early 3d graphics were poo poo on consoles, I was there. it looked uglier than 2d sprites, the controls were poo poo or at least much worse than 2d predecessors (yes I am talking about Mario) and many game creators seemed to think that having 3d absolved them from creating actually good games

yep, ps1 was definitely the worst graphics ever

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

I created this for an SH/SC thread in the mid-2000s making fun of those video cards with the crazy names, is this getting passed around like it was an actual card?

the art is from an edgy and extremely dated comic called “Battle Pope” and the box was just some random thing i found on Newegg

the fit (or jazz in some markets) is an excellent car. if my boy racer hatchback hadn't come through then i would have gotten one of those.

I used to really want one of these when they first came out, but dealers were charging way over MSRP because it was so popular. I got a Yaris instead (a manual one at least)

I had a fit for a while and it was a good car, held its value really well too, i think i ended up selling it for like ... what, $3k less than what I paid for it after 4 years.
