  • I feel like if we know about this, they would too. Or at least a supervisor.

  • What Was the Golden Era of Video Games?

    Jump

  • I am honestly pleasantly surprised at everything the industry came up with in that generation, in hindsight. Maybe those kinds of games were a little overrepresented, but you still had Super Mario 64, Pilot wings, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Smash Bros (not fully 3D but that may be a good thing from a game play aspect), two Zelda masterpieces, Mario Party, some solid wrestling games, and a few Final Fantasy games (I never played them but I don't think they're shooters and definitely not racing games)

    There were some flopped consoles just prior to the N64/PS1 like the Saturn and Atari Jaguar that probably helped the industry figure out what doesn't work well in 3D gaming. Maybe they still had some stuff to figure out, but that was a pretty good era IMO.

  • Trump administration to stand by tough Biden-era mandates to replace lead pipes

    Jump

  • I mean, the lead pipes are already there. It's not like the alternative is to install more of them...

    ...yet 😔

    YSK: 'It turned out to be a tougher one': Trump says he was wrong about ending war in Ukraine

    Jump

  • Maybe my wording wasn't great, but I'm thinking more along the lines of arms sales, other support, and Russian sanctions, which would make things a lot harder for Ukraine if they went away

    YSK: 'It turned out to be a tougher one': Trump says he was wrong about ending war in Ukraine

    Jump

  • I mean, I'll admit that I figured his solution would be to simply make sure Ukraine folds to Putin within 24 hours and that hasn't happened. It's a bar so low that it's just sitting on the ground, but at least he hasn't gone that low in that way yet

  • Only a fraction of House seats are competitive. Redistricting is driving that lower

    Jump

  • Example: Lauren Boebert in 2022 was waaaaay closer than expected. When you talk about 99% probability of a certain winner in a house with 435 seats, it's bound to happen.

    But also: redistricting to get more seats comes at the expense of tighter margins. Democrats have been way over performing since Trump's installation - if they're not flipping seats, they're making ruby red races a lot less so. That could cause a huge backfire for Republicans if the trend continues.

  • Mmmk, better abandon this "money" experiment. Surprised it only lasted thousands of years, but I'm sure human nature will adapt

  • Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath?

    Jump

  • It's a battle of evolution: we lost our ability to do that, but have a decent reflex to catch ourselves from danger. It's why I don't fall off a bed. Even when that bed is a hammock on top of a tree.

  • Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath?

    Jump

  • Cool! I'm not entirely sure because I know little about it, but you may have actually brought up a valid point! It's a shame we had to climb a mountain of snark and smartassery to get to that possibility.
