Thank you everyone for sharing your knowledge of an in-joke of a 1993 computer game in the replies
Props to my "Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen2 14" Monitor".
My display fried in the middle of a Teams presentation. I grabbed this portable #display (USB-C, touchscreen) out of my backpack, switched it out in seconds & kept right on presenting.
Regarding Hong complaining about Thanksgiving (or any holiday) I saw a comment that said "No shit! She was a service industry worker. We all hate the holidays!" and like, yeah... I started to hate certain holidays when my job involved mandatory "all hands on deck" events where I got assigned to do shitwork, so I get it.
And yeah, Thanksgiving does have colonialist roots!

For your reticulating splines enjoyment, here's me booting up Sim City 2000 on OG hardware; bonus dog at the end

To be fair I think A View to a Kill has the better story, villain, actors, pacing and gags.
But both are worth watching, especially for the tech billionaire criminal masterminds. Maybe almost too real!

I got a lot of “but it’s business people making programmers do this”, implying that software engineers want to be ethical but can’t.
That’s the software engineers who just stole the term “engineer” from another profession that has very strict certification requirements including mandatory ethics classes.

“Corollary 1 (AoE II is Turing-Complete). Let I be an instance of AoE II with two players p0,p1. Assume p0 has two markets, a town centre, a trade cart, six villagers, and five farms; while p1 has a scout unit and only attacks p0’s buildings. Then if I has no time or size limits and the terrain allows for buildings everywhere, the game session in I is Turing-complete.”
