@shebang Spit that shit out! Pizza is meant to be eaten fresh.

The Japanese-only N64 port of SimCity 2000 (not to be confused with SimCity 64, which was for the 64DD) is probably the most bizarre port of a video game I have ever played. It of course, weebs-up an originally American game by adding things like anime cutscenes and a dating sim, but it also adds a sci-fi story arc to what was originally an open-ended city builder.

Basically, you start off building you city until scientists discover an asteroid heading towards your city. If you get a high enough population, by 2015, some benevolent aliens presumably relocate your entire city (including the buildings and literal landscape) into a space-ship. There are even minigames where you battle evil aliens on your multi-generational journey across the stars. Once you reach a population of 1 million people, the generation ship carrying your city lands on a habitable planet where you can unlock a free-play mode.

There are also things like a horse-betting minigame and some minigame where you try to create some GMO crops. Though I do have to admit that the BGM for the space attack minigame is really good.

But yeah, I can clearly see why it wasn't localized, but I actually do find the idea of a story-driven city-builder quite interesting. It kind of makes sense for a console game where people expect an actual goal.

@Kerosene @Kyou I miss mps-youtube. It was a command-line front-end for Youtube that allowed you to search videos and watch them via MPV. You can even just listen to the audio. Sadly, it hasn't been updated in years.

@Kyou Or the invidious pill. Which is free and ad-free.

@lanodan @Vril_Oreilly Too bad my Dad is too much of an HP fanboy to realize this.

@Hyperhidrosis@shitposter.club Women are literally the most judgemental people on the planet, so much so that they drive themselves and others to suicide in a faulty chase of "perfection".

@Vril_Oreilly Meanwhile a laser printer like Brother does seems to be the kind of thing that works for ages. (Mine being from 2009 and still works like a charm)

Day 1 on Advent of Code done with Typescript. I hate it. It really is just javascript with some shitty typing added on top and kinda-sorta some QoL improvements.

I'm not really looking forward to tons of string parsing with this garbage.

But this is how we grow as programmers, right? By challenging ourselves?

@ghast@liberdon.com I know for a fact that some users here are married.

I'm surprised that there isn't a fediverse instance dedicated for the incel community. Something like Wizardchan or /r9k/, but as a fedi instance, not that I would use it or even care about the incel community in general.

@Moon You tend to forget ~90% of your dreams when you wake up, lucid or not. You are just going to end up forgetting about what you wrote.
