I wonder if it was more effective in his era, late 19th century? Leisure travel wasn’t as much of a thing then, especially to other countries/continents, and the tourism industry didn’t exist nearly as much

Imagine coloring in a country on the map and then the borders change; like this map doesn’t show South Sudan as independent. Would they go through the trouble of getting the map updated?

Maybe a matter of taste; that remains my favorite layout. Massive primary button, smaller secondary button, tertiary buttons wrapped around and in easy reach of the others. Add a left shoulder button and it’s basically perfect to me.

Let’s gooooo!!

I guess this is part of the fallout of losing that lawsuit against Qualcomm?

It could help you get to space

I, for one, welcome the chaos this will probably bring Dallas and hope McCarthy lands at another team with ownership that is less intrusive. One interesting tidbit (IIRC) is that no one has won a Super Bowl as head coach for two different teams, so it’s always interesting to see when a winning coach moves to a new team.

I think I used to use this website to try to figure out when I should go to sleep based on when I needed to wake up. I eventually stopped because I got to where I could figure out 6, 7.5, or 9 hours + 15 minutes on my own (or even 3 or 4.5 hours if I made poor decisions about when I’m going to sleep). It seemed to help.

Chicken and waffles are about as authentically southern as General Tso’s chicken is authentically Chinese.

Oh. How’s it taste?

Is that a Douglas Adams quote? That feels like Douglas Adams to me.

What if the secret ingredient in Slurm is people?

Y’all gives modern English the second person plural it would otherwise be missing

I haven’t bought any of the new consoles; the only thing I’ve seen come out that’s interested me but I can’t play on the previous generation is Microsoft Flight Simulator. Maybe someday I’ll get a Series X for that, but I think I’d enjoy the experience on PC better anyway (really curious to try it in VR with my Quest) so I think I’d rather spend the money on building a new gaming PC that can handle that.

I’m not consciously cutting off any generation, I just haven’t had the time for as much gaming now and I haven’t had the budget to pursue the latest and greatest, especially if I probably won’t have time to play it anyways.

We did, for both games, although we didn’t play Operation much. It kind of lost its novelty fast, especially with the buzzer the TV commercials conveniently left out.

We played a lot of Mouse Trap, though. Everyone complaining about the trap not working half the time seems to have missed that that was the point. You might land in the trap zone and have one of your siblings get the chance to trap, but it wasn’t a guarantee that you’d be trapped. If it was going to work every time what was the need to even do all the building? At that point it’s just a game with an instant lose square. If the trap worked or failed you needed to reset it for the next attempt, and as part of that reset you could adjust or fix any parts that had failed. Or maybe try to subtly sabotage it again if you’re worried you might be next…

Despite including a numpad like the Intellivision controller, the GameStation Go doesn’t currently include any games from Atari’s recently purchased Intellivision library. But [YouTube reviewer who was hands-on at CES] GenXGrownUp says including those titles—alongside Atari Lynx and Jaguar games—is not “off the table yet” for the final release.

I only know of the Atari Lynx from reading about the history of Chip’s Challenge but I’d be interested in seeing that.

I only know of Kat; there are others?
