I don’t think you need to hide your IP address, but if you really want to I guess you could try I2P.

Point-and-click adventure games can be played with just the mouse. Full Throttle is about bikers.

Yeah, that guy was really ahead of his time.

The 90s had so many great cartoons: Ren & Stimpy, Powerpuff Girls, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, Dexter’s Laboratory, Simpsons, Duckman, Dr. Katz Professional Therapist, Eek! The Cat, Animaniacs, I Am Weasel, Beavis and Butt-Head

I do, but (in my client) messages are still displayed if I report them. That’s why in this case I also needed to block the user.

I’m not sure what the connection is between rotten.com and the CIA and what that says about me as a person, but maybe I’m just too far gone to understand.

The only person I’ve (reported and) blocked was posting csam.

rotten.com/library contained articles with text and images, not videos of people dying. The point was to inform, not to shock. It was pretty different from the rest of the website.

If by “more CIA shit” you mean critical of AES, then yes.

Rotten.com was known for horrible pictures of gore and whatnot, but also contained a collection of interesting, weird and insightful articles at /library. That site is gone now, but the article have been preserved at https://rottenlibrary.net/

Be supportive and openminded, even if their interests or choices might be a little unconventional. Establish clear rules and boundaries, but try to give them as much freedom as they can handle. Life with you doesn’t have to be a party 24/7, but make sure they always feel safe and loved. Teach them how to think, not what to think.

I’m not a big fan of the Gnome DE myself, but I hear it’s the best choice for tablets and touch screens. Perhaps you could try a distribution that uses Gnome by default like Fedora or Ubuntu (or you could try installing Gnome on another distro).

Yeah, ideally the Mint installer or Driver Manager or whatever would be smart enough to tell you “some of your hardware is not supported by the default kernel, click here to install a kernel that will support your hardware”. This is definitely a shortcoming in Linux Mint.

On the other hand, it is worth noting that it is possible to get Mint running right on most hardware without touching a terminal.

Personally I’d recommend a beginner try running Mint or another stable distribution with a newer kernel before trying some sort of cutting edge rolling release, which might be buggy. But that’s just, like, my opinion, man.

It’s possible to install a newer kernel in Mint using the Update Manager. This might have solved your hardware issues. Admittedly, though, this option is not very easy to find if you’re not aware of it.

Lua is a pretty popular language in game development, because it’s easy to embed in a program, performs well and is easy to learn. One fun way to learn Lua could be to make some simple 2D games using LÖVE. That’s what was used to create Balatro.

Me and my brother combined our money to buy Cyberia (1994). This was a fmv (full motion video) game, which still seemed like a pretty cool concept at the time. We bought it because we were really impressed with the demo, which came on a CD-ROM that was bundled with PC Gamer or some other magazine.

The demo was a section of the game where you were flying around in some sort of aeroplane. The only thing you controlled was the gun. The enemies were superimposed on top of the video, which was fixed.

I enjoyed the flying sections in the full game, but there were also parts where you controlled the main character on the ground. You could only move him between fixed positions and postures, because fmv. In some places you had to shoot enemies, which required very precise timing. This was too hard for me at the time.

I think I kind of regretted spending my money on it at the time, but only a little.

You could try contacting your country’s embassy over there and ask if there is anything they can do or whether they can offer any advice.

When brain-computer interfaces are perfected our minds will be networked with computers and each other. The concept of privacy will seem very quaint to or children’s children.

Resistance is futile.

What real British horror looks like.

Fair enough, but what is the least useful fact you know?
