I look forward to the future WiiUWiiU 🚨!

Maybe I am just an old nostalgic fart but I have games that I own that are over 30 years old that I still have access to and regularly play and that’s how I like it.

I personally don’t at all see any benefit to the consumer that subscription based gaming provides. Arguably you can access more games for less money, but if video streaming is anything to go by (increased prices, less content across more and more services, ads creeping back in etc), that value proposition won’t last long.

I don’t think there are that many bots here because of [reason 1], [reason 2], and [reason 3].

And I for one am certainly not a “goes against OpenAI use policy".

Lots of good and relevant reading here:

Stardew Valley was ambitious and look how that turned out!

I always liked the term “classic shooter”.

excuse some people make to justify paying for it

console users want to justify using a console

Well that escalated quickly.

The ability to breathe underwater - or if that is too much of an upgrade to ask for, the ability to hold your breath for much longer periods of time so that we could spend significant time underwater.

Especially seeing as the planet’s surface is over two thirds water!

Brussels sprouts in the airfryer are amazing - but pretty much any vegetables go well, are quick, easy and healthy. If healthy is not your thing, anything in the frozen aisle (chips, hash browns, onion rings, chicken nuggets and fish fingers, etc) are also incredibly easy and always work.

Except that movie is where those cliches began!

I don’t know about that. I have been wearing the same semi expensive watch daily for over 10 years and there is not even a scratch on the face despite having bumped and knocked it countless times. Worth mentioning that a watch repairer can replace most parts to get it looking good as new relatively easily if it came down to it.

Sunglasses on the other hand, I also go cheap - but that’s because it is much easier to lose them then something attached to your wrist! Haha

Why not just use a QR code scanner that shows you the link before you browse to it?

What items AREN’T better than they used to be?

There is absolutely an abundance of cheap crap options out there but almost everything has a much better equivalent available today.

It’s actually a fairly common thing in Australia - otherwise known as a spaghetti jaffle (jaffle is a type of toastie for the uninitiated) - and they are AWESOME!

Devs have gotten lazy

You mean projects no longer factor in the time or prioritise this kind of optimisation, right?

I don’t know if I am right but I am of the opinion that Cybersecurity should be considered a mastery branch on top of basic engineering skills. But it feels like there are so many Cybersecurity experts who do not understand enough about the underlying engineering concepts to be effective in their role.

Ha, I was going to say she sounds too smart for him!

Maybe all this time your honey actually tasted like inexpensive cheese and you have just picked up on it?

It generates the blurst of code!
