And jive like this is why I have absolutely nothing but respect for translators, even if I may sometimes have minor nibbles with some translation choices, it's fuckin hard work.

Japanese people call them cassettes.

COMING SOON TO OWN ON VIDEO CASSETTE

Relatedly, when exactly did people start calling the tapes just 'VHS' or 'VHS tapes' and the players/recorders 'VHS machines' or 'VHS players'? That has to mostly be a retronym that started to be used after VHS became functionally irrelevant after the mid-2000s, yeah? Like I know that there...

I mean technically speaking, VHS is still hanging around - remember I just said that 2016 was when the last company stopped making VCRs. There's still occasionally some special releases of things on VHS. Obviously we are no longer getting every major Hollywood release on VHS and I doubt this...

Yeah these are specifically made as keycaps for mechanical keyboards, not the cheap membrane keyboards you get as e-waste bundled with your prebuilt Dell desktop or buy for like $20 at Walmart.

Probably for people with legacy equipment that used the tapes that they didn't see any need to upgrade to something new.

It kind of blows my mind when I remember that the year Sony stopped selling Betamax tapes and the year the last VCR (for VHS tapes, not Betamax ones) were both the same year despite VHS having handily beaten Betamax in the videotape format war. And that year was literally 2016 too, that's not...

Yeah but that was just to unlock the toys in a now-defunct mobile game, it wasn't taking you to a website or whatever with bios for the characters.

can't do that having to write them in 50 languages means they'll have to be one sentence damn multilingualism, why can't we all just speak latin like god intended

I bet they would have also been made entirely of transluscent plastic to match with the energon-infused weapons thing too. Wouldn't be surprised if that's why the concept got scrapped.

I will say that I'm not too fond of how the 15th Doctor's jacket and trousers are the exact same color and pattern but that's really like my only issue with the costume.

I went to the library today and I got a book I had on hold for over a month and some DVDs. No late fees nowadays for overdue materials so that's cool.

I forgot the Energon Monsters were even supposed to be a thing tbh.

i recently personally made nintendo go bankrupt AMA

Had a weird dream someone made a chat thread in General Discussion and then someone had a literal meltdown in the thread and like half the users got banned and the thread got locked and they were told to just go to this thread instead lol.

i just went to the library to borrow books as a kid i like books

I look at jive like this and I honestly refuse to think people think this looks good. I'm convinced no one actually likes all this RGB crap but no one wants to be the first to admit, it just looks so tryhard and cringe. Like all those stupid gaming laptops from back in the day where they had to...

I went back to my second home and I'm starting to think that monitor I got is not from that PC in the computer room there... I mean a monitor is a monitor but you know when you have a beige PC, beige keyboard, beige speakers, beige printer, and beige scanner in one room that you remember using...
