I don’t see physical games dying for the same reason I don’t see vinyl, cassettes, CDs, VHS, DVDs, or Blu-Ray dying.

People don’t just buy to consume, they buy to collect.

Physical media isn’t just about function, it’s about form. And form is tied to identity.

People are getting tired of their favorite movies disappearing from their streaming services. A collection ensures that won't happen. Game Stop is even stocking some again

Once upon a time, dialing "popcorn" told you what time it is.

Kid majoring in videography was smart and asked photographer dad for a lighting kit. I saved a few bucks because there were my original stands I never use.

If you haven't seen The Magic Christian I highly recommend it. Here is the rather famous actor Lawrence Harvey doing Hamlets soliloquy

Yeah, I saw that NatGeo movie. At least I think it was NatGeo....and not some 50's space drama

Well, this sucks.

Couple dabs of RTV108 and hold it in place overnight is what I might do. Or ubreakifix might be better ;)

@atomicpoet
If it's RTV it's a nonconductive silicone adhesive. So it's a hair elastic, but damn handy for keeping things in places.

If.you search for "dum olav" you get dum aloo. Therefore I'm a potato.

If the gods exist, it's mighty presumptuous to think they have our best interests at heart, or even think about us at all.

Well, the universe came from somewhere, consciousness came from somewhere, and eventually the universe fades into an even temperature a few degrees above absolute zero. What happens to us specifically is anyone's guess.

So like whatever gives you peace. That should be your "religion"

I think it's pamu to say "hey, this is what works for me" so long as it isn't proselytizing or shaming others. The exception being hate. I have no time for hate.

Whelp, my psychiatrist opted to not get back to me today. Barring anything tomorrow he gets an email that I'm quitting the buspar on Wednesday. Things are not good.

It is what it is. What I really want is a conversation on the sheer number of pills I'm taking. It's on the edge of too many.

Our nation's regulatory agencies are on the "wait until it's a meme" schedule.

IDK if it's a tradeoff or not, but McD knows the status of every ice cream machine, updated on the 1/2 hour.

Someone found the API and it's presented as a map here: https://mcbroken.com

I'm sooo tired of taking pills. I know I can't not but maybe it's worth the risk to take fewer.

Don't plan to but even w/ meds I've been in hospital twice this year. One added a bad med, the other a decent med. But dinner is still 8 pills of 4 meds, and breakfast is 5-6 pills of 4 meds.

It gets old, not helped by ads for meds that specifically treat bipolar I/II with mixed episodes.
