Age of Empires 2 and the expansion pack don’t require internet either in the original CD release. The games had LAN/Direct IP Support, but matchmaking was handled externally by a web browser based lobby system known as MSN Zone, and then people used GameRanger when that shut down until the remaster happened with the Forgotten Empires team.

Listen Dadeo, that was traumatizing in a way I’m not going to explain for comedic effect. There’s only one thing I can do now…

I know it’s a much older car for the example but same idea:

My late grandfather liked to restore Model T and Model A cars. One day he got T-Boned in an intersection by my house at 70 km/hr driving a Model A and Grandma was with him.

The 2005 era van that hit him was a wreck with the front smashed in. The driver was uninjured.

The Model A had a slightly bent fender front-right side and a minor paint scuff. My Grandparents went into the back of an Ambulance.

They survived but had raccoon eyes and were more bruises than healthy flesh for awhile.

Startech hasn’t done me wrong yet.

My learning about a game for the first time from the shut down announcement is becoming a trend!

13th amendment and a history of black slaves. Not just crack either. Not complicated: Nixon. His domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman admitted in an interview that the Nixon administration’s “War on Drugs” was designed to target Black communities and anti-war activists.

Here’s the famous quote:

We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Black people with heroin, then, by criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.

Wow it’s so surprising such a country would devolve further, nobody saw it coming /s.

Unless it’s for gaming, I don’t upgrade anything for no reason. My parents maybe take that to the extreme with core2duo era laptops but they’re even worse with cut down Pentium D chips.

But all they use their laptops for is email and web browsing. So, still just fine. I did upgrade them from laptop hard drive to SSD a few years back and put Debian on there instead of Windows 11.

I watched some more recent vids since the game is going pay to play soon and yeah it’s noble though compared to Roblox. You can even sell games made in S&Box standalone without paying Facepunch any royalties.

Maybe not but your comment fucking was lmao

Okay that makes more sense thanks for the explanation. Copyright of course isn’t something I defend either so that wasn’t my worry just the corporate stuff.

Pro self hosted AI or do the anarchists support corporate server farms?

Depends I guess if you view UNICOR as private or not since it’s government owned. We call them crown corporations in Canada.

Unless this was a case of USA defaultism, slavery still exists. In fact there’s more slaves today than ever before. 50 million slaves last I checked. Mostly because overall human population has obviously increased drastically too but I digress.

Also USA constitution exempts prisoners so still okay in a limited capacity.

What makes you think so? I don’t know about Charlie Kirk in such high detail besides the surface level human garbage stuff and that a lot of nazi podcast bros got caught taking Pooty rubles awhile back.

They really want it to not be a groyper who shot him huh lol.

Being freeware helps, I like to join bar maps and just talk to randos sometimes but right now it’s all about the Fish! map. It’s basically VR Webfishing.

Yesterday but my closest friend lives in my house lol. I’d be fucked without him around. The friend group I had basically imploded in my mid 30’s.

Hopefully their team effort with Qwant to build their own search engine is finished soon.

I want them to at least wait for these next gen consoles to drop because I think a lot of people are still in denial.

A modern attempt at a Garry’s Mod sequel by the same developer, basically.
