The 'What If' Game

[boilusplatform]

you could Finally Solve The Biggest Question Of All Time. What Is 9 + 10.

what if you could choose between a start menu and a start screen in windows 8.1 like how you could choose between a normal start menu and a fullscreen start menu in windows 10

[Master]

You'd probably get the Start Menu you saw in the early Windows 10 builds:


Which was effectively Windows 7 on the left, and Windows 8 on the right. Honestly, I kinda like it. I'd almost say I prefer it were it not for the placement of the utility icons in the final Windows 10 Start Menu. Having them align with the edge of the screen was a nice ergonomic touch as it meant it was easier to click icons such as the settings or power button with speed. Alas, Windows 11 decided to be a regression on that front.

What if Windows Phone actually became the dominant smartphone platform?

[boilusplatform]

i would main it tbh, i really like the windows metro look, even themed my windows 10 install to kinda be like windows 8 lol

what if the rayman series just ended on rayman 1, no new games or anything all we had was rayman 1 and nothing else

[Greengoop]

Then he’d be considered one of those “hit or miss” 90s mascots, and we most certainly wouldn’t be talking here today

What if boilusplatform wasn’t awesome?

[RayGamer99]

Then the Pirate-Community would be roughly 10% less awesome.

What if I quit putting my project off until later and finished it today?

[Greengoop]

Then we would be bullied for being outta date because I thought that was more 2021 jokes

What if I spray deodorant in every one of my ends?

[boilusplatform]

// wait it still didnt get deleted??????? i thought it did, but to sum it all up my what if was "what if we were stuck in 2022 cranking out among drip jokes and laughing at the jerma sus face"
i cant figure out what "every one of my ends" means because english isnt my first language sooo ill edit this later when i figure out

what if roblox actually did something with their moderation team and banned all the creeps and weirdos off of their platform

[Greengoop]

(Oh gosh, been years since I was in the Roblox predator rabbit hole )

Then Roblox would still get those weird TV coverages where the people would still have no idea what they’re on about

What if I could zombie hover irl

[RayGamer99]

Then other people would start trying to do it and... let's just say we'd have a lot of non-hovering zombies on our hands.

What if the Nintendo Switch 2 wasn't so expensive?

[Giant Chicken]

Then it'd sell out even faster than it already did, causing scalpers to raise the price even higher!

What if my cat didn't scratch me as hard as he does when we're playing? (He has sharp claws D:)

[RayGamer99]

Then he would scratch you more to compensate.

What if I got my own crew of pirates and sailed the seven seas to plunder the far reaches of the world?

[Greengoop]

Then you’d be skinny as a doorstop, and shaky as a twig!

I wish someone got that reference

[RayGamer99]

Wrong game, Greengoop!

What if I was good at Splatoon 3?

[Greengoop]

Oh damn

Then the standards for being good would be much lower

What if I had a red PlayStation controller?

[boilusplatform]

You will : Have Red

what if sakurai added rayman to ssbu instead of sora

[Greengoop]

Then people would be happy, but I wouldn’t because smash and Nintendo suck

What if Minecraft didn’t exist?

[boilusplatform]

nothing would really change that much for me

what if ubisoft just decided to add the el dorado cigarette subliminal advertising to every game they have released

[Rsandee]

Somehow that saves them from going bankrupt or being bought by Tencent.

What if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking?

[Greengoop]

Then you’d get into a Steamed Hams-esque situation

What if I was Omniscient?

[Rsandee]

I was hoping someone understood that reference!

Then you'd be Omnigoop.

What if the colors we see aren't the same for everyone.
