Inb4 they start flagging 3D printers because you can print mags with them.

I thought by payment processor, they were talking about Visa, MasterCard, etc.

Not sure where I said natural = better. All I said was natural things are generally more studied because they existed for lot longer.

Yes, but plastic is a very new invention and a lot less studied than something like Pb or Hg, which are natural elements.

Never heard of it. Which person is Ocarina?

Also is this Ship of Harkinian?

Just like every other corporation.

Any time before 2005, when YouTube started the mass corporitization of the Internet (Web 2.0)

That sounds like it would be pretty epoch.

1980s montage music

Started playing Half Life 1. Never played any of the Half Life games before.

As for a recommendation, Chrono Trigger and the Silent Hill games (1-3, including the remake of 2).

And poor people in general.

I mean, .reg files are pretty idiot-proof, but can also contain something malicious if you don’t read them.

I’d like it better if they got a more permenant raise.

Hopefully Valve will decide to release their Ibex soon. I do like that this is a split controller, but the ergonomics don’t look great compared to the leaked Ibex image.

The “bigger systems” pre-corporate internet (and somewhat in the transition) were sometimes fairly large forums dedicated to one niche (sometimes multiple, but in the same general field). Once Reddit specifically came along after YouTube/Google laid the groundwork for the corporatization of the Internet, it centralized basically every forum to one website. Now even today, forums still exist, but it’s nowhere near what they once were.

That’s also not to mention sites like Geocities allowing basically everyone to have their own website (which of course, is another version of centralization, but with much more control given to its users).

And it’s not like corporations didn’t try to take control of the internet before 2005/2006. Just look at AOL in the 90s for a prime example, along with Flash, ActiveX/Internet Explorer, Quicktime/Realplayer browser plugins for video, etc.

Without capitalism, we would still see the internet grow, as even in the late 90s, it felt as if you were being left behind in society if you didn’t have an internet connection, but the way in which it grew would look much more akin to how it looked in the 90s and early 2000s.

The internet sure was far from perfect back then, but it was ours’.

Yes, but in order to properly learn our lesson to prevent this from happening again, we need to call out the root of the problem instead of/in addition to the tools or symptoms.

The arcade was the original version. There’s also a really good modern port on the Commodore 64 with a banging soundtrack called “Ghosts n Goblins Arcade”

They’ll probably find some way to make the process as tedious as possible and sell batteries for way more than they should.
