Elon designs nothing. He finances the design of, sure, and is just as culpable. But let’s not credit him with things he didn’t, and can’t, do.

It created a genre. And it was surprisingly competent at what it sent out to do. In hindsight it was a miracle. Brand new technology harnessed to birth the 3D platformer. It was amazingly ambitious all around.

Mega Man X. The first one for SNES.

It was such an evolutionary leap forward from the previous MM games. Everything was bigger and better. The graphics, the music, the controls. It blew my mind at the time.

4 bucks for a single chocolate bar? What a rip off for what is likely run of the mill trash chocolate. There couldn’t possibly be a better spokesperson on the wrapper.

lol this thinking right here contributes to the problem. “The bigger bottle HAS to be better, right?”.

If people would stop and read to see what they’re spending their money on, we wouldn’t be buying larger quantities of mostly water-based products in favor of more concentrated versions.

60 loads for the 24.3oz or 72 loads for 64oz…what am I missing here?

I get all groceries, fast food, drinks, snacks, etc. are becoming more expensive across the board but I’m 100% with you. It’s like people bitching about the price of cigarettes. If the crap that’s bad for you is becoming too expensive maybe it’s a win-win and time to quit while saving money.

I can already see it. “I didn’t start this trade war! Canada did!!!”

I’m saddened and disappointed it took this long.

To think the CD-i, 3DO, and Jaguar were all “next gen” only to have the PlayStation/N64/Saturn (hey it did really well in Japan) absolutely blow their doors off is hilarious in hindsight.

Granted, it was a very uncertain time in gaming. And maybe these high dollar systems weren’t trying to directly compete with the younger market of Nintendo/Sega. What did the mature gamer want? More bits? CD-ROM multimedia adventures? Something you can put on your entertainment center on top of your VCR that isn’t just for the kids? These were all promising directions at one point in time.

Ultimately, the PlayStation and Saturn would come along and refocus on the games themselves, making 64 bit gaming seem irrelevant and essentially killing FMV-based gaming. The arrival of the N64 would solidify this.

It was an interesting time in gaming. Units like the CD-i and 3DO commanded huge sums of money and offered very little back in the way of quality gaming. Some people bought into the hype thinking they were buying into the next generation when the industry took a very different direction.

You checking out my jick, chief?

Sweet jeanis, bro!

How do you determine who gets what they need when a given resource becomes scarce? Everything is finite. Human greed is also real. Do you just take someone at their word that they’re desperate for something when they may not be?

You know it’s a real quote by the way it tells you it is.

Maga minded?

Make Aotearoa Great Again?

That’s actually pretty dope.

Because the last thing some people want to do is be accountable

It’s funny because men can’t cook

Legit hilarious. Thanks for this

Right. If you react to this news with disappointment, and believe me I’m disappointed, maybe it’s more a wake up call the support was never real to begin with. I feel we’re better off without such hollow gestures. Then again I’m not a part of a marginalized group and maybe it’s not that black and white.
