Oh, ok. I thought you were being sarcastic, and I was getting miffed, but didn’t want to be negative until I confirmed. See? This is why I wait, and double check before I go off on someone for being a Wii hater. I might just make an ass out of myself.

I love boom blox, and mercury meltdown revolution.

Also, can we get some WiiU love? Everyone loves the switch, but act like half the games aren’t just WiiU games with a bit of DLC.

Not sure what you mean by “good for you”, but it also appears to have the wii motion plus plugged in.

I thought Al Gore invented the internet?

Right?

Guys?

You guys remember that? Guys? You remember Al Gore?

Wait, am I old???

But how would I know that?

Wait…Ubuntu is only 20? What’s the first linux? I thought ubuntu was older.

This is the reason I don’t get PS+.

I see the cheapest option, and think “oh…but I don’t go online much, and thats too little value for that high price.”

Then for a little more money you get a little more value.

Then for a little MORE value, you get the retro games from PS1 and PS2.

And then I realize that’s DOUBLE the cheapest option, to play games that are 20-30 years old.

So I put 2 and 2 together, and decide this whole thing is pissing me off. Fuck it, I’ll just emulate the damn things…

…so, this isn’t even a thing anymore.

Edit: upon a quick google search, I come to find out it was only ever a thing for about a week, and only ever in the NYC area.

So it seems this wasn’t ever intended to be a serious concept/service. It was just some CEO fucking around, and spending corporate money on his own personal inside joke. Complete with a whole list of disclaimers saying it’s not legally obligated to even reach the hiring manager.

And ya know what? I can respect that. I wish MY fucking around at work had this kind of budget and logistics.

Am I the only one confused by why a vacume needs a live video feed? Who’s sitting there thinking “I want to watch what my vacume sees!”

Oh cool! I’m sure people have been waiting for this!

…also, what is it?

Contain coolant? Were these machines internally air conditioned???

You slow blink. This is you telling the cat “I don’t see you as a threat. I feel comfortable around you.”

Or you could show them your belly. Tracy Morgan style. Just show your belly. It says to the cat “This is my most vunerable part of my body. And unlike you, I only have TWO nipples. Which means I am less vunerable then you! Six nipples is more weak points than two nipples! Now bow before me, god of the Egyptian roman times empire! I can crush you like a bug with my belly, which as we’re established is the most vunerable part of the body!”

And they slow blink back to you!!!

Oh! Oh you wanna go??? I’ll slow blink right back, bitch!!! I’ll have a slow blink war!!! We’ll see who’s not a threat!!! I even invade your privacy, and steal the poops you burried in that box!!! I’m taking them awwwaaayyyyy…

I mean…have you not discovered adblock?

Somebody take the audio from The Lion King, when Simba finds his dad dead, and overlay on this. I bet it’s better than that remake Disney tried a couple of years ago.

I hate how news reporters are expected to be robots. And not human.

I saw one weather report where it’s just a boring day, boring weather, but there was a golden retriever in the studio.

He came running over to the weatherman, and got excited to see him. Weatherman is petting the dog, still doing the weather, and laughing while doing it. Calm sunny day, mild weather, nobodys getting hurt because he’s sitting on the floor, rubbing and hugging a dog. He still does the weather report, just with a dog.

He got fired. They aren’t allowed to feel human.

So now you’ve got this, a very real, and very bad hurricane coming through, and this weather feels the need to apologize for feeling empathy, because of the way the entire industry acts. Can’t laugh at a funny story. Can’t mispronounce a word, or say the wrong word, or have human error.

No, you’re a robot, who says the words. Any emotion is penalized. I think that sucks.

Haven’t even heard of it.

This looks like it could be a movie poster for a disney movie from the 90s about 3 animals who somehow telepathically talk to each other. And their adventures out into the world when they escape from the house.

Somebody with photoshop skills do something with that. Maybe call it something like “Big Day Out”. And have it star Bill Murray, Adam Sandler, and Kate Micucci.

It’s probably just Chris Jericho again doing Chris Jericho things.

Dude. You ripped him off!!! The price tag clearly says double what you paid! You’re basically stealing from this shop owner. Pawn shop profit margins are razor thin!

How much is it? And how long is it?

Also, saw some clear SMW inspirations in that little clip too. So it’s drawing inspiration from all over. And was Santa NAKED??? Is that a power-up? Naked Santa cums once a year?

I got it working. I wasn’t expecting it to be as simple as pasting 2 lines of code into a config file. Still not sure why emulationstation doesn’t see them, but at least retroarch does now.

Plus I fixed my issue of emulators not saving. I am SO excited with what I’m building. Every game from my childhood on one machine. Arcade, NES, SNES, Master System, Genesis, N64, PS1, Dreamcast.

