For most of my childhood, I would vomit 100% of the time after eating red dye number 40. It really was in everything and it was awful

Fuck I had to stop watching after the bit with his dog. That’s heartbreaking

I think an interesting way to define the greatest game of all time would be a game that captures your attention the longest and provides the largest variety of ways to play.

To that end, I would say StarCraft 1.

My personal reasoning is I love games that have user generated content to keep you coming back to enjoy fresh experiences. StarCraft 1 had a game mode called use map settings where you could play maps made using the built-in level editor. There was enough complexity in the level editor that basically the sky was the limit.

You want to play a tower defense? StarCraft 1. You want to play an RPG? Which franchise do you want to play, cause a lot of them are on StarCraft 1. You want to play an action adventure game? StarCraft 1. The list goes on lol

I’ve never personally played it, but I feel like another example of this would be Roblox and another one that I have would be Gary’s mod.

I’m surprised nobody mentioned the real heroes that day; the first responders who are still dealing with the consequences of helping https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_arising_from_the_September_11_attacks

Unfortunately these high capacity power strips always have surge protector functionality in them, and it’s a very bad idea to daisy-chain surge protectors because they can interrupt each other trying to stop the current and all of your stuff will get fried.

Power strips are fine as long as you aren’t exceeding the maximum load, but they never come with as many plugs so that’s how I ended up with four different power strips and some 1 foot extension cords for all those damn wall warts.

All of that is going into the handful of battery backup plugs on the uninterruptible power supply so if I’m ever playing a retro game and the power goes out, I don’t lose my progress! You know how evil games used to be; half the time you can’t even save the damn game lol

Hah! It’s a rats nest that I basically dumped back there the last time I moved and the labels are from a long time ago before I had most of the stuff. It’s not like you get a new retro console every day so I’m almost never back there. That’s kind of the whole point. I plug everything in one time and then I don’t touch it until I move.

Everyone’s laughing at the fire hazard, but I would unironically buy this if it was a power strip and not a surge protector because I’m already basically doing this with four separate power strips into a single uninterruptible power supply for all of my retro video game consoles, modem, router, roku, and my television. The trick is basically nothing is ever on at any given time so right now the current output is only 36 watts.

Your post truly disgusted me. I like that.

That I don’t recall. It’s just the only photo I could find online. I cropped an eBay photo

I recall having to buy it separately. I was pretty annoyed about that as a day one adopter. Here’s what the packaging looked like:

I guess I am experiencing the Mandala effect because I thought for sure this was something Ben Stiller made fun of in the Focker trilogy of films in regards to Robert De Niro’s Circle of trust.

They won’t have his coloring book versions of the briefings so he isn’t interested lol

Missed opportunity to say “you went a step too far” ;)

There was also a documentary way back in 2006 called Hacking Democracy that showed Diebold voting machines that are still in use today could be hacked: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacking_Democracy

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. I’m simply sharing news that there are other independent parties requesting recounts for reasons unrelated to anything Stephen Spoonamore was alleging. Even if we really did find proof, I fully believe the supreme court would do the same thing they did in 2000 with Bush vs Gore and stop the recount to ensure Trump stays president.

EDIT: Now that I’ve posted it though, I see it was already posted elsewhere, and I just missed it apparently.

Go for it!
