OKAY OMG TRUE I’M SO MAD ABOUT IT. I’M PRETTY SURE I GOT IT FOR FREE ON REDDIT SOMEHOW, I USED IT FOR YEARS AND THEN THEY AXED ME

Check out frog fractions!

This is literally me, except I never seem to get burnt out, I must consume all the knowledge in the universe

I’m glad I’m not the only one who played Roblox growing up… But like over a decade ago. Weird to see it still around.

Random memories:

• couldn’t figure out how to drive vehicles (equip the drive tool and press T or something)

• there used to be a FREE currency called TIX that they gutted

• the old sound effects

• the old forcefield effect

• killing yourself precisely so that your head bounced onto the obby’s next spawn point skipping the obstacle

-games were so much less commercialized, but they were also for the most part games made by other kids, they lacked the labor required to make a GAME game, but had charm. The fun games were FUN, and all they really offered in terms of monetization were VIP t shirts

• desert Base Battle, ultimate paintball, ultimate build, sword fight on the heights, galleons, work at Pizza place, disaster survival

• mashing yourself under geometry only slightly higher than you are, and then holding spacebar until you jump so hard your character model shoots out at a random tangent at Mach speed

• calling my friend to play, using the wireless house phone, holding it against my ear with my shoulder for hours until I got cramps

• constant status bars at the bottom from scripts included in free models “the maker of this place would like to thank xyzname for using their models!”

• magic path tools, rocket launchers, slingshots, bombs, swords

• Roblox is the reason I’m a programmer today, I was diving into LUA when I was a kid

Same

The marathon story is so good

Right I understand that, but I’m saying we need to NOT be doxing either of these people. We really don’t need to stress this poor innocent woman out by getting involved

Yeahhhh and see that’s when we need to stop and chill. Give this woman her privacy for the love of God

They’d lose their moat overnight, not gonna happen

I have like 11…

That idea has been thrown around A LOT.

I don’t think it’ll ever happen tbh

They’re not. I will probably die in a failed state

For real. Get me out of here man I don’t wanna die in a failed state

We already have a few “microcode” jailbreaks

I love the fediverse chick

That’s still pretty cool though right?

Also maybe try not to harass them about which instance they choose to join (unless it’s a tanky one lmao), just try to educate them if the subject comes up. I think it’s overwhelming to jump right away into “this instance has this problem, you should move to this other one”

I say this still not having moved from Lemmy.world

Welcome!

Good job! That’s something to be proud of

Yeah who gives a shit, way way way bigger issues to focus on
