    The Stupid Purchases thread!

    Wait, they're charging money for emulators now? You know RetroArch is on Steam for free, right? And also that you can hop outside of the Steam UI and download more standalone emulators from Flathub.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    That, and the political momentum from years of being one of Obama's outspoken critics. Everyone else in the Republican primary that year was a nobody to 90% of the country. Trump stepping into the ring was tantamount to having a Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert ticket on the ballot in 2008 (remember...

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Reminder that while a purpose-built nuclear bomb has more destructive power, a meltdown is far more damaging in the long term because there's so much more fissile material. They were already rebuilding Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the '50s; there's a whole zone around Chernobyl that will remain...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    And two of which were shaped in a way that made it clear which direction they were relative to A. So you see one of those kidney bean shapes on the screen, even all alone, you know which one they mean. If anything they didn't take this far enough; they could have had two more kidney beans...

    Sonic The Hedgehog

    I do, because we should have moved on to Blu-Ray sets by now. Aside from people who still have DVD drives in their laptops, who specifically wants to buy TV shows in a format that only looks good on a tube TV?

    The Stupid Purchases thread!

    Oh right, that. I think I heard something about that. Something like, you're more likely to survive getting hit if it just throws you forward than if you roll over the hood (and possibly over the whole car, land on the road in a heap, and get run over by the next car in line)? I've never been...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    And if you can use web forums, you'll resent Mastodon for not just being one.

    The Stupid Purchases thread!

    Fun fact: pop-up headlights only existed because it was illegal to make headlights in a nonstandard shape until sometime in the '80s, and for sports cars that interfered with their sleek, aerodynamic shape. I don't know if they ever went on to ban pop-ups for safety reasons, or if they just...

    The "I am officially old" thread!

    Or more specifically, the video game spinoff of a full-on Onion clone, the Hard Times. Or did they shut that down when they found out Hard Drive was the only part of it that was getting any traffic?

    Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

    Mark my words, this is ultimately going to lead to laws that do away with gender-segregated restrooms altogether, and a generation later we'll wonder why we ever had them in the first place. Nothing does a better job of exposing how stupid a rule is than putting in effort to enforce it.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    So probably they were being inundated by archive bots run by people who are all simultaneously trying to preserve people's tweets before all the inactive accounts get wiped. I thought I read somewhere that the entirety of Twitter is already being archived by the Library of Congress. Not to...

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    I have now seen the thing. What the hell did I just watch? Was this even a movie? It felt like one right up until they arrived in the Mushroom Kingdom, and after that it was like reading some eight-year-old's fanfiction where every single sentence is "And then Mario did so-and-so just like in...

    Steam summer sale is on!

    There really needs to be a word for when one company isn't a monopoly, but they might as well be due to the gross incompetence of every single one of their competitors. Because it happens surprisingly often in the business world.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    There are hardly any sites left to embed into. Independent forums like this are a dying breed, and Twitter embeds have never been supported by any competing social networks.

    Steam summer sale is on!

    Well, yeah. It was clear that flash sales were gone forever as soon as they made "I didn't know it was going to go on sale in a few days" a valid reason for refunds. (Which is still a baffling decision, by the way. FOMO is literally the whole point of sales, and I don't think any other business...

    So many other sites have done the "lock people out of seeing anything unless they register" crap, it was probably only a matter of time before Twitter hopped on the train. Hope they like never showing up in search results again. What's odd is that embeds still work, but I'm sure that's the next...

    So I am making a video game.....

    The goal, I think, was to get them to buy the magazines that just told them the solutions. "Pay-to-win" is not remotely a new phenomenon.

    Old Meme Music You Still Like Unironically

    He also did the "Ariel Needs Legs" comic. Also his sister was one of the first furry artists I discovered over on SheezyArt. I have no idea if she's still around; SheezyArt sure isn't. Also, content: Remember Robot Unicorn Attack, and the memes it spawned, especially once My Little Pony became...
