also noteworthy is C&C renegade, an FPS that uses C&C elements. the multiplayer was actually really good, probably my first experience with online gaming. not the most technically impressive, but the "destroy enemy base" format was different and the vehicles and classes were really fun!

a while ago there was a sale where you could get every C&C game ever for like five bucks, so naturally I bought it and...man, these games are hard! how did I do this shit as a kid? I don't think RTS is my genre

it's so sad to see so many people on reddit using chatgpt to put together questions for asking others for advice. these people can't even do cognitive offloading on their own anymore

any culture, at any point in history, could have invented darude’s sandstorm. the fact that they didn’t is just further proof that old times were busted generally

looking hot in sweatpants is cool I guess, but even more substantial is wearing sweatpants and not caring how you look at all. straight up costanza-maxxing

it's the cheapest car you have on the lot and you told me you had a bunch of people interested in it. so why are you following up with me about it now??

Emily Darling @radicaldreamer.bsky.social · 1d

it turns out that when used car salesman take your number down when you go for a test drive, they will use that information to bother you later and ask if you are going to come back to buy the car. I don't like that!

ladies, do NOT fall for the same trick as me!!! metal gear is a single player game, there is no reason to believe you will actually be playing the video game together as she suggests

she asked me to come over to play metal gear, but it was all a ploy to show me her solid snake
