Maybe that is what it was that I am thinking of.

I could swear my original US release had some weird combo of the two. I gave away 90% of my PS1 and PS2 games last year so I can't check now, but I really think it had the main image shown from the Japanese release on the case. Maybe the image was shown in game on the loading screen or something and I am just remembering it wrong.

They have these at my local Whole Foods too, I was horrified the first time I saw it. I have yet to see a single person use these devices, and I hope that is the common behavior.

Thanks for reminding me that Megaman actually talked like that in the awful Saturday morning cartoon I watched as a kid (Captain N: The Game Master)

Was the TV you got from Sceptre? I got one recently as a dumb TV and it was quite cheap. No complaints thus far, but also managed my expectations in display and speaker quality from a $150 TV.

They include every service in the world, but if there is no headphone jack they can get fucked.

The issue is that it was the DE originally, some people (myself included) just didn't fully get the memo when it changed like 15 or so years ago. I haven't used the KDE DE since before that change, so I get how it could be missed. Rebranding is hard, even years later. I am sure many people think KFC still stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken too.

This looks great, but I also understand why you got rid of it. I had to do the same and gave away all of my retro systems and CRTs all the way back to my Atari 2600. It just took up too much space for how little it was being used so I wanted that stuff to be in the hands of someone that would hopefully enjoy it.

Reminds me of the informal study where people kept choosing pizza that came in more/smaller slices because they thought it was more pizza.

Definitely not you, they absolutely do this with snaps and have for a while. This was the main reason I stopped using Ubuntu.

I've seen a few caps like this, maybe not more impractical. I think it is asking to rip the stem right out of the switch or tear the whole socket out, but hey, what do i know?

Not exactly, when Crunhbang development ceased Crunchbang++ aka #!++came out and that distro is currently maintained. As far as I can tell #!++ is more of the same, which is a good thing. I had to retire my tired old eee pcs a long while back, so the NUC I replaced it with was fine with standard Debian since it had 16x the ram.

I was always a fan of crunchbang when I used a couple of eee pcs as servers. It ran very light.

It just barely makes the cut off since it came out in 99, but Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is my favorite strategy game of all time. It even managed to get a Linux port and you can get it on GOG. I was excited when Civ: Beyond Earth was announced that it would be a true successor, but sadly it wasn't even close.

I'd have said Twisted Metal 2, but the first game was still very fun.

When my local arcade was shutting down around 2000 or so I almost bought their 4 player Gauntlet machine for really cheap. I had to decline once I realized that I didn't have a way to get it home and my front door was too small to fit to through.

I still have my copy, but come on, this game is bad and should feel bad.

Great, now I'll have the music from this game stuck in my head all day

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Edit: nevermind, this was already posted. I literally did a search on the page first and it didn't match for some reason.

My "rack" consisted entirely of old laptops, two of which were eeepcs, for years and it worked great. I replaced them all with a single NUC later heh
