I mean sites that were once zero dollars to read, then decided they should cost money even though they didn't actually get any better or offer anything that was actually worth more. AS IN, the two most notable that I can think of, SI dot com and CNN dot com. SI was an institution for decades...

I'll start with four-ish, from popular to not so much: Sega Game Gear - the tech capabilities of this thing never cease to impress me. The Treasure stuff, the Aleste games, PD Mini, a bunch of others I'm forgetting. It was/is awesome. Atari Lynx - graphics capabilities of it are still pretty...

THIS is going to be very weird and eclectic. Most years there's like one or maybe two games that make you want to give every single dev involved a good solid cock punch, but 2024, fuck, bad. Anyway, two categories, first is just mostly hostility toward the player base, second is telling your...

As sort of alluded to in my whining about bad games thread (the Senua one, the one that will make you want to kill yourself like she does). They're going multi-platform wherever they can, more and more. Changing their game division's actual name ("Microsoft!" not "Xbox!") And probably most...

In order of what people probably played because people have bad taste getting ever worse and I also have more negative shit to say about the first few, fuck off: -Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: I love Squeenix. They close studios at a rate second only to Microsoft when their games "underperform"...

Not very good, regardless of swim-lessons. Don't care about the black lady PC, the rest of the game seems to be utter shit at about 5 hours in. Not really making much argument around do the light don't do the light. Srsly would have thought Alan Wake/Control sequel would have been better than...

Watched a handful of movies lately where "I can't swim!" is a key plot point. At first I was like bullshit, everyone can swim. Then I saw an article on CNN where the author lamented the fact that their parents had both drowned and they also couldn't swim and not swimming was going to cause...

Maybe I'll try fantasy pickleball someday but nah on any more NFL, my bad.

Lately noticed that between my ragged-ass carpet and my near decade-old Air Max 95's, my shoes were not going well. Feet fucking killing me (also I am old, about to be 43, doesn't help). Worn Nikes for so long that I had never really thought much at all about other brands but finally realized I...

Anyone get one? Worth it (*coughnoobviously*)? I have a Meta Quest 2 which I affectionately refer to as the Beat Saber machine. Got it before the price increase so it wasn't THAT much of a waste. Horizon looks sort of cool but not $550 out of my pocket cool. Educated numbers showing that...

SSIA (h/t 'Sage). Interpret as you will, I'm genuinely curious to hear thoughts/opinions.

I know it's a weird thread title, but I think it's the best word for it- I've been looking (not very hard) for a U.S. Batman and Robin The Arcade Game on Saturn for a while now at a decent price. One gets posted, looks okay in the pictures that are present but no pictures of the disc and the...

So this morning at about 9:30 I get the text that Amazon sends you when your order is shipped, except I didn't order anything. So I thought, huh, maybe someone else typed in the wrong phone number by mistake (of course that wasn't it). Figured I should check my Amazon account to see if...

Like this, but IRL: I was in fifth grade and I was on the playground at recess. Fourth grader named Richard is just jogging toward the field to play soccer or something, and his path takes him just in front of Megan and her friend. For whatever reason, Megan kicks her foot out just perfectly...

Trying to hire some entry-level maintenance-type staff, and it's surprisingly difficult. Anyone else trying to find people and ending up with awful applicants? So far, I've had all of the following: -one guy who claimed that he had zero convictions but actually had about eight or ten, several...

Or whatever the word is, you know what I mean. I've always kind of dabbled in them off and on, then recently I finally "got" it with Dark Souls Remastered. Put 50 hours into it and beat it and damn those things can suck you in. I'm halfway or 2/3 through 3 now, and after that I'm thinking I'll...

So you gonna have to get your Iced Americano at that ghetto place down the street where it's still cool to call white people honkies. Maybe this will be as effective as when they tried to ask each and every customer what he thought about race relations in the U.S.

I'm curious if this shit is as common for everyone else as it seems to be for me. Got my credit card number stolen a couple years ago. Some asshole stole the number and then started charging it on the opposite side of the state, luckily my CC company flagged the charges and didn't hold me...

I can think of a few occasions when someone, always a guy come to think of it, has a voice that just says PLEASE kick me in the balls I'm a prick. Couple guys who used to work here, one in particular real bad. Then a guy who works for a supply company came through today and his voice made me...

First, do you ever wonder if you have any repressed memories? Like how do I know I didn't get raped by the mailman when I was eight, since I obviously would have repressed the shit outta that?Or like when you have half-recollections and think, hmm, did that happen, was it a dream, or am I just...
