Set for life

I will never forget going to the store in the mall and having Neverwinter nights in one hand, Morrowind in the other and the clerk waking up to ten year old me and saying "wow, great taste." offhandedly. I bought Morrowind that day and had never been so completely lost in a game. I ran around getting killed by everything for weeks!

Americans want electric cars – they just can’t find them

This is just the standard apparently. I have been looking at cars with my wife and the salesmen are fucking useless. "What kind of engine does this have, v6 or i4 turbo?" "IDK I'll have to get back to you." "What kind of gas mileage does the hybrid get?" "IDK I'll have to get back to you " "is this spec AWD or fwd?" "IDK I'll have to get back to you."

Legit useless.

Is the 3DS worth purchasing despite it being "obsolete"?

If you want to play 3ds you have 3 decent options.

  1. Buy a 3ds for like $200. Hack and jailbreak it. This will be the most authentic experience.

  2. Buy a retro handheld. This will be a good experience and has the benefits that come with Linux based handhelds.

  3. Play on Android phone and use a 3d printed joycon holder. If you have a printer or friend with one and some old switch controllers this option is really cheap and mimics the OG form factor fairly well. I use this and while it's not perfect, it is functional.

The DS is resurging because there's no mainstream handhelds now, the DS has a large library and was the most recent successful handheld.

Am I the only one bothered by this?

If you're too lazy to photograph the food you produce day in and day out, I don't wanna find out where else you'll cut corners. It doesn't take much effort to pop a plate on a cutting board or white poster board and snap a shot with your phone.

All Republicans are traitors at this point. You lend your power to someone who in turn lends it to a traitor, therefore you're a traitor. The last ten years have shown that Socrates was right, the average person is too dumb to vote for their own self interest and will elect demagogues.

Nope, but if you can recognize you're shit you're capable of working on those shit aspects of yourself. If there's something you don't like, change it

I'm shit, but less shit than I was yesterday. Small incremental improvements add up.
