I also never heard anyone say „I marioed that“ or „I minecrafted that“. It’s also a completely different game. So not sure where you’re going with this comparison.
Norsemen was a great series but I understand why people didn’t get into it or even tried it. The humor is very special and maybe takes a little time to settle. It all feels like the cast didn’t know what’s going on and was making it up on the go, which is part of the fun.
Another one: Minesweeper. I feel like most people never understood how this game even works and just clicked randomly until something exploded. It’s actually purely logical! In the classic Windows version there is unfortunately always a high chance to encounter fields that can’t be solved by logic. This is what Mineswifter solves. If you want something more complex, there is the Hexcells series. Get the last one, Infinite, as it has a puzzle generator integrated.
Our Flag means Death was so good! It is a tragedy that it was canceled. Taika had one more season planned and it was very popular. Seems like the higher ups didn’t like that it was too woke.
I used to work as an intern in a PC repair shop and we had a guy come in saying his new self build computer doesn’t work. Turns out he cut a huge part off the mainboard so it fits into the case.
But I was half joking. It reminded me of our (Germany) current chancellor Merz who proposes to increase productivity by making us work more hours, saying we are all too lazy.
It's the same with any device, smart or dumb, if you don't do your research, they will sell you shit products. This is how these false narratives spread that smart homes are unreliable and stop working when the internet is gone. It's only the shitty ones that do.
Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace
Some of the others are 90% there on quality, which is enough for me to ditch Lego. I can’t accept their insane pricing anymore and the color consistency is also getting worse.
If you mean flying cars that will replace regular cars, I don't think anyone ever tried it really. There have been prototype cars with wings but no one took that seriously. More recently what everyone keeps trying is drones as taxis but I hope that fails because I don't want that noise pollution.
On iOS I have no problem paying 20 euros once or 10 per year for an app I like. Sometimes more if it's really useful and/or the desktop app is included. Monthly is a harder sell though.
I payed 7 euros for Collections Database and goddamn I wish it had cost more or the developer would add a tip jar.
I was never into speedrunning anything. My father is crazy fast with Hexcells though. He bought a new mouse just for this game!
