I think it’s the NES for me too. It was my dad’s, and he kept it in good condition. He mostly only had sports games for it though, and Super Mario Bros. I’ve heard the NES came with a combo cart for SMB and Duck Hunt, but we don’t have Duck Hunt and Mario is on its own cartridge. We also don’t have a R.O.B. I have no idea what that says about what time period or in what package combo he might have bought the NES.

Most recently, I got a copy of Super Mario Bros 3 and I’ve been playing through that. I also still like buying new games for it whenever someone like Limited Run publishes them. When I was there last, I bought Alwas Awakening and it sure feels wild to be playing a game on the NES that’s also sold on Steam.

Sometimes I would turn the DS off as a child when he popped up just to try to get a less annoying dialog on the next go-round

No, there’s only one Soyuz from the Russian side of things, and its seats are spoken for

What’s good this time around? In my cart so far I have Until Then, Disco Elysium, and MS Flight Simulator.

Pacific Drive is in there now too.

I’ve got to move on and be who I am
I just don’t belong here, I hope you understand
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way (My own way) 🎶

It’s opt-in because it’s a beta

It’s not designed to like Starliner, but Dragon can in emergency situations. Starliner has airbags to cushion it on touchdown, but Dragon doesn’t so it would probably be a much rougher landing for the astronauts.

Neil Gaiman?

Yes it is actually! When it finally returns, this Starliner will be landing in New Mexico at the White Sands Space Harbor, which is basically a backup space shuttle landing strip.

That’s fair. I’m not exactly testing their endurance, just use them for YouTube and podcasts, so it’s likely they’ve degraded quite a bit without me noticing.

This headline makes me think maybe AI isn’t as useless as I once thought

What’s wrong with OneUI? I like it more than stock Android these days. I know TouchWiz was the worst and most bloated Android skin out there when they were still using it, but ever since the switch to OneUI, stock Android has been playing catch-up implementing its features.

I would never praise these things, but I’ve been using the same pair for 5 years now. Why would they become e-waste so quickly?

This is a good point. It’s definitely a possibility something catastrophic could happen like that, but the small scale of the leaks and amount of extra helium on board makes it very unlikely at least.

I get that, but because the leak isn’t even on the part of Starliner that will go through reentry, whether or not it will impact its ability to survive the return trip shouldn’t be in question.

Wanted to clarify again since I wasn’t specific earlier. The capsule itself is airtight, no danger there. What’s leaking is helium, which is kept in compressed tanks in the service module and used to pressurize the reaction control system thrusters. The tanks aren’t leaking though, it sounds like the leak is somewhere between the tank and the thrusters, which is what needs to be researched.

Just to be clear on this again, they aren’t “stuck” because they’re in danger, the stay keeps getting extended so engineers can gather as much information as possible about the leaks before they return. Starliner is still fully capable of reentry, but this is Boeing’s last chance to collect data that can be used to fix these issues in the future. The leak problem is in Starliner’s service module, which detaches from the capsule before reentry and burns up in the atmosphere, so there won’t be anything left to study after the astronauts return.

It’s a troll account made an hour ago

Haha I came here to insult the Samsung keyboard but you’ve already done my job

Definitely not long enough for me to sit on the couch and play in the living room. I had to get a bluetooth adapter for that.
