Oh neat! Yup. I knew about that meme. Wild that it’s that old now.

Thanks! Informative.

Wait. Fake backgrounds?

What do you mean how?

Are you asking “how did you press the button”? Or “how does it work”?

He converted a document scanner into a black and white camera.

Why didn’t the pilots stop the engine when they saw him?

If you own an electric fan, then you know that “turning it off” doesn’t mean that its blades are going to stop immediately.

Now, imagine an airplane engine that is capable of moving a “bus full of people.”

Yes, I know engines aren’t electric fans, but you now have an idea that “just turn it off” wasn’t going to cut it.

Oh hehe! Thanks for explaining.

What’s a load zone simulator?

Lol we’ve all been there, friend!

I think you’re taking this whole thing too seriously.

People can do whatever they want for the lulz.

Just a little push from pops at the beginning.

And they didn’t say it was a long term solution. For all we know, the drive was going to be replaced the following week.

They don’t say how much the seat was being rocked.

Maybe just a couple of inches. Enough for babby to sleep.

HA!!!

No but here. And.

At this point, I know there are so, so, so, so, SO many good games out there from 1977 onwards that I can just play whenever, that I lost interest in checking out new games. Maybe for the graphics, but unless there’s a quantum leap in gaming (like, Matrix-like immersion without the dying), then I’m not interested.

And I don’t exaggerate when I say 1977. Have you played Atari 2600’s Phoenix? Shit is addictive!

Plus all the hundreds of thousands of homebrews.

So you share the sense of pride and accomplishment!

Come to think of it, starting with this post, it has already begun.

Great success!

Maybe something’s happening with the net.

Those are solar flares.
