The OG Playstation had, by far, the biggest collection of games that I consider my favourites.

What’s to stop them from just going a generation back and using DDR4 instead of DDR5.

There is no one who can convince me that it makes any noticeable difference anyway. When I was putting together a new/used desktop I specifically looked for DDR4 for precisely that reason and I would take any bet that a performance hit would be measured in numbers too small for any user to even notice.

Constantly needing newer hardware with only fractional improvements is the biggest scam in tech. They took their lesson from Apple and Samsung.

When I was a teenager and I liked a girl, I’d do everything I could to impress her.

I can’t even count the number of bands I was suddenly “into” because the woman I was interested in at the time mentioned them in passing. 😂

I was using “you” in the royal-sense; as in “anyone” or “oneself”. Didn’t mean to imply that you specificially do that. I apologize if it came across that way.

To each their own I supposed. But I firmly believe you retain more knowledge, the more senses that you use when learning.

If I’m reading the material (sight), highlighting the notes (touch), and listenting to the prof (sound), I’m triggering more synapses and as a result hold more of the information in.

Letting an A.I. summarize it for you, or just recording in on a laptop voice-to-text while zoning out for the hour of that class, is completely useless because you don’t actually learn anything except how to ask the computer for the answer.

Going to university in the late 90s/early 00s, when not everyone had home computers and especially not laptops. We had the computer lab in the basement where were could go to print out essays, do research, etc.

There was the library as well with a few computers on each floor, but those were always taken, and lab access came with our tuition anyway.

Other than that and a rather simple cellphone, we were device free. We still took notes by hand, copiously highlighted lines in ridiculously overpriced text books, met with friends at the coffee shop to study, and essentially kept technology compartmentalised.

Do I miss it? Oh hell yes.

Serious question? Has there been any study into why the stats are higher there?

I’d be tempted to say it’s because giant trucks that cowboys tend to prefer have both a) lower pedestrian visibility, and b) higher mass, leading to greater damage in a collision with something soft and fleshy like a human.

However…I’m the first person to admit that correlation is not causation. Was just wondering if studies have been done.

Well, that’s just what the ass-crack bandit would say to throw us off their trail, isn’t it…

Friends.

While Seinfeld is certainly overrated and hasn’t aged well, at least it had its memorable moments that still get talked about today (Mostly Kramer Hijinx, to be fair…)

• Kramer vs Kenny Rogers Roasters
• Kramer and the Rickshaw
• Soup Nazi
• 'They’re real…and they’re spectacilar"
• Mulva
• George saves the whale.

Just of the top of my head.

Friends, while popular, is ultimately forgettable generic sitcom crap. I struggle to think of any actual memorable moments other than “Pivot”
