Hot stuff. I got to say, YouTube has some pretty interesting things.

But can you still play Drug Wars?

[–] happysplinter@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Has anyone ever beaten that game? Is it even possible?

It's possible to get to the last day and have a lot of money, which is your "score." The world leaderboards have some ridiculous highscores on the remake called Dope Wars.

That is a strategy guide.

I have never managed to do it.

I played whatever version was easily accessible on Ubuntu’s repository in 2009, and once managed to get a ton of bitches and effectively infinite money. I have no idea how I did it.

No one has beaten The Game, but it is possible. We just need to wait for the Pope to declare that it has come to an end

[–] Thomrade@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh you fucker, its been over ten years. i just lost The Game.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 0 points 2 months ago

Game has been over for about that long. https://xkcd.com/391/

[–] Alenalda@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

The earliest exponention clicker game I ever discovered. Lost dozens of hours to ti83 drug wars

[–] bitwolf@lemmy.one 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not anymore since it's spreading news instead of remaining on YouTube

[–] umami_wasbi@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago

I wonder what can counter this except banning it, or provide calculators to students instead of using their own.

[–] spyd3r@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Utilizing the tools available to you to solve problems is not cheating, its resourcefulness, and using your brain. Which is of course frowned upon in schools that exist to churn out mindless drones for corporate enslavement.

ChatGPT is famously bad at the things you'd use a calculator for though

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago

But you also have a calculator...

[–] Baguette@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

Id see it potentially being useful for starting a problem. Could probably point you towards the right direction for physics problem even if the numbers are off

[–] YourNetworkIsHaunted@awful.systems 0 points 2 months ago

Obligatory plug for calcgpt

[–] umami_wasbi@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago

What would happen if now plug in another calculator? AFAIK that only a P2P connection and never meant for 2 parties.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Bring your calculator to the Spanish exam. Trust me, this plan is flawless.
