I always heard that it was an infinite number of monkeys, not just one. So one of them might get the job done in time.

Isn’t this a fairly standard sci-fi plot?

AI: Kill humans off, problem solved.

You’d be surprised how many people don’t have the motivation/understanding to do even that.

I feel like most of the kind of people who go out of their way to pirate also go out of their way to avoid ads.

Yeah, now that both of the main emulators have been shut down, it will be interesting to see how well people can run future high profile Switch games on PC. Mario & Luigi Brothership and Metroid Prime 4 come to mind.

So can we stop using those damn things? They’re super annoying!

Nah, can’t be, they said it was a European one and the UK voted to no longer be part of Europe. /s

I use the PS5 to watch YouTube on the TV, no way around the ads there. But no way in hell I’m paying them!

Not really unusual. They don’t care if you pirate stuff, they just want you to pay for internet access. They only sent notices and such to keep the rights holders happy.

They better sue Microsoft over WoW, then, their IP did that in 2007.

Pro revisions are the time to go crazy with outrageous prices since they’re not needed to be able to play any of the games. But if they try that crap with a base model, it’s PC Master Race time for me.

You can get a disc drive for it, but it’s $80 extra.

Technically I’m the the first category, since personal computers have been around since before I was born and started going semi-mainstream before I was 15, but they didn’t really take off in popularity until I was in the second age category, so that one fits me the best.

It seems like a kind of horseshoe thing where Boomers are computer illiterate because they weren’t around when they were growing up, while Zoomers are computer illiterate because they grew up primarily interfacing with technology via the simplified, corporate-approved mobile phone platforms. Gen X and Milliennials came of age when computers were still more of a Wild West.

Video games and getting them to run on computers taught me most of what I know about them via “fiddling,” so this checks out for this Xer.

No! They did it! They blew it up!

And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen?

And then the birds took over and ruined their society.

And then the cows. And then…I don’t know, is that a slug, maybe?

Noooo!
