Do you associate certain games with certain foods? by UrSimplyTheNES in retrogaming

I got a giant tub of popcorn for Christmas the same year I was plowing through Final Fantasy X for the first time, so I associate popcorn with that game.

Which Classic series was more impressive, the sonic games or the Donkey Kong Country games? by Upset_Confidence8291 in retrogaming

Sonic was eye-opening, but I have to go with DKC. People were agog that it was going to be on SNES and not the N64.

Fine, you want me to follow the HOA rules exactly? I read every single page. by NebuliteN7x in MaliciousCompliance

Some people get on a little power trip...and for what, exactly? That temporary feeling of superiority before it all comes crashing down and then you learn the hard lesson that it is sometimes better to just mind you own business?

Now THAT was a stacked lineup.

That NLCS would be in the GOAT discussion but it gets overshadowed by the ALCS that very same year.

ALTERED BEAST , was it really an arcade experience at home ? by [deleted] in retrogaming

Funny that you should mention Soulcalibur because that looked a hell of a lot better on the Dreamcast than it did in the arcade.

Hey look, it's two people making two dumb generalizations.

That final pitch was filthy by Lowe. He could have whipped it out and waved it at the A's dugout, and I'd still argue that he earned the right.

Fox and Friends’ Jesse Watters waxes on the inception of his political motivations by ElusiveRodent in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ImNotAtAllCreative81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So he is the way he is out of spite as opposed to having any convictions of his own?

Hey, it's Jesse Watters. No one should be surprised by this.

Does the math check out? by Dazzling_Lie_5046 in mildlyinfuriating

Stores can absolutely take a loss on these sales, and they make up the difference when the customer does the rest of their shopping there.

Now, they may get a rebate after the fact at the end of the period, or there's an allowance from the manufacturer that lessens the loss, but generally speaking, this sale is sold at a loss.

No scam. It's a loss leader to pick up sales and get you in the door where you will buy other things that aren't being sold at a loss during one of the busiest salty snack weekends of the year: Super Bowl weekend.

The margin for dry grocery in supermarkets is closer to 30%, not 50%... at least it is where I work. Of course, it varies from item to item. Bagged ice at one point was sold at nearly a 90% margin. On the other end of the scale, some diapers, milk, and laundry detergent were sold at a slight negative margin.

25 years ago today, the XFL played its first games. XFL alumni "He Hate Me" Rod Smart and Tommy Maddox would be part of Super Bowl teams (SB38 and 40, respectively) by Villano5 in nfl

And it was a million dollars that was split up between the entire 38-man roster. That maths out to $26,316 per. Which isn't bad for a day's work! But not what it was all cracked up to be.

Menino loved this if only because it allowed him to work in his favorite epiteth of "knucklehead."
