I’m blaming the imperial power that provoked the war in the first place

So, Russia?

We can’t get to Terminator without trudging through Multiplicity first.

VLOOKUP. Every time. Also Catan Cities and Knights.

Heads on pikes could avert a full-on war.

This was not what I was expecting from Grey’s first Trump 2.0-related video.

That sounds like the kind of thing I’d reply, “Oh, no thanks, I don’t like bowling” to.

I’m curious what the actual data looks like.

I’m sure it will be available for purchase shortly.

Came here looking for Grey, was not disappointed.

Time to dust off the snake-stomping boots.

Soooooooo many hours put into CvS2 on PS2. And I’m still a scrub. Doesn’t matter, had fun.

And the MOVE bombings happened in my lifetime. It was all over the local news when it happened, and then off and on for years. And anniversaries.

Kinda makes you wonder who’s in there.

Can’t wait to play Fatal Fury for 10 minutes and then get bored. No shade against FF, just depression things.

Yep. Hardly any of that registers as a blip on the mass market. People have been calling for Nintendo to give up on hardware and just make games for other platforms for decades. Then the DS line happened. And then the Wii. And then the Switch. Each one pushed the boundaries of what the gaming space could be, despite the spec nerds raging at the lack of horsepower.

Nintendo does a lot of shady shit, but once Sega exited the market they were the only true gaming company left in the console space. PlayStation? Xbox? Just a small part of larger corporate empires.

I’m fucking thrilled that Steam picked up on the hybrid format. Not everyone wants to screw around with maintaining a PC. I was in corporate IT for 25 years and want nothing to do with any of it anymore. Enormous PC game library, consolized experience, and a big push to Linux, all with the Deck? That’s awesome from every angle. It’s always good to have more options. And if they can sell a hundred million more units, Nintendo might start having a problem. Until then, I’m pretty sure they’re just going to continue to print money.

People have been conditioned to understand numerical console increases for over two decades now thanks to the PlayStation.

And they even managed to do it while Microsoft counted to potato.

I had a coworker who was convinced that the whole thing was a scam. That it was just an upgraded Wii with a weird controller. So he went out and got a secondhand Wii U console. Just the console. Gave it to his kids for Xmas. Got mad when it didn’t work. Eventually got a gamepad (and maybe the power brick? I don’t remember if it’s cross compatible) and ended up spending more than buying it new.

I’m pretty sure even he can follow Switch -> Switch 2.

I’ve got small dumblights that are motion-activated and run on AAA batteries. Bought one for the bathrooms specifically so getting up in the middle of the night to take a leak doesn’t involve turning on the full light. They worked well enough (and they were cheap enough) that we now have like 6 in various places.

I bought a cheap silicone grip case for my 3DS XL. Night and day difference. Not so cheap was the Satisfye Switch grip, but they both make playing handheld so much more pleasant. Both *systems sacrificed ergonomics for portability. Adding grips reduces portability in exchange for ergonomics. I’m okay with that.
