The music in the original is fantastic.

Bless you, must have hit “+” somehow, “-” fixed it and turned back on the autoframerate skip. Been a rough summer and losing my “zone out” retro gaming time was going to crush me. Thanks for the extra 1UP

The good news is, with the fed lowering interest rates the cycle of speculation investment will pick right up in a year or two where it left off for a whole 30 months of higher interest. I can’t believe they’re dropping it so soon, but we can’t have unsustainable businesses held to account can we? Better to destroy savers and fixed income elderly.

They really pick from the bottom of the barrel to fill those roles.

Just wait until it’s privatized, it’ll definitely improve.

TBF, if you take the Appropriate Good class you can earn a “Honored speaker” status where you the the opportunity to apply for the chance to be approved to talk for up to 4 minutes to an “action board” that meets annually on odd numbered years if the moon is waxing on the 15th.

It’s working spectacularly for our robber barons, but housing affordability across the country looks like Toronto, our adult literacy rate is 75% with reading levels for those that can read at a 6th grade level back when that meant something, our voting participation rate is below 50%, and 50 people control the wealth more than the bottom 330 million.

Yes, working spectacularly if you only watch S&P500

Canada probably just needs to privatize a few more things, loosen regulations on the poor corporations and weaken education. At least, that’s what we’re trying in the US to “fix” our issues.

Also, you can’t vote in many regressive, discriminatory states but they’d like up in their Klan hoods to vote this felon into office as there is no restriction on becoming president. Rules for thee

You need to chat with Adrian Wapcaplett, he’s a partner at a marketing firm that can sell just about anything.

Pool poopers always embolden others. Look the water is already brown, I didn’t do it, speaking of colors we need to get back to our “rich traditions” and pretend we all came from northern Europe and restrict immigration and btw, our kids need more guns and prescription drugs aren’t accessible enough and why do we have all these social programs draining national productivity…

Zero tolerance for these fuckers, they will not stop once they get a platform and will destroy your society, economy and democracy.

All it took in the US was Mr. Fucking Rogers to go before Congress to get them to fund PBS. It’s been aggressively targeted since and now the Corp/Conservatives are using culture wars bigot dogwhistles to say it advances LGBTQ causes, since those have also been programmed into right wing news to be synonymous with pedophilia. Interestingly, or course, most of the flock goes to church but I digress…

Don’t let them defund it.

The effects of having low grade stressor like that, combined with non-federal sick leave nor vacation and predatory corporate labor laws are what you witness in the US every day. Precipitously declining mental health for everyone, reduced social and coping skills. Commonplace violence and rage and incredible rates of anxiety and depression and resultant medication.

That Zelda is on my list for sure. I’d add super Mario world as well, just like Zelda did, it introduced so many new mechanics and the maps were so HUGE you could spend absolute weeks trying to unlock all of certain areas.

NBA Jam on SNES.

Wolfenstein or Doom first time really seeing a 3d game. Being absolutely terrified of the ambient noises in Doom.

Half-Life for sure. Relatively intelligent soldier opponent tactics, puzzling real puzzles in 3d for the first time not just point and shoot.

Goldeneye 007. Trying to figure out how to aim, so slowly and ineptly. Then one of your friends says let’s try multiplayer and 4 years later…

Warcraft 2 on dial-up with your friend across town.

GTA 2. Discovered almost by accident and the top down view was so great. Never cared much for the rest of the series.

Super Bomberman.

Excellent, will check that out.

Follow-up No Stupid Question: what does matting look like?

That’s helpful to understand, thank you.

All the vacation rental places are appalling. Cleaning few. Pool few. Resort fee. Service fee. Processing fee.

Restaurants are starting on the cash grab a few years back, mostly the ones owned by private equity firms. Mandatory service fee couched as a gratuity, which it most often isn’t, so the guest and the servers get fucked.

Not to take anything away from the classics that were built up on,I think sports games really came up a level in visuals in N64 as far as playability with the 3rd dimension added. Being able to actually have depth made soccer, football, hockey, all those games so much richer; instead of only side scrolling you could view a field, rink or court from the short end view, zoom in and out on play level, etc.
