Wasn't it last literally sending us gibberish like some kind of lovecraftian shit?

I think they just realized it was a memory dump of some kind so they might be able to come up with something

Voyager: " . . . and I think I saw a two‽"

NASA: "Don't worry old friend, there's no such thing as two."

Or like a broken 45-year-old computer.

That's what my 2020 beast computer feels like playing Rocket League, an almost ten year old game. Psyonix! 🖕🤜🤜

Rocket league, LoL, and Dota 2 players need to learn to love themselves and they will never play those games again.

Joking, kinda.

😄 I love Rocket League though. I hate the players but I do love the gameplay. It's so much fun. Especially once you get pretty good at it. I've been playing since launch, and I can't put it away. I keep buying other games that sit on the shelf in sadness.

What "lovecraftian" shit are you referring to?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

There were all kinds of jokes about it going mad at seeing something and thats why it was 'rambling'
