I didn't realize that today is the anniversary.

This looks interesting. Freeze-dried beef that can last up to a decade. Stock up now, so that you will still be eating beef while everyone else is eating crickets!

Was Iran’s Strike Against Israel a Psy-Op?

@Pawlicker @WALFTEAM WonderSwan is hard to get into thanks to MJR.

@BigDawg869789 I didn't include that because
1.) Without them there would be no industry/culture.
2.) There are people still making good games, you just need to know where to look.
3.) Even though they have the final say, it's usually the above choices that influence their decisions or defending those decisions. Without them, they probably wouldn't be making those decisions.

>scalpers should be winning just on the antics of WATA alone, who led the pack in making the retrogaming hobby completely unaffordable.

Emulators, flash carts, and repro carts exist which is probably why people don't see them much as a problem, despite all the legal issues. Video game collecting doesn't seem as popular anymore and people just want to play the games regardless of the means.

People have realized that downloading a ROM or buying a repro cart is morally no different than buying a used game as the original developer/publisher isn't making money off of it either way.

>speedrunners not getting any votes is interesting, but ultimately proves how essential GDQ is as an institution, which is: not at all.

In retrospect, I should've lumped speedrunners with esport athletes. They both turn the hobby into a competitive sport, but speedrunning generally relies on playing the game in a way the developers never intended (you can argue the same with esports, but I feel it is way more prevalent in speedrunning). Speedrunners tend to do their own thing and they don't affect other people's enjoyment of a game.

@Tadano The threat of nuclear war has always been a psyop to get people to accept one-world government.

And before you ask, no, I'm not one of those schizos who believes that nuclear weapons are a hoax. I can't see how the two bombs dropped on Japan were fake, but I feel like the whole threat of nuclear war after that is and has always been just a psyop.

@Weeble It's like having a conversation with Richard Stallman.
