Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

And made worse by the fact that the minimum wage hasn't kept pace with inflation. We haven't had an increase at the federal level since 2009, when it was raised to $7.25, which adjusted for inflation is the equivalent to $10.55. So that means that $7.25/hr today is worth LESS than it was in 2009. A...

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

"A bit" doesn't begin to describe. Between this and what stuff like cars cost these days, I have no idea how anyone affords anything. I'm arguably cherry-picking, but if you compare the 1984 Toyota Camry base MSRP to the 2024 Toyota Corolla base MSRP and adjust for inflation using the BLS...

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts

I own this one. Do you want me to post pics and write up a description comparing to other handheld consoles? It isn't one of the newer ones, however. I think the one anapan linked is the newest. I'd be interested in a fully write-up, but the thing I really am most curious about is the how happy you...

Re: Genre of the Month (APR 2024 TR) - Pleasant Puzzles

This topic didn't get a lot of traction since the forum was down. This is probably the most appropriate thread to discuss graphic and text adventures. They are possibly my favorite game genre, and they are generally just a big collection of puzzles tied together. I remember playing King's Quest II a...

I meant in the context of the handheld SBC-based emu devices like the Abernics and the Miyoos.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts

How are the d-pads, thumb-sticks, and buttons on the newer handhelds?

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

I bought a Motorola Moto G6 for $120 in November 2019. It still meets all of my needs.

So instead you're going to pay $450+ for that phone?

Re: Akira Toriyama has passed away

I think I said before, but I think Dragon Ball is better as a manga than an anime. The pacing is much better. I read through all of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z about ten years ago and loved all of it. I have actually been wanting to read through it again with my son, though I'd probably skip a cou...

Re: Board Styles disappeared?

That's a bummer.
AcidTech is the only style available on the board that I don't find difficult to read.
