Internet of Things is a scam

Are you seriously trying to claim that no human ever bled and saw the colour until the 1970s? LOL

Yes indeed. Before we had “orange”, and also “purple” everything was just “red” which is why we have red onions and red cabbage that are anything but red and several species of bird are called red despite being clearly orange coloured.

Pink Lady is a brand name.

Or Indonesia, Laos, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Cambodia, Iran, Lebanon, Granada, Panama, Somalia, Bosnia, Croatia, Haiti, Congo, Iraq, Iraq again, Afghanistan, Philippines, Syria, Yemen, Somalia again, Libya, Niger, South Sudan…

Marathon was pretty innovative at the time. The fact that there was any form of plot at all was unique in the action and shooter genres. It was the first major release with free look and being able to aim up and down at all. Plus reloading weapons, dual wielding weapons, weapon models visible on the player in multiplayer, plus network voice chat pretty much all of which have become standard in shooters today.

And whatever this new Marathon is it bears exactly zero relation to the original. Innovative, original, single player experience vs derivitave, cut and paste multiplayer “live service” grift.

Yeah, but no one gave a shit until about a month ago now people are literally fighting in the street over them and in another month no one will care again.

My other half’s sister calls them memes, pronounced like the first person singular pronoun me.

Drives her teenage sons mad every time.

Snow White was a failure at conception, not because of one actor.

Paul Dano was perfect in Swiss Army Man, that sense of “out of place” actually worked incredibly well for that film.

Fuckin TikTok trends. The cycle of “check out this cool thing” to “omg we must all buy this thing, I will literally murder you if you get between me and this thing” to “no-one cares about that thing any more” has reached an absurd pace now.

It’s just like beanie babies but that whole cycle took years to mature, now it takes weeks. I remember being stopped by a teenager, while I was driving past, to ask if I had any Prime, now they can’t give that vile shit away.

Gross over simplification and also false.

Edit, for those interested, there hadn’t been violent mass resistance in India since the uprisings in 1857. While terrorism and assassinations continued, the Imperial intelligence services (which were one of the largest and most sophisticated in the world) effectively neutered and public opinion in Britain wasn’t affected at all.

The Indian National Army which grew in WW2 with Japanese support certainly worried the Imperial governors but it had been obliterated during the botched invasion of India in 1944 and was never able to fully recover, despite strong support in some regions.

The now hugely powerful and well armed British Indian Army was another source of concern but there was no appetite among the officers for revolution and the ordinary soldiers had mixed loyalties.

Most of the violence within India at the time was actually between the Hindu majority and Muslim minority and not directed against British occupation in any large degree.

It was the non-violent passive opposition of Gandhi and the Quit India Movement, and crucially, the British violent crackdown of it, that shifted public opinion within Britain. Once Churchill was ousted, there was neither the public support, or the political desire for further defense of British rule in India and forced them to the negotiating table.

To say violence was what caused the British to pull out is factually incorrect and that the non violent resistance totalled “jack shit” is ignorant beyond belief.

There’s a ROM hack that let’s you swap characters with a button press rather than trek through the level to find a swap barrel and then trek back again, and do that again and again for coins, bananas, etc.

Small change that has a big impact on the replayability.
