Aphrodite posted:There were no good games before 2005. I would argue that there were no good games after around 2000. Games are better when they are simple and to the point, not having near unlimited power to create something that tries to please everybody and ends up being a clusterfuck. Unironically the only non-esports games I've enjoyed since that era is simulator games.

I think misandry is real, it's bad, and that it enables TERFs to attack trans women.

Aphrodite posted:There were no good games before 2005. Very few games before that time period are worth playing now tbh so i'll agree with this. i cant play games for nostalgic reasons cause they're just ruined cause they're usually so drat bad compared to modern games. modern games make old games look like turds it's not really comparable to movies or tv

In the great commons at Gaia's Landing we have a tall and particularly beautiful stand of white pine, planted at the time of the first colonies. It represents our promise to the people, and to Planet itself, never to repeat the tragedy of Earth. -- Lady Deirdre Skye, "Planet Dreams"

I just want to say I picked up a raspberry pi and set it up with retropie. I'd never touched linux before but the setup is so ridiculously easy, there are resources out there that cookbook the whole process including connecting an old controller over bluetooth. It can emulate games well up to about PS1 level, has save states, supports wireless controllers, and can do that rewind thing the SNES classic advertises all for about $40. I can even install Kodi as an option in the menu and use as a 1080p media center. It is harder than buy item -> plug in, but not by a lot. That's my advice if you're computer literate.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:phuo: food service, whether in the kitchen or as a server, is like retail but worse in every way Yeah I've worked in retail and hospitality, and retail was fine (99% of people were fine to deal with, work wasn't too hard), but hospitality. Hoo boy. People were way more rude and entitled, my owner bosses were lovely people, I was making way below minimum wage (which is pretty illegal in Australia), and way higher stress overall. I think the biggest point of difference and case for stress is if you're helping someone find an item at a retail store, and they say "oh no actually I meant X", it's no big deal to go get X instead. When that happens with food, it's a way bigger issue.

My 65 and 67 year old parents bought one of these so my niece and nephew can play SNES and NES games at their house when they visit. They're not hard at all.

Collateral Damage posted:Has there ever been a product designed to be collectible that has actually become collectible/valuable? For more recent stuff, there are a handful of Funko Pops that go for $500 and up, and a few even over $1200. There's one specific figure that goes for around $10,000 when it shows up on eBay due to there only being 12 in the world or something.

In Starship Troopers pretty much any service will get you citizenship. Including volunteering to be a janitor or be a teacher. The government pretty much can't reject anyone from giving service, the point is that people need to step up to offer something. Though military is definitely the primary way.
