I mean, most recently I was playing Twilight Princess HD, which isn’t available on the Switch. I also got back into Wii Sports over the pandemic by playing Wii Sports Club online with my brother on the other side of the country. Heck, I’ve been dying to play Xenoblade Chronicles X, though I haven’t gotten my hands on…

In a few years that will probably be $300+.

MENDOZAAAAAAA!

A few... dude they’re now the single largest publisher of games by a fair margin! Activision is not just some small indie studio, they’re right up there with EA and Ubisoft. And combined with Microsoft’s purchase of Zenimax, that gives Microsoft a lot of control over the AAA game market.

I know that, but that hasn’t stopped a certain kind of poster or commenter from proclaiming that Nintendo is doomed basically every year. Maybe I see it more on Twitter or on other sites, but it’s a persistent belief amongst a fringe segment.

Wow, they could have at least given them a decent claw. This is scientific research, they’re not trying to scam kids out of their quarters on the boardwalk.

It’s more akin to buying a slip of paper saying you owned those comics.

You know those “Buy a star” incentives/market? It’s like that. NFTs are just a scheme to launder money. Pump and dump.

NFTs, along with blockchain tech in general, use up a LOT of energy. So much so that it actually overloads power grids.

BECAUSE THEY'RE SPEEDING UP THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR FUCKING PLANET 

“You can’t right click either of these.”

“You can’t right click either of these.”

Yes you can. If the audio files are possible to hear on a computer, anyone with a myriad of basic software than can record computer audio can play the clip, record it, bounce it down as an mp3 and distribute as they please. I do it frequently for my job.

“You can hate. Or you can create.” NGL, that sounds like manipulator talk. The push for NFTs is bad enough, but that’s a non-starter.

Specifically, Plattsburgh, where city officials gave tax breaks to entice bitcoin miners to move there. Subsequently, electric bills went up for everyone else in the city, approx $16 per person per month.

Slight typo on Richard Kar_n_. In this house, we respect the spelling of the name of the host of the Wahl Personal Grooming kit instructional VHS tape that came along with clippers which we may or may not have put on once in high school in a bizarre but successful gamble to convince our girlfriend at the time that…

Memphis was an Italian design movement from that era. It wasn’t called as such by the general population but it was the look and inspiration of EVERYTHING cool and pop. Think pastels, geometrics, Keith Haring.

In my opinion, 1983 is the magic year for “Eighties Music.” By then, all the late-to-the-game-disco-is dead records are not in the picture but musicians are still experimenting with new technologies and the global influences are starting to filter in.

I will take 80's redux over the deathless 90's any goddamn day. And I am 47 so yeah I was there the first time around, thank you.

In a lot of ways, the 80s were terrible. But, in my opinion, it was the best decade for music, hands down. There is nothing, and I mean *nothing* being done today, or even in the last couple of decades, that wasn’t already done in the 80s (and late 70s). You just need to scratch below the surface of the Top 40. There…

I was born in ‘81. So I had an 80s/90s hybrid childhood. I missed out on that 80s teen fun and fashion. One thing a lot of young people don’t understand about the 80s? The paranoia. The misguided war on drugs had us all convinced a stranger would jump out at us and force us to take angel dust. We also had police come…
