You know, without Web3 NFT bullshit, there was a lost era of decentralized gaming back when it wasn't cost effective to have massive servers for users. Old games which used the host/join system. Hell, just games where one client in a LAN also acted as the server computer. I get it, it's just easier to run all your online interactions through Nintendo, but like... Those old games can still go online, whereas everything else just died. That's sad and we should make that a consideration again.

the funniest thing about Apple is the last version of MacOS features "video reactions" where if your camera sees you do a thumbs up or heart symbol with your hands, stuff happens behind you like fireworks in ANY video app you are using BY DEFAULT.

A friend was in an online therapy session, describing his trauma so the therapist asked if he was alright and he did a thumbs up and then HUGE FIREWORKS BEHIND HIS HEAD.

It's so bad that online therapy sessions now start with a warning dialog!

Second Reality by Future Crew is 30 years old ๐Ÿซ 

The most iconic MS-DOS PC demo running on Intel 486, released to the public in October 1993

youtube.com/watch?v=iw17c70uJe

Note that no video capture can actually replicate the exact experience on a real 486 PC because the demo switches video modes very often, and I think a lot of effects run at ~70fps.

i like putting on the 10 hour nature "cat tv" videos for cats whenever I've gone to feed someone's cats and about to leave and of course it's adorable to watch them watch TV but the funniest part always to me is the ads. both because it means someone out there has paid good money to have their ads played to cats (who generally are not capable of making purchases), but also because cats get visibly irritated that someone interrupted their shows
