it's cute because both players play using the same DS, it's just a timing game where you each hold it, one player uses L and one uses R to hit the ball. Surprisingly good fun :D

if you're playing on an actual DS, the ping pong minigame in WarioWare Touched is silly and fun for a bit. Gotta unlock it first though and it's the only multiplayer part of that game iirc.

I actually saw a documentary about this and we're actually very attractive to aliens. I think it was called something like mess effect?

so you can paint your toenails

big seconding for the Shadowrun series, I personally say skip the first one (Shadowrun Returns) because it's short, muddled, and kind of more of a proof of concept. Shadowrun Dragonfall is my favourite single player video game of all time, and I particularly like it because of the writing. The story is quite neat, I think it does the slow dive into a conspiracy angle quite well. I thought it was really refreshing how your motivation for most of the jobs is just needing the money and doing what people ask, and several of the scenarios contained genuinely difficult moral choices rather than the usual video game fare of "do you want to kick the puppy or save the puppy" and a lot of the time when there's an obvious third option, the game will let you do it but it's gonna be a lot harder to pull off. Shadowrun Hong Kong is imo a bit more user friendly, as they tidied up the interface and added a couple of nice quality of life changes, but I prefer the writing in Dragonfall.

If newer games are okay to recommend, I've been quite enjoying the story of Scarlet Nexus, but in a very different sort of way. Every single story act has several twists in it, and just going along for the ride and seeing what levels it escalates to next has been quite fun. I'm really near the end at the moment, and boy howdy if you'd explained the story to me after I'd just started playing I would not have believed you.

Morrowind has some alright writing, the main quest is good if you really dig deep into the lore and think a lot about the narrative. I can't really recommend getting into it now unfortunately, but I can very much recommend retroactively spending hours of your childhood obsessed with it.

I'll also second Mass Effect. They're pretty dated, and I'm actually replaying them at the moment (skipped 1 because I just cannot deal with it, but the legendary edition apparently makes it more palatable). Mass Effect 3 had a moment in it that genuinely made me cry when I first played and I'm not embarrassed to say so.

thank you! it went quite well considering, some of the things I was anxious about were fine, but I'm very glad I came home when I did :)

I have been on the tumbles since like 2014 and I will continue to be on the tumbles until the day they delete the site. I like to look at pictures of ferrets there.

now that purple.com sold out, it's good to see some bastions of the internet remain!

I knew what the text body would be and was still delighted. Thanks for the post!

I'm in, provided that NFT stands for "Nutritious Fruity Thirstquencher"

I don't understand all the coding stuff but I agree with your tl;dr.

The first thing I installed was a program that overrides the start menu to make it look and work like windows 7 lol.

yeah, me too. I feel like 7 was really the best time for tech, and it felt so familiar moving from XP to 7

I would still be using 7 now if it wasn't for the fact that I had in the past week started getting random audio crashes that require a complete restart to fix, happening anywhere as frequently as every 15 minutes... new hardware just doesn't support 7 now and it's a real shame because I liked it. Thankfully the free upgrade to windows 10 legit still works, so the last time I paid for windows is still the OEM copy of 7 I got with my computer I had at 13.

do you remember when the operating system that you paid for and owned did not advertise products to you while you were trying to quietly use your computer? that is the windows 7 experience compared to the windows 10 experience.

Unfortunately fully 90% of my problem with windows 10 is that I've been using windows 7 on my home pc for coming up to a decade and a half, and I hate change. Changing to linux would also be change and therefore I would hate it. I'm sorry :(

no, I'm using modern in the colloquial sense meaning relating to the present, I am aware that this makes me a hypocrite because I have the same problem with people using the word ancient.

Life hack: celebrate new year's day on the traditional March the 25th so you have more time to drink tea :)

I don't get it but I recognise that it is a good joke, thank you for the post

I choose to believe that I knew her name was Joy and punned on it deliberately.

I don't hugely understand why they would be wanting to delay the news but I hope to dog that if and when she dies and it is announced it leads to the dissolution of the monarchy in this garbage country. Any of the possible successors are far less popular with the monarchist crowd and I hope we can leverage that into a removal.

As a tangentially related aside, I've been trying to avoid calling the so-called "royal family" by their titles, and referring to them instead by their full names like celebrities.
