  • Super Mario Bros 3 is better than any other game at being Super Mario Bros 3. And I kinda like that. I think it’s neat. I like that I can just play the same game I played when I was 7. Same exact game. Compare that to today, and if your game from today is even playable at all in 30 years, it’s likely going to have changed so much over the coarse of it’s life through updates, that there is no singular version of how to have memories of that game. Maybe you remember a game early in it’s life, and don’t remember some big unpopular update that ruined everything. OR maybe you started playing that game AFTER the big update, and that’s how you feel nostalgic for that game, even if you can admit it’s flaws. And both versions of how you can remember that game would be valid.

    But not Super Mario Bros 3. It is pixel for pixel exactly the game I played as a kid. Always will be. Plus, it’s Super Mario Bros 3. So that helps.











  • I’m honestly surprised trump hasn’t in secret ordered someone to write “the Weinstein Files”. A set of “government documents” about Harvey Weinstein.

    “There. I did it. I released the Weinstein files. Everybody asked for them, and I provided in a great way! Now everybody is happy, and we can all stop asking for the Weinstein Files. Horrible things in those files. Lots of sex stuff. Filthy perverts. But it’s all out there now!”






  • What I see time and time again are people saying “I HAVE TO use Windows at work, but I don’t use it at home”.

    So, logically that means Windows is losing market share to Mac and Linux, right?

    Well, no. What I see over the past 20 years is that people just stopped buying PCs for personal use.

    At this point, it really feels like if you’re over 55, you’re in the minority if you own a PC. If you’re younger than 30, you’re in the minority if you own a PC.

    And for 30-55 year olds, it’s simple. You grew up with PCs, so you’re used to them. Everyone else just sees it as “that thing we use at work”

    So, no. People dropping microsoft from their own personal lives doesn’t mean they switch to linux. It just means they use their cell phone or tablet to browse the web. Because for most people, thats all a pc is anyways. Just a machine to browse the web on.




  • I wouldn’t even call that homophobic to say that even if there hadn’t been evidence. Nobody is saying there’s anything wrong with being on grindr. Well, nobody except the actual conservatives who are on grindr. They really hate their own kind.

    Which is strange, because for all the things people hate conservatives for, being gay isn’t really one of them.
