Vidya used to be good dopamine. Now it’s not. I mean from the start arcades were big because they had the best gfx and games and it was always from the start pay to play. Nothing has changed, the system of greed just figured out how to include this in every kind of game on any system - at our convenience mind you, because now in a click your bank account can be drained and it doesn’t even cost a postage stamp.

There’s some indie games worth playing that don’t have this but you gotta reset some expectations and realise that, with all that might be missing, micro transactions is also in that list.

Likely Mario Kart 64. Came out the same year as GoldenEye and they look too chill for an fps.

Here I was thinking these were a thing that came to be within the last 5 years.

Monitoring also shows that different species have different preferences: grizzly bears, deer, moose, and elk favour the open air of the overpasses, while cougars and black bears prefer the cozy coverage the tunnels provide.

The crossings also help maintain genetic diversity in wildlife populations, reconnecting the habitat on either side of the highway and allowing the different groups of the same species to interact.

Their economy is never in decline, never deciduous, always ever grand.

Acts like this only add more years of generational hatred to the mix and deal future counter attacks. Then surprised pickachu when it happens and clutching of pearls.

And for only 12.95USD a month I can continue reading to find out about this $35 watch.

This is why I loved science projects in school. It was impossible to fail!

It’s way beyond the threat stage. They’ve damaged so much

Unless there is a financial incentive to do so the costs to archive might be too high unfortunately, especially given the circumstances of the previous merger/acquisitions and licensing, the people responsible for the data were “right” to no longer bare the cost. It’s unlikely there is a physical hard drive of this stuff and even if it was then the hard drive could even have been repurposed or reclaimed. These are businesses at the end of the day and once the product ships, unless they own the IP there’s no reason to keep the data. Hell it could have even been in the contract to delete any Hasbro data after the license expired, and Hasbro never kept a copy themselves.

Culturally, and for the sake of a game library archive pirates are picking up the slack where elsewhere there are non-profit or government bodies responsible for archiving like the National Film Registry https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Film_Registry
