But then how will we maintain the ocean breeze scent?

I like my steam deck. It plays basically everything on steam whether it’s verified or not. Even games that don’t work well on it will still run.

Poor battery life means it’s tethered to the wall unless you’re just emulating or playing low end games.

The switch 2 will be cheaper on the secondary market and they will make a “lite” version that is cheaper or a “pro” version that makes the original cheaper. It never makes sense to buy a brand new console outside of keeping up with the joneses.

Friend Besto!

Jimmy Neutron taught me

I feel like the other option is a Jacob’s Ladder experience

And this is why I don’t care about most small businesses. Unless they are a co-op or a genuine charity the vast majority are run by people like this.

They are puzzle games with a visual novel for the framing device

The robots in China are cheaper, especially when there are tariffs to import them.

The Doom Patrol hits that plot point a lot harder than the X-Men. The tv series is excellent.

This isn’t facebook, no one cares if he follows esoteric religious traditions.

The problem is that he won’t follow legal requirements that protect us normal people.

If you are as smart and educated as Carl Sagan, I’m sure weed isn’t doing the heavy lifting.

I want kids. I can’t afford to have kids.

No it’s dr who

No, those are the drunk drivers, the angry ones specifically.

Look at this photograph

Please go watch Twin Peaks. It’s one of the best TV shows ever!

Except the child slave labor part would go away.

That’s the neat part, the republicans are trying to repeal child labor laws.

I’m being cheeky. I really just mean it’s an old technology that anyone could use and doesn’t.

If you want a real answer. Sega died because of the conflict between its American branch that was pushing the 32x (putting the genesis on life support when 5th Gen consoles like the 3DO were already releasing) and the Japanese parent that botched the Saturns release. ($100 more than the ps1, and retailers weren’t told about the initial exclusivity with KB toys so other retailers didn’t order any.) The Saturn was also hard to develop for and the Dreamcast had no piracy protections when it finally did release.

Basically a series of bad internal communication and multiple failures to keep up with consumer and retailer expectations and demands. They still made some of the best hardware of all time. The Dreamcast is a near perfect console the only gripe anyone has now is that the controller isn’t particularly comfortable.

A side note. The Xbox brand is the spiritual successor to Sega. The developers of the OG Xbox took a lot of design inspiration from the Dreamcast and helped to implement a windows compatibility layer for the Dreamcast before the Xbox was in development. Xbox also targets the same demographic of sports gamers and middle/high school boys.

The closest we got were all the hardware revisions for the pcengine and sg 1000. The newer versions of all of those flopped. Like someone said it ends up splitting the player base. It really only works when you kill off the old console so players are forced to move up. See the GameCube -> Wii -> Wii U (which failed mostly because people thought it was an addon like the 32x.)

That said the n64 was the most powerful console of that generation. It was developed for Nintendo by sgi, who did a lot of work on early computer graphics for movies. A 32x equivalent could have pushed it to Dreamcast territory.

This is why Sega needs to come back. They had Hall effect sticks on the Saturn and Dreamcast.
