Mayonnaise is excellent on pizza, but I will give you that kebab pizza is one of the best things ever to have been put into pizza form - I live in the US, where it’s super-rare, but luckily we have a strange little Greek/Middle-Eastern Sandwich/Pizza place near where I live that makes a damned good one.

Games should really just be Public Domain-ed 25 years after release - not the IP, not the source code, not any updated, upgraded, HD-ified and surround-sounded versions (which can have their own 25 years), but whatever version was released a quarter of a century ago. They could still retain the sole right to sell

Part of me wants to order a few to sell on eBay later, but every time I try, my soul metaphysically drop-kicks and curb-stomps me until I give up.

I’ve never heard of anyone asking for a Netflix for NES games, but I guess there’s a market for everything.

Is that the blue-gray LED one? If so, I agree - the rest kind of look like someone put some ugly vinyl stickers on what was once a a perfectly fine console, but that one... that one I like.

This makes perfect sense to me - despite living with essentially perpetual anxiety, I still love bungee jumping and skiing down the wrong side of mountains, and definitely want to go skydiving someday. Most of my more thrill-seeking friends always *say* they want to, but once they’re standing at the edge of a building

Can we have heat-seeking cougar-launchers?

This honestly went in a completely different direction than I expected - I figured it was going to be about a debt-collector who specialized in getting money out of streamers that try to skip out on paying their bills.

Until Dawn was, surprisingly, not that bad in terms of jump scares; I went in fully expecting it to be a rapid-fire jump-scare fest, but it was actually pretty well balanced. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

Completely understandable - I can generally handle jump-scares, but a lot of movies and games (especially games) use them WAY too often.

Rockstar already has a solution planned:

And 1,000 units of Snake Oil = 1 unit of Whale Oil.

Not to nitpick, but the Saturn’s analog controller was the first to introduce analog triggers, not the dual-shock. Sony shopped ideas from all of their competitors.

And yet, the best motion-control implementation is also the most completely dead; the Kinect.

These days, they both do their own thing, and we’re (mostly) better off for it - if they were both competing for the entire market, games would become even more generic than they are now (I picture some sort of open-world gray paste, with occasional signs of cuteness and gunfire).

Hey, that’s mean!

But also, “If Nintendo won’t do it, Sony will.”

Well, we call them statuettes; luckily, the name doesn’t change the fact that they’re still just a piece of poop on a stick with initials carved on it.

If God didn't want us punching old folks, he'd stop making our faces so dang punchable when we get old.

Most games I buy end up somewhere in my 100+ game backlog anyway, no need to stick them in there early.
