I was really surprised how quick my kids fell in love with Super Mario 3(Super Mario All-stars).
Their cousin played the Switch version and my introduction led them to try and 100% all the classic 2D Super Mario games.

Only if you teach them. My son is playing casual games on Steam and emulated games.
While my son’s friends were talking about new Call of Duty/Fortnite updates. And they’re like 8yos.

You’re worried about child predators on Roblox.
I’m worried about my dummy kids taking my credit card and buying microtransactions.
(We are not the same meme)

Oh what a memory! I remember I was playing Sonic the Hedgehog, where my best friend was playing Zelda Lttp and my crush was playing Doom.
And yeah, when PS1 came out, suddenly we were bringing our own controllers to play Tekken. And then once in a while, go to our one buddy’s house to Oogle Dead or Alive 2 on Dreamcast.
- Comment on Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them 6 days ago:
I have been using standing desks since 2010.
Originally not by choice, because the only spot in the office that didn’t smell like farts was the high tops near the kitchen. The chairs weren’t very good and I was used to standing long hours anyways when I was a server.
I’m still using standing desks. And i love seeing standing desks everywhere.

- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 1 week ago:
Man, I was on that manager side, having to lay people off because of some bad decisions from upper management.
I usually do everything I can, like give them recommendations letters, try to give them as much money as possible that they’re owed… Literally bend over backwards.
Everyone takes that news differently. One guy cursed me out, kicked some shit and stormed out. And I just got up and cleaned it all up because brother, I get it.

Imagine that, but even louder, and moving on normal roads. Should be fun for everyone.
Of course it’ll be fun for me. Im in the airplane, getting to my destination on time.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 2 weeks ago:
There’s been two decades worth of lawsuits because PayPal has a history of withholding revenue and blocking stores from small e-commerce stores.
I’m talking about e-commerce sites selling a board game, making $40k in sales through paypal, and PayPal refuses to give them money.
PayPal’s stance has been, “Fuck you sue us.”
I’m not saying this because I think Peter Thiel, who was one of the creators of Paypal, is a fucking evil villain.

Loss of income is really difficult to sue for. Especially if you’re an indie company in another country, trying to sue an international company. You either sue locally, or open up a office in their nation.
And your case has to be rock solid.
Like tech companies still lose cases around loss of income, even when it’s obvious to the average person that the major company is going out of their way to stamp out competition.

On a road trip, I drove by a farm that sells "Sweet Cron’.
Thinking it was a mistake, I saw more signs bragging about the Sweet Cron they had. So definitely on purpose.

English is my only language and yeah.
- Comment on I explained economics to my nine year old 3 weeks ago:
This is my takeaway from listening to NPR Planet Money.
Economists are never sure about anything, because that’s not how the world works. They only give rough estimations based on the current data, and say words like “maybe” or “high possibility”.
They’re not sith lords.
- Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship 3 weeks ago:
Working at big major companies, email/harassment campaigns work.
Some psychopath got the news journalists on my company because we didn’t have a giant American flag in our campus. We were getting hundreds of emails from randos, were getting review bombed online, and they were even sending letters to the CEO.
We called it flag gate internally. And after a month, there’s that stupid flag.
- Comment on mensa 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, no one “flashes a Mensa card” unless they are a jerk.
One time I made fun of people who do cross fit and someone at the table said “I do CrossFit.” Then I said, “It’s almost as annoying as people who flex over their AMEX card.” And another guy pulled out his AMEX card.
I regret not bringing up a Mensa Card.

I’m curious too!
Literally thought this was a meme about the travel influencers and those people who attend every concert without ever holding down a job.

Love to see this grow.
- Comment on Choose wisely 5 weeks ago:
Like most kids, I was enamored by the 90s Disney animations. So while Pixar was dominating, I got a bachelor’s in 2D animation.
Graduated to no jobs. Animation work is shipped overseas. And the little animation jobs there are were concentrated in a few parts of the US.
Not once have I ever made any income from my background.
Been working on marketing for a decade adding more garbage to this world.

- Comment on Future teachers in Oklahoma! 1 month ago:
In my twenties, I was a teacher. In my thirties, I said fuck that. System is so fucked.
In my state, there was a state level exam to qualify to become a teacher. I don’t know what Oklahoma’s is or what it looks like. What I do know is that it was as hard as the written portion of a drivers test.
Some people speedrun it. I had to take it twice because the phasing always gets me confused. But, it wasn’t difficult at all.

Your welcome! Enjoy your styrofoam cup coffee from a deli that smells of Malboro cigarettes. The sugar has weird moving black things and milk has been left out for 3 days.

They said the same thing in my city.
And surprise surprise, violent crime actually went down.
