I have to admit that the anticipation of launching a PS1 game is nostalgic for me. I feel like that's the last time that loading screens were bearable. At least until we got SSDs and indie games, lol

If something is called "[Nationality] [Food]" or similar, it's probably not related to that nationality.

New York Fries isn't from New York.

Boston Pizza is not from Boston.

Hawaiian pizza is not Hawaiian.

French fries aren't French.

I find both acceptable, but s.n.e.s to be too complicated. Somehow, "Super Nintendo" rolls off the tongue for me.

There's also "snezz" and "Super N.E.S.", Along with all the other permutations of pronouncing NES, lol

PS3 era, though that's pretty much on the edge of what retro gaming would be.

My PS3 mostly became a Rock Band machine, so I didn't play most of the other big games of the generation. I also associate the console with the poorest reliability of any console I'd ever had, the longest loading times, and the longest startup times. (Needing to download updates before you could play your game)

I had tons of great gaming memories with the console, even outside of Rock Band, but I just don't have nostalgia for the era (outside of the golden era of Western-developed Rhythm games).

How much does an Apple-branded one cost?

Counterpoint...if you're so regularly using a dock, you should probably just be using a desktop. And yes, I know a lot of employers assign employees laptops and then tell them to work hybrid and not have an office to give them. (I won't accept "devices should be stupid because bosses are stupid" lol)

You can still use a dock and have enough ports though. You don't lose the ability to use a dock just because you have extra ports, lol

For an Apple-branded one?

That's how much the official Apple docks cost?

I'm glad I can purchase an external dock for an extra few hundred dollars to get the functionality back that existed in older models

Comparing version A to version B and highlighting the changes is already something software can do, so I hope that you're already aware of this. But if you're not, just know that it's out there! Lol

That's like paying at a restaurant by handing the waiter your entire wallet and telling them to take out the cost of the meal.

Isn't that basically how it works in the US?
