As long as he wasn’t snoring, you can sit behind your dad and imagine he’s the one narrating.

“Oh god, not this shit again.”

“But WHY does Abigail have to go to the nunnery? She didn’t do anything wrong!”

Nintendo HAD to know that people would try putting GameCube discs into the new Wiis. Maybe the RVL-101 has a simpler arm that just pushes the disc back out instead of trying to move it into place.

I love it, it’s the engine readout on a Battlestar or something.

Boy, we absolutely could not imagine a future without diskette drives. 😂

Drywall?? I distinctly remember him pulling down load-bearing bricks!

I didn’t realize there was an in-between model. So that’s what that black Wii was!

You inserted a GC disc and it didn’t jam? If a mini DVD went in properly and could be ejected, then those guides for the smaller discs were still there, just the software no longer registered the disc as a game.

Correct. There was a very complicated and delicate armature inside the drive that guided mini DVDs to the center. The revised Wii had a tray-loading drive, and no GameCube compatibility. So even though you could insert GameCube discs without issue, they wouldn’t play.

Those original Wiis still could not handle the Diddy Kong Racing disc due to the non-circular shape.

Slot-loading CD drives would get jammed if you inserted anything other than a round, full-sized disc.

Irregular-shaped disc had to use drives that let you secure the disc to the spindle directly.

Cassette pastism.

There are unused assets in the original World of Warcraft that suggested a player housing system was being developed but never finished. The idea is as old as MMORPGs are.

The Anime/Manga/video game series dotHack, which is about a fake MMORPG, predates WoW by several years and has player housing for some of the characters.

What’s next, a dance studio?

2. Whoever says yes is doing so with the expectation of at least a decade’s worth of films.

There was six years between Spectre and No Time to Die, so… two films?

Unionized Clown Posse

Businesses and personalities have different sets of followers on different social platforms and this is an easier way to give everyone the same content.

Sure, some people are going to use it with spambots, but it does have legitimate purpose for real people.

Spoiler: I’m a clown at a carnival and after almost quitting, all the employees unionized and now my pay is double what it used to be.

That pun made me bristle, but I think I can handle it.

I’ve seen Korean girls dress like this unironically.
