It was pretty big, and I believe it was Nintendo’s main competitor for a while. Just didn’t quite break out to the rest of the world, and it never got a proper followup

They’re actually really nice, well-made X-COM lites. Great if you don’t want to immediately throw your kids to the Chryssalids.

Rabbids still kinda suck as a concept, but the games are good enough that I can look past it

My votes go for the Amiga and the PC Engine.

The Amiga was tricky to develop for, particularly if you wanted to use all its custom chips to their full potential. So many Amiga games are just questionable ports of Atari ST or even 8-bit home micro games.

The PC Engine was really ahead of its time, but it’s now kind of an obscure little thing, and a bit quaint when put up against the SNES and Mega Drive.

After all, we’re only ordinary men

As someone who was around when it was current, yes, everyone called it PSX.

Nah, we’re all actually talking about the PSX.

There are places that’ll make you a new top for your IKEA desk out of solid wood. Thought about doing that with my UPPSPEL. Functionally it’s fine, but the finish is looking a bit ratty.

I’ll trade you the motorbike for a red paperclip.

The 8bitdo Ultimate 2C is very cheap as controllers go, and is also one of my favourites. Certainly my go-to for general purpose

In that case, I expect him to drink more booze

Ea-Nasir just can’t catch a break

If the new phone is some fantasy device that fits NY exacting requirements, then sure, a new phone. But I would sooner have some more clothes, and for the price of a new phone, I could afford some decent quality stuff.

Could that day be today?

Sacred stones? Imprisoning war???

…Not sure if you’re serious, but it’s an Altered Beast reference. Blood is “I live again”

This is heavy.

I always assumed the Stardew starfruit was a special fruit that just happens to share a name with our starfruit.

I would love to experience X-COM UFO Defense, but the only X-COMs I’ve played to any extent are the two “modern” Firaxis games. Going back to the originals is a real effort, especially without having the manual to hand.

The 10% is Philip K. Dick

That said, a deteriorating Teflon coating can be a hazard

This is my concern. I don’t know if I’m just being too rough with my cookware, but in my experience, non-stick coating (Teflon included) doesn’t tend to last longer than a few months before deteriorating. Which then requires more substantial cleaning to remove stuck-on food, which further damages the coating, and so on and so forth.

Find it’s better to just avoid the stuff entirely, but there’s a lot of cookware that you can’t easily get in a non-non-stick format. Specifically muffin tins and air fryers. I’ll stop there before this turns into a rant…!
