I definitely have not, and now I have. I’m unsure if I should thank you for this or not.
I feel like it takes the sport out of it if the fish is dead though. The whole sport of the carp throwing is that a carp absolutely can kick a grown man’s ass and flop to freedom if he isn’t careful. You leave a carp alone long enough and those things turn into damn near coelacanths. They’ll eat your dog. Manhandling one of those suckers into a parabolic arc is going to take skill, strength, planning, and luck.

I would watch carp throwing as a competitive sport, they aren’t going to make it easy

Some of this is the reason why your teleporter has an operator and isn’t automated. The teleporter knows you’re wearing shoes or skis because the operator has specified your parameters. The computer might not know where shoes end and floor begins but O’Brien does.

Man, I managed to completely forget about that. My dad was really, really into that game. Like, that’s about all he did for most of 4 years and ended up leaving my mom for someone he met in game.
I guess SL wasn’t really any worse about that than any other game, plenty of people meet and get married in MMOs, but I think the raging custom-content sex parties in SL probably didn’t help matters at the time.
Wonder how that game is doing these days. Cursory web search says it’s still alive. I probably would have found it to be pretty interesting if I wasn’t so turned away from it by my family experience.

This explains a lot about Elden Ring, and I wish it didn’t.

On machines that were actually strong enough to run it, it was mostly fine. I played on PC and while I admit the later balancing update was probably necessary, I didn’t run into most of the real nasty bugs people liked to talk about. I had a great time putting in 100 or so hours in version 1.
A solid 80% or more of all the problems Cyberpunk had at launch stemmed from trying to launch it on last-gen consoles. It absolutely was not intended for PS4 or XB1 and targeting those platforms was a mistake. Once they pulled availability for those and buckled down on getting it prettied up for next gen, the quality jumped by a mile within the next year and a half of updates.
The launch was rough, I grant you that, and maybe I’m just simping for CDPR but even at the time I was in the vocal minority saying, hey this game really isn’t that bad if you give it a chance and run it on hardware that it was intended for.
And of course now with its updates and DLC it’s just genuinely a great game.

Get a good CRT filter set up and it’s just
But actually though, all the SNES graphics were designed for CRT screens and universally look a bit ass on modern displays. A proper CRT TV is hard to get these days but display filters for emulators have come a long way.
- Comment on If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump? 2 weeks ago:
Did you miss the two separate articles in which he’s on tape calling the representatives of Georgia and threatening them to “find” more votes?

Yes. Yes we are. On account of the massive amount of fraud that’s been coming out of his corner for 8 years and counting.
That Trump is committing voter fraud is a given guarantee, whether it lets him win or not is what’s up in question.

Oh sure, but the rumors of the Bale Eye existed before the implant did. That thing is only about as strong as a laspistol. Sure it’ll burn a hole through your trousers but it’s isn’t about to explode a charging Ork into bloody chunks. All that power comes from the gestalt field, presumably.
