MY new Tesla? Doubt it. Considering I’m unemployed due to this clown administration and I don’t tend to upgrade much of anything, let alone a vehicle, unless/until the old one no longer functions.

- Comment on What If History Had Taken a Different Path? 1 week ago:
I’m too lazy to look up the details now, but I’m pretty sure the SNES almost sort of did nearly have an add-on. Sony and Nintendo were looking to create a CD-ROM add-on / upgrade for the SNES. I somewhat remember the rumors from back in those days and I was, at the time, very excited about it. Granted, my parents wouldn’t have been able to afford it, so who knows if I would have gotten to play it. I’m still bummed that I never got to play the Sega CD or the 3DO. Practicality and foresight aside…
I think a CD-based SNES could have been pretty cool, especially if there were some additional technical upgrades (i.e. updated processor / 32-bit / etc). I suspect that the library wouldn’t have leaned so heavily into full-motion video like the Sega CD, and certainly the first party Nintendo titles wouldn’t have gone that route. SNES had some great RPGs and fighting games and tons of amazing first party titles, so long as the system had enough RAM, those genres would have benefited from more storage. Had there been extra processing power, that would have been a nice step up as well.
On the flip side, Nintendo hardware is basically just a door to the Nintendo software experience. Lots of great stuff, don’t get me wrong, but also lacking. So, the fact that the Sony collaboration fell through and ultimately resulted in the Playstation probably worked out so much better for the video game industry and gamers.

On the one hand, yes, yes, yes, absolutely.
On the other hand, way too often people are absolutely vile here and nobody sticks up for themselves or for others. Really a shame that r-word-it bullshit behavior is often times totally accepted and approved and even rewarded here.

This is my partner’s behavior, even when his kids have/had friends over. No amount of coaxing or attempting to shame altered the behavior. But to give him credit, wearing briefs (aka tightie whities in my part of the world) is 110% improvement over my stepdad’s behavior. He was a “sleep walker” who slept nude. I thank the heavens and David Bowie for this, but I only ever saw him nude once, it was from behind, and in near complete darkness.

Wish I could but I’ve avoided these despicable “businesses” like the plague for decades by virtue of being too poor to afford them so I have no idea because I literally don’t recall the breadsticks from decades ago when a date took me there trying to impress me.

- Comment on Silksong announced for 2025 on the Nintendo Direct 3 weeks ago:
For me, Hollow Knight started out a bit rough, got fun and interesting, but ultimately, I lost interest in trying to finish. There were parts which were a lot of fun, but eventually it became nothing more than a chore. And I’ve got too many other REAL chores to let a game like this stress me out. So I set it aside without finishing it.
Despite that, I’m looking forward to this sequel. I likely won’t be a day one buyer (but who knows???), but I’m still pretty sure I will eventually play it. I’m hoping there are some nice game play and story improvements, but even more of the same could be nice.

- Comment on Max Streaming ‘Enshittifies’ Further, Removes Classic Looney Tunes 4 weeks ago:
Probably just a temporary hitch, but I tried to use the app today to look for some Little Britain content. I’m certain that a decade+ ago, HBO carried Little Britain episodes. I was under the impression that Max was basically rebranded HBO and Cinemax in crappified app format.
Tried to open the app, got a loading screen for well over a minute. Closed it and tried to open it again. Waited another minute and it finally showed the profile selection screen. I clicked on my profile and got a completely useless error message, so I clicked on my partner’s profile and it worked. Clicked the up button a few times to get to the search screen, nothing happened. Clicked again, and it finally registered the first few click PLUS the newest click, so it overshot the search icon. Finally got it back to search and then clicked the microphone button so I could speak rather than type. It completely did not understand “Little Britain” and instead searched “Britain britain” with no relevant results. Tried again, and it failed harder. Ended up having to type in Little Britain manually. So 10 minutes later after having the thought that I’d like to watch Little Britain, I finally get the results. Turns out the show isn’t available to watch anymore (or else the search failed, hard to know for sure). Terrible experience.
This should be an embarrassment. I would be embarrassed if I had developed some bullshit like this.
- Comment on Not today 4 weeks ago:
Back in late 2023 or early 2024, I was doing chat support with one of the major US e-retailers due to a return & refund situation that I was honestly expecting to be a problem because that type of thing pretty much always is for some reason.
I ended up getting escalated to a higher tier tech named Muhammad who was miraculously able to quickly address the problem that his peers seemingly could not. At the end of our interaction, Muhammad thanked me for my patience and kindness, and replied something along the lines of “see you on the other side.”
For some reason that random and otherwise meaningless expression has stuck with me ever since. Hardly a week goes by without me thinking about it at least once.
It was a reminder that our time here is limited. And while I’m not a big believer that there is another “side” like I assume someone named Muhammad believes, it was still somehow comforting and an important reminder of perspective.

If it’s got platformer elements, then it’s a platformer, right? Yes? Then Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is it for me.
I won’t say it’s my favorite, but I didn’t see it mentioned, yet, and it definitely deserves at least one mention: Earthworm Jim

I’m with you, hon. I totally get the cliche of womens’ fashion and the lack of adequate pockets. I just don’t get how these photos are at all related. At best, these vultures look like stereotypical flashers in a trench coat exposing themselves to strangers than anything.

You might consider adding a couple eggs to that. Since you can afford “permasan” and butter, I feel like it’s possible you might even be able to afford the eggs without having to take out a small personal loan.

Oh neat! I used to use Fark, too. I just checked and it’s still around, just looks a bit dead compared to how I remember it from back in the day.
I started using it in the late 90’s or early 2000’s, but I stopped sometime in that date range you mentioned. For me, it was the fact that I got multiple back to temporary suspensions (with no warnings). It was like I couldn’t do anything right and to some extent, it felt targeted and personal.
I don’t even remember them all, but two of the suspensions stick out to me. I got banned for posting the picture of the officially unofficial fark squirrel (i.e. Big Balls). Up until that time, it was basically a Fark meme posted openly and frequently by large numbers of users. I guess advertisers didn’t like it and I didn’t get the memo. Another suspension came when I responded to a homophobic bigot who was arguing against legalizing gay marriage in the USA by telling him “if you believe that, you are an idiot”. Apparently that’s name calling, but using cocksucker as a pejorative against another man was still considered A-Okay.
