I had the Nintendo Power issue with the Metroid maps in storage until relatively recently. I have great memories of that game even though it wasn’t the one that really sparked my interest in it being a hobby.

No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you’d get your ass kicked sayin’ something like that, man.

I will talk shit about a lot of printers, but I’ve had a Brother workhorse laser for years. It’s black and white. You tell it to print and it spits out pages. I don’t know if they still make them that way but they used to be amazing at the very least.

I played a lot of Elden Ring with a steam deck plugged into a cheap TV. I wouldn’t want to play anything competitively on one, and I wouldn’t want to play FPS on it like that, but overall it wasn’t bad.

Get the lowest model with a microSD card and go to town for a few hundred bucks. If it’s ever not enough it’s pretty simple to break one open and replace the drive with a 1TB drive. I have dozens of games installed across microSD cards and shaders filled my drive. Took me about 20 minutes to replace it. Would take someone with no knowledge probably an hour.

I had a OneXPlayer 1S. It worked pretty ok. Windows on handheld sucks. Support sucks. Form factor wasn’t the worst but was definitely nothing to write home about.

I know about the others. Looked into them before the Deck was a thing and none of them were for me.

We used to put warm beer, ice, and salt in a cooler to cool the beer down quickly on Friday after work. It worked great for that.

I killed an old exchange server with an auto reply to a coworker who had an auto reply to me.

Those were the good old days.

Do you mean greatest as in most grievous or greatest as in most awesome?

The Burning. I want to call it a Friday 13th part 2 rip-off but they came out the same year so that’s not terribly likely I suppose. So maybe a bad Halloween homage that takes place at summer camp.

I was an insufferable ass. I was too cool for everything. I was counter-culture, but that got too cool so I became counter-counter-culture. When that was too cool I basically just booked myself down to one niche interest.

I missed out on so much actually cool shit because I was so insufferable.
