I think it was pretty rare, at least after the first year or so. I had a Game Gear maybe a year after it launched, and I desperately wanted this as a kid so I could watch TV in my bedroom or on car trips. I searched everywhere, called stores, etc. but never did find one.
This question always depends heavily on where someone lives and someone’s expected standard of living.
Someone who lives on that much already thinks it would be enough for them until they die, but they might not have ever had open market insurance, and likely not a catastrophic illness while on it. That kind of thing makes you realize how financially vulnerable you really are. It’s not about steady state while healthy, it’s about contingency planning.
I’m in a situation where I could probably relatively safely retire with $2 million, but like you I would be nervous about $1 million.
Thanks, it was a genuine question since I haven’t seen the latest coverage. I guess Russia’s missile defense is doing its job since I haven’t heard about power in Moscow being shut off yet.
It’s like the penultimate form of justice.
What’s the ultimate form then?
Is Ukraine “allowed” to fire missiles into Russia yet?
befingered
I don’t mean to be rude given this is clearly a passion project, but who is this for?
First of all, no one is praising this, so that’s one demerit.
Second, “sheeple.” Two demerits.
Third, I’ve had to down vote way too many of your posts lately.
Three demerits. I’m afraid it’s detention for you
Ah, New World Computing… synonymous in my mind with vaguely incongruent art direction, an absolutely unrestrained amount of pillow shading, and just enough almost-imperceptibly incompatible perspective lines to give you a slight feeling of unease while playing the game.
My recommendation is don’t buy a plasma in 2025. I feel the same way about smart TVs, but you can just, like, not connect your TV to the Internet. That’s what I do. It works fine.
I used to own a really high-end plasma and held off on replacing it until high-end 4K OLED screens became more affordable, but I swapped it out about seven years ago and haven’t missed it.
I was playing the original Castlevania on it just the other day. Game mode, RetroUSB AVS, and an 8bitdo N30 wireless controller, and the lag is only like 10-12 ms. I can play Battletoads just fine with this setup.
I wouldn’t quite say just another. She’s cozying up to Japan’s version of MAGA, and she’s another cult member, like Abe, which the government was trying to stamp out for a time. But generally you’re right.
The new Japanese PM is an ultraconservative nationalist who is cozying up to Japan’s version of MAGA. It’s like Javier Milei in Argentina nominating him. They’re on the same page.

My parents would have ensured my soul left my body if I had tried to call one of these
For those who are curious, it’s the Unification Church (AKA the Moonies). They’re pretty nutty. Like all good cults, their founder Moon believed he was literally Jesus Christ. Abe was assassinated because of his ties to it.
Japan didn’t just try to limit the influence, they tried to prohibit it entirely a couple years ago. Guess how that turned out.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Republicans ally themselves with Le Pen’s National Rally and sweep an RN candidate into the presidency and then they pardon Sarkozy. It seems to be the way of things.
That crossed my mind as I was reading too, but if he is, he’s never said it publicly. I’d like to imagine he’s not, even though he was clearly pro-business conservative back in the day.
Yep, just go ahead and pause and unpause the cease fire whenever you want, Israel. Definitely a negotiating partner operating in good faith.
The Israeli military said it had begun resuming enforcement of the Gaza ceasefire after it says it was “violated” by Hamas, signaling an end to strikes on the territory that it said were carried out in response to earlier attacks on its forces on Sunday, Reuters reported.
“In accordance with the directive of the political echelon, and following a series of significant strikes in response to Hamas’ violations, the IDF has begun the renewed enforcement of the ceasefire,” the military said in a statement.
It adds: “The IDF will continue to uphold the ceasefire agreement and will respond firmly to any violation of it.”
These idiots spend half the message praising themselves and the other half just spouting profanity and phrases that won’t convince anyone of anything.
If you want to actually have a chance at changing minds, just report the actual news that many Americans never see because their news sources bury it or don’t report it:
Et cetera. Americans who are in their bubble need to be disturbed out of their bubble.
What a delightful and talented person she was. My boxed copy of The Bard’s Tale III for Apple II and my giant book of mega dungeons are both on display in my house. They stand as small monuments to her and her wife’s contributions to the games industry.
