Come to think of it, I don’t remember either! I vaguely remember discovering a rainbow road shortcut on my own and wonder if this inspired me to search the internet. It also could have been late 90’s when it was getting easier to find things. My memory is shitty, but god did I lose a lot hours in that game.

Oh? This was the mid 90’s (before YouTube and such) so assumed speed running wasn’t a serious competitive sport. When did it start?

Back in the day I discovered you could hop the walls in Wario Stadium if you timed your jumps just right. One day I got super persisted and beat the whole race in something like 22 seconds. This was all before speed-runs were a thing. Fun times.

Yeah but they also got a ton of press and attention going this route. Don’t get me wrong — their marketing track record would say this was NOT on purpose, but maybe this extra attention would be better in the long run

This is sooo Microsoft, though. It’s every obvious they incorporate very little user research in their marketing decisions.

That’s what I thought. Guess I shouldn’t just automatically trust what others say

Holy shit that’s a lot of game-switching. Good on you!

Oh, wow. I didn’t know you couldn’t play next gen games on the non-proprietary externals. Thanks for the heads up!

Regarding game size, MS and Sony should really be spinning it that the SSD is where you store your active games and cheap external storage for all other games. Even then, the only loss is faster load times.

If you afraid of too much heat and smoking, try using 100% grape seed oil. It’s what I use.

Was in the same boat. Website gave no option to buy/claim pins after I completed all the missions, nor were there any instructions. I figured I’d get an email or something...

Truffle salt’s my jam. I love to put it on popcorn, hard boiled eggs, alfredo sauce (pasta or pizza), and cottage cheese. Seems to work with any “white” food that doesn’t have a strong flavor on its own and where you would already season with salt. Haven’t tried potato’s yet, but sounds like a good idea!

Hey Gabe, I also have a 65 inch Vizio M Quantum tv (M658-G1) which I purchased last year and had no problem connecting my TV antenna directly — no tuner required. It seems Vizio is excluded the tuners on the 2016 and 2017 models but reinstated them after due to consumer confusion/backlash:

If it’s so easy to remove, can anyone explain why butchers leave it on?

Black Cherry is an abomination and should be stripped from all future mix-packs.

Agreed! Maybe they felt that the aesthetic style of the N American version would resonate better with those customers at that time?

The tape just made the packets taste worse ☹️

Are you an expert in car windows? Serious question.

What’s truly weird is how much Gizmodo writers/fanboys HATE anything to do with Elon. Not one article about him is clean of some sort of dig or negative slant. It’s just... weird.

Nice
