This meme is a lie. The first appearance of Mario was donkey kong in 1981.

Donkey Kong came out in 1981. Mario is 44.

Considering your question was about a “payment card acceptance system” “for payment processing in under 30 seconds”, no, cash is not an appropriate answer to your very specific question.

I feel it was a good answer to the question posed

Imagine you can’t use visa or mastercard. What other fucking payment card acceptance system are you going to use for payment processing in under 30 seconds?

I don’t know. Visa and MasterCard did for 20 years, so maybe. I don’t really care either way. I’m not going to judge people who play “Interactive Sex - Daddy Daughter Incest Volume 4” but I’m not going to go to bat for them either. I can think of way better hills to die on.

Amex. Discover. Diners Club. Venmo.

You gonna pay me to do that?

Good point.

Considering the time period, axing the console may have actually been a good decision

It’s also one of the best sonic youth songs

People batted eyes. Batted them all the way down to target to buy Mario kart. Online outrage doesn’t mean shit if the game still sells.

They made 3 more half-life games after the second one…

One of those rare people who nobody has anything negative to say about

Replacing spell crafting with blacksmithing makes sense for the setting. It would have been nice to have something a bit deeper to replace it though.

The key to oblivion is to pick tag skills that you won’t use. If your build is a stealth archer, pick block blunt and restore. You only level when your tagged skills level, so your archery illusion and sneak will be 100 but your character will be sub level 10 so you’ll basically be a god

Your partner has a point. I’m not sure how interesting it would be to explore a planet with exactly one landscape

Does it still say “hello moto” when you turn it on?

Hate it. If 1984 was meant to have a sequel George Orwell would have written one.

Meh. It would make more sense to use unity for mobile shovelware.

DEI was policy during the Biden admin. It basically boiled down to employees having to take a yearly training telling us to respect coworkers backgrounds/identities and pronouns. It’s not a bad thing and it sure as fuck didn’t kill GameStop.

Biggest sin is no more “just one more turn”. I want to nuke the entire world after I finish the game, that was half the fun

Not at valve they dont

Can’t speak for the actual Anglican church because I’ve never been to the UK. But the episcopalian church, which is the american spinoff of the Anglican church, is the most accepting church I’m aware of. They regularly put up signs with a rainbow flag that say “All Are Welcome”

You dont have to use it, but more options for consumers is always a good thing

I think the biggest problem is Bethesda always hypes these things up like they’re the fucking holodeck. Starfield could have been the greatest game ever made and it still wouldn’t have lived up to the prerelease hype.

It’ll track it as “non-steam game”

Popular? GameStop?

Right? Where does Microsoft get off adding minimum hardware requirements to windows 11 for the first time ever?

And oblivion, and skyrim

8 had amazing mechanics but the story was shit and I didn’t like or identify with any of the characters. 7 was much better in that regard.

Yeah imagine how shitty the game would be if it was actually rushed

Fallout 4 took 7 years to develop and still felt rushed. Exactly how far in advance do you think they knew about the show?

He’s right. If they’d rushed to get a game out in time for the show it would have been a piece of shit and eroded the brand.

Are there some pointers you could give me to understand FF7 a bit better?

Play the original instead.

Yeah I loved the old days when my phone would get bricked from being in my pocket during a light rain

I so badly wanted that movie to be great and prove the haters wrong. But ugh, it was so fucking bad. Insultingly bad.

Wouldn’t a robot’s pronouns be “it/its”?

I bought this expecting an updated ff7 with better graphics and quality of life improvements. I ended up with a shitty dragons age clone, so I refunded it immediately. Not even going to buy it again if it’s on sale.

I only ever use the search bar so IDC how its laid out
