Famicom World for one.

Well, yeah, I could say Reddit, Facebook, and any number of places that discuss homebrew games.

Any actual discussion you can link to?

That's quite strange as there's a ton of talk on other forums about the shmup offerings coming out.

Where's the link to this "ton of talk on other forums"?

My actual response is Blade Buster.

Seconded.

I'm not sure I want to involve everyone else here in participating in this debate but there are some aspects here that I find interesting in regards to socioeconomics.

Whether or not anyone else cares about it has no bearing on whether I care about it. The barrier of entry is objectively higher here, how much higher is irrelevant, my threshold of acceptance is 0.001. A properly coded website should use modals with dismiss properties onblur, this is an inexcusable offence.

The whole thing is that you're trying to make it out to be an impenetrable barrier to entry. It's not. It's annoying, it's not good web design, but it is not the fortress you're exaggerating it to be.

If you want to live your life in absolutes, fine, but be prepared to take some snark.

Your second comment is that I shouldn't try if my attempt will not make a large difference. So according to your logic, nobody in a democracy should vote because single votes don't mean anything. I make my choices because I have the option of making a choice, not in pursuit of any end goal. I'm not asking you to protest with me, I'm simply making my choice because I can. You should make your choice and respect me making my choice, there's room for both of us.

I realize sarcasm is lost on you sometimes, but you know damn well what I mean. 

I see your bullet train and raise you a flamethrowing robot dog.

Ohio-based Throwflame opened sales for its 'Thermonator' Tuesday, selling its 37-pound quadruped machine for $9,420 that is legal in all US states except Maryland.

Hey, Maryland VGSers, what's up with this?

Your logic for why it's acceptable is because lots of people do it. That doesn't make sense, can I murder someone if lots of other people do it?

Way to be hyperbolic about it. I'm saying most customers don't care. They may be annoyed, but it's not this great barrier to entry you're making it out to be. It's a simple x.

My solution: make their site analytics suffer from my choices

Yeah, I'm sure they're going to miss your one decision to not visit because you can't move your mouse three inches.

Well yeah, pr0n and warez sites.

And news and storefronts and blogs and...

They're all wanting people to sign up for this and that.

To anyone else here that develops websites, this is a prime example of exactly what not to do.

Do you only develop websites and not actually visit any? This is like half of the web now.

Is it annoying? Yes. Are customers suddenly not using websites because of it? No, they click the x and move on.

Imagine trying to walk into a store and someone steps out in front of you and won't let you by until you interact with them.

You mean like a greeter you see at tons of stores?

Say, "No, thank you," (equivalent of clicking on the x) and carry on. It's not that hard.

They never really taught the important things in school.

Wait... are you saying video game collector's actually go to GameStop

I did when they were named FuncoLand.  

It's all right. Probably the most overrated of the Monty Python movies. 

Stumbled across a mention of this on Reddit randomly. 

NES Slotmaster (laserbear.net)

Looks a little like a DIY Blinking Light Win. Requires some soldering. 

Thoughts?

I got to see the almost total eclipse in 2017 and still had the special glasses left over from it...but even I forgot all about the breeze that happens when it started to get dark!

Be sure not to use those glasses again. They only have an effective protection life of three years. Something in the film breaks down after awhile and they become less safe to use.

You could play little samson for free but instead you spent $3000 for the experience of og hardware.

I think most of those people spend $3000 for the experience of seeing on their shelf while firing up their Everdrives to play it.

the whole oj simpson trial really fascinates me.  there are literally hours and hours and hours of the trial's testimonies on youtube.  there is a multipart podcast covering the the whole story and related characters.  i love reading about the theories. there are videos dissecting his reactions, responses, etc.  it's a rabbit hole i've spent many hours down. 

Kato Kaelin was a trip to watch. He was like a proto-Paul Bro.

I like when the limo driver was about to testify, and just after he took the oath and sat down, you could hear him mutter "Jesus Christ!" under his breath.
