Trying to finish all levels with all characters on Mario 3D World.

Then, it’s always “just one more race” on F-zero 99

As a child in the 90s, I remember Saturday and Sunday afternoons being incredibly boring if we didn’t go out. TV was shit (still is), and on rainy afternoons you were basically locked at home.

By the late 90s, at age 10, with no internet access in my county, I was mapping ways to beat the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time. I remember scheming for hours, using Farore’s Wind to take me to the beginning of the dungeon and jumping to the platform on the 2nd floor. This way, I was not using the only key I had on the middle pillar, which is what almost everyone got stuck on.

But yeah, I remember the tail-end of this at that time and starting a whole new game to try this out. And it worked. Still proud of 10 year old me. It’s interesting but I hadn’t felt boredom in a really long time.

I don’t know. CEO of Golmdman Sachs sounds pretty classy. Tell her you got a wad of 100s

I just hope it gives them ideas. fingers crossed

I belong to neither of these groups. But here goes it.

Europe: when ordering water, I have to specify for it not to have gas (non-carbonated). Also in places like Germany, people drink those before playing football. I don’t understand how you do it or even like it that way.

People in electric scooters are out of control. Specially in Spain. They’re the most egregious when it comes to disrespecting pedestrian crosswalks, dangerous overtaking in bike lanes and all around assholeness. You shouldn’t ride your fucking patinete in a train station crowded with people.

People from the US: Your tipping culture is out of control. It’s good for outstanding service on certain scenarios. But not for handing me takeout or pulling out a foamy beer from a cooler.

Also , don’t tell newly-aquatinted people from the south that you’re not religious. They’ll try to tell you it’s their duty to save your soul and try to make you go to their religious services, which antagonizes them if you try to set boundaries on your personal beliefs.

Btw. I still like you both.

In my mid 30s and I thought it was a 20s thing. But I also see my friends setting down and worrying about extra-curricular activities and other parent drama. And to me, personally, it seems so petty and depressing.

I got to travel a lot last year and will later this year and that feeling of wanting to explore has not gone away.

Are there currently any that are showing signs of imminent collapse? (Twitter, maybe?).

Or what are the signs to look for those who are untrained in this field?

I feel like it varies within groups of people. But other times, I swear people dress like in a Limp Bizkit video.

It’s weird because I remember the older kids dressing like that younger people today and by the time I got to high school it was peak mid-2000s, with bell bottoms, crop-tops, graphic tees with long sleeves underneath.

It’s mostly cyclical.

I’ve seen in tech. But the great majority of those are either US or EU only. Outside of that, it’s pretty bleak.

I think unlimited texting was a thing in the US since like early to mid 2000s. It was never the case down here (probably still isn’t, since nobody uses it).

In fact, by the time cell phones became ubiquitous down here, it was around the time smart phones were launching. So with regular SMS being expensive, everyone just started using WhatsApp. I think back in the day the app was $1.

It’s kind of fucked-up that Zuckerberg has so much power over people’s businesses, study groups, family communications, neighborhood watches, et al. He could put ads on WhatsApp tomorrow, and people will probably take it, because humans are stubborn and like familiarity in general. I could stop using it today, but I would not be able to participate in a lot of things in society.

You can see it now in Reddit and Twitter. They’ve been completely entshittified and people are still there. In fact, we got people on Lemmy wanting to brigade and participate in r/place and give engagement to that shit-sipper Spez, so he can use the metrics on his damn IPO.

Yeah, my bad. Mlem is bugging out and it seemed like it didn’t post it at all.

As someone from Latin America. FUCK!

It’s literally what everyone uses for business, family/friends groups. Don’t know if any country around here is an exception, but we started using it because greedy telecoms were charging so much money for SMS at the time. So, it was a great way to circumvent that.

Then Facebook bought it when it was already established, so it’s improbable that people will move away from it.

If you’re into the Zelda lore, and like hack and slash. I’d recommend both Hyrule Warriors.

Definitive Edition you’ll play with a lot of familiar characters, I absolutely love tearing through enemies using the Skull Kid or Young Link who transforms into the Fierce Diety and just obliterates everything in his Path.

Age of Calamity is in the era of BOTW and it’s a bit more polished and if you liked the characters in that game, you’ll love to play as them. Just parrying guardian lasers with Oborousa, Riju and Link is fun but challenging. And I absolutely love brining down a Lynel with Hetsu.

I’d also recommend Super Mario 3D World (includes Bowser’s Fury). Lots of fun, but shorter levels and Bowser’s Fury is kind of it’s own open world.

My only regret with the Switch was not getting it earlier in the console’s cycle. I’ve put so many hours into BOTW, TOKTK, both Hyrule Warriors, Mario Odyssey and Smash Bros.

I used to listen to a lot of heavy metal. Lots of mid-late 2000s era metal and old school stuff. By the time I had reached college, and a friend group with diverging tastes, I got into indie rock, hip-hop, electronica, reggae, post-rock, indie pop, etc.

My 14 year old self would’ve been disappointed. I really cut it down from my life. But I’ll still catch metal show and listen to it every once in a while. Or for workouts. Just not something as aggressive and angry that much.

This and Return of the King were my jam in middle school! I’d rather kick orc ladders in Helms Deep, or save Minas Tirith as Gimly than whatever the fuck that Gollum game was.

I got a prescription pad that says otherwise =p

So I can tell Margot Robbie that I got a wad of 100s.

It could totally not be her, though.
