The Retro/Vintage thing drives me crazy. Not that I mind words altering their meaning over time, that’s just a fact of language. But searching for things when the two words are used interchangeably half the time is a chore 😂 From what I’ve seen, other hobbies do it a bit better than video games do.

But I’m going to completely agree with the SNES. Early 3D aged so horribly, if you ask me. As much as I loved my N64 back in the day, it is easily my least used console and mostly just collects dust.

I’ve recently gotten into model building, in the sense of buying those sheets of pieces that need cut out and snapped or glued together. like this

The issue I have is that I’m not really into most of the things they make models of. Most model kits in this style tend to be classic cars, military vehicles, or anime/Gundams. Not that there’s anything wrong with those things, they’re just not particularly interesting to me.

But I can spend hours just browsing the model kits on websites like big bad toys

There’s the whole “it’s so bad it’s good” mentality, but The Room is so insufferably bad that it goes way passed the “it’s good” part and just goes to being one of the most irritating movies I’ve ever seen.

Add on the weird cult following and it just gets worse, to me.

It is a Halloween tradition of mine to play through at least one game in the Ghosts 'n Goblins series every October and the past few years I’ve been branching out into ports of the games that I wasn’t previously familiar with.

This list and write up so absolutely incredible and it’s nice to see someone share a lot of my thoughts on them.

Especially with your

I start a lot of these Spectrum sections with “you’ll have to trust me on this…”

This is pretty much what I have to do, too. “I promise, it looks weird but it’s actually really good” is how I have to explain my love for the ZX Spectrum in general.

I have a 100% positive feedback on ebay as a buyer, so that’s cool I guess.

I haven’t driven for Uber in years, but I was a 4.93 (last I can find. I looked for an old screen shot).

I was around Elo 1100 in Age of Empires 2 for a while, but I’m sure I would be lower now (and honestly 1100 isn’t impressive. It’s barely above average, but it’s the only other rating I can think of).

And this made me realize that I’m not rated in many situations on a scale beyond “Hey good job”/“this could be better”.

I think the most famous person that I share a name with is a very famous serial killer.

I already think the fascination with serial killers is incredibly weird (this is putting ut lightly), but the past 5-10 years has only seen it become even more mainstream. My response to anyone referencing the killer to me, because of my name, is very stern and very simple:

If you can’t tell me who the victims were, then shut up about it. At least have the decency to pretend you actually care about the events and not just the “oh how weird and creepy” factor.

Thank you, it was a pretty crazy experience. Too many years in college and then years afterwards just job hopping - only to end up in the most unrelated career path possible. But hey, it all worked out ok!

Necessity, multiple times. I had incredible luck out of college - and by that I mean that places I worked at kept closing or getting bought out by other companies and doing major layoffs. I kept going back to my fast food job I had in college because it was better than nothing. I went back 4 separate times before I found a job that didn’t close within a year.

So it wasn’t exactly by choice!

That does make sense. It is no less infuriating 😂 but it makes sense.

I seriously do not understand how removing numbers was a good idea. That, more than anything, was when I practically stopped watching altogether.
