All you really need to know about me is I’m a Super Mario RPG stan, and I’m forever grateful for the nearly-perfect remake on Switch.

Super Mario RPG running on an SNES and displayed on a CRT on the left side of a TV stand next to it running on the Switch and displayed on an OLED on the right side. It’s showing the same scene, Mario’s House, in each game, showing how faithful the remake was to the original game.

The last time the Mariners played in an ALCS, they were still making Sega Dreamcast games.

Thanks and I agree. We’ve reduced our Amazon purchases by a large amount but haven’t completely abandoned them yet, even though we know that we should.

There was a law passed in 2019 (under Trump!) that guarantees back pay when funded, and they’re trying to get around that! They’re cruel.

Thanks, it’s because of the US federal shutdown. Hope it’s resolved soon as well, we have enough stashed to make ends meet but I know others just starting out aren’t so lucky ☹️

I’m looking forward to my wife and I both missing our next paycheck, despite working full time. It might not be very prudent to go to PRGE this year.

When will the winning stop?

I’ve been saying this entire gen consoles are just glorified mid-spec PCs locked behind proprietary e-shops.

Valve could plausibly end the whole console charade by launching a set top box that competed directly with PS. They might even be able afford to come in at loss and go for the kill.

I have a really hard time differentiating between a ridiculous joke price and actually real prices these days.

deeb @deeb.bsky.social · 1d

I have no idea if you’re joking or not, but lol
