Did the hedgehog see its shadow?

---

Yes and thanks to the propagation of debris in the upper atmosphere due to Eggman's attack on the moon, we'll have Six More Decades of Winter!

Which is the most annoying type of death in a video game?

---

A glitch death that makes the game unable to be completed and forces you to reset, especially in a game without saving

Or a death from one of those stupid "enemy who chases you and follows your every motion, forcing you to constantly move" gimmicks (Shadow Mario, for example, who convinced me to give up on Super Mario 3D Land.)

Aren't IRQ conflicts annoying?

The IBM PC architecture is such a disaster, I swear... give me an Apple II any day.

Yes, I deliberately chose another disaster architecture, one such a mess it doesn't even have its screen pixels in order

What of ICQ conflicts?

---

Very unlikely, as ICQ numbers are very long.

Who won the 8-bit computer war, Apple or Commodore?

---

Commodore won the battle (most units sold), Apple won the war...

The "Platinum" Apple IIe was discontinued in Nov. 1993, the Commodore 64C in April 1994, but the Apple IIe Card hung on until May 1995-- I'd say it counts, just barely. After all, by then Commodore International was gone.

One wonders what would've happened had the Amiga captured the desktop publishing market rather than the Macintosh (and thus almost certainly dooming Apple to liquidation in the early 90's); with their production costs on the 8-bit machine so low Commodore may have kept making the 64 into the late 90's, or however long it would take until there was literally no one left to buy one. Can you imagine choosing between a C64 and a Pentium II?

Isn't Ariana Grande made of pure cuteness? 😻

She is, indeed, very cute.

And... so are you! =o

Is there a such thing as Robot Immunodeficiency Virus, or RIV?

---

Hm, there's Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, and Humans, Cats, and Robots are the three genders... so yes, there must be!

this was a reference I didn't get, wasn't it

JVC X'eye worth the money?

---

No retro machine is worth the money, honestly.

I had a CDX as a kid and I think I'd prefer that, you can use it as a CD player too, perfect for long car trips

Do dead malls interest you at all?

---

Yep; same category of interest of things like modern ruins; something that has all the signs of modernity but has been outright abandoned, that's really a powerful thing IMO.

There were some pictures going around on Twitter of an arcade abandoned due to Fukushima, it was so sad...

I wonder if any of those games actually still work?

---

I wouldn't be surprised if you could get them to, but I would be surprised if they work in situ... looks like the building is open to the elements, and must have been for years.

Here, have another modern ruin... Nara Dreamland was closed in 2006 (and demolished just last year) and there are plenty of things of people sneaking into it closed, but this review from when it was still open is IMO the most haunting...
