I've played that slow start a billion times it seems. I recently had to write my SNES Classic clean when I added NES Classic dual-boot capabilities, so it looks like I'll be going through it yet again. 😂 Also, do the NES Classic dual-boot. I've been playing the 8-bit stuff more than the SNES stuff. I even beat LoZ…

Speaking as someone with years of experience in the evangelical American church, I’d like to expand on the concerns of the Doc and other commenters.

Its pretty straight forward to do. I set mine up to dual boot the SNES and the NES Classic (with the Nintendo UI and everything). The program allowed me to create an app that switches between each as if I am merely choosing another game. The only translated ROM I've added is Fire Pro Wrestling X Premium, which is a…

Now is the perfect time to be releasing anything slime related. All of the girls who play Switch, whether they like DQ or not, will be asking for one of these. I was playing games last night and my daughter put this big glob of slime in my hand...it stuck to my skin and I had to pick it off piece by piece. I was…

I vaguely remember playing my uncle’s TG16 when I was 4 or 5. Before that, he had one of the mid/late-80s Ataris. I’ve since played alot of the games via emulation on the TG16, but those cloudy memories from his dingy room in the back of my grandparents' double-wide are an odd source of nostalgia for the system. I…

With my son, it’s WWE 2k19 all the time. He’s autistic and wrestling is his “thing,” so it’s tough to convince him otherwise. Besides grimacing at buying anything that benefits Vince McMahon, it’s all fun, as the Attitude Era is long gone. He understands that its an athletic spectacle and it hasn’t translated into…

I love the look. With the sharp bluffs all around the island, it looks like a Playmobil toy set or something. Little details like the snorting Moblins are really nice. The combat animations are impressive as well.

And that totally cleared it up....

The saddest part is that they really have the best product (though overpriced) with the most promise of actually converting smokers. It is simple, reliable, and readily available. No need to go to the vape shop, and you don’t look like an idiot sucking the barrel of gun and blowing dragon clouds. I’ve seen more…

I lived in a small town and we only had a local mom and pop store. I was a big airplane fan as a kid, and, since I didn’t have a PC for flight sims, I think I wore out that store’s copies of Star Fox and Wings 2. There was also a rental place in Wal-Mart for awhile that had lots of used games for sale. I found a copy…

You're right. I was just offering a tounge in cheek reply as to why they might care all of a sudden. 

I'm almost certain teachers in Texas don't have a union. We don't in GA.

In my upper-level English classes, it wasn’t hard to figure out which students were going for the traditional BA in English and which were in the BS in English Education program. The intellectual divide was astounding...that said, here I am 10 years into my teaching career still jumping through hoops to get my initial…

Their is a good bit of racial animosity between the hispanic and black students at my school, I had an ESL student from Mali, and I was flabbergasted by my need to instruct the majority hispanic class on racial tolerance, especially when, 10 minutes before, we had watched CNN 10 and had an open conversation about…

Maybe so. We are still *pretty free* to teach what we want in GA; I teach “Things Fall Apart” to my seniors every semester and it leads to some uncomfortable but mind-opening discussions in class about colonialism and Christian evangelism in class. The common core English standards are pretty vague and can be applied…

English teachers are the primary teachers of philosophy, culture, and diverse worldviews at the high school level. We are used to getting ribbed (or worse) for being lefties (i.e. intellectuals), and this lady has betrayed the discipline. I’m willing to bet she has never gotten told, in a case of clear chastisement,…

I teach high school ESL (and AP Lit), and I’m the opposite. I actively remind them of their rights and distribute flyers in Spanish and English detailing how to respond if ICE or DHS show up at their door. As a teacher of these students, I feel it is my responsibility to do what I can to protect them and ensure they…

As a teacher, I hate when they lord that salary BS over us. 32K/year doesn't buy me 24/7.

Some of my fellow teachers give parents their cell-phone numbers. Nope. 

I'm a high school teacher, and I had a freshman ask me where I went for lunch. I tried not to laugh. I get 25 minutes to shove something in and, usually, do some sort of last minute prep for the next period. Every five weeks, I don't get a lunch break. I have to rush to the lunchroom at the bell for duty and rush back…
