This is a pretty useful tool if you’re not far off your gsync frame rate and you’re on an older card, though if you push it too far it gets a bit acid trippy

Mouldy yoghurt

This was something like 16-17 years ago now so it’s clearly left a mark

It was about 2-3am, I lived on the ground floor of a student house and I wanted a snack. Remembering I had bought some yoghurts a day or two before I figured that’s what I was going for.

Now I’m not really sure what happened, if I picked up an old one I’d not noticed or it was just bad from the shop, but it didn’t notice until after I’d taken the first mouthful.

Needless to say it tasted genuinely awful and put me off yoghurt in general for a good while

PS1 or Gameboy

Probably because they were the ones I had as a kid, but they both have great libraries of games from an era when it seemed like anything goes. Also the hardware limitations of each give the games a charming character

I feel like that’s psychological torture

10 mins to get to a title screen sounds like a red flag without having actually played it myself

Assuming you’re playing on PC, have you got it installed on an SSD rather than an HDD? Some games really don’t like being run from an HDD these days

A big part of why many of the things in this thread haven’t aged well, is because a lot of what made these shows original and unique was copied to death following the fame of the original.

If you weren’t there for the original release of a piece of media, there’s a good chance you’re not necessarily seeing it in the context where the accolades make sense.

Seinfeld basically invented the 3 camera sitcom and a lot of the key tropes in the format. If you go back today having not watched it before, the vast majority of it just comes across as a boring sitcom, because every sitcom to follow took notes from the way they did Seinfeld.

It’s the same with the UK office, it basically invented the modern mockumentary format as well as the cringe comedy era that followed (and gave us things like peep show). If you look back now without that context, it just looks like a generic combination of both those things.

GitHub has been around for nearly 2 decades and was largely considered a mostly good thing until maybe the past couple of years. Also important to add that Microsoft seems to mostly have left it alone for the first couple of years (possibly with the exception of Atom, which it left very alone)

In addition to people just generally being slow to change, changing can take quite a bit of effort for some projects for varying reasons. Many of those same projects struggle to keep up with the maintenance workload, so they’re not going to jump at the chance to add more work to their plates.

Finally, some people just don’t care. For instance, the MIT license being popular is pretty hard evidence that FOSS doesn’t necessarily mean anti-corporate, and for many users GitHub still more or less does what it says on the tin.

Though I will say if the service disruptions and ad-injection bullshit continue you’ll only see GitHub competitors grow. GitLab seems to be going after their enterprise customers with some success.
