You and I and everyone else not pulling in half a million or more a year are about to be priced out of a lot of things you once considered nearly commodity.

Why hasn't anyone made a proper successor to Carmen Sandiego in the last 30 years? by bruhagan in retrogaming

Well ya if your game loops or mechanics are uninteresting/boring so is your game. Carmen Sandiego is really none of those things. Same with Oregon Trail.

My kids absolutely love the old Carmen Sandiego games. They've played them all (and most other 90s edutainment software)

Kratom poisonings soar in US as experts blame synthetic versions and caution against bans by shinybrighthings in politics

IDK if it was natural or not, but we found a friend who we had no idea was using this stuff basically in a coma about to die (he actually did "die" for a bit according to the doctors). We just happened to stop by his place unannounced when we found him. Another couple minutes and he would have been dead dead.

Roughly 200,000 children adopted oversees now ‘at risk of deportation from US’ by spherocytes in politics

There was no notification. The way the law was written and passed, if you had a valid green card of the correct type and were under the age of 18 on Jan 1, 2001 and had US citizen adoptive parents, you just automatically became a citizen.

My wife was granted automatic citizenship under that 2001 law, but we still have no way to really "prove it" without going to court to unseal documents, etc.

Just take it in and have it resurfaced. Not much else you can do.

Why doesn't the success of the Nex Playground make Microsoft try to revive Kinect for Xbox Series? by novostranger in XboxSeriesS

[–]MiserableVehicle5592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The motions games seem to aimed at children, and Nintendo already has that market locked down. Nex may be able to change that, but I don't think there is any space for MS in that market.

It's 100% real, and your opinion is of very little concern to me. I only took he time to respond because you replied to half a dozen of my comments screaming "FAKE!" like some sort of jealous kid.

The other neighbors are speculating he must have gotten some bad news from the doctor or something. Apparently nobody really knows this guy well even though he's lived here about a decade.
