasn’t really a choice yet (for the vast majority). I know, cause I tried.

It obviously means that the fart was spicy and is now burning his anus.

Umm… Is the joke that what we see is actually a very small part of EM spectrum and things that we’re unable to see is the vast majority? Or just that “haha rainbow gay”?

I’m pretty sure most regular users will not even notice the charge, and find it useful down the line. Cause one day they will mess something up, complain to MS that they “lost their work”, will be pointed to the cloud where everything was synced, and rejoice. Most users don’t really care about the implications that their documents are in the cloud.

It seems that everybody who doesn’t know Cyrillic thinks that Д is the Cyrillic A…

And he be ballin’!

I’m aware of some DOS games that did it. For example 1989 Prince of Persia had you enter the exact character (page, line, word) from the manual.

On PS1 you’d probably never complete Metal Gear Solid (1998), cause you need to call somebody on the codec, but the frequency was on the box cover.

They are right, it was used for that. Sometimes some key information for progress would be in the manual or on the box. Luckily it wasn’t super popular on consoles, due to the notion that it wasn’t as easy to pirate on consoles as it was on home computers, where you could just copy the floppy/CD.

I’m not sure I understand. What point?

Yeah, that was the case early on. But because of that problem we were very incentivized to learn English. Which we did pretty fast.

Psh. As a kid in a post-soviet country I hadn’t seen a game manual up until PS3 days. Every single cartridge and disc sold there was just that. Best case scenario in a flimsy plastic case that would disintegrate in a couple of years. Had to rawdog the shit out of those games. Pure trial and error and perseverance.
Stuck? Try every possible button combination in every location that makes any sense.

For example, couldn’t finish Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster’s Hidden Treasure on Mega Drive (Genesis) because I didn’t know you can jump off walls. Finished it earlier this year though 🙃

Not to brag, but my brother and I passed the garage test mission in Driver (PS1) as kids. Now that I think about it, I should put it on my resume.

You were at 100 upvotes in my Voyager tracker. Now have to start all over… :(

Even with some Cajun seasoning?

Me: I wish you to tell me truthfully, exactly how many wishes I have remaining.

It has already been concluded on another post that Lemmy is antisocial media.
