    The old ways are gone, possibly never to return in our lifetime. My PS5, Steam Deck, and mid-range 2021 PC will have to do for the foreseeable future.

        Some might, but others will probably make games with ridiculously high requirements so the only way most people can play them is via cloud-based subscription services.

          Remember when America was great and didn’t need to be “great again”? Pepperidge farms remembers…

            Ummm…no.

            Better than this? Yeah!

            But, fuck man, the term banana republic only exists because of us.

              I dunno I remember a time when Japan decided to fuck with America’s boats and then they decided this whole World War 2 thing was getting pretty out of hand and decided to make it stop. They maybe went a little bit too far, but that was still generally pretty great of them.

                Oh, well, the fact that we saw it all as “not our problem” until then kinda makes us opportunistic assholes, though. Especially since we exploited the hell out of the post war circumstances. Shit, original concept for the UN gave us the only veto. But we had to bribe the reluctant countries with something.

                Oh, don’t forget that the horrible evil enemy everyone was fighting took a LOT of inspiration in the mechanics of how to be so evil directly from American politics.

                So, helping end the war? Yeah, that’s generally a pretty cool thing. Everything else? Ummm, yuck.

                The myth we were all taught about the nobility of our country was never true. For fucks sake, the founding of our country was upon the genocide of the native population.

                No, we’ve never been great. Sorry.
