Old post from the furry scene that fell off the face of the internet until I remembered it the other day, but a good story on why you should never dox yourself to join a group or movement:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190830092943/http://plsknot.me/index.php/2018/05/07/no-you-cant-have-my-id/

Basically to get past vetting you can either steal an ID and black out the results (and it won't show up in useless reverse image search engines anyhow lmao) or you're giving your full dox to the server admin, who is keeping it on his HDD for future blackmail purposes or some other gay reason. The context here are furry discord servers, which also require ID to try to "verify" ages (since a lot of the groups are loaded with kids and groomers).

@beardalaxy @xianc78 yeah looking at the lost media wiki, I could maybe fill out some descriptions for some of the games

IIRC:
Bon Bain: Sesame Street licensed game, build a tube network with various tile, and see ernie or bernie (not sure) go through it with each unique tube tile having some sort of animation

Polux: If it's the one I think it is, it's some tile based game where you could touch a tile multiple times to uncover stuff, wall, holes, money. You had to get away from monsters

Bizbille: Multiplayer (or vs CPU? game) Multiple balls are at the top of a board and must fall to the bottom. Between each pegs is some sort of colored block preventing the balls from falling. There was some sort of dice system choosing the color, then you had to choose a block to remove I think? The one reaches the bottom first win?

There might be games and stuff missing. I recall some really fucking cool of chance (through 5-6 games) that "determined how lucky you are". I once got a perfect game of that. Pretty pointless but fun to watch

CC: @guizzy and a bunch of other people I could tag

Does anyone remember this? It was a DirecTV channel that streamed video games. I remember using this all the time as a kid even though the games were on par with Java flip-phone games. Apparently, all the games on there are currently lost.

people always complain about nfts but amiibos are literally just nft tags with a cheap figurine attached and everyone loves them

Aspect-oriented programming is probably the worst programming paradigm I've come across so far. I can't wrap my head around it and I can't find where it could be useful.

@AnarkioCrypto @xianc78 I prefer Monero acceptance would expand rather, Monero is the reason why i believe that Bitcoin's selling points have run dry.

At this point, I think Honk Konk is becoming even more fascist than CHAINA!!, and at a rapid rate too.

Honk Konk gestapo to deploy "opinion tracker" tech to curb the truth

Apparently, there are people who speedrun the Satellaview BIOS just to see how fast they can get to the error screen.

It seems a bit curious that all climate taxes / fines aimed to save the planet are going to the states and not to the "victims" of climate change. It's like the states, and the people that are paid by them, have an inherent interest in blowing up climate change. But of course, everyone should just listen to the science, because if he doesn't, he is a sinner. Amen.
