This doesn’t even faintly resemble German, so I doubt that.

So good job by the dutch?

Yes, if this was Dutch. It isn’t though, looks like Afrikaans to me.

I disagree, there is also Fraternité in America. If you are rich and white enough for a gated community. Don’t expect Egalité though, the Karen (M/F, don’t expect any other genders to be allowed) in charge of the HOA won’t stand for that.

I tried returning to WoW (Classic) after a 10 year absence, thought I’d try tanking for a change instead of healing. Deadmines, what could go wrong?

Well, one mage managed to not only constantly draw agro from me, he also bumbled into the next group of mobs while the rest was still regaining mana again and again. Looted the box that starts that boss fight with a Tauren while the rest was not ready and wiping the party as a result. After that we all concluded that pressing on wasn’t going to work. Fucking hell, never gotten such a toxic shit load of crap in my chat ever before, he sent me a book’s worth of profanities all because “I sucked at tanking” according to him. Decided then and there that this was not the way how I wanted to spend my free time. When I quit WoW I already noticed that the social aspect was going down the drain, apparently it hasn’t gotten any better during my absence.

Thanks, I know my way around the high seas should the need arise. But I can’t play every game out there anyway, so as long as I can get my gaming needs satisfied through non-shittified legal means I prefer that.

Well, another game I won’t be playing in that case. Fortunately my backlog is large enough to keep me busy for the next couple of years, so I feel no need to play every new title. But still: my wallet thanks Sony for making the choice for me.

Definitely freeze dried astronaut food.

They took ‘woensdag gehaktdag’ (Wednesday Minced Meat day) a bit too literal. ☹️

The true question would be: “how can your son best serve the company”? He has more years ahead of him that can be spent in servitude than you, so you are already obsolete.

So you think the staff has some sort of plot…

But it gave you lemon-lime?

I felt utterly ashamed when I had that same thought, before noticing who really was depicted. Good to know I won’t have the bear that shame alone. 😅

Well, that’s gonna cost me a day to get “Self control” and “Crockett’s Theme” out of my head again. 😄

Sorry, the bomb was running MacOS. Your command was not valid and you’ve doomed us all.

The early Lenovo period W series were (imho) very good as well, still have my W500 series which is built like a tank. Survived years of college, years of lugging it around to customers and data centres and having somebody spill a full cup of coffee over it (yes, the drain holes do work!). It only required replacing of the monitor cable once, which was a pretty easy thing to do. Unfortunately the CCFL backlight has lost quite some luminance by now, but guess after 16 years that is to be expected. Can’t get myself to part from it though, so many memories attached to it.

Nah, I’m also fine with it. Fingerprint sensors hate me anyway, on every phone I owned I needed to rescan my prints every few weeks or so because they just won’t recognise me after a while. These days I just use passwords and pin codes.

Sony forced the studio behind Helldivers 2 to make a PSN account obligatory after the game launched. That’s a pretty crappy move because PSN is not available in roughly 120 177 countries, so if you live in one of those you can suddenly not play your game anymore. And Sony hasn’t got the best reputation when it comes to securing and selling their user’s data, so players are pretty upset and vocal about this.

But I would say that present day Sony’s dick moves do not really fit in a topic about PS2 nostalgia.

Yeah, but who would want to wear plutonium rings or necklaces?🤔

I most certainly would if I owned a nuclear reactor.
