I guess we’re never gonna get to see that super futuristic PS9 that was envisioned back in that old PS2 commercial.

They’re both competitions.

Chinese kids grow up learning how to cooperate instead of how to compete.

But Itchy and Scratchy was literally a parody of Tom and Jerry poking fun at how central violence was to the humor.

Tech guy discovers enclosure.

I’ll be honest I don’t really miss a lab full of win95 shit boxes further crippled by net nanny. It was just a partial escape from the other abuses of middle and high school.

My security best practice of forgetting to update for several months in a row finally pays off.

Butters looks a lot like my furbaby, including the seal point footies! Her opinion on water seems to be “The wider the bowl, the better”. I think she doesn’t like feeling her whiskers get squeezed by a narrow bowl. She would love a super-wide birdbath like this.

Which was a completely arbitrary unforced error from a marketing perspective, setting back acceptance of video gaming as a ubiquitous thing everyone does by decades, pigeonholing them into a thing that only maladjusted angry young men do. You have the asinine marketing choices of the 90s to partially thank for the toxic exclusionary culture that still exists in many games today. They could have had every kid, girl or boy, cool or nerd, playing video games in 1995 but patriarchy said no.

Ironically, it was counter-counter-counter culture, reacting to the vestiges of Reaganite pearl-clutching that still wafted through life and politics of the time. Same influence that inspired “badly behaved” cartoons like The Simpsons and South Park. Video game advertising just leaned into that last counter too hard and landed in misogyny.
