There were loads of free browser games back then

It depends, it’s certainly inaccurate to describe all F2P games as doing this. Runescape, at least back in the 2000s, was F2P or a monthly sub. That was it.

Yeah I find most MMOs are too much of a grind now. Gloria Victis is fun as the grind to level 100 can be done pretty quick, you are most of the way there and able to join in pvp within a few hours from just doing the tutorial.

Shame it shut down but looks like it’s coming back now, currently a closed test for previous owners.

I just hope I will be able to afford upgrading to something made in China.

Targeting civilians can get them to support the war a lot more because fuck that guy bombing us.

Targeting corporate assets, especially if the people generally dislike the corporations? That is far more interesting. I don’t know if there are many good examples of that. I suspect you may see an increasing hatred towards government and corporations from the people while corporations will lobby governments to do more to defend their things.

Nostalgia, then I remember all the grind involved and lose any interest in grindy MMOs…

Just give me castle wars tbh

If you dont like that you should see the titan bars I got from Aldi.

Not really sure it’s for me but I am just happy that it really annoys Nintendo

They still exist?

Oh yeah I remember that. Because of their pettiness I stopped using milk, only thing I used it for as porridge and I use water instead now. Looked it up and you get the water boiling and can cook it at a higher temperature without it burning to the pan. Ends up fairly creamy still without using cows milk. Also costs less to make.

No solids, it should be made of cocoa butter. In the shit one I had they replaced all of the cocoa butter with palm oil. Tbh I don’t think they should legally be able to call it chocolate.

Kids won’t be able to play without stealing their parents ID or pointing a camera at a low res model in a web browser

Just because some indies will make slop doesn’t mean all of them will. There will be good stuff too.

Since when did Rimworld fans want an MMO?

I recently had something sold as chocolate that contained 0% cocoa, its just a chunk of palm oil. First time I have ever had chocolate so bad I threw it in the bin. I can also taste it in Cadburys now, or they have increased their palm oil amount since I had eaten it previously.

I will be checking ingredient lists more often when buying chocolate now. If palm oil is the main ingredient it can fuck off.

Oh LLMs are great at writing HR slop

Yes, if we had documentation then I suspect AI tools could be good for finding information in that.

At my job we have been told how we have to start using AI more. I can’t really see any point. The only tasks AI can help me for are pointless tasks from HR that shouldn’t exist in the first place. Monthly forms with questions like “how are you feeling emotionally”, used to take me ages to come up with corpo bullshit friendly answers but locally hosted deepseek does it in seconds.

Does each VM need to be verified, or the hypervisor? What about docker? Does memtest need to ask for age verification?

I wonder how would be best to make games now that run easily in a browser with very low specs. I know you can just use JS straight in the browser for some types of games but it isn’t really something I have looked into much.
