  • what is the Miiverse?

    It was a sort of social space Nintendo ran on the 3DS and Wii U. Kind of combination chat room and message board with a space where Miis (Nintendo avatars) could "hang out". It could also be used to send messages though games, like you could leave a message as a sort of note in Mario Maker or Splatoon. I thought it was kind of cool, tbh.

    not sure if I'm too old, too young or too poor

    It was shut down in......no. 2017 was not 7 years ago. No.

  • Party A gets 40% of the vote

    Party A wins because they get the majority

    Just going to point out, 40% is not a majority. In this case they have a plurality.

  • In many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap

    And suburban, and urban. I've never lived anywhere that didn't have a cap.

  • I still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.

    Man that was a great phone.

    My plan isn't quite that old, but it's getting up there. They recently increased my price by a few dollars per line. Then they tried to get me to move to a current plan, which turned out to be 20% higher price for less return. I had to try not to burst out laughing at the poor guy's face.

    I've been with TMo for more than 20 years--they're the only carrier I've ever used--but if my price goes up again I'm jumping ship.

  • OK but did it really flop or where they expecting it to sell a morbillion units weekly?

    From another article:

    Sources say that Ubisoft was expecting The Lost Crown to sell similarly to the biggest Metroidvania’s in the market, with millions of units sold in a relatively short space of time. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has sold approximately one million units at the time of writing.

  • We can't even take care of that, how could we care for an Yggdrasil?

    "Mom I want an Yggdrasil"

    "We have Yggdrasil at home"

  • Marvin the Martian as Sauron.

    "Earth shattering kaboom" feels rather apt here.

  • Step 0: Invent the universe

  • Chewbacca is Bigfoot

    There was an out-of-continuity comic where Han Solo crashed the Falcon on Earth; Chewbacca survives and becomes the basis for the Bigfoot legend.

  • Sounds like they’re trying to put out a titanium fire using only a bucket of water.

    I have a new phrase to use in the future.

  • I still don't know if a USB micro or mini is the one that charges my PS4 controller

    It's Micro-B, to be specific.

  • de-lived

    I prefer "inhumed".

  • And the right wingers said, "Well we didn't think it would work!"

    I recall a number of voters who voted in favor of Brexit who were interviewed and said things like "but I didn't think it would actually happen!"

    I also seem to recall a similar sentiment in a case where people voted to strip funding from a local library in Michigan, then were shocked when the library had to close.

  • Don't forget the alt text:

  • Maybe we should chip in and buy a second robot.

    Hear me out: three robots.

  • shit down the government

    I don't know if this was a typo, but it's rather appropriate either way.
