I embraced the glory of Grofit and the Clemness of Clem at like... MR 12 or so. Smooth sailing ever since.

What I said (assuming you meant the term “blind fandom”) would be rightly deemed insufferable, had it been targeted at you. It wasn’t, so if you feel it was, I’m sorry, but that’s not my fault.

A cursory read through of my post would make it intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that I understand several potential benefits to the emulation route, and was seeking (out of genuine curiosity) your thoughts on what “all the reasons” to purchase a classic console in lieu of a Retropie setup are, since I…

It means I don’t play emulated games, because I grew up playing most of them, and I find modern games more compelling. The only “retro” game I play is Ur-Quan Masters, and that’s a free download on any PC OS.

I’ve got no skin in the game either way, but I’ll bite... What are the reasons, beyond blind fandom, that someone might want something like this over something like Retropie? All these “classic” systems seem to lose on price, peripherals, and game selection - plus, you can get cases for the Pi to look like any classic…

The target demographic for a vehicle like this are skiers, and this thing would be terrible in the winter.

Can someone explain to me how, after all the security issues Epic has had over the last year or so, people aren’t running screaming from the idea of giving them their credit card info for an online game store? Fortnite is hugely popular, but it’s free. It doesn’t require you to give them your credit card details. With…

Same old same old from the Democrats. Just like when they had a filibuster proof supermajority in both houses of Congress, and begged the GOP to give their permission to pass some sort of health legislation, eventually asking the GOP to have their insurance industry handlers-I-mean-lobbyists draft the ACA for them.

As someone who’s recently had their first deliberately bigoted misgendering targetting them (a woman loudly calling her boyfriend over at a store, just to show him how outlandish it was that a “guy” was wearing makeup and womens clothes in public), let me just say “fuck mututal tolerance”. You thinking I’m gross means…

It’s the same logic that gets you a resisting arrest charge for covering your head while the police beat you with clubs and shout, “STOP RESISTING!”

Neither the TVR nor the Audi sounded like they were giving it much throttle as they crossed the line...

Another case of “...and then I saw the interior shots.”

There are people who literally choose to let serious ailments kill them, rather than saddling their loved ones with the debt of having them treated. That should tell you all you need to know.

They exposed card numbers? That’s big bad juju in the PCI world. You lose the right to process credit cards for that one. I do hope if it’s the full card numbers (nobody really cares about truncated ones), someone throws the book at them for that one.

So, his key selling point is that he sucks, but at least he’s not Donald Trump? Got it. Voting for “Not Biden” in the primaries. Whoever it is, if sucking is optional, they have the same strengths that Biden claims.

With how many times millions of Epic accounts have been hacked, or tried to be hacked, and Epic responding by shutting down all customer service channels rather than securing their shit - I’m guessing there’s not much for Valve to worry about...

Read moar. Context helps.

If only it could take that abuse without setting off its airbags...

It will, but 400 candy still takes forever...

But you’ll be screaming TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!
