This sounds an awful lot like The Typing of the Dead

Hey, don't forget about C:\ProgramData !

I guess it's G19 now

It's the sound of paper tearing.

Have you played Doki Doki Literature Club?

I had a similar thing with a promotional card at a bar called Wurstküche in LA some years back shortly after it first opened. The card said something like "one free sausage" on it. The intent was you use the card once, and then they take it away and next time you want a delicious gourmet sausage you need to pay. All of my friends had one of these cards, and eventually they all were taken away, but they never took my card and we kept going back to that bar over and over again to get sausages and drink beer.

When I was in high school my friends and I were always finding creative ways to skip school and instead go out and do stuff. But, there was a limit of X days that you could be absent throughout the year, or else you'd have to make up the time by attending summer school.

In a conversation with some school admin staff I discovered that if you attend just one class during the day, any absence for the rest of the day was counted as 0.5 days in the attendance system.

So, we effectively doubled the number of days we could skip school by showing up for the first hour and then getting out to e.g. attend a dentist appointment.

I had online (dial-up) service via QuantumLink when Bards Tale was initially released for C64.

Yeah I'm not so sure about that. I played Bards Tale when it came out and yes of course I did a lot of my own research, etc. but that kind information still got around in the form of BBSes, magazines, AOL, CompuServe and of course word of mouth. Everyone knew the Contra code despite the lack of ubiquitous internet.

The very least they could do is say how much the revenue changed vs. previous year.

Obviously she is only halfway through her beauty sleep.

Home prices in (many) metro areas are riding steadily. Edit: some cities where the primary industry for the area is declining, this trend is going the other way

In many rural areas home prices have fallen dramatically due to a combination of migration to cities and overall declining population.

If this is a comment about homeless people, there are still plenty of homeless people all over Japan.
