  • You’re totally right and its one that I never beat. I haven’t gone through it with an emulator either. There are some games I have since gone through with an emulator using save states that I didn’t beat legitimately back in the day, like Castlevania, that I recognize would have been HAF to beat without assists. I still may try Battletoads the old fashioned way because I have a lot of respect for that game. I’m pretty sure if I or one of my friends had owned the game we would have beaten it, but we never managed to over the course of several rentals.

    Bah. Their CVTs have been pretty decent since the 2018 revision. Don’t care about EVs, though they have a more proven platform in the Leaf than Honda has. The Frontier is one of the best selling (and best) small/mid-size trucks in the US. I think it’s the only one still actually made on a truck frame.

    So glad they’re seemingly done with Renault. Nissan engineering quality was top notch before that infernal partnership.



  • Well. There are some really dumb bicyclists out there.

    I have a real world example from just over an hour ago. I work overnights. I have to travel to different locations during my shift on certain nights. Tonight was one of those nights. I’m headed up to a location on a city street, 40mph speed limit, when I catch sight of a cyclist in my lane when I’m maybe 20ft from him. He’s peddling for his life but only doing 12-15mph or so.

    Why didn’t I see him until he was that close to me? Was I playing on my phone? Tired because I work overnights? No. He is a black guy, wearing a black hoodie with black sweat pants, on a bike with no reflectors on it. Riding down a city street in the middle of the night. I’m pretty sure this is the second time I’ve encountered this guy too (same ninja cosplay both times). The first time was at least half a year ago. Honestly I’m surprised he’s still alive, or at least uncrippled to the point that he can bike.



  • It was 8 years ago. AMD was on the verge of bankruptcy and Intel had been propping them up for years so they wouldn’t have to deal with the government going after them for having a total monopoly. If Zen had been a failure AMD wouldn’t have survived. I figured Intel had advanced stuff in the pipeline that they were just sitting on waiting for AMD to force their hand (because they were dicks like that). I was wrong.
