@beardalaxy You can explore the entire thing in one trip as you do it with scuba gear, but you need a professional certificate if you want to explore the bottom, but there is not much there.

It's been on my bucket list ever since I've heard about it because I love being underwater and it feels like something out of a video game level (it reminds me of the city portion of Wet-Dry World in SM64) or a dream. I've always had dreams of being in flooded buildings where you can actually do stuff underwater, so this place excites me.

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to go one day or if not, a similar attraction opens up somewhere else. But of course it's Dubai and the UAE is America's other Middle Eastern ally, so it doesn't look like I would be going there anytime soon. I think there is a similar place in Belgium, but it doesn't have that much scenery.

@Kerosene Anime is haram. So request ignored!

I don't care how this war goes, but Iran better not strike the world's deepest swimming pool! I had plans to go there someday.

@ArdainianRight I thought nothing would get worse than Capcom putting the "these games may contain outdated language and themes that do not represent our values today" disclaimer on their collections.

Coins now have their own sound when collected.

Added an error sound to the menu options.

@djsumdog I could've sworn that there were some sites that are using them for sign ups, not just DDoS protection, but I can't think of any on the top of my head.

@djsumdog It seems like captchas are being replaced by PoW algorithms.

So I just listened to part 2 of the podcast honoring the legacy of Fredrick Brennan (aka Hotwheels).

And of course they just had to talk about the fursona for the majority of it. They even had a section talking about how furries with disabilities use their fursonas to fantasize themselves being able to walk, talk, hear, etc. I cringed at the entire thing.

I was interested in the other episodes of this podcast because it was dedicated to Internet culture, especially the late Web 1.0 and early Web 2.0 days, which I also have an interest in, as I believe that was the golden age of Internet culture. I listened to their episode about Something Awful because I knew next to nothing about that site other than it being the place where 4chan spun off of and the origin of Let's Plays. It was quite interesting, but these hosts are a bunch of Bernie-bro leftists who don't waste any opportunity to shove their politics in their recordings. They even had Robert "fuck the police but the government needs to do a better job at moderating the Internet" Evens as a guest in some of their episodes.

Though there were some political episodes I found interesting, but because they were things I didn't even know about, not because I agreed with them. For example they covered a small controversy that happened back in 2008 when SimCity creator Will Wright was caught donating to John McCain's political campaign, and that may have been part of the reason why he quietly left Maxis.

Personally, I think that if you are going to document Internet history, you need to put your political biases aside otherwise you are just going to put your revisionism when it comes to controversial events on the Internet such as GamerGate or the history of 8chan. Not once did they bring up the existence of boards like /leftypol/, even if it was one of the most hated boards, it still existed, and was proof that it wasn't exclusively a "Nazi site".

@jeff I think Discorse had plans to do so, but I don't know if they have ever implemented it.
