Agreed, the man bankrupted a casino. How do you bankrupt a fucking casino?!

I’d argue that a cretin is the best type of fascist to have as an opponent. Nobody really wants to square off against some Machiavellian genius if at all possible, right?

That repulsive orange dolt is so inept that I keep expecting to hear that he slipped and broke his skull on one of those golden toilets of his. Even his own allies don’t really like him, this situation is like some kind of delirious stage farce with an antagonist who has no redeeming qualities. If shit hits the fan, he’ll have already insulted or impugned every single person to whom he might have called on for aid, and they’ll all want to out-maneuver him instead for all of the indignities and insults he’s doled out.

Never heard of Beat 'Em but LMAO the Honest Gamers review is so harsh.

Taking control of two blocky blondes in the nude, you’re supposed to gulp down falling drops of semen being spurted from the freakishly endowed man lurking in the rooftops. Of course this is on the 2600, so his mammoth member actually looks more like a giant nose complete with itty bitty eyes; but while the graphics might have been good for their day, you’re not going to find them the least bit arousing unless you’re an utter twat.

I’ve been hearing that for a while (and it was said for a long time before my time), but they’re still keeping afloat somehow, despite several generations of getting railed by the conservative politicians, lawmakers & industry that they love. The math just doesn’t check out, how long can people hang onto a ledge by their fingertips while cheering for someone who spits in their face?

100% it does lol I wonder how the rascal got his mitts on a copy.

I’ll be damned, it was almost addressed by legislation in a similar way as car insurance then, if I’m understanding the broad strokes (penalty for non possession)? That being the case, was the penalty via taxes not routed in much the same way as simply paying taxes overall, except only as a means to cover some of the cost for those least able to afford it?

People are generally pissed about paying sales taxes which achieve much the same outcome minus the carrot-stick approach and penalties, how much more or less pissed were Americans about getting ‘nudged’ in the right direction with income tax penalties by comparison?

It’s still counter-intuitive to me, the thought that any country/state would try to save money by rolling back coverage for immunizations. The total loss to GDP from chronic and acute health problems is nothing to shake a stick at, denying coverage for immunization is like a country shooting itself in the foot (assuming that they can cover the cost to begin with).

Going waaaaaaay back for that 8-bit raciness.

Oh man, did you ever. I would have killed for some of the custom game guides I’ve seen people upload to the 'net over the years, even just one of the maps for the old grid-based Ultima-style games. Even as recently as N64, I’ve abandoned games only to speak with people and hear about how to beat levels years later.

Just brutal, I can’t imagine losing my job and home because I got sick. It’s been the case for many thousands of years typically, but it just seems so arbitrarily cruel to know that there’s a better system that’s been adapted (matter of opinion, I know), but strike it from consideration altogether because of the business model surrounding American healthcare. Paying higher taxes kind of sucks, but at least I’ve never had to remortgage for serious injuries.

Holy shit, yeah, that’s not good. With so many just barely squeaking by month to month, even that could be ruinous…

Damn, good to know that the bit about pre-existing conditions hasn’t been struck down yet. I had to look up YMMV :(

I can remember them being really difficult, but was it really a racket to get people buying the guides?

I guess that C64 players were making do with what they had on hand.

I was assuming that was all Rosie, but you might be right…

I don’t know, I always reset it. It’s one more clock to remind me of how much/little time I have while I’m drinking coffee first thing in the morning.

To be fair, I knew who he was but forgot his name altogether. God damn, I was getting way too high from 2000-2005.

That story about Dr. Rogozov always struck me as something superhuman. I’ve only ever managed to perform very minor surgeries on myself, I just can’t imagine a major operation on internal organs - with or without the mirror for extra complication.

You know what, I’m adding that to my repertoire too. No sense in letting a good joke go to waste the next time there’s an event with name tags.
