I hate it the most when it’s a link that looks like it will go to the source but it just goes to another, older, story on the same site.

It’s a purity test, you either parrot the party line or you’re not part of the party.

I remember the trackball on mine would light up different colors. I had a Pearl.

When I think of a pamphlet I think of the trifold thing or something similar, a zine would be several pages usually, probably staple bound. Though not as big as a proper magazine. I feel like a small pamphlet would be a postcard, or a one-sheet, or a leaflet, or something.

Trucker humor…

But for real when you’ve got 200 gallons of diesel to pump and you only get paid by the mile, you don’t wanna be waiting on some asshole who decided that now was the best time to update their logbook.

I originally thought that they were only talking about the Display ones not all models total. You are probably right it goes a long way to explaining how they were able to sell 5 million in one year.

Depending on your visual impairment they may not help at all. For instance there are zero models that come with an astigmatism correction strong enough for me to use them.

Everything I am seeing says 7 million total globally as of the first quarter of this year. Which is still quite a bit more than I thought they would’ve sold.

It doesn’t look like this was a year ago, it looks like the 7 million claim is total as of this first quarter of this year. Even still I’m not sure I totally believe that they managed to sell 5 million in the last year.

I wonder how much longer we’ll be able to buy 4K Blu-rays then…

Yes, but also no… For instance there were definitely bugs in Mario 64 that were corrected in later editions of Mario 64 like Mario 64DD and the one that came out on the DS. One very famous bug that’s been corrected is the ability to backwards long jump up the stairs in the upper section of the castle before having enough stars to climb the stairs.

Obviously these weren’t game breaking bugs in the same way that day one patches are fixing things, but it’s also not exactly correct to say it didn’t happen in the before time.
