Copilot probably won’t let you

I frankly don’t remember whether the dialpads had letters in Brazil, possibly didn’t; but I do remember that no number ever advertised like that mix, it was always the whole number

Which I found amazing, and always wondered how they had that information in the era before Gamefaqs.

What game was that, by the way? Because I immediately think every hotline worked the same: company makes one or two parts stupidly difficult to get through just so a few will end up calling. Sierra On-line’s adventure games were notorious for their pants-on-head logic and hidden shit.

Not as good an edit, but I think the text boxes are important 😁

Gotta remember that home computers weren’t “popular” back then either (it was easier for a household to have no computer than to have any), so anything on the internet would be the equivalent of browsing freenet, gemini or i2p today

I also went with magazines or small “cheats only” booklets, since they cost about 3 minutes of a hotline call, hoping it’d have the cheats for the games I wanted. Sometimes it did, sometimes it didn’t. Then there were the cheats that just didn’t work

One of the reasons I was always confused was because of that, with old cell phones, typing “S” for an SMS would be the equivalent of 7777. With that logic, TIPS would become 8 444 7 7777, a whole ass phone number in length

Let’s be real, a lot of people got in in the hopes of appeasing “the market”. What “the market” wanted, and still wants, is an excess of qualified people, so they can more easily pick, choose and abuse the workers. This has been the case for ages.

Hope everyone has updated their resumes already

Any relation to loss guy?

You don’t need any preexisting training data for procedural generation

With how badly that game was received, maybe they understood the point. Maybe

When each letter is in a different number, I can understand, but what about “TIPS”, both P and S are on 7, so it’d be 8477?

That kind of thing was never used in Brazil, though part of that could be explained by telephones being state controlled up until 1990 or so, people could wait years to get a line.

Does it have a HDMI port to connect to a TV? Since it’s Android, I suppose pairing a new controller would be easy, so stuff you emulate from home consoles can be played with 2-4 people

Probably World of Warcraft. That’s a couple thousand hours in total as I played on and off on private servers throughout the years from 2006-2012, plus a brief stint with BfA.

Actually, no, I’d rather not forget how I saw the game evolve, even if my experience wasn’t the ideal one.

Stay on 10 and force M$ to give further updates because of sheer popularity, just like they had to with XP

PCs are becoming consoles

The Amiga dream is finally coming true

Yes. Kinda. Some games from the X1 era aren’t available on PC, like Halo 5. X360 games that are backwards compatible but weren’t actually released for PC, like Red Dead Redemption, won’t be available either.

Copilot on PS5, somehow

Much healthier!
