Yeah don’t be surprised if you find an old family member under all of that after Christmas.

I think they’re confusing it with Fourecks.

Nice to meet you, Gregório Felipe. 👍

Then it’s the equivalent of 2 Texan cups (or 2 and 4/13ths Federal cups).

Yeah Usenet was crap for binary downloads long before the BitTorrent protocol was invented.

It’s just so under the radar that it continues to plod along.

I want to play Arkanoid using it.

True.

I agree but I think fundamentally the smart tv hardware is so cheap to bundle in (and gives them hope of revenue) that it probably doesn’t add to the price.

Just set the default HDMI input to something else and ignore.

I agree. The Wii U was great fun. The second screen was great for off-TV play and for local multiplayer.

Not only was it terribly marketed, but Nintendo had trouble getting the 3DS to sell and put all their energy into saving that. This left the Wii U with a lack of games at launch.

Combine that with EA dropping Nintendo because they refused to adopt Origin as their online platform, and it was doomed from the start, whether the hardware was good or not.

Edit: and the gamepad was more comfortable to hold than the Switch, ironically.

Microsoft were monopoly seeking/abusing pricks in the 80s/90s/00s but I had just about started to accept that maybe they had changed. Accepting open source and open standards, and competing on their merits in the gaming world.

I was wrong. They’re not as powerful as they were 20 years ago but, having seen this email, their tactics seem unchanged.

Did you mean PS2? There’s about a decade between N64 and PS3.

After launch. Obviously it’s a rule of thumb though, and not a cast iron date.

TBH I think I first heard it on the retro hour podcast. Thought about it, and yeah it does roughly work out right for me.

I think it might also depend on your age though. Probably someone who is 15 now sees the Wii or even Wii U as retro, whereas I’m an 80s kid.

I like the “20 year rule”. So, in this case, not quite yet. :)

I have found my people.

My kids still ask me stuff that they should be capable of searching for themselves.

I mean, it’s nice to still be needed, but they’re mid-teens now and if search engines are too much effort then good luck surviving in the real world. 😂

(Kids, if you’re reading this many years in the future, I do love you, I promise. 😘😄)

It must be client-specific as the . isn’t part of the URL for me (Thunder/iOS)

They’re velcro-backed.

Good luck getting the ignorant masses to mask up these days.
