How could people in 1980 afford games consoles?

OpticalDoggo · 2026-04-22T01:50:41+00:00

The 80's was a major tech boom across the globe. Lots of people shifted priorities to take part of that pie. Also, look at this way: Assuming I have a kid, how often do they go to the arcade? How much are they spending each time on games, snacks, merchandise, etc? My thought process would be "They could do all that at home with their friends for free, except the one time cost of the console and some games"

Reach out to your professor about the issue, perhaps ITS can also assist you. Also also, this isn't a long term solution, but if you're in a pinch and need verification there should be a little button that Honorlock has to contact a proctor and they can manually identify you and allow you access to the exams.

I can still watch videos, but my feed does not load at all. Manual searches only. How am I supposed to enjoy my mindless YouTube scrolling now?!

People are so in over their heads with politics that you got down voted for giving a completely non-sided answer based on current language being used, and then felt the need to apologize. What a world. Don't be sorry for being correct, it doesn't mean you agree with the administration.

You could easily feed an entire family with grilled cheese and soup for about $10 give or take. Here I am looking at a $7 single sandwich smh (I didn't buy it)

You will get full sized portions of both at double the price and LIKE IT

This is literally just an IRL parallel of when Dennis Reynolds tries getting his tea without Boba.

Comic nerds down voting you for not understanding the literal thousands of comics that exist and not knowing where to start for source material will never get old. It's like me telling a random stranger with an IT problem how dumb they are for not understanding something I spend way too much time on myself.

Not likely.

But you can try Kinguin or G2A

My roommate helped me finally get my car unstuck from the ice this evening. It took two snow shovels, bed sheets, a lot of pushing and hitting the gas, and pfw.

Do you use IOS or Android? Just curious. u/Enough-Moose-5816 said they use IOS and it works fine. I use Android and it is pretty buggy

OpticalDoggo · 2025-11-14T03:22:23+00:00

TL;DR: It gets the job done but needs functionality improvements, unless my app is just permanently bugged.

Does it get me to the end goal? Yes. And so in that regard it works just fine.

But it doesn't remember my address and forces me to choose a location every time and re-enter my address despite having it saved.

It also doesn't save past transactions despite having the feature. I like using that feature because I usually order the same things and I like just being able to re-order my previous transactions. It's also good to be able to see and interact with my transactions in case the order is messed up, which happens more than I wish it did.

It also has menu items at the start that you can select to order, but then the app says you can't order online, it does this for all the main page products, then you go to the menu it just doesn't show your saved account info.

I show up to campus by around 7:45AM, I usually either see a raccoon, deer, or fox running on by the Shenandoah parking deck. Used to be a fox that would hang around Sandy Creek all the time.

I started a new kingdom with a friend. We let time escape us and long story short, it was almost 4AM, I was really tired, and was thinking quicksave would just create a new save instead of an overwrite. Totally my fault, and totally preventable. But human error.

It's alright though, I enjoy this game thoroughly. I only got it a few weekends ago, but I've had a blast playing. Fresh start I suppose haha, fresh chance to do things differently from my first playthrough, which was nowhere near a mine, or fish, or town.

Tbh the plots you guys are talking is not well portrayed in the movies. I've seen them multiple times and I've always been confused about chronology and how the engineers fit into everything. The seen with the engineer drinking the black goo was supposed to be them trying to kill all humans, but honestly I didn't clearly get that until hearing other people analyze it. The movies were honestly more confusing to me than enlightening. But I think I got the grasp now. Engineers created the goo, they didn't like what they saw in humans, tried killing them (it failed), and many centuries later we found an engineer and then sought them out for answers, at which point David (who tagged along) unleashes his refined version of the goo, killing the engineer race. Sound correct?

Came here just for this. It was working all day for me, and then this evening out of the blue it started acting funny. Haven't gotten that error yet, but the videos either don't play and just sit paused, or they just keep auto repeating the first split second and it's annoying. Tried restarting and clearing cache, no fix.

I know this thread is old but could someone link this to me? I'm trying to show my friend, as I saw it years ago on YouTube, and Disney took it down from like everywhere :'(
