If we’re getting technical, the Mercury strap-on retro booster was intended to slow the spacecraft down (and de-orbit).

I must say though, this game is thoroughly in the uncanny valley for me.

That is horrifying. I’ve always realized that the Gang are horrible people who destroy peoples lives. That’s why the show can get away with a lot of offensive jokes, the protagonists are always the but of the jokes.

It reminds me quite a bit of It’s Always Sunny; for a while I lived with a small handful of dudes who wanted to be The Gang, picking analogues in the show for who they felt best represented them, and emulating the various drinking games and habits they exhibited. It entirely baffles me that anyone would watch that…

One of the primary criticisms leveled against Rick And Morty fans is that they mistakenly valorize Rick as a sort of uber-nerd, a shit-talking asshole who’s too smart to abide by normal social rules. Rick is always right, and when he isn’t, he still comes out on top, probably with a catchphrase and an episode-ending…

>because of those fans, the show is becoming easy to hate

I’m in it because I love cars, and should have gotten into journalism instead ...

You are surprised by this? Cops murder people are not disciplined.

Is it overreach when the government tells me I can’t enrich uranium on my own property?

One man’s “Enthusiast” is another man’s “Hoarder”.

I’m sorry David, but I believe our gentleman friend, regardless of his cheery disposition, falls into “Hoarder” territory.

If they were running, driven, exhibited, or maintained....maybe I’d change my mind...but nope...we’re in straight hoarder-land here.

I’ve been saying something simple about this... If the town doesn’t want your business, they can suck a fat one. Don’t give them any of your money and see how their tune changes.

Especially since they’re all vastly different from each other and serve a different purpose. I don’t see how selling all 3 at the same time would hurt them.

If it wasn’t intentional, than why did you stop production of the NES classic?

Seriously, Nintendo can fuck right off. There is no excuse for not making enough NES Classics. They could still be making and selling them right now! It’s a cheap piece of hardware with minimal storage requirements that they could be turning out by the millions if they wanted to, but they aren’t. They intentionally…

At this point, I’m convinced Nintendo is either one of the most inept companies (from a business decision-making standpoint) in the history of the world and only survives because its strong IPs and ability to make great games, OR the world’s greatest troll.

This still doesn’t explain why they just decided to stop making NES Classic. Once they saw the popularity, they could have helped avoid or minimize the overpricing by just making more. I guess they just didn’t want it to compete with the Switch or the subsequent SNES Classic, but I think there is a market for all…

Public Urges Nintendo: Meet the Demand of the SNES Classic

Improving 1.4 seconds on a 1 min lap is HUGE when you are racing. It’s not a 3% improvement. Calling it a 3% improvement implies that you can still make a 97% improvement. Going from a bone stock Honda Civic driven by me, to Lewis Hamilton driving his F1 car wouldn’t even be a 97% improvement because there is a…
