places in oven

“Honey what’s that awful smell?”

“Who knows. Probably the neighbor’s leaf blower”

Five minutes go by

“It smells like cancer”

“Maybe they are sealcoating their driveway, I don’t know, stop asking me”

Twenty five minutes later

Opens oven

“Fuck”

Retching, coughing “Sweet baby Jesus, what the FUCK is that?! Melted plastic? On my new casserole dish?!”

“Open a goddamn window”

“Open all the fucking windows”

“Mommy why is the house stinky”

“Charlie go play outside”

“But Daddy–”

“I SAID GO OUTSIDE CHARLIE”

from outside “Daddy it smells out here too, the neighbors are doing something black to their driveway”

Nah. Dr. Pepper is from the 1800s. I don’t think women were allowed to be doctors back then, so Dr. Pepper being male is a fair assumption.

Could you imagine it, though? Imagine dragons?

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.

It’s also worth pointing out that this was sued in a copyright lawsuit some time ago. The wikipedia article mentions it, but here’s the slashdot discussion if you want to feel like stepping into a time machine: https://m.slashdot.org/story/158778

It caused a momentary panic when everyone realized that this thing runs the system clocks for everything everywhere, and if it got taken down by a copyright suit it would be disastrous for, well, everybody.

Saltines, eh? I may need to try that sometime…

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

Just give me WindWaker HD port since I don’t have a Wii U

Oh interesting.

But you can sell apple gift cards on eBay, yeah? Sure you won’t get the full value, but you get most of it. And as you said, in this case Roblox is taking a cut for the conversion anyway.

So it seems like they could’ve washed their hands of this by making Robux transferable/ebayable: the “casinos” would still exist, they would still benefit from the popularity of the casinos, and the Robux are still “worth something”. But they got too greedy and dug too deep by trying to become the “eBay” in the situation and take a cut off both ends, and now they might be forced to make Robux effectively worthless.

outside the Roblox ecosystem

I have no love for Roblox, but if it’s a completely different website, isn’t this kinda…not their fault?

It sounds like those IRS scams that want you to pay with iTunes gift cards – no one claims that Apple is running the scam.

The article claims they were aware and didn’t stop it, and that’s why they are at fault. Maybe they could’ve revoked the API keys for those gambling sites? But is that even how it’s set up? (I don’t actually know how Robux work.)

I’m not an infra dev, but a previous project used SOPS and it seemed alright
