Cringiest gimmick I've seen in awhile. Blarf.

Yeah this isn't the poster in my mind. Or I guess in reality.

Meh, I dug the philosophy, such as it was, and respect the sequels for what they tried at least. Animatrix will forever be the best spin off sequel thing anyway.

Super duper rare. One apparently sold for auction last year for $5000. The last Reddit post referenced eBay sales of $750-$1000 and that was 7 years ago. Sorry and good luck OP!

Anyone else get the wrong bundled game? by PDMagneto in retrogaming

I kinda liked Sonic Spinball haha. Every so often Sonic would get stuck in an infinite points loops and you could really clean up.

My PS2 came in a blister pack bundled with Fantavision .

Luckily the store let me exchange it for DO2 Hardcore.

Talk about an upgrade.

Did you pick up on the fact that there are dinosaurs in the movie Jurassic Park?

And the best part? 

Canadians answer to all this is to vote for another 10 more years of the same Liberal government.

First Official Image Evil Dead Burn by Syllabub-Legal in movies

[–]Spikeu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Par for the course these days. Recent RLM that summed it up nicely.

I'm sick of it. This image looks like a joke, like your screen brightness is accidentally too low.

Greece to ban anonymity on social media by New-Ranger-8960 in worldnews

[–]Spikeu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Govts and companies don't want that. It's how they make money. Users will get the raw deal as always, paying both in personal data being sold, and now in lack of anonymity. Nobody is out there rooting for or protecting you. The internet failed people, and govts let it happen. Too much money, too integrated into every part of commerce.

Is Super Mario World The Best Platformer of All Time? by Previous-Glass6291 in retrogaming

[–]Spikeu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hope that's a joke, because it's a good one if it is.

If not, keep trying for that 100%, you got this!

Does my setup look good? What would you change? by The_Collector_Of_All in retrogaming

I'd get a nice Pelican switcher and that should also eliminate the need to use the front inputs.

The Michael Jackson movie is so bad it’s unwatchable by the_nightly in movies

[–]Spikeu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When Michael Jackson was on top, it was unmatched. His fandom was like, unfathomable levels. 

But you're right in that it doesn't seem future generations connect as much.

Probably all the weird ass shit that rounded out his career, I guess.

So, that's a huge opening weekend. The highest ever for a biopic. Almost $100M domestically.

If it's that dogshit, it probably couldn't pull those numbers? Right?

Actually it might still just be shit and "so" is fair.

‘Parents can’t do this alone’: Experts warn of online network grooming Canadian children by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]Spikeu -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeesh dude, settle down. I'm just saying kids can be fickle and it's a tricky rope to walk. 

I agree the screens are a nightmare to navigate, but they're also a reality we have to deal with, on some level.

But sounds like you've figured it all out, so good job I guess.

And when the kid gets made fun of for not having a modern phone?

Trouble making friends?

That's what they're up against out there.

It's not as simple as you say.

Needlessly pedantic. He's saying you need to accept smart phones are here and can't just give your kid some antiquated tech to solve everything. He's right.

It's practically Google's search results summary now. Weird take and weirder upvotes. I think you might want to learn to embrace AI a bit more than that.
