Implying that the CRT has yet to be improved upon in any material sense. (Okay, maybe in terms of weight.)

I've just realised - Hammond was such a cheapskate that even the seatbelts in the helicopters didn't work properly.

Maybe they're just enthusiastic about the seminal Peter Gabriel album.

Dunno. I feel like if you've used an image from a reputable source under the proviso that you're licensed for it, and it turns out you're not... you may be able to blame Unsplash etc. and just swap the image out.

I remember they were graded in colours. I read them so much they ran out of colours to give me.

Unsplash, Freepik, Pexels, and countless other sites exist where you can get free images with clear licensing.

Tyres and tarmac!

I think the problem is too many people only know how to JavaScript

It uses a pretty nasty slur, true, but in the context of some ignorant jerk who thinks he's better than everyone. I don't believe Knopfler is a homophobe.

Edutainment games are a bit few and far between on consoles - Donkey Kong Jr. Math springs to mind, but it's remarkably dry for a Nintendo game.

The 2600 version is considered extremely bad. (It's not that bad but it's also not arcade-accurate)

There's a SNES version of Ms. Pac-Man which is extremely good, though.

Doesn't even have the usual "we value your privacy" lie.

I wish there was a Windows Server variant that had literally zero GUI, and was just a PowerShell instead. Would be so much mor efficient, especially for things like file servers.

(I'm aware of Server Core, but it's still got a GUI, let's be honest)

You can tell it to use the system version of Wine
