  • You rocked Contra without the Konami code?

    Playthrough or it didn’t happen.

    Dude, the 90’s was mostly couch co-op. I don’t believe this post.

    Even on my third play through of Fallout 1, my friends knew I was cheating, but I was doing so as I wanted to know every quest.

    PVP cheating is shit, but there was barely PVP in the 90’s.

    Sorry, but as a 90’s kid, nobody was talking any shit unless they were being a braggart about beating something like Contra or Gradius III using the Konami code.

    And being cheap in Street Fighter II only led to combo systems that you see in every fighting game today.

    So what examples are you actually giving with “cheating” in the 90’s?







  • The cook should be represented as the database.

    Back in the 80’s, my brother “hacked” a pizza place because he knew how they wrote green olives and black olives on their ticket. He dated a girl who worked there for a stint.

    I don’t remember how it worked and he has since passed, but it was something with the order that he would list the toppings that would fuck up the cook, so the order always came out wrong and boom! Free pizza.

    Doom. Meh. Pointless. Not practical.

    Now, running Doom from a database and acheiving 30 fps, now that’s impressive. Installing linux on your car’s computer, very impressive. Doom on your car’s computer?

    Well good job lowering the resale value. I pray they got the bluetooth and GPS to work.

    How are you this daft that I have to spend a week to explain my point?

    It isn’t like it makes me cool. I was talking about how I enjoy making shit.

    And I don’t fucking care about downvotes. I can’t cash in internet points. God, the voting system which Reddit and Digg used was supposed to be for relevancy, not about if you agreed or not.

    I don’t know you, and outside of the respect of general life, I don’t give a fuck what some random person on the internet thinks of me. In fact, I don’t want you to know me.

    However, if you met me, you would get a solid realization that text is a terrible form of communication.

    You cannot see the tone of my voice. You cannot hear the look on my face. You cannot feel my energy without a handshake.

    I don’t like toxicity over the fact that all I said was it isn’t practical to install Doom on your car.

    But you can hate me all you want. Don’t know why you specifically just want to rage on the internet as if this means a single thing to your life.

    The newspaper will come out after I am dead and I will not be mentioned.

    We have 8 billion people on this planet who want to judge me, so I won’t bother with doing your “job”.

    But I think if you did know me, you might be kinder and recognize I am not an asshole.

    I am a prick, and that is fair. Assholes get fucked. So… get fucked. I have to go to work.

    And an mp3 player, where you start with a personally designed pcb, solder on the components, design the core logic, write the code, attach an LCD, and print an enclosure. Meh? You build one.

    You’re so meh, I bet you think this comment is about you. You’re so meh! Don’t you, don’t you, dooon’t you!



  • Why are people just being assholes? I thought we were talking about computers?

    So which is it:

    Am I a prick because I said that they loaded Linux onto a car’s computer and they installed Doom, which is impractical, but certainly a cool feat to get Linux on there.

    But Doom? You can’t shoot imps while you are driving.

    You’re rocking a 5090? You doing video work? Mining?

    I know it isn’t. But it is a necessary step. And you should know that as well.

    The cool part is that they figured out how to interface with it.

    Why is everyone just trying to be the bigger asshole? Are you just begging for it because you think I am the biggest prick?

    You can run Doom on a fridge. I am not saying the feat isn’t admirable. I bet it was tough to get Doom to run on a C64. That’s very cool, as is the achievement that this post is about.

    I don’t understand the itch in your ass.
