If wages rise in conjunction, I don’t see any issue.

Soooooo…you see the issue, right?

I just wish we’d have neither inflation nor deflation.

Candy bars used to be $0.50 when I was a kid. That would probably equal the buying power of $1.25 today. But candy bars are like $2, and about half the size.

I just want it to be still $0.50, and not get smaller.

Dude…the line was crossed like 7 years ago when ICE agents just started raiding innocent peoples homes, and kidnapping them in unmarked vans.

THIS is so far past the line we csn’t even see the line. The line is a dot from here.

Right??? Could you imagine buying a house from SEARS??? And at a reasonable price too!!!

Woolworths and Sears certainly will never not be the most dominant retail spaces in the United States. They’re gokng to live forever!

(I feel like most people here are too young ho even fully grasp the sarcasm on full display in my comment)

That’s fine. Nintendo was already planning to impose the Nintendo tax. So I imposed the “I ain’t buyin’ this shit tax”.

2033??? It’s only 2025!!!

THIS GAME IS FROM THE FUTURE???

/j

I wish people would take your stance on GTA 6.

Instead, I’m sure it’ll be like “100 billion copys sold in first hour!”

ONLY FOR European Union citizens! No Brits!

signs anyways…is American

You’re right, Ubisoft. I CAN’T complain about not owning the game. I never bought it. You know…because it’s an Ubisoft game!

Really unclear if you’re misquoting Jurassic Park, or if Jurassic Park just universally applies to EVERYTHING.

…stop being right! I got angry reading that, but when I clicked reply to yell at you, I realized it was all emotional backlash on my end. I couldn’t formulate a thought process to show why you’re wrong. Because you’re not wrong. I just hate that you’re right!

Oh good. That means it should already be 2X lower then, right?

I remember buying breath of the wild, and sniperclips on day 1.

May I introduce you to their last launch day tech demo… 1-2 Switch?

Yeah. You forgot about $60 launch day tech demo 1-2 Switch, didn’t you?

Until MY pay goes up, that just means everything is more expensive, and I won’t be buying new things.

I wasn’t even going to pay $449, let alone $600. I figured it would have been somewhere between $300-400, with 400 being on the high end of reasonable.

$449 I would have waited a bit. But $600??? I get it’s because of tarrifs, but that’s really going to hurt the systems long term sales numbers the same way covid hurt PS5’s lifetime sales numbers.

What? Like you don’t even have a few dozen 100 gizgabyte sd cards lying around! An sd card size so massive and expensive that I had to make up the new size “gizgabyte”. It’s bigger then terabyte.

Also a 100 gizgabyte sd card will hold exactly 1 copy of “New Super Mario 64 rerelease edition XL”

Now comes with Luigi DLC. When Luigi reaches bowser, he just shoots him with a gun, and goes to McDonalds despite being anti corporate interest.

As opposed to millenials, gen X and boomers who voted for trump? Why do they get a free pass?

Didn’t work for Steve Jobs.

Yes please. To quote time traveling reporter Ryan George “PLEASE bring me back to the 90s! The future is dumb, and nothing makes sense, and I hate it!”

It did. I’ve been a GTA player since the first one kn PS1.

I’ve bought every GTA game.

I have zero interest in GTA6.

Why would you want to pay $70 for a pay to win game at all?

I have never played Chrono Trigger

So, are you one of those guys who denies themselves pleasure?

Dammit, I was going to make a joke about how Mario64 is blocky but was revolutionary at the time. Whereas gamefreak games are an inspiration, that ANYONE can make video games. Even if you’re 30 years behind the times.

Actually it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

ITT: I learn WoW is still a thing. Honestly thought that shit died like 15 years ago.

Didn’t they remaster this thing on like 5 different systems?

Imagine if the Goldeneye rerelease happened now.

You’d have a game on the ps5, that requires PS+ to play online, but also needs a Nintendo Online account, AND a Microsoft account (since MS owns Rare).

The future is dumb.

I remember when I was a kid, people used to say “Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. One has a yum yum, the other has a penis!”

At no point were nazis involved.

This would be AMAZING advertising campaign. Create fully completed game. Cancel that “almost finished” game. Developers take 2 month paid break with their only job being to seem like they’re out of work, and willing to do interviews with the press about the game. Then, hype up the game, talk shit about your employers, tell the media your employers made a huge mistake canceling that game. Readers get mad that this game got TAKEN AWAY from them. Company sees public outcry, and so they…release the game. Sales skyrocket.

Meanwhile all you really did was give your talented staff a break, and boosted your reputation with them about feeling valued. Used the media as free advertising, and made record profits while making the public feel that their outcry was heard. Thus improving your relationship with the customers.

OR AM I OVERTHINKING THIS???

Am I the only one who saw the title, and was expecting a Super Nintendo or Genesis game based on the old Hanna-Barbara cartoon “Underdog”?

There’s no need to fear! UNDERDOG is here!!!

Final Fantasy 7 was good. The rest? Some are meh. Some are garbage.

4, 5, and 6 don’t even exist! (If you get the joke, you know)

…what issues?

You and I would have been friends in 2001. We’d have smoked some weed, and played that stoner game where hou create a story one word at a time…and somehow, that one word always ends up being “penis”.

I wish I could love super metroid. I really do. The game holds up. The graphics are great, the sound design is bafflingly superb for a 16 bit game. Controls are tight. Map size is big but not daunting.

And then you get to the part where you fall down a pitt. And the game teaches you to wall jump.

…everytime I play the game, thats where the game ends. It’s been 30+ years, and I still can’t wall jump in that game.

Right??? Grab your NES cartridge, and make sure to grab the one that you borrowed from your friend last week. Throw them in your bookbag, and pedal your bike while your mom has no real way of knowing where you are. Sure you SAY you’re going to Jimmys house, but it’s not like you have a GPS tracker. And even if you did, how would your mom follow that that tracker? Go to the FBI and use their super computers??? Maybe you’d like her to ask for the nuke launch codes while she’s there. Just be back home before the street lights come on, or dad’s beating your ass!

Ah, the 80s. What a magical time. A magical time of AIDS epidemics, wars on drugs causes by and fought by the government, toxic toys not being recalled, and everybody being too dumb to care.

Nowadays, kids don’t even HAVE bikes! You throw your kids into a strangers car, call it uber, and use technology the 1980s government would have dreamed of having to make sure your kid goes to that little shit Jimmys house.

Everytime I remember the world I grew up in, and then look around at the world I’m in, I feel like I’m missing a big piece of what happened. These two worlds don’t line up. Like when I see old photos of my dad, from the 60s, I say “Yep, that sure looks like what my dad would look like if he were young”. But when I look at the 80s, I think “that sure seems like a totally unrelated society. One in which absolutely did NOT age into this world…”

I don’t understand life.

Yes, and I’m also telling you we’ll get no free games this time. Business is more of a “fuck you” attitude in 2025.

Area? Try building. It’s written into the lease of the apartment. Even if you want NO internet, you still gotta pay.

Ok. Forget price. A 2mbps connection does just fine for watching youtube. What is a 50,000mbps connection going to do for me when my internet activity is so minimal?
