NT was a fully seperate product from 95 and 98, using a different kernel. 95 -> 98 -> Me was the old kernel, NT -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10 -> 11 is the other line. Me was a play on Millenium Edition, so that line was just numbered by year. The NT series names are a bit wonky, though. The reason for skipping 9 involves legacy program support and bad coding practices from ye olde programmers. 7 was kind of an arbitrary number to begin with, though.

I wouldn’t say startrek.website is a major instance anymore. A lot of their usebase migrated to .world’s Ten Forward community.

Honestly, the mouse charger screams marketing or management. Apple’s brand is partially form over function.

Ah, but you forget, the sweater makes them look hella cute. Just think of all the dates they will score!

They’re on .world, which defederated ages ago.

I’ve seen ones modded into a laptop form factor. Does that not count?

Have you tried a shirt with, “You’re the bomb!” on it?

Most railings I’ve seen really need to be higher. If the top isn’t higher than your center of gravity, there’s very little preventing you from going over.

Kirk mostly used seduction as a tool; he fucked women because it was expedient. Riker did it just because he could.

The puddle has an interesting flavor.

People have argued nobody would buy AAA if it’s not an open world with XP, skills and crafting.

See, I hate crafting systems. A game advertising its crafting system makes me less interested. Too many things to remember and the game grinds to a halt for several minutes while I navigate menus. Dragon Age Inquisition was particularly bad with entire sessions lost to inventory management. The Horizon games are bearable just because I can generate pointers to the stuff I need and I’m generally swimming in components anyway.

I’m the opposite. I prefer the fem VA, but I like Panam just a bit more than Judy.

Probably wasn’t even coded in assembly.

Unless it’s a 24 hour clock.

Says he’s a rescue. I’m assuming the person who sent him to fat camp isn’t the person who let him become obese.

The ‘printer of fire’ error used to be a legitimate and important concern. Ye olde printers really could light their paper on fire under certain circumstances and they would typically be huge devices in dedicated rooms rather than something right next to your system. Letting people know to check on it when specific things went wrong probably saved a few buildings from burning down with people in them.

The pro upped the storage to 2TB, but I really feel like when the PS5 launched we were at the point where they should have shipped with 4TB drives.

I first saw this on the ml equivalent community and a decent chunk of comments were pretty unhinged.

If there is a commercial failure of an IP, there is a good chance that its failure will be seen as the IP generally failing or falling out of poluarity instead of the failure to best utilize the IP that likely occurred.

For example, when EA released Tiberian Twilight and it was absolutely awful and didn’t sell, they said that people just didn’t want RTS games anymore and shelved the entire C&C franchise. That was fourteen years ago and we haven’t had a new C&C since then that wasn’t mobile shovelware.

I used a Steam Controller for the N64 stuff. The right pad worked great for the C buttons.
