I feel like we were getting scammed in the US then. I, in the US, was paying over $20 for Atari 2600 games and over $50 for some fairly early NES games. I know Mastertronic was mostly for cheap Sega games

That was the first thing that I thought of as well.

Not the point of your story, but when the hell were LPs and video games that cheap? I would think that any time that LPs were that cheap would be before video games even existed.

I don’t know he context of this image, but I love it.

The rpi should have the hdmi port at least, so I suppose you could make a cutout for it.

Edit: ah, never mind, they are using the HDMI port internally to power the tiny screen.

You can still travel, you just won’t get far and might die. Courage!

I just kept them on separate drives, but you make a good point that one shouldn’t underestimate Microslop’s ability to fuck with your shit.

This situation was the reason for me killing off my dual boot system and making it Linux only. I had kept Windows around for a few specific tools and games, but it was a roll of the dice if I could even use it when I needed because of the update situation.

100%, but man these are making me nostalgic.

Yeah, those wasps are assholes, just not quite as much of assholes as yellow jackets. Weirdly enough, I’ve been stung by everything on this list that is capable of doing so including bumble bees. Bees hate me and I hate them, but I still refrain from killing them because we need them around.

It’s almost like the meme died and came back to torment the living.

That’s why the Slate is the only EV I am even remotely interested in at this point. I hope it actually comes out and doesn’t suck.

Interesting, thanks for sharing! This sort of milk isn’t common in the US.

I have that book on my bookshelf. It didn’t make me cry nearly as much as some C++ books.

Wtf, it is usually two to three weeks tops when I get milk at the store.

River City Ransom is one of my favorite NES games of all time. One of my most complete homebrew games (informally called River City Ripoff) was a persistent multiplayer game that was essentially the same game, but with a bigger world. I even used the sprites. I couldn’t ever release it for obvious legal reasons, but it was run to play with some friends when testing it. I wished they had made something like it when they were doing those Steam sequels.

Milk is shelf stable? Maybe some sort milk can be, but not the type that people typically buy. I’ve stopped buying it entirely unless we have a specific recipe because it tends to go bad so quickly.

The “complete” pancake mixes can make some sense for people without a stable living condition because they are shelf stable and just require water. I sometimes buy them and donate them to local food shelves.

Yep, that episode. He died like 100 billions times or something insane. The 12th Doctor had a level of stubbornness that I aspire to lmao.

Awesome idea, but Walter goes through some serious shit.