It’s all here. I turn on one machine, and it’s all here! 14 year old me is screaming into a pillow. 41 year old me wants to scream into a pillow, but is responsible enough to not want to wake up the neighbors.

No, seriously…I am legit screaming at what this is.

I’m not even sure it encourages piracy. That would assume amazon has content people want to watch.

Name an amazon show…

See? You can’t do it. Nobody can! It’s like trying to name lost media from the silent movie generation. Nobody would know what you were talking about if you did name one.

Bluetooth, and I’ll check again when I get home, but I’m almost certain it was already on x-Input.

Ok…but how is Switch “retro gaming”?

Brb guys. Gonna go to 7-11, buy 5 bags of ice, and throw the ice in the ocean. That should do it, right?

Lufe…uhhh…finds a way.

You guys are going about this all wrong. All you gotta do is connect your smart tv to the internet. Don’t use pihole. Let your tv communicate exactly how it wants to. Then buy some DVDs of local indy pro wrestling. The kind where women staple each other with staple guns, and smash light tubes over each others heads and bleed profusely.

Now…why would you do this? Because advertisers HATE advertising with pro wrestling. They also have nothing TO advertise for women with bloody faces, and broken noses.

Let THAT data get back to them. Who’s going to advertise to the guy who watches pro-wrestling from a high school gym where women leave pools of blood on the ground??? If everyone did this, for 10 hours a day, advertisers would deem the American market not worth the money to advertise to.

You should watch news bloopers on youtube. There’s so many classics.

“…I so pale…” *You’re on!" Immediately goes into news reporter mode as her cohost giggles

Also, a woman talking to the weatherman: “How bout that 69, huh? I know you’re excited about the no rain, but how bout that 69???” Rest of the news crew stonewalls.

Or the woman doing an on-location report about a guy who grills hamburgers for his resteraunt.

“Now, can I try one of these?”

"Absolutely. I would LOVE to see my meat in your mouth!

“NOT THE FIRST TIME I’VE HEARD THAT!!!”

There was the cohost who was in a grape smashing competition to make wine, and she yelled “WAIT!!!” and then started stomping extra fast herself. Basically cheating. And then she slipped and fell face first off an 8 foot drop right onto her face. And she starts groaning in pain.

Remember that time like 10 years ago, when some local news station was doing a story about Amazon having all the best tech deals, and then the one co-host butts in and says “You know why they have a monopoly, right? RIGHT??? SHE KNOWS WHAT I’M TALKIN ABOUT!!!”

And everybody was giving blank looks, like “Uh…no? What ARE you talking about?”

And he’s like “Because they sell all the sex toys, and deliver it right to your house! Ladies? Right??? IT’S CONVIENENT!!!”

And everybody just had their mouth open in shock like “WTF ARE YOU DOING???”

and then he goes on and on about dildos, as his cohost continually tries to move on, but he keeps talking about dildos. And she’s looking like she wants to strangle him.

Oh, there he is! I see Duke! Duke can’t hide. Yep, he’s been…spotted.

Why do I feel guilty if I take a nap? It’s like I feel like I’m letting somdone down. I have no wife. No kids. No pets. Nobody who relies on me. Who am I letting down?

I need to be more like Bloobs here. Just takin’ a nap, and not giving a shit. Bloobs, you’re my hero for today!

May I introduce you to Nintendo?

Hell, I don’t even want to ban users guilty of piracy. Oh no! Sony and it’s BILLIONS of dollars will surely be affected by pirating their dvd of a movie! Heavens to betsy!

Someone PLEASE think of the oppressors!

…how?

God I hope my adbock holds up…

I feel like some people are just emotional reactionaries. They see a certain story, and in their own mind they make the story worse than it is, and treat their feelings as fact.

I have no sources on this, or proof that this guy in particular is doing that.

…wait, am I doing it right now???

Hmmmmm…

A backup of a video about backing up your data.

Alannis Moresette starts playing

Oh man…16 year old me is going to be SO excited.

For context, I’m 41.

And Maisey solemnly swears that she WILL eat every piece of food you drop on the floor. Then she’ll beg for more.

She will try to lick you. She licks everybody who gives her attention. Except me. I taught her I don’t like being licked. So now I can pet her, and boop her, and (if my sister isn’t looking) give her small amounts of food. Znd she just snuggles up in my lap.

But she still tries to lick, and I say “heeey”, and she goes “Oh, right. Sorry”. And I go “it’s ok.” And then my sister comes over and is confused why she’s so obsessed with me, or my mom, whenever we visit.

But I’m the only one she makes an actual effort not to lick.
