Everybody knows it was Tetris and Burger Time

More like it's taking Phil a long time to realize Nintnedo has zero interest in anyone else's hardware. 

I get it though. I mean the way he sees Nintendo, I see Serena Williams. She just has to see it is better for everyone if she leaves her rich husband and settles down with a man that is willing to be a loyal house husband with a substantial comic book collection like myself.

Microsoft: "We would never engage in monopolistic activities!"
Also Microsoft: "HOW MUCH FOR THE COMPETITION??"
 
Also love how he tries to gaslight Nintendo at the same time too. Yet still they have been kicking their ass with their "inferior hardware"

The ninjas got to her so she wouldn't appear in other games. Nah bitch, you are staying put until prime 4

You know how in F-ZERO 99, blown up players are represented by a pile of pixelated ash and a name above said ash? I was driving by one and pile read "Samus Aran".  I'm sorry @Chadouken

Then SNES, for sure.

Prayers up for Chubb. Knees aren't supposed to bend like that 😣

I know Cuba is a whole other culture, but I have a Cuban sister-in-law and her social media stream is a seamless blend of touching family photos of relatives I never get to see in person, and thirst traps.
 
It makes checking Facebook deeply weird sometimes.

I just killed a guy to take 2nd place in F-Zero 99 and let out the most visceral scream I’ve done in years. 
 
You guys are right, this game makes a psycho out of you.

Ah, the 30 year old schoolyard debate. SNES ended up with way more timeless games, IMO. 

Oh man, thanks for lookin'.  I just realized what happened.  I was lookin' at the wrong number.  I was lookin at my C drives free space...for some reason I thought that was the install size but that's up at the top of the tab.  I freakin' uninstalled it and installed it again to see.  Im a dork.  🤣

The mid gen upgrade is different from the "Switch 2". I hate use this term but the "Switch Pro" got cancelled to due to COVID and the subsequent chip shortage. The Switch OLED was originally going to be the mid gen refresh. When chips became hard to come buy, Nintendo just stocked up on the current chips and canned the upgraded spec. The Switch 2 is  something else entirely. Also being "more powerful than a Steam Deck" isn't much of a feat. The CPU tech in the Steam tech dates back to 2019 and the GPU tech to 2020. What makes the Steam Deck so impressive is Valves work on the OS side. It's why things like the ROG Ally which stomps the Steam Deck on paper (4.3TF to 1.6TF) , yet barely outperform it in reality. By the time the Switch 2 launches the Steam Deck will have 5 year old CPU tech and 4 year old GPU tech. The Switch 2 is likely going to be somewhere between the Steam Deck and Series S in power . The Tegra T239 specs put it at about 4TF but Nintendo will do Nintendo things and it will probably end up around 2.5 to 3TF. It will use DLSS to make it look more capable than it actually is.
 
Side Note: Teraflops are not real accurate indicator of ability, I just used them for simplicities sake. 
 
Edit: ROG Ally "like for Like" has 4.3TF to the Steam Decks 1.6TF

It's a different kind of chaos than what MK8D brings.  You don't have any weapons to fire at people aside from your own car.  If you happen to get in front then you still have the masses behind you killing each other to get up to where you are but you don't have the threat of a blue shell or barely anything to knock you back down into the riff raff other than you own skill.  The thing is your lead in this game is only ever SMALL.  There is always someone right behind you...ALWAYS.  There will be times that a minor slip won't fully set you back but if you fuck up you may as well kiss that spot goodbye.

After playing F-Zero 99 I feel like cuddling a kitten, after Mario Kart I feel like strangling it.

So, I wonder what charges the driver's friend gets?  It's good to see they put a murder charge on him, despite that piece of shit being under 18.  I hope that conviction is fast and he has the worst possible prison experience for however long he lives in there, until one of the other inmates ultimately takes care of the execution for us.  Make an extremely harsh example out of that piece of trash.
 
Unfortunately the worst, most low-class garbage of American society seems to "out-breed" everyone else, so I'm sure he has 15 to 20+ siblings and cousins that are just as bad or worse than he is.

Sup ya. So my 1 year contract here in Qatar will soon be at an end. Oct 17th is my last day in country. I have mixed feelings about the job. But the experience overall was mind opening and I stacked some real cash. Traveling overseas will definitely be part of my life style.
 
I have a job lined up with Envoy air out in Phoenix. But I'll be in Dallas for my 6 weeks of orientation and training. Then head to Phoenix to work. Envoy opened up a new line maintenance base in Phoenix in 2022. So they're on a hiring spree. So this is a golden opportunity to get on with a regional airliner. That'll then get me on with their parent company. American Airlines. So @RSG3 sounds like we'll be able to have some drinks man.
 
Gotta figure out the logistics for moving back out there. Got car shipping quotes. And moving quotes for my things. I'm thinking I'll have to get a place set up in Phoenix first before training and setting up the move. So the movers have a place to deliver my things and car. I'm excited about this. 
 
That's the good news. But the sad news. It sounds like my neice isn't gonna make it. She fought her battle against DIPG the best she could. With so much positivity. But even with all the chemo and radiation. And drugs. It kept growing back. I over hear her talking with my mom. And she sounded  slurred like a drunk. But she's only 10 man. And she's going blind in an eye. Losing motor function again. 
 
I don't want to see her like that. I feel bad I wasn't there for the event my family threw for her. I wished my brother, her father. Followed up with the doctor I told him about in Germany. Who does the treatment where they use a vaccine to boost the immune system to fight the tumor. But he never followed up. 
 
Sorry for the long post. But yeah. Lot of things going on for me. But a 10 year old girl's life is soon to be cut short. 10 years fuking old man.....That lil girl tougher than me when I was her age. I don't know how I'd cope with it. She still out there living, smiling, loving and playing until the end.
