You kind of understand where he was coming from.

Absolutely! The short sighted idiocy of this really points out the corporate thinking only about the next Q. This would get maybe a month before the economic crash

Uhhh….

Brinner is awesome! I wish I could get my wife to make it for me.

Laurie Anderson Strange Angels I don’t know why but that album hits me so hard. It’s like nothing else I like but I’ve been know to listen to it on loop for hours on end.

I’ve been using a linux box auto-starting Kodi which is controlled by an MCE remote for about 10-15 years now. Both my partner (who is tech negative, seriously everyday they yell at their work laptop) and 5 year old kid at the time had no trouble with it. I personally love it. With the add-ons and such I’ve basically turned it in to a Home Entertainment Center. I’ve download Lutris and with a little tweaking I’m emulating a ton of old games and I’ve installed the Kodi add-on that lets me integrate Lutris to I don’t have to leave the Kodi environment and bale to desktop is which is great. I’ve also got an add on in Kodi to open Steam in big picture straight from a button on my Kodi favorites. So I can go from playing Slay the Spire on Steam to watch an episode of Scrubs to playing Mario Kart Double Dash in Dolphin, all with out seeing the desktop.
On the other hand I haven’t invested in one of those fancy remotes that lets me power on the PC so before I sit down I got turn on the PC which means the PC sits on a shelf in the living room. But to be honest we often leave it on for days on end, which I suspect racks up the power bills a bit, but lets me just turn on the TV and go. I also haven’t invested in a HDMI - CEC set up so I have to have two remotes one for powering on the TV and a second for everything else. And getting Linux to recognize my 3.1 soundbar is a forking nightmare it still only see it as a stereo soundbar but hey it still sound good.
Over all I really love the Kodi HTPC set up for the heft of added home gaming stuff,but if you’re looking for something more low profile I have a Raspberry PI running OpenElec stuck to the back of my bedroom TV with double-sided tape. OpenElec is a branch of the Kodi main steam for small PCs. The bonus on this is that the Pi’s have built in CEC so you will only need the one remote.

Don’t worry to much I’m sure he’ll be able to apply for refugee status in the USA.

At this point I figure Sam Beckett leaping in to MTG is most reasonable answer.

Get in the Real Life (™) archives. It’s a really beautifully told story.

I’ve got to second The Old Guard. Charlize Theron is seriously bad ass in it. And everyone else is too. That movie is so much better than it has any right to be. It’s like nobody got the memo and just went balls to the wall.

Honestly, the cartridge system was a (pardon the pun) game changer. Sure someone did it first but Atari really made it main stream. It allowed for a lot of what we see today. Sure you were dropping what was about a $1,000 in today’s money on a toy for you and your kids but you could play so many games on it.
The idea that you had a machine in your living room that you could change what it did just by putting in a new cartridge was mind breaking in the 70’s. Sure your TV could play 5 or 6 channels maybe but it still was a TV, getting a Atari made it a home entertainment system. The whole one machine that did so many different games paved the way for the whole home entertainment universe we have today.

You know what they say. You fuck ONE goat!

Props to your mom for “Monkey Fucking, Kitty Bitch!” I’m gonna steal that. It’s mine now.

New Trent and the Goblin King agree.
