Then fold the $5 bill into a paper crane and sell it for 10 dollars.
Then make a crane out of the 10 and double up again.
You’re a genius, this can go on forever.

In some ways yes and in some ways no.
Data and information are now more widely available than ever. Of course, misinformation is also more widely available than ever.
The new web feels devoid of passion/ humanity. Gone are the days of self funded sites that existed “just because”. Now everything has to generate revenue to stay afloat. I do miss the days where it felt special to be on the Internet, whether you were hosting content or observing it.

I’m in the “they killed third party app support” camp. There was no way I was switching to their app. I quit cold turkey the day API access was shut down.

Elon didn’t program a thing. He paid a crony to do it for him.
- Comment on Looks Like 3DO Might Be Getting An Unofficial Port Of PS1 Classic WipEout | Time Extension 4 months ago:
In loving this sort of alternate reality we’re getting to see with these ports. What if GTA3 made it to the Dreamcast? What if Doom for 32X were more optimized and had better development? What if the power of the N64 was better understood when Mario 64 came out?
All these scenarios and many more are playing out thanks to some wonderful projects. I look forward to seeing how Wipeout might have looked on a console that so badly wanted to be a part of the PSX/Saturn/N64 battle.

How do you differentiate old from new? I can just create a fresh copy of whatever I’m storing and it’ll look new.
- Comment on Was Donald Trump ever cool? 5 months ago:
Rappers used to rap about trying to be like Trump. I can even think of a skit where Method Man had him make a voice memo for him on one of his albums.
People idolized him because of his rich image, unfortunately.

- Comment on Favourite 90s platformer? 5 months ago:
It created a genre. And it was surprisingly competent at what it sent out to do. In hindsight it was a miracle. Brand new technology harnessed to birth the 3D platformer. It was amazingly ambitious all around.
- Comment on Favourite 90s platformer? 5 months ago:
Mega Man X. The first one for SNES.
It was such an evolutionary leap forward from the previous MM games. Everything was bigger and better. The graphics, the music, the controls. It blew my mind at the time.
- Comment on Even as a collector, I've never laid my hands on one of these. 5 months ago:
To think the CD-i, 3DO, and Jaguar were all “next gen” only to have the PlayStation/N64/Saturn (hey it did really well in Japan) absolutely blow their doors off is hilarious in hindsight.
Granted, it was a very uncertain time in gaming. What did the market want? More bits? CD-ROM multimedia adventures? Something you can put on your entertainment center on top of your VCR that isn’t just for the kids? These were all promising directions at one point in time.
Ultimately, the PlayStation and Saturn would come along and refocus on the games themselves, making 64 bit gaming seem irrelevant and essentially killing FMV-based gaming. The arrival of the N64 would solidify this.
It was an interesting time in gaming. Units like the CD-i and 3DO commanded huge sums of money and offered very little back in the way of quality gaming. Some people bought into the hype thinking they were buying into the next generation when the industry took a very different direction.

And how do you determine who gets what they need when a given resource becomes scarce? Everything is finite. Human greed is also real. Do you just take someone at their word that they’re desperate for something when they may not be?
