  • Dungeons of Daggorath. I had a Color Computer 2 growing up, while we lived in a trailer park. I was still a little afraid of the dark, and the hallways and first person view with jump-scare monsters were a bit intense for me. I’d have to run from one end of the hallway to the other, to get to the bathroom and back.

    The impressive event queue system in that game felt like magic to me, like I wondered what happened to the monsters when you turn the computer off.

    I was a “smart kid” but I don’t think I was a smart kid.

  • I feel like there should be a third box with Wall Street raider types, for scrapers that use Selenium browser automation.

    I don’t think it’s entirely unblockable - adsense seems to know to only serve unmonetized PSA ads - but I think it’s very difficult to discriminate between “this is a real browser controlled by an end user” and “this is a real browser being controlled by automated test software”.
