Yeah, it's for a specific audience. The raspberry pi is perfect for most. 

The socket fully engages with it pressed down, an original unmodified nes in new condition won’t play games in the up position.

Sure, and they were very capable systems, but for a kid, it was a game system (though the music and art software was pretty fun too).

Even in the states, I had been playing my c64 for years before the NES came out, and I didn't actually get one till like 87. The C64 and then amiga were way more of a big deal to many of us even stateside. I did have an Atari 2600 which was my first console, so I do I have a lot of 4-9 year old nostalgia for that as…

Here's hoping. 

Was always better than the ipod. 

Responding to me has the same effect. Oh no. So does this response! Damn it. 

Virtual console was much better, for sure, but there are plenty of good ways to get your classic NES fix these days, the best of which is probably a ROM card on an original NES, or a MiSTer... even a Raspberry Pi. 

Couldn’t you have used a picture of a real NES for the lede image for an article about the importance of the original NES?

they feel like an offline mp mode rather than a focused story.

The campaigns in multiplayer centric shooters for games not named Titanfall 2 tend to be bad, because they’re really designed as training wheels for the real game, which is the multiplayer.

I wonder if they'd still be operating if it weren't for the meme stock situation. 

Do you use the new wavefront guided sclerals? My father has the same condition, and it was absolutely life changing vs the regular sclerals. Like seeing for the first time.

Xbox for everything except exclusives. 

I remember the halcyon days of aught-fifteen. Why, for 6 pence I could away myself for a day, nibbling horehound drops, chasing hoops, and catching frogs. The gasoline burning engine had become near commonplace, as wainwrights turned their shingles.

Ever see the early Tom Hanks joint "Mazes and Monsters"? Oof. 

Latex? It's ripped up stockings. 

The gross part, to me, isn’t sexy video game people. I like sexy video game people as much as the next person, possibly more! The problem is not owning it. “She needs to be naked to breathe, it’s in service of the story guys, my hands are totally tied here. You’re gonna feel like SUCH an asshole when you realize how…

Which means you've probably not played them! Geezus dude. 

The Remedy Universe always reminds me of The Lost Room (miniseries), which Sam Lake must have seen before developing control.
