Out of all the Nintendo consoles I have owned (everything except the n64) the switch is the one I have the fewest games for. I don't often buy games at full price so I guess I don't buy Nintendo titles anymore.

If the Dreamcast didn't get discontinued in early 2001 then sure, it's possible they could have released an mp3 player vmu. We don't even know if the TGS prototype was a functional unit or just conceptual mockup. Either way, it would still be a case of too little too late.

When I said it would rip CDs very slowly I was referring to the processing speed, not the drive speed. Comparable processors of the time would encode at about 0.6-0.8x speed depending on the encoder used and I doubt the average consumer would want to spend 2 hours to encode a single CD worth of music on their dreamcast.

You're grossly overestimating what mobile tech was capable of in 1998. The dreamcast had enough power to play an mp3 but the VMU definitely did not. On top of that, the VMU only has enough storage space for a little over 6 seconds of music at 128kbps. Even if the Dreamcast could (very very slowly) rip CDs to MP3 , you still had no where to save the data.

N64 and PS1 have not aged well. I'd absolutely take a dreamcast over the N64 and the PS1 really only beats it on RPGs. If you don't have nostalgia for the 5th gen consoles, most of the games just aren't very fun anymore.

Can't afford 3 meals a day? Call it intermittent fasting. Can't live off what you earn? Poly employment. What other awful reality can we rebrand?

The point is to make the case difficult and time consuming, hoping to cause a delay. One common method I have seen is to print every email in an email chain. The efficient way would be to print the last email in a 30 reply long chain and have it make up about 5 pages of the filing. Instead of doing that though, you can print every email in the chain and turn it in to 50+ pages pretty easily. Trump does not want this case to be handled efficiently and having a 5000+ lage filing, full of repeated and unnecessary information is one way to make that happen.

I'm not leaving my home for $9. Y'all that hard up?

Qbittorrent let's you set a torrent to download in sequential order and download first and last pieces first. This let's me play files as they are downloading.

GaaS? Check. Denuvo? Check. Not sending out review codes ahead of launch? Check.

This will be a dumpster fire.

The qr code is just a text string. It says "1,000,000". Fucking amazing.

I'm to young for the first one but too old for the second one. I'm also used to society ignoring my generation so that's fine.

But without Isreal as an intermediary, how are politicians supposed to funnel billions of dollars to their friends in the defense industry?
