Sometimes you just get into a bitchslappin' kind of groove.

"Troll logic" is one of my favorite memes.

Exactly like being hit by lightning at any instant has a 50% risk because either it happens or it doesn't.

I already don't trust any Google result that has "AI" anywhere near it, and barely even the rest anymore.

Yes, but was this specific one a result, or was it a 5 second fake because haha meme?

I'm already pretty skeptical of "AI" in the LLM-algorithm-hell sense, but that doesn't mean people don't make things up for shits and giggles.

Please tell me this is fake. I need to hear these words.

I distinctly remember this joke when 2000 or ME was the most recent one.

Five... four... three...

lmao

So they're ripping off the game that ripped them off. The industry is in an absolute state.

GOG if available, no DRM and while I think they do have a launcher, I don't think it's required. I could be wrong...

Steam does tend to be annoying about logging in and out, not necessarily letting you choose to update stuff, it has DRM and requires internet (or will at least be annoying about it).

GOG is more like, gosh, downloading some software and then running it. Without it doing 11 kinds of random shit on you.

Yeah, well, no fucking shit, what'd they think was the point of the campaign?

These guys...

"site" does work still, I think, just plus a lot of irrelevant drivel - standard Google fare, you see it on Youtube too.

I'd consider the most basic case to be, specifically, the "quotes for verbatim results", which definitely do not work anymore. Neither does + for a positively (hue hue) required term, a close second.
