Neat. The original was late enough into the NES lifecycle that I missed it altogether having moved to the flashier SNES by then -- which seems like what happened with the game with most publishers outside of Japan.

Looking at gameplay video of the original, they were clearly squeezing everything they could out of the NES for it. I'm going to have to check it out.

I wonder how the sequel will be.

Chromium is open source. Chrome is not. Open source also doesn't mean that you can't charge for the compiled binaries. But that isn't my point. My point is that the reason it's free is that you're actually paying for it through the value of Google tracking and storing everything you do, but as a society have don't have to structure services this way.

It doesn't have to be free. People used to pay for licensed software with money instead of their private data. We can do that again, or there's still open source options like Firefox and it's derivatives.

Last week, but that asshole had it coming!

For what it's worth, I agree with you and people are absolutely taking their anger out on your reasonable position.

We're at a point in our fight against a Trump-brand fascism where anything not outright attacking him can be misconstrued as support when the reader is angry enough. He is deserving of this anger, but we humans often take out that anger on the closest perceived target. In this case, your message.

I remember that explanation too. Additionally, in some cultures putting money directly into the hand of another person is frowned upon for various reasons.

My life too, and the cat in the photo resembles mine. Having a 3D printer in the house means having to be constantly vigilant about small plastic bits not missing the trashcan because otherwise my idiot will try to eat them and then puke them up somewhere.

Are you me? I've been saying this same basic thing for years now. I get that language evolves, but I don't care for this permutation of "retro"

He's old, so that's every time he sits down now

Look, I hear what you're saying. I'm disgusted by the way Trump faced almost no repercussions for January 6th with so much damning evidence against him.

Last time he literally tried to have his own VP killed by a mob working under his direction while he sat and watched Fox News and refused to respond to the Capitol being attacked.

Even if he tries that again, Biden will call out the National Guard immediately, and I imagine that they will be prepared for a repeat attack this coming January anyway.

Things will not go down the same way again.

He's going to find that a tall order when he's not an elected official this time.

Those were simpler times. Now it's the Time of Simps.

He's robbing our poor, starved healthcare system of revenue that is rightly theirs!

Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just buy a pound of salt and skip the middleman?

I want one where Harry has turned to the dark side.

"You were supposed to destroy Voldemort, not join him!"

I recommend the Wii U HD version of Twilight Princess through Cemu at this point.

If the company is doing this poorly under his leadership, why is it he gets to keep his obscene pay while others lose their jobs, their healthcare and maybe their homes?

I'm beyond sick of our class structure.

I appreciate you bringing that up because I had also read the inaccurate version of that story before.

I do not appreciate you taking away my favorite reason to hate Edison, but I'll get over it.
