How dare you hurt another editor’s feelings with your facts!

Oh wow, a Simpsons fact I didn’t know, yet! Thanks. All I knew was that Maude died in the season where the writing started to suck.

There’s a paragraph in the German constitution that lists all words that count as insults. German school kids have to recite the constitution once per week in school and when that paragraph comes everyone giggles.

/s I think there probably is some list of insults, though.

The memest meme post and we were not only alive at the same time as OP but we even saw it and witnessed its greatness first. Lemmy is truly amazing.

How many fingers do humans have?

Image Generation AI: yes.

Just last week I was pooping and when I was done I noticed that I didn’t pee. It was weird. So somehow it is possible but I don’t know how I did it. The mysteries of the human body.

Barf… Puke… Whatever!

Well, if it isn’t Lone Star. And his sidekick, Puke.

Mario if he was a camel.

Good examples. In general the earlier 3D games aged particularly poorly. Not only graphically but also when it comes to controls. I think around 2000 things get better, though.

I bought MDK two years after release for 10€ because the screenshots on the box looked pretty but I was super disappointed once I saw it in motion on my PC… Back in these days game graphics got better so quick, that a (originally super pretty) two year old game looked bad on my PC.

Edit: I wish that GIF would play without clicking it (Jerboa). 🤔

Edit 2: Plays fine in Sync at least…

True. However back when these games were state of the art, you somehow were able to imagine the graphics to be better than what was actually on screen. At least that’s how it felt to me (played my first games in the early 90s).

Yeah, that botheres me, too. Also when a game is labeled to have “psx graphics” and it just means that they use low res textures without filtering but at the same time it has real time shadows, requires 4GB VRAM and uses bunch of other modern techniques.
