Yeah, I remember 2020 with a pandemic all over us and thinking to myself, this Trump guy did all he could. /s

Way to go, Canada! You’re on the list (physical market).

Crocodile Dundee IV

I don’t normally use Google TV, but I thought it was tied together with several other platforms and share many, but not all, of your purchases between the various services. I’ve been using Fandango at Home, formerly Vudu. Some years back Movies Anywhere hit the scene and looked to be entering that same space. I’ve also noticed that Amazon and Microsoft use basically the same library. I believe when there is a difference, missing content, it is usually because a movie studio is not affiliated with that service. So, Fandango is where I have my complete library, but I can find like 80% of it on a handful of other services as well (linked).

Child bank robbers in your area!

Stand and be recognized

I don’t know. Loved DD, and was quite good at it (as well as a few of my friends)! Sometime after 7 I believe it was, I went back to play DD with a friend, a friend I used to play the game with back in the day too. Well, I can’t remember how my friend fared, but I recall having difficulty, I think it was with timing. For one, getting off the starting line. The timing was different. I think there might have been a thing or two else different, maybe drifting but I can’t say, that really had me out of my element. I was not playing like I used to. Maybe too used to whatever modern one had been out at the time (probably 7). Other factors could have been at play, too. Again, it’s just this one trip to the past I’m judging it on, and it doesn’t really answer your question.

I probably played the most in Kart 64. As well, I have not had the time others have had in 8. And I did enjoy both the DS and 3DS versions, with not much time on GBA. Didn’t even touch Wii (oops).

Everyone gets a ride!

To me, I’ve always associated the PDA with devices w/o the phone capability, pre-smartphones. Those existed. Looked similar to modern smartphones, just bulkier and with less capability. That’s been the distinction for me.

Frankly, the only other word for (cell)phone or mobile has been smartphone. I don’t think we have a better word for them yet (pocket computer just doesn’t grab you).

That’s my understanding as well, about putting blood on the door frame. I omitted that. You may be correct about the rest.

At the Jewish holiday of Passover, as the story goes, the final act of God to convince the Egyptian Pharoah to free the Jewish slaves was to send an “angel of death” to slaughter all the first born children of the Egyptians. The Jews would be spared, or passed over.

I know you only asked if this headline was something of a joke, but I wanted to add a little context, maybe it’s relevant maybe it’s not. I think it is. I think it’s the kind of thinking that allows one to overlook these kinds of atrocities. Even call out others for their concern over your actions that are harming innocent people. Religion is cancer.

Thank you so much. I use iTunes to help maintain a personal mp3 library. I could and probably should use something else, but I guess I never learned. One day. But seriously, thanks for the version tip!

Which version is that? I’m interested myself.

Maybe it’s because it’s a definitive version and not the original release.

I’m guessing the prettiness attracts more than a great gameplay. But I’m basically there with you.

Basically what I’ve seen everyone stream on Twitch throughout the year.

Keep em

I have recently discovered Qobuz (French company). You can purchase digital music. They aren’t cheap, but they have selection and hi-res music (sometimes 24 bit).

But good on you for the CDs, too!

I once bet a guy a $1 that I could take two people, one a stockbroker the other a homeless person, and trade their lives to see the social ramifications. Lotta laughs, that’s for sure.
