Had, I did the reverse and forgot Overgrowth was the more modern sequel, thanks for reminding me of that!

Mortal Kombat?

Lugaru.

Open source, martial arts combat game where you are an anthropomorphized rabbit, been around for over a decade now... completely free.

I, too, have lived in a no frills, cookie cutter townhouse, hahah.

Let me guess your kitchen is to the right of where you are sitting, there's either one or two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, and a small room, entry way and small garage downstairs?

Coconut water or pedialyte helps with a hangover, lol. Best of luck with your unborking.

Its a TV set up in the living room of a townhouse.

TV is playing a game, which is paused.

Cat is derping down the stairs, checking on whoever is sitting on the couch.

Person on couch is taking a picture of cat.

Also there's an RGB smart bulb or light strip or something, lighting the whole scene to be turquoise.

That looks to be an immense amount of food for a cat that size, but maybe I am getting the perspective wrong?

What if the cat wanted its own pet?

Oh, you know, just in about half the widely publicized instances of right wing extremists committing hate crimes or domestic terrorism or what not since about 2019.

The incidents linked on this wiki page are far from exhaustive.

As wiki states, the term originated over a decade ago as basically a joke format, but was used with increasing regularity by right wing extremists in the lead up to and during the trump administration.

I guess you haven't watched much news in the last decade?

Every single GTA V or RDR2 centric discord I have ever been on is full of people who use the vernacular I described, to the point they will mock and then ban you for questioning it, as if theyve always been right.

Its possible I've just had extremely bad luck.

Its also possible that these people are primarily console players who just got computers to play only Rockstar games, I guess if you had 0 experience with PC gaming and 100% with consoles, it could explain only hearing the term modding as something illegal or cheating.

Or it could be along the lines that you've said: Younger generations just read official documentation and have near 0 knowledge of anything that came before?

Thank you, this clears up nothing rofl.

sigh

that is entirely possible.

wouldnt be the first time a totally contextually misunderstood term was more or less accidentally appropriated to have some new meaning, making its widespread adoption and widespread lack of its contextual origination even more infuriating.

This is kind of but not really similar:

What in the fuck is up with the PC GTA/RDR community using the term 'mod' incorrectly?

In every other context of video gaming ever, a mod is something that adds or changes a single player game, or a modded multiplayer game basically includes the server set of mods that all behave equally for all players.

But in Rockstar Online communities, modding means to be using a cheat engine. Something like what would be called hacks or aimbots or teleporting yourself or others or spawning anything on command, some other kind of client side exploitation software.

I have no idea how this happened or is the norm.

In any other game ever, a 'modded' server would mean oh we tweaked some global vars and we added these weapons and this vehicle and this new mechanic.

In Rockstar games a modded server is not a term that makes sense to these people because modding is cheating and only players can run mods... even though you can absolutely run an emulated private server through RedM/FiveM, and you can absolutely (and basically have to) run server side mods (as a barebones setup will be lacking MANY core and ancillary gameplay functions).

It fucking baffles me.
