They couldn't do that without going full Sega Game Gear and requiring 8 AA batteries for about an hour of playtime - though their graphics were running a lot better too so maybe a backlit GBC wouldn't need as much power. I used to use the ancillary tool that had it's own batteries though, that magnified the screen as well as lit it up. The one for the Game Boy Color was a clear purple, so futuristic!

I remember watching my uncle playing Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past when I was younger, and when it was finally my turn with the SNES, I just couldn’t stop. It was the first game I ever played all the way through. I played the Mario bros, and 2 and 3 but I never could beat them (for some reason we didn’t have Zelda 1 and 2, but I doubt I could have beat them either). It was a moment for me, where I realized beating a game was fun! And it was easy enough for me to progress through, but not so hard like the other games that I would quit. And unlike the Mario games - I could mess up and end up not too far from where I left off!
Honestly, if any life was going to beat radiation, I’m not surprised it’s mushrooms. They are amazing.
Also, I wonder if they have Mulberry trees in Chernobyl because I can’t kill those things it axes, poison, or digging them up. I bet they’d fare well too.
It wouldn’t be so horrifying if they mushrooms were just growing around it - we’d be like “yeah, mushrooms are resilient.” It’s the “growing towards” part that makes it so unnerving, like it has a plan.
This piece is so biased. To act like the mods and the content creators behind this protest are keeping the site from growing up is farcical. You know how the site could have grown up? Get some actual professionals to make their app so 3rd party creators didn’t have to do it for them. How about, since you couldn’t make an app before (or better) than the competition, you work with the 3rd party app creators and show them some respect? What the article doesn’t say is that there was about a month between Reddit dropping their (not at all “realistic” as they claimed) API pricing, and the point 3rd party apps got charged for it. This decision was made to either scrape money out of 3rd party apps or kill them altogether, not to make their users happy.
Here’s another one: actually care about your unpaid moderators enough to give them the tools they need to moderate efficiently.
The thing is, Huffman wants Reddit to “grow up” when he lies and spreads libelous claims, then gets mad when he gets caught. Sounds like he’s the one who needs to grow up

I’m only heading over there to see the drama unfold (for the lols, as they used to say) and promote alternatives, but once Apollo is gone, I will as well. The plan is to nuke my posts and delete my account.
Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they're calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating...
The world can be a pretty strange place, but it's good to look back and find at least one thing that was good to you today. Be that a nice conversation, a cool picture you saw, a song you heard... whatever! But if you didn't find anything good today, here's your sign: go do one thing for you, right now. Even if its just a moment...
I had a nice chat with a coworker and found out we're both rock hounds who like to hike. Also, I'm becoming more confident, so I might ask her to exchange numbers and we can go rock hunting together! 😀
