I got helldivers 2 a week ago.
As a Plants vs Zombies fan, I tried PvZ Online during what was the final year. Same thing with the Yahoo Games Battle Cats.
Two browser games I gave up on after realizing they'd be closing the servers long before I could finish adventure mode in PvZ Online or get anywhere significant in Battle Cats.
There was a show on a local access cable channel in Austin back in the late 90s/early 00s called The Show With Know Name. It was hosted by Charlie Sotelo and his mysterious sidekick "Cinco" in the booth, and they'd just shoot the shit in between showing fun videos (the precursor to YouTubers reacting to viral videos). I discovered it one day while flipping channels, and I learned it was their second to last show after a ten year run. I had a sad.
Side note: Charlie Sotelo manages the SXSW Comedy festival, and he once punched Alex Jones in the fucking face.
Amateur radio. At this point it's a race to talk to old hams before they die.
Sriracha. I'm thankful to have found some fresh bottles recently, but they're hard to find
Huh I had no idea they paused production
Burning music to CDs. Still fun to listen to in the car.
Oh me too, It's so much fun. I've got a big binder of them in my car. I know nobody else who does, so I sadly can't share my CDs.
Pump it up.
I started playing in 2016, and it's such a niche thing compared to what rhythm games used to be in the early 00s.
I enjoy it but I almost always play alone.
Iβd play PiU with you :c
I prefer DDR, but you can find me rockin Csikoβs Post any day
Battlerite and OmegaStrikers
Kind of like that, I got into them as they were thriving, since it was on beta/release, but they died very quickly afterwards and it is a shame because nothing captures that feel for me, I like short burst competitive games like that, but I guess people generally arenβt into stuff like that.
E: And actually one more like that, the goatest of them all tbh, just been so long that i forgot about it, but this is one that is an awesome idea for anyone looking for some fun friend group comp game:
This last one is a damn shame, because there really is nothing like it.
I got really into Star vs The Forces of Evil, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, and Adventure Time well after they each had ended.
Star really grated at the beginning. Rich girl having rich girl problems with rich boy. There was no tension, nothing.
Then they started introducing dark elements in there - monsters, her family's dark past, the unspoken guilt of those they usurped. It got really good then
Anno online... Great game, got really into it, then realized it was on its way out... Sad times
I've forgotten the name but there was an "adult" MMO made for android devices that I played a while back. After I completed the tutorial, I was shown the announcements and it stated that the the game's service was to end in about week.
I feel like I should have more but I can't remember anything else.
Minidisc. My then-boyfriend bought me a recorder for Xmas 2002 and I was absolutely in love with it. I still use minidisc but I think for most people it was a flash in the pan - it didn't have the staying power that I thought it would.
Also ephedra - right before it was banned, all the women in my office went through the Atkins -> Xenadrine -> Pilates fads. Holy crap did that suck. Atkins made me stink (ketosis) and xenadrine make me shaky, dizzy, and irate. I was too poor for pilates haha. The entire office was miserable!
Searx, technoblade, vendetta, death battle, yuzu, other stuff i forgot about
Only after writing this list i realised that the post asked for stuff with a dead community, not an abandoned game
Searx?
Is there any other self-hosted search engine?
There is searxng, a fork of searx
Thanks!
Anyone get a cyber truck in the last few weeks?
vine
Escape from tarkov :/
Just uninstalled earlier this week after years of sinking time into it. I watched the wiggle video and with the current developer drama, I'm fucking done. The game is simply INFESTED with cheaters.
The economy.
Laser discs and quadraphonic LPs.
Playing back quad was such a pain
Really? I've found it to be as easy as a standard LP. 8 Track quadraphonic, now that's a whole different kettle of fish
The standard I gave up on was the one with the extra channels encoded on high frequencies that needed a clean hyper elliptical and required demodulation that never seemed to work right.
If youβre talking about the one with phase encoding then yeah that worked good.
