I gave up on Reddit a lot more easily than you did, that’s for sure. When King Julian told us that our concerns weren’t worth a damn, and when he said he wanted to emulate what Elon Musk has done to, er, with Twitter, I decided it was time to make tracks. You don’t HAVE to let heartless tech billionaires fuck you in the ass for the convenience. I don’t find this dick in the ass very convenient.

I think I blew up that KFC when I played Mercenaries on the Xbox…

Stupid people.

That won’t result in certain doom for the video game industry, no sir!

I was too young to fully appreciate the scope of the first death of the video game industry, but if it happens again, I’ll be paying very close attention. People will want a post mortem, and I may as well be the one to document it. (Maybe Microsoft will have to bury the Xbox brand in the same landfill where they uncovered all those E.T. cartridges.)

Is this like the Linux nerds’ version of the Crips and the Bloods?

Life sucks, no doubt, but you’re here and you have to get used to it. The best advice I can provide is slurp up all the good moments you can and savor the taste, so their memories will get you through the hard spots. Repeat until dead.

“If you don’t have these little ‘advertisements’ cleaned up by the time we get back, I’LL come to Quark’s… and believe me, I’ll have FUN.”

Man, now you just trollin’.

I get a laugh out of Sisko doing a silly child’s dance in Lethal Candyland, in that episode of DS9 when they make first contact with a bunch of gambling aliens. “Allamarane! Count to four! Allamarane! Then three more!” It’s those little moments in Star Trek where respected actors humiliate themselves for the sake of the plot that are just so great to watch. See also Armin Shimerman as the silvery announcement box in one of the early TNG episodes.

Good, the kill-billies can take a ride on the electric chair.

Busta WOOF!

Is cyanide an option?

Mission accomplished. Many, many times over.

Bustah-Woof!

Er, anyway. I’m holding it together. Just worried about the damn election mostly.

Lately, I’d get hypothermia.

Pirated kids are never as good as the originals.

…cry.

Young? How young? Because I’m older than most video game consoles…

Pop-Tarts. No store brand toaster pastry tastes like Pop-Tarts.

That controller doesn’t actually work with an Xbox Series though, right? It’s for cloud gaming.

I despise this decision. I should be able to tailor my experience to my liking, especially since I don’t play games online. What’s the harm in letting me have a joypad with six buttons on the front? It’s literally what Capcom fighting games are designed to use. Why can’t I have a D-pad that works well with fighting games? The Xbox Series controller is better than last generation’s joypad (and much better than the generation before that), but for some of us, it’s still not good enough.

Also, it’s unlikely that 8bitdo will buy a license to make controllers for the Xbox. It’s the least popular console of this generation. You’re charging for the right to make controllers for a game system that’s well behind its competitors. Why do that when you can make controllers for the Switch or the PC, where you can sell more product at a lower cost? It’s just… stupid.
