Train rails are a specific distance apart to maximize the efficiency of changing tracks once a lever is pulled, presumably in the face of a choice during dire circumstances.

How did they get so much worse than EA? It's almost impressive.

They got bought by Activision, a company that launches games without microtransactions and then adds them in later via patch so that the microtransactions can't be advertised on the first-print boxes.

Good god, I remember I'd just come back from that summer in Chicago , went to a party, got home after not sleeping for 3 days and had the choice of a. sleeping or b. going into the city to buy Turok for the absurdly overpriced n64 we'd bought without any games.

I went and got Turok, got home and sat like a cabbage looking at the AMAZING water effects.

Honestly, I regret nothing.

(If I had been the one paying full price for the n64 I would have regretted plenty)

Turok still holds up. I stand by Turok 2 as well, despite it being really flawed.

sorry to derail (to be honest i mostly just kibbutz rather than contribute tweets, i'm one of those fuckers) but why in the hell are rapid tests so scarce in the states? or are they not, if you pay out the rear end to buy them privately?
when i need rapid tests i walk up to a guy at a folding table in the park, say my postcode and he hands me a 7 pack no questions asked. well one time he handed me a 20 pack. the UK has supply issues as well (pharmacies are supposed to have them and basically stopped getting shipments) but they've been more or less available.

Panic buying and scalper hoarding. Turns out being a capitalist means profiting off dying people on even smallest of scales!

I was a teenager living in Sheffield with the OG nerd shop, the forbidden planet. You walked in and there was a huge Hans solo in carbonate statue by the front desk and then you had your areas for marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr who and X men. There was a lot of holographic Klingon ship art on the walls.

Basically exactly the same things were popular then have become even more popular as subsequent generations have been exposed to them, only white men and those self hating women in the mid 90s who built an entire personality round “I’m not like other girls”, can no longer gatekeep and make people wandering into stores like the forbidden planet feel uncomfortable.

I think the issue now is that capital N nerds and super fans were never really casual with their fandom, so they weren't fringe. The majority was neck deep in the culture. Now, they're feeling isolated, because a ton more people are in their extremely huge space, with a lot of them looking at how absorbed they are and being like "What a weirdo." They are now the minority and are a potential target for ridicule in a space they originally considered their own.
