  • Super Mario Bros 3 is better than any other game at being Super Mario Bros 3. And I kinda like that. I think it’s neat. I like that I can just play the same game I played when I was 7. Same exact game. Compare that to today, and if your game from today is even playable at all in 30 years, it’s likely going to have changed so much over the coarse of it’s life through updates, that there is no singular version of how to have memories of that game. Maybe you remember a game early in it’s life, and don’t remember some big unpopular update that ruined everything. OR maybe you started playing that game AFTER the big update, and that’s how you feel nostalgic for that game, even if you can admit it’s flaws. And both versions of how you can remember that game would be valid.

    But not Super Mario Bros 3. It is pixel for pixel exactly the game I played as a kid. Always will be. Plus, it’s Super Mario Bros 3. So that helps.








  • What I see time and time again are people saying “I HAVE TO use Windows at work, but I don’t use it at home”.

    So, logically that means Windows is losing market share to Mac and Linux, right?

    Well, no. What I see over the past 20 years is that people just stopped buying PCs for personal use.

    At this point, it really feels like if you’re over 55, you’re in the minority if you own a PC. If you’re younger than 30, you’re in the minority if you own a PC.

    And for 30-55 year olds, it’s simple. You grew up with PCs, so you’re used to them. Everyone else just sees it as “that thing we use at work”

    So, no. People dropping microsoft from their own personal lives doesn’t mean they switch to linux. It just means they use their cell phone or tablet to browse the web. Because for most people, thats all a pc is anyways. Just a machine to browse the web on.

    I read this sentence as:

    There are a ton of people who have severe balance issues, blood pressure issues that cause fainting farting when standing

    And I was like “…and the solution is a wheelchair???”

    Nope. I’m just illiterate apperently. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m at a trendy new bar. It has a door marked “Pirate”. Do you think a pirate lives in there???
