E3 2004! The HYPEST

We met Reggie, who’s about kicking ass and taking names.

And the DS is revealed…and it COMES OUT THAT YEAR?! Whaaaaaa

I was so hyped. I started saving my pennies right away.

The multiplayer experience was unbelievable. No cables, no square box thing to play more than 2 players. And you didn’t even need multiple copies of the game! Just all play Mario Kart!

The thumb strap was a neat idea, but not the easiest in practice. Though I did find it great for aiming in the Metroid FPS game, much better than the stylus.

And OF COURSE it was backwards compatible!

Loved it. Beautiful machine. I still have 2 DS Lites that work.

Am I the only one who loves the Switch? That the joycons come off and even have their own shoulder buttons is so cool. You can just set it on a table and play some multiplayer Mario Kart, heck yes. And they snap into the ring fit circle thingie! Neat! And the Pro controller is great all around.

Shout out to the DS Lite. Loved that thing. Gotta have the thumb strap to play that Metroid multiplayer FPS.

Worst: TI-84. How the hell they still charging over $100 for this thing, when it has less processing power than a Palm Pilot? Seriously the CPU is from 1976. Yeah Bubble Bobble and Block Dude are great, but the Zelda port runs awful.

How is there fiber in that

This is accurate lol

Life, uh, finds a way

100% agree. Genshin is grindy AF

Protip: Preheat first to save time

Do you have a source for this? Last I looked into the Uighur genocide, it was being reported by well-respected outlets (not faith healers and flat earthers) and had photos of people being marched into camps.

So for it to suddenly be “all made up” sounds rather far-fetched to me.

Ok, I’ll bite. What is “everything that has come out”?

Glerups. I wear them all day

Wow, that’s wild to me. I looked at this and thought “not a bad deal, though why would I want soda at breakfast”. A “full breakfast” (not sure what goes into the English part), but something like eggs, sausage, bacon, home fries, and pancakes, would be like $12. Coffee another $2.50.

Where do you live that this would be cheaper? 🤔

First Past the Post says “Sorry, but no”

I’d eat the fuck out of that

Creepy paper

No

Hades is up there. So many runs, so much content, $25.

Sure, for a new project. But when inheriting code I’m not in a position to pick.

The point is that the state of python package managers is a hot fucking mess compared to npm. Claiming that “npm is just as bad” (or worse) honestly seems ridiculous to me.

(And isn’t pip/venv the one the requirements.txt one? Completely flat, no way to discern the difference between direct dependencies and sub-dependencies? No hashes? Sucks when it’s time for updating? Yeah no thanks, I’d like a proper lock file. Which is probably why there are a dozen other tools.)
