In one of the tests my cousin, with very Latina facial features, took in the USA, she was asked how many generations of her family had a college degree, and she said four. They took her to another room to ask if she understood the question.
That's awesome!MobyGames is a collective database active since 1999. Years ago I was looking for a "letterboxd for games" and others like backloggd and rawg were missing a lot of stuff and had poor info about releases and so (I never checked again, so they might be better now). At the time MobyGames seemed like the best one, there is a lot of very obscure releases there, but I don't know if other databases are more complete.
There were also a lot of collection packs in the middle but I was too lazy to count and exclude them :PBut even if they released just roms instead of physical media, wouldn't you still be able to play on the actual hardware using Everdrive or something?
Ultima Online and Tibia were MMOs with persistent worlds with thousands of players at the same time and no monthly fee as well :)But I already addressed it here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/61742119/23805954
Poor analogy, Blizzard didn't pay my internet bill, and all previous games you could play online just by buying the game. Diablo II had a single player but it was created for online multiplayer, and you didn't need to pay a monthly fee.
Yeah, I used to play Diablo II online and Ultima Online as well (other friends would play Tibia), all of these were created for online multiplayer as well, that's why I thought WoW was bullshit... nowadays I understand the difference in server costs (Diablo II they basically just hosted a lobby and your character data, the game instance would run on the player's computer and not their server, but the other two games hosted all their realms 24/7 with thousands of players simultaneously, the difference is that WoW were hundreds of thousands to millions).
Diablo II was the last time I bought something by Blizzard. When they launched WoW I found it absurd that you had to buy the game and still pay a monthly fee to play.
Other Brazilian here: Although they don't care much about piracy at individual level, there were local servers seized and from time to time they take down some locally hosted sites, so although it's safe for you to download and even p2p share stuff, you can get unlucky hosting - if it's near elections and some politician needs to pretend he is having the police working.
I felt like there was something missing so I picked some chives from my garden.
The pasta I'm making is an Italian Paganini "trafilata al bronzo", might not be a big deal for Europeans, but is way better than anything local I have in my third world country.
I mean, it's right in the name, took them long enough to demand your face for their book.
