I own a couple actual vintage arcade machines and paid less for them than this. If you shop around you can find deals.

I also have one of these 1up cabs and it is definitely not like vintage. Software may be the same but it is using a modern monitor not a CRT. I think I paid around 300 for it several years ago. Not full size.

They’re actually earning the nickname Worst Buy.

I LOVED TA back in the day. I recently bought it again off Steam.

Atari 2600 gamez! Very cool. I still have my 2600 and the TV I used when I was a kid. Both still work.

Also, so glad someone put arcade games on their list.

Ultima IV !!! Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

I played that on my Commodore 64 and waited a loooong time for the (actually floppy) disk drive to spin up.

I bet most people here don’t know any of the Ultima games.

Fuckin SHUT UP!

We don’t want to give those MS assholes ANY ideas.

Degoogle instead.

Cool, thanks. $5 -$6 / month is cheap.

I’ll bite. What is frugal Usenet?

I’ve always been pretty bad at Tetris. This video was very engaging and entertaining. It tells a great story.

Consumers are getting fucked. Media companies will continue to make it worse while trying to improve their bottom line. How long until it is all pay per view at sky high prices that only keep going up?

I try to own my media in physical form as much as possible. But I don’t think it will be long until physical is not an available format. Or unaffordable, like vinyl is now.

We should have resisted and stopped the DMCA. We should stop all media being rental only. But we do not resist, we comply. We bend over and get fucked like the sheeple we are.

Until consumers take control of their government they will continue to take it up the ass from corporations. They count on you to comply.

I don’t think injecting someone with a sedative AFTER they’re handcuffed makes any sense. And if ketamine has any negative interactions with anything them it is not safe to inject anyone.

Has this really been considered carefully enough? If anyone might have died from it then it needs to stop until it has been studied very carefully and completely.

No one should die from being arrested. Stop the insanity.

I recently figured out that I can make fresh chopped baby spinach (and kale and chard) by chopping it up and frying it in my cast iron frying pan with some avo oil.

Top it off with lemon juice. Tastes great.

Whatever, bearded lady.

Circus in town?

Wow. You are one ugly lady.

If you really want to isolate it, grapheneOS lets you put it in its own profile almost totally isolated from anything in any other profile.

But you probably don’t want to buy a g! Pixel.

You could buy a separate phone and only run that app on it. Hassle but it would be secure.

God Gave Rock and Roll To You was a hit for Kiss.

It really is a Brave New World, isn’t it?

What a shitshow streaming is. So glad I’m not funding it at all.
