Warhammer 40K videogames 

@Jo
That'd make an AMAZING fucking story too but gw would never risk the fans having a collective apocalyptic tantrum over "bluhbluhbluh the LORE WAAAAA"

celebrating me doing normal things 

@dragon@sleeping.town
Good for you hon!

@modernmodron (also hearing "Sorry, I guess they weren't a very good Neighbour. It's okay though. Let's wish them happiness on their path" when a cheater or abusive person gets banned from a server would be pretty great)

@modernmodron There needs to be like a Mr Rodgers style announcer voice pack for games like this tbh and they need to be enforced because imagine what good it would do to the gaming community to just... relax and not take everything so seriously and have to feel spiteful or angry at people? Imagine if they could just connect with other people and realise that you don't have to be mean and shitty to others to blow off steam, even in a violent game?

@modernmodron *executes a skillful rocketjump to gain height on an opponent then frags them and three nearby friends at once*
Announcer: "Nicely done, friend. You're doing great there."
*gets fragged in turn because they didn't check their corners*
Announcer: "Hey it's okay, you'll get it next time."

Replacing the announcer from games like unreal tournament and quake with a calm voice that tells me things like "you're valid!' and "you're living your best life, honey"

maybe it's a good lizard and a little recess on the most powerful tho

A crunchy overview of how the Nintendo Switch authenticates online functionality, detailing all the anti-piracy safeguards in place: reddit.com/r/SwitchHacks/comme

Basically, unique encrypted data is attached to each console, game card, and downloaded game in such a way that Nintendo can verify which console and which account is talking to their servers and what data it has. Consequently, it can ban any console or account that sends a game certificate it shouldn't have. It's a good read.

@kara PC/DOS at the time! Though my school ran it through windows 3.1 =w=;; because they were "clever" like that I guess?

Back in my middle school it was installed on pretty much all the RM Nimbus 386s, and after school if you were still there you could dink about on them . Cartooners became a MASSIVELY popular program amongst my school then. Like, I copied it off them when I was older (both it and its expansion, on a single floppy disk) and there were nearly a hundred damn cartoons people had made with it! It was WILD!
