remember when google used to return what you actually searched for instead of converting every word to the closest SEO-bait synonym and then returning 200 aliexpress links so you can buy a fake version of the thing you didn't actually search for?

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:just loled thinking about "audio CD-Rs". they actually were different somehow They were normal CD-Rs that failed the quality control for data. Why throw away a bad batch when you can mark them as "For Audio Only" and sell them for the same price as good discs.

Zlodo posted:my guess is that they had lots of customers with lovely old computers and didn't want to have to refund games all the time when people found out they couldn't use them they were probably still selling CD-only computers. in 2004 you could walk into a supermarket and come out with a pentium 3 celeron with 128mb and one of those gimped no-name motherboards with half the connectors not installed. wouldn't surprise me if they had a CD-R drive too Sweevo fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Mar 19, 2020 |

around 1998/99 there was a kid who had every single nes/snes/master system/megadrive/n64 rom spread out over dozens of free hosting sites, all fully indexed, searchable, and downloadable with one click. then one day it all disappeared and was replaced with his lovely personal homepage - just a small photo of the kid, a list of bands he liked, and an invitation to sign his guestbook. within 24 hours the guestbook was 200 pages long and every post was an expletive/slur/threat filled all-caps rant about WHERE ARE THE loving ROMS YOU LITTLE F*G? PUT THE loving ROMS BACK YOU PATHETIC LITTLE gently caress OR I'M GOING TO FIND YOU AND CUT YOU. I AM MAFIA SO BELIEVE ME I WILL DO IT!

carry on then posted:hell, that entire last year or so of windows xp's life where people were cramming in features from actual modern operating systems with stuff like yahoo widgets, windows desktop search, google desktop, etc. when XP support finally ended there was a guy in shsc who was absolutely convinced you could carry on getting new updates by paying MS about $100/yr - not understanding that it only applied if you were the size of IBM or a national government and paid $100 per machine (minimum 10,000 machines, price will double every year, etc...)

Volmarias posted:What is this quote:We understand this is something that has never been done but in 1492 Christopher Columbus went out into the sea and everybody told him he was going to fall off the end of the world but with his risk and passion we now know the earth is round and without his will and guts we would not be where we are today. The point i am trying to make nothing is risk free 16 years ago there was no internet but one man changed that. HEDY LAMARR was a actresses in the 1930's she came up with guided torpedoes for world war 2 she called and called the US army, government but no one listened because she was beauty and she was a actresses. My point is no one can understand vision if it was the 1930's are 1492 would kickstarter be a place to support like Hedy Lamarr and Christopher Columbus.

ok i thought people might have remembered this one. several years ago a guy tried to get his game idea kickstarted. the game was called 'Lore' and it was the usual amateurish "I am making the greatest game ever, it will be a mix of <list every then-popular AAA game>, blah blah blah" from someone who couldn't complete a Game Maker tutorial. kickstarter/indiegogo is full of that stuff, but this one was so bad it got picked up and reported in the mainstream press. so the guy starts posting his concept art and people figure out that it's all plagiarised - his signature enemy the 'manandtaur' is a stolen minotaur image with the forehead replaced with a screaming face lifted from some old game box art, his random mishmash of assets and models are all from free 3D modelling websites or are tutorial projects that come with 3d modelling software. he has a giant ego, can't understand copyright, can barely string a sentence together, doubles down on lying about where he got the images, etc. eventually he is told to draw something himself and post it and he posts Matador Skeletor and half a Manandtaur (because drawing is hard and he thinks he can mirror it to make the finished version). people laugh at him and he claims the images are fine and only look dumb because his scanner broke and the camera loses all the fine details. then as with all these things people start touching the poop and going through his facebook account and stirring up poo poo everywhere and he has a meltdown and disappears.
