Problem is by the time of the next election, his Cancun snafu will be all but forgotten by most people.

I wouldn’t consider Titanic a good movie in a film making art sense...but I do think it’s a good movie in a kind of emotional way. It’s hard to describe. Like your brain knows this is garbage but your emotions get hit hard by some of it. It taps into some universal feelings...feelings of longing and nostalgia for…

There’s quite a lot of movies that hit me differently as an adult then they did as a teenager.  As a teenager I cheered her tossing the last connection to her old life into the sea.  As an adult...I get her wanting to make it on her own I guess...but man...think of her family and how much good it would have done THEM…

It’s also a battle over the little energy left in the world. I like to think that those creepy sounds if you linger too long after a boss battle are on purpose. The fan theory that it’s the sounds of the Octarian civilization literally falling apart is an extremely intriguing one (even if it’s one I doubt Nintendo…

I feel like we didn’t play the same demo.  When I put it down, my thoughts were I am never going to buy this.  This game feels old....and not like in a fun retro way...but like a PS1 game somehow got updated graphics and nothing else.  It’s so clunky to play and the worlds were uninspiring to say the least.

I mostly used it to play from a sofa using big screen mode on my tv...so batteries weren’t really ideal nor was using a usb cord. Also I find batteries to be kinda on the pricey side.

I have one...I hate it. I just find it awkward and uncomfortable...plus it uses batteries. Controllers have been rechargeable for over a decade now. The one saving grace is how easy it is to use with the excellent and sadly also canceled Steam Link.

Jaws was one of those NES games I loved playing as a kid, and played over and over, despite having NO IDEA what I was supposed to actually be doing.

Don’t forget how many internet companies are implementing or trying to implement data caps.

I still pretty regularly play Yars Revenge on emulators...I love that game. As a kid I got so good at it I got it to the “basically unplayable” speed where it would do the pinwheel the second you started and both it and the missile could move faster then you could.

Perceiving something as a discount actually does something to one’s brain...like it’s a scientifically studied thing.  It doesn’t even really matter how much that discount is, it triggers something in a lot of people’s brains.

Oh god yes.  I remember I could never figure out how to play the Indiana Jones atari game because I didn’t have the manual, and so thus did not know you were supposed to use both joysticks....something that without a manual I would never have thought to try.   I was born in 82 so I have no actual memory of the video…

When I was a kid I actually really liked ET.  It was one of the few Atari games where you had to do something other then shoot bad guys for the high score.  I liked that it wasn’t just like an arcade game.  It wasn’t until years later when the internet really became a thing that I learned it’s considered one of the…

I always kind of hate reunions like this. Not because their bad, but for my own self . That reminder that time marches on, stopping for no one, and that everyone grows old.  Always brings about a small existential crisis.

I’ve got some bootstraps I’m willing to loan them, while they have to buy coffee at home and have tragically un avacadoed toast.

Not just that, but in the Mandaloarian they called them up when they realized they didn’t have enough Storm Trooper outfits  lol.   https://chipandco.com/501st-legion-helped-make-episode-7-and-8-of-the-mandalorian-possible-376094/

Simple, as soon as money changes hands, it’s a different issue. It wouldn’t be too hard to enforce that. Wear something to a con just for the fun of it, that’s fine. Sell photographs of yourself or open an Onlyfans, that’s where it’s enforced. Some companies have had similar rules with things like fan films for years.…

When I was a kid, my dad was pretty heavily into computers. The very first game I have any memory of was a Winnie the Pooh text adventure game on our Tandy. I couldn’t even read yet but he read it to me and had me make all the choices. He also used to give me his old computers when he got a new one, so I had a Tandy…

The one I work for ran it’s in flash up until like, maybe a week before flash died.  It was pretty down to the wire.  Not just the timecard program, but a TON of our programs for doing stuff ran in flash.  Flash was definitely not just used for silly animations and the like.

How does one make snow so smooth like this?  My snow creations are always all lumps.
