“Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this” Genius Annotation 3 contributors Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis are video game consoles that were popular in the early '90s. The systems cost between $150 and $200 (not to mention the $50 games), an unattainable luxury when Big was a teenager. The Console War between Sega and Nintendo was in full-swing during the 90s similar to the rivalry between Playstation and Xbox nowadays. Each child had to pick a side since nobody was rich enough to have both. Biggie is saying he's able to live his childhood dreams by saying he has both of the consoles.

We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your mouth, done your job, and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But, no, you just had to blow it up. You and your pride and your ego!
5 hours ago Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs On the day Charlie Kirk was killed, Tyler Robinson left their shared apartment earlier than usual, maybe around 4 or 5 a.m., Lance Twiggs said. Robinson, who was then working as an electrician, told him that he had a long trip to his job site.

In the video interview with prosecutors that was played on Thursday, Mr. Twiggs said that Mr. Robinson had left their home in St. George, Utah, at about 4 a.m. on Sept. 10, the day of the shooting, saying he had a long day of electrician work. At 4:30 p.m., roughly three hours after Mr. Kirk was fatally shot and as a massive manhunt was underway, Mr. Robinson texted Mr. Twiggs: "I love you! Mwah mwah," giving no indication that anything was amiss. "I love you moresies mwah mwah mway," Mr. Twiggs replied.

It was stunning to hear a conversation between Mr. Nixon, Mr. Kissinger and H.R. Haldeman, the White House chief of staff, in the Oval Office in June 1971. "Undoubtedly the most unattractive women in the world are the Indian women, said Mr. Nixon. "Undoubtedly," he repeated, with a venomous tone. He continued, "The most sexless, nothing, these people. I mean, people say, what about the Black Africans? Well, you can see something, the vitality there, I mean they have a little animallike charm, but God, those Indians, ack, pathetic. Uch."

Rosenbaum said that writers who “wake up in the morning wanting to have ideas” are now “living in fear, and it’s not healthy for democracy.” Before I could ask what exactly that meant, he went on: “I talked to another author this morning who's literally got a book coming out going to the publisher in a month, and she's fucking terrified.”
The team behind one of these dubs apparently considered making a major change to the movie. During the production of this undetermined English-language version of My Neighbor Totoro, executives planned to change the titular character's name to something more American sounding, which obviously would have also altered the movie's title. Several names under alleged consideration included "Craig," "Kyle," "Uncle Sam," and "Joe Toro" (from Cleveland). The story goes that its highly influential director, Hayao Miyazaki, made the decision to keep Totoro’s original name. He reportedly said, “I could not name him Craig… because I would not want to be named Craig.”

When it was first released back in 2016, Pitchfork characterized the EP as part of the band’s aging into classic rock and oldies stations, proof of their fading relevance from the world. In 2020, the Strokes followed it up with The New Abnormal. Pitchfork called that album “sluggish and slight, rendering their signature sound as background music.” They awarded it 5.7 out of 10. That same year, Taylor Swift released two albums — Pitchfork gave one a 7.9, the other an 8.0. But last month at Coachella, as footage of a bombed-out Tehran played with the caption “over 30 universities destroyed in Iran” — all while Casablancas bellowed “What side are you standing on?” — the moment only underscored how they’ve thwarted all the critics’ expectations. The Strokes were supposed to die off and fade away; a relic from rock’s supposed last gasp at the turn of the century. Instead, they’ve rallied to the moment. In their Spotify Popular tracks, four in their top ten — including the first slot — are for songs from that 2020 record. They accomplished this even as the poptimists scolded them to get back in their rockist place. Today the present coerces us in the other direction. Rock was once the musical vehicle for something more. Maybe it will be again.

Commander, which again started essentially as interactive Magic fan fiction, is now by far the most played format of the game. Its presence dwarfs that of sanctioned formats like “Standard” or “Modern,” despite those being—and there’s no non-snotty way to say this—the actual game. And the participants, while playing something that looks a whole lot like Magic, are inarguably playing something else. They’re playing a game with different objectives, and they hold different desires for what a Magic card should be or do.

A clip from one of those NYT roundtable things. John, a 62 year old white man from MD, says: He did initiate the ending of the penny, silly as that is. And he initiated getting us out of the World Health Organization and the Paris climate agreement. Two positive things, I guess, if you really look at it on the whole. I mean, that was accounting for a lot of our budget money.

Piker: Yeah. I wanted to work off a point that you were making. This was also something that was addressed in a previous New York Times podcast that I did with Ross Douthat, where I brought up the concept of adventurism. In the Marxist tradition, adventurism is the action that is oftentimes decentralized. Oftentimes, anarchists will say, "This is the propaganda of the deed." The action itself, no matter how violent or how disruptive, is justifiable because the disruption is the point. I believe in the power of organized labor and labor militancy, and building these structures of power so that we can actually make more effective change, more longstanding change. So, concepts such as microlooting indicate that there is an energy there, just like you said. And yet, many Americans, I think, are totally oblivious to this political language. They lack political education, they lack the class consciousness to recognize their position in society, and lack the capacity, unfortunately, to engage in some kind of organized disruption that would be infinitely more effective.

A blog post reviewing Fallout 3. Yes, it does say "Oblivion with Guns" that many times: Oblivion With Guns Worst RPG Game When someone mentions Oblivion With Guns, no one installs it. Oblivion With Guns Worst RPG Game In cRPG History, the worst cRPG is Oblivion With Guns, aka Fallout 3. Oblivion With Guns is the biggest pile of garbage that has ever been inflicted upon a fanbase of an all-time great game (Fallout 1), which was followed by a great sequel (Fallout 2). Never before has a cRPG franchise dropped so abyssally low from the loftiest of heights. Moreover, it is impossible to outdo such an epic nose-dive in the future. Most cRPGs were a mistake, but Oblivion With Guns was a travesty. Imagine the best pure cRPG of the time (Fallout 1) and the worst RPG Game of the time (Oblivion). Now, have the developer of the latter make a sequel for the former, 10 years later. What do you get? Oblivion With Guns.
Had an epiphany. These protesting kids are pretty much Trump voters (sure as shit ain't voting for Biden). So, I feel towards them like any trump voter: Fuck 'em. If the cops bust their teeth in, fine. At the end of the day they hate me and wish me harm. Not wringing my hands.
