    I’m going to say Mario 64 just because it was a really good game that I enjoyed back in 96 and I’ve never heard of Nights Into Dreams until this post right now lol

    Edit: after looking up the game I’m going to say a LOT of people probably don’t know Night Into Dreams because it was released for Sega Saturn and not that many people actually bought that system at the time.


  • Probably it was the first time as a young adult that I found myself out of money and realized no one was going to give me any more. It’s kind of a jarring experience the first time you realize you have $50 left in your account, you don’t get paid again for another week, and mom and dad can’t help you.

    I’m honestly glad it happen to me sooner than later, because it taught me a lot about how to be resourceful, how to budget more carefully, and that as a grown adult I should really be able to handle these things on my own.



  • The term “retro” itself doesn’t even really mean “old”, it just means something is imitating the style of something older from 20 or 30 years ago. Just look at clothing for instance, “retro style” clothes could have been designed yesterday as long as they emulate an older style. *Vintage" clothes would be actual old clothes that were produced a long time ago



  • The McDonald’s kiosk sucks. It constantly tries to upsell you on every item or tries to get you to go back and add more items to your order even after you’re done ordering.

    The last time I went there I got a 10 Mcnugget “value” meal which still ended up costing $13. For that much I could have gone to a better restaurant and gotten a similar amount of food of much better quality.

    To me at this point the only benefit to ordering McDonald’s is convenience. They’ve basically turned what should be an inexpensive value product into a premium product, but the “premium” aspect of it is just that they’re open late lol
