When I was really young (6 or 7) on weekdays it was the credits music for Dexters Laboratory, which I think ended at 8? On weekends it was The Soprano's theme. My parents would check out the season VHSs and later DVDs from the library.

Oh man, 2024 really is the year of the pager

Agreed, though I'll take a Trinitron over an RPTV any day

Presto era Opera was fantastic. At the time Firefox was kinda stagnating and Opera was just innovating.

I'm curious about the quality of the Sega Saturn looking N64 controller. Nice haul btw

Funnily enough, the phrase "non-denial denial" was popularized by Woodward & Bernstein

Oh its not locked to first person, you just have the option to look and shoot in first person, like in MGS2

Also the first person view made a bunch of fights stupid easy

Major fan hear. BallisticNG is such a love letter to WipEout, its fantastic

I'm actually pretty opinionated on gamepads.

For most arcade games, fighting games, and most 2D PC games I tend to go with a 6 button Sega style gamepad. The D-pad really lends itself to fluid, rapid movements. I honestly like them so much that I've picked up 6 button ASCII pads for my PS2/PS1 and Dreamcast.

For PC games, Retro-bit makes good ones that are officially licensed by Sega. Their original wireless Saturn pad was my go to for years. They also made an updated version with dual analog sticks and four triggers instead of two, which I quite like. They also make a larger pad based on the original Sega Genesis pad, but it lacks triggers and only has one start button. 8bitdo, which is a fantastic company, also makes a 6 button pad.

For everything else I use a DualShock 5 as long as I'm not using the D-pad much, and an 8bitdo Pro2 if the D-pad matters.

Eh biggest thing is the scent, which can be replaced by cologne/EDT, and the antiseptic properties, sterilizing any cuts or gashes. Even for the antiseptic stuff, alum should be enough.
