When someone says, "Socialists are being elected in our country!"

Remind folks of this fact:
The US is the largest socialist country worldwide. We spend massive amounts a year on socialist projects, such as the military. All Republicans, Democrats, and Moderates voted for these socialist projects.

Under the first amendment, we have been deprived of our right to listen to Jimmy Kimmel. Disney has denied us that right.

I call on all states to sue Disney for $1 for each person deprived illegally.

I'm watching it over again for the third time. Dr. Flocks episodes are my favorites. Such a good actor.

There's a lot of dumb stuff on streaming services.

1) No search bar on Disney+, until you click search.

You should always put up a search bar. Nobody is there for your "top movies".

2) Always remember where you left off on a show.

You do not remember what the last second was you were watching.

Well, at least he owns the rights to the Amber series (for the past few years). He could focus on that. I asked his agent if I could join, but he said, "No." Bastard.

Could always interview me for fun.

I gave you a follow on Youtube. Do the same and I've got your back. :)

Feeling down? Pick yourself up. Feel the day. Grab ahold of yourself and say "Not today!" Dance to a song. Be that person you wanted to be. You're lovely.

Woke up. Watching Independence Day. It's aged okay.

Yup. Had one of those. I kept a roll of electrical tape to cover them up on my desk, after writing some sweet code. I ran an RPG BBS on my Apple //e (300 baud modem).

Some cassette tapes could store up to two megabytes of data. :)

But have you used this to load games...

29.06.2025 17:51 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Used one for my Atari 5200, Apple //e, and other devices. I actually bought it at K-Mart. They had a huge computer selection back then (although there was a Radio Shack in the same strip mall). I'm pretty sure I used it on a Coco, TI, Intellivision, Commodore... as well.

I once was lost in Brooklyn. I'd been out with a bunch of friends. Three ladies walked up and one took notice. Whoever she was, I just remember she looked like an angel. Her other two friends didn't want to help me. She did. I got home safely. Whoever that was, you were my savior.

It's hard to not vote a lot of Terry's movies as excellent. Although, 12 Monkeys was better in my opinion. I was citing Next as a little more inspirational.

Next (2007) Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore, and Jessica Biel in Next (2007)

I like better plot twists with time travel. How about a movie where you can see the future?

In 2004, Muhammad Ali made fun of me at E3. I was there to check out our EA booth. I got to meet him briefly. He put up his fists, called me out, and started dancing as if he wanted to fight me.

Close to that... There are visible cues in Half-Life 1 that you could click on for commentary.

Nice! I started game coding in the mid 80's. Some of the oldest multiplayer games on the internet have code I wrote. :)

That's called a post-mortem. Sometimes we publish them and sometimes we don't. In some cases, games have a reel where things are labeled and the team talks about their decisions. I believe a few shooters have done this (such as Half-Life). I do know the Steam engine used to have a nice demo.

My friends wanted to dance at a gay bar. I sat down at the bar, took their purses, and they went off to dance. I ordered a beer and turned to watch them dance. Someone behind me pinched my ass. I laughed and turned to them and said, "I'm here for the women." (Also, I'm a horrible dancer.)

I've done world building on many AAA MMO's. The first was Ultima Online at 4096x4096. Star Wars: Galaxies had multiple planets and used procedural generation as its basis. Pretty neat stuff! :)

The artwork is pretty good. I have all the cards. I think I'm the only one in the US to have a set.

Ultima Online had a trading card game. I worked on Ultima Online. The main office in Tokyo sent me a full set of cards. I haven't seen any for sale here in the United States, so I was hoping you would know. Thank you for replying!
