… It does?

I’m glad I’m not the only one who played Roblox growing up… But like over a decade ago. Weird to see it still around.

Random memories:

• couldn’t figure out how to drive vehicles (equip the drive tool and press T or something)

• there used to be a FREE currency called TIX that they gutted

• the old sound effects

• the old forcefield effect

• killing yourself precisely so that your head bounced onto the obby’s next spawn point skipping the obstacle

-games were so much less commercialized, but they were also for the most part games made by other kids, they lacked the labor required to make a GAME game, but had charm. The fun games were FUN, and all they really offered in terms of monetization were VIP t shirts

• desert Base Battle, ultimate paintball, ultimate build, sword fight on the heights, galleons, work at Pizza place, disaster survival

• mashing yourself under geometry only slightly higher than you are, and then holding spacebar until you jump so hard your character model shoots out at a random tangent at Mach speed

• calling my friend to play, using the wireless house phone, holding it against my ear with my shoulder for hours until I got cramps

• constant status bars at the bottom from scripts included in free models “the maker of this place would like to thank xyzname for using their models!”

• magic path tools, rocket launchers, slingshots, bombs, swords

• Roblox is the reason I’m a programmer today, I was diving into LUA when I was a kid

Also maybe try not to harass them about which instance they choose to join (unless it’s a tanky one lmao), just try to educate them if the subject comes up. I think it’s overwhelming to jump right away into “this instance has this problem, you should move to this other one”

I say this still not having moved from Lemmy.world

Welcome!

Probably not knowing how fucked we are currently

No no no no no no

That is so cool

I was like this as a kid. I broke my wrist and toned it down a bit. Just a bit mind you.

3080, runs like shit tbh.

I found a vulnerability in their web server that handles their equivalent of game add-ons. I found an authorization bypass that allowed me to look at their admin interface for managing add-ons

I messaged Gary about it on their discord but never got a response. They patched it right after though

Most games use UDP as the latency induced by TCP is unacceptable for games

Lmao

Oh I’m an idiot

Who’s talking about the free market here?

McMaster Carr is the greatest site ever. I could browse forever

A lot of work but: have her VPN into your residential network and send her traffic through your ISP for a while.

I agree!

Wow. Someone needs their coffee

Whatever you fucking loser

Haha, OP has truly won the Internet today
