After reading this, I went to Colorware and made a Samus controller and now holyshiznit I want this so badly. Please help me convince Mrs. Bassbeast it’s okay!

My NUC was $400 CAD. It’s lasting a lot longer than ATV.

And I won my Galaxy Fold. Doesn’t mean they don’t have an actual cost for normal people. And what does this have to do with the fact that an HTPC will have better utility than a streaming box?

Nope! Don't have to. I have an old NUC that is still doing its thing in my father's house. Updated to Win10, and he's still rocking it. I built a gaming PC that I have hooked into my TV, which is why I can do 4K120, but for good ol' 1080p60 (which, let's face it, will continue to be the standard for a while yet) the…

Not to put too fine a point on it, but this is EXACTLY why I have a home theater PC. I access everything through a browser, which is kept up to date anyway. I don’t have any obsolescence problems, and it gives me maximum flexibility. I have an amazing wireless keyboard (Logitech K830) and the computer gives me 4K120…

I pulled that trick once. My older one (10) whipped up a tortellini in brodo soup with pasta he found in the fridge, some diced green beans and shredded parm. Toasted some baguette in the oven. Kid did well.

This game had me utterly enthralled during my first two playthroughs. When I heard there was an extended version of the game coming, I haven't touched it. As soon as it's available, you'd better believe my lizard brain will go all up in this. 

This. Is. Genuis. What about salting the water to get it below freezing. 

That’s some fantastic, clean line work! Love the indigenous art style too.

Already there.

This is the same Nintendo that, when realizing they couldn't find the original Super Mario Bros ROM anywhere for their virtual console, downloaded a pirated ROM wholesale, then sold it back to you. 

Nah, Aisha’s articles all tend to do this.

Or you could... *gasp!* just let it go to voicemail. Texts have read receipts, and the notification stays until I address it fully. Plus, sometimes I want transient conversation. I'm not so arrogant as to need a record of every single thing I say (unlike everyone under 30 it seems who needs to chronicle everything…

Beat me to it. 

For sure, and MS should be commended for it. That’s why I still have my One S hooked up. You’ll also notice in my museum setup I have BC consoles whenever possible, like PS3 or WiiU. I think it’s a great feature! But in the case of the article, Fahey is just flat-out wrong.

I’m 100% with you on how it would be nice. But it’s just not feasible with consoles. PCs are an apples and oranges comparison. Again, I know I’m fringe in how seriously I take it. But to call the PS4 “stupid” because it couldn’t do BC with PS3 as Fahey did is short-sighted, and frankly dumb. Consoles are definitely in…

Again, it’s a question of how how far back you want to go. No system prior to the 7th gen hooks up easily via HDMI, and no modern screen accepts older inputs easily (or scales easily, like the SNES with a lot of upscaling options like AV systems or TVs), so right off the bat, you’re looking at some sort of investment.

Actually, yes I do. I have a launch PS3 (for PS1 and 2), NES, SNES, N64, GCN (for GBA player, using the digital out port), Wii U (Wii is in storage, I like HDMI), Switch, Xbox One S (Crimson limited edition Gears 4 2TB), Master System, Genesis tower of power, Saturn, Dreamcast, Neo-Geo, 3DO, TurboDuo, and Jaguar, all…

Umm, what? Unless you wanted the PS4 to come out at $599 again, it was kind of necessary. The move from the bizarre Cell architecture (which, let’s face it, really hampered the PS3 for a LONG time) to a more standard X86 architecture was absolutely necessary. The only way the PS3 had backwards compatibility was to…

This’ll go down GREAT at the Village Shul!
