I’m Portuguese we don’t use many acronyms, but we have shorter versions of words with the vowels removed or things like that. When people tried to use acronyms we ended up with “fds” which some people read as weekend, others read as “fuck it”. The only other acronyms I can think of right now are all for offenses such as fdp (son of a bitch) and cdf (“ass of iron”, very old term for calling someone a nerd).

There was something in that game that made it insufferable to me, but I don’t remember what it was. Everytime I picked it up I would play for 5 or 10 minutes and put it down again, until I eventually quit it.

Nah, I’ve lost it 25 years ago and never really missed it. On contrary, in the rare instances in which I was able to smell something since, it’s always been something I would rather not.

Skype for business barely had anything to do with Skype tho, other than the name.

If they bought the domains and fired the people it should be easy for someone else to start a new site using the available talent pool to quickly become a relevant name as well.

Me personally, I strongly dislike IGN because (other than all the common reasons) they force me to access a poorly translated version of their content when I’m perfectly capable of reading their originals in English, so even if they have an article I’m interested on, I can’t easily access any decent version of it because or my geographic location.

The loopholes were pulled throughout history so people don’t remember the old ways after a couple generation and stop asking why things are changing. If the church kept telling people to fast for 40 days they would have lost a lot more believers way sooner.

Sending an SMS as an operation is just as expensive as checking for signal. Which every phone is constantly doing.

Yep, though the combat is very hard to get used to early and it may feel to hard - only to feel too easy once you master it.

Not to mention the album cover with an asshole on it.

I never associated it with the people pleasing aspect of my life, but it took me 35 years to finally enjoy one song by myself, to the point I actually didn’t mind just listening to it without doing anything else at the same time.

I deleted all my comments last year. Recently I got a notification for a response in one of such comments. When I clicked the notification link, my comment and the response were visible. The comment doesn’t show up in my profile.

I started cycling on the wrong side of the road because I can be responsible for my own safety that way. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been endangered by some driver acting like I wasn’t on the road at all while going on the right side.

And I forgot to save it every time it showed up. Now I have this one saved only.

Edit: nevermind, the other was right under this in the timeline

I assume my problem is my geographic location.

Dang you had to remind me about that game. I had been missing wii sports for years and was hyped for the switch game when it was announced. Played the test days and it was fantastic, then it was released and I never managed to play with another human, ever. I would be fine with playing with bots only as well, but every time I tried to play I had to wait for several minutes while it tried to find someone for me to play with until a timeout was reached and a game started. I quickly grew tired of the wait and abandoned the game.

I guess that will be everybody’s experience once the game loses connectivity.

The trailer looked uninteresting so I didn’t try it.

I’m pretty happy with my edge 20, after going through a bunch of other brands in the past years. Any other brand I suspect may be better than Motorola is just not available anywhere near me.

And there’s a ton of articles here with very misleading titles, specially on technology communities. At some point I noticed three large threads in a row where the article title claimed one thing but even the article itself was about something completely different.

Tbf as long as it doesn’t go public it will probably be fine regardless of who takes the job. It doesn’t take a genius to keep up the good work in a company that can afford to plan long time.

I need to be thankful that those bar games were hard from the beginning and had me killed within seconds whenever I tried them, so I never got addicted to them. If those games had used modern user-retention tactics back then I would’ve spent a ton of coins in my life.
