Loading screen for Scorched Earth. On the lelft is the game menu: Start, number of players, number of rounds, etc. On the right is the game art: A stylised generated 2D landscape with a rainbow sky and giant setting sun on the background (the landscape and sky would change with every load). The title above reads: Scorched Earth The Mother of All Games Below: Version 1.2 Copyright (c) 1991, 1992 Wendell Hicken

100% Completion of Nazi Punching Simulator
Good game! The Order of the Giants DLC felt like it was building up to something bigger and ended somewhat abruptly, but was a fun addition.

XBox, who the hell measures game time in days?

So I came up with this image first, and then realised I had just explained Luke Fartwalker and his control of the Farts.
Darth Vader reaching out his hand to Luke (off screen). Vader is saying "I am your Fartwalker"

Everybody wants to rule the world.

So I was correct. This whole thread of hateful bile was just to say "look at me" as loudly as possible.
What a lonely person.

I don't know anyone's opinion of Adobe for editing docs in particular (I personally hate it, but my skill level is fairly low).

Still, puts me in mind of...
screenshot mimicking an App Update screen. Text reads: "Your favorite tool is now ruined by AI. You might not like it but shareholders love it." the screen also has buttons for Get Started and Contact Us under the text, and a mock chatbot agent in the bottom right corner.

If you see this, quite post with a title screen that's iconic to you
Early Apogee games title screen. The screen is pixel art of the Earth against a starscape with the milky way across the top. Apogee is written on the right, with a shooting star below it and text at the bottom of the screen reading: "Apogee means action"

I made this for reasons. Those reasons being the classic Star Trekwars friendly rivalry.

An image of the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars superimposed over the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek. The Falcon is placed where the Enterprise's saucer would be so it looks like a single ship. All places over a bright field of stars in space.

A scene from Star Wars where Darth Vader has been replaced by an Arbites from Warhammer 40K. Admiral Motti is on the left, clutching at his throat and looking stressed. The Arbites is looking towards him, pointing a weapon in his direction. Grand Moff Tarkin is in the background on the right, watching with detached concern. The text reads, "If find your lack of faith... Heretical."

Lord Farquaad from Shrek. He is standing at a wall addressing an unseen crowd and flanked by two knights in armour. The text reads: Release the Epstein Files. Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

Lode Runner box art. Reads: Lode Runner An action game and game generator by Doug Smith VIC-20 Cartridge version by Mike Wise Broderbund Artwork: There is a figure swinging by his right hand along a horizontal ladder from left to right, with a satchel losing jewels and firing a gun. Red robots grab at him from below. Other robots watch from the distance Lode Runner level The level is side on, made up of a single screen of bricks with different patterns, gaps in the bricks, and ladders. Dotted around the level are a few squares indicating treasure and some guards, sometimes referred to as mad monks. At the bottom is the score, the current number of "men" or lives, and the map level.

The World's Most Interesting Man A man in a pin striped jacket, leaning on his right elbow with his hand in the air, looking directly at the camera. He has short grey hair and a well trimmed beard. The text says "I don't use AI. But if I did I would be very polite so I bankrupted the company"

Maybe because I hold onto the Xennial label, but I have long held the position that each generation ends up in a humbug state and starts bitching about whoever is younger.
The Earth, seen from space. Two astronauts are looking towards the Earth from the right, one behind the other. The astronaut on the extreme right is holding a gun to the first. The first astronaut is saying "Wait, we're just blaming our problems on whatever generation is younger?" The astronaut with the gun is saying "Always have done"

Hi BSky #TechSupport!
As you can see, it looks like most of the pixels on my monitor are not working, but after half a minute or so the screen snaps to and and functions. Has happened with two video cards.

On a scale of 0 to fucked, how repairable is this?
