Also, thank you for not jumping down my throat for pointing this out. Last time people came back with “WHATEVER FUCK YOU I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR YOUR DUMB NERD SHIT BUY THE ACTUAL GAME WHY DO YOU HATE NINTENDO” and it’s like Jesus fuck, I’m trying to help you play something by pointing out how widely available this is,…

What’s the over/under on “Will provide paid female gaming companionship” versus “Will provide pocket healing”, or is that sort of a really-overlapping Venn Diagram?

Mostly I’m just wondering if the inevitable creepers who purchase their services are honestly worth the $5 to endure, but it seems like they know what…

There’s a bunch of weird shit like that in classic consoles. The Sega Genesis pad and the Atari 2600 Joystick also use the same port, for some unfathomable reason.

Seriously.

Me too! I, uh...Never use it, because the whole USB cable to my PC route is way easier and the game honestly looks better. :x

Got a Neo Geo, too! .... Aaaaaand for exactly the same reason, it stays in storage. Also it only has a single mono audio out, what the hell SNK.

Leste doesn’t come across as particularly well-adjusted in this, to put it mildly. Maybe don’t instantly resort to poo-flinging in your own house before at least making a token goodwill attempt to figure out what happened? Not a great look.

For sure; extend that capability to any computer — tablet, phone, tower, laptop, whatever — and that problem’s solved easily, though. Any USB controller up to and including a PS4 controller will work, or you can do what I do and just snag a $5 converter and use an actual SNES controller.

And yes, there’s the “that’s…

Honest question: Did you know you can very very easily play that on pretty much any portable modern computing device, iPhones included?

Not trying to be a snarky dick! People my own age (35) are routinely amazed when I pull out my old Android phone and start playing SNES games on it like it’s no big deal.

Nice! Thank you kindly.

Trumples really doesn’t grasp the whole “saying it more louderer doesn’t make it happen no matter how much you try” thing, huh?

“Who?” - everyone

My legit favorite thing about this timeline is that Trumple’s lowest common denominator supporters actually think it’s okay to do this shit now because that fat gibbering fuck is president, like it magically changed the country back to the 50s simply because the man in charge is just as much of a goon as they are.

And…

Gotta admit, that’s some dust-off-my-shoulder skills there. I actually respect this kid more now.

As a former alkie: Dude. Dry out for six months or so. It helps. (You can keep smoking weed and doing the occasional coke bump, it’s fine).

I’d like to read it if you do. I’ve met Stan, friendly guy and seemed to be having fun talking to fans, but I’ve heard similar rumblings about him being 90% showman and 10% comics guy.

...Yeah that’s fair.

Yeah, it’s definitely a thing. My wife’s grossed out by shellfish in general. I think being raised near the ocean helped a lot with that, but objectively I can see how eating lobster is kinda gross? Imagine if they lived in trees. Would you still eat ‘em?

(I would!)

As a forced beach-goer as a child (NEVER BE BORN NEAR AN OCEAN TO HIPPIE PARENTS, KIDS!) I immediately identified that “weird black goo” the clam shoots out (heh) as just sand mixed with water.

My wife, on the other hand, was convinced that clams have a large double-tipped-cock appendage specifically for the violent…

Albert you’re a goddamned national treasure. I say this as a Canadian.

As an outside observer, I continue to be amazed at the kinds of things that are matters of life and death to bored teenage girls.

That said; better this than what bored teenage boys get up to. The worst Tumblr hysterics over the grossest possible shit still don’t hold a candle to mid-aughts 4Chan on a good day.

(And…

You ain’t wrong! But that’s also not the whole story. Folks came out of that era whose legacies have still held up fine. Tolkein famously didn’t open the door when antisemitism came knocking, for example, but HP Lovecraft would’ve willingly signed up for that shit regardless of when he was born.

It’s less to do with…
