I've been falling down the rabbit hole of video game history and found out that SEGA, between the Genesis and Saturn, turned down a console partnerships with Sony (which had just had Nintendo break off development with them for the Play Station) AND Microsoft to build a console. The console landscape could have been very different had any one of those came to fruition.

I get lost in that, too. I love hearing the history/story of stuff and how such small little adjustments could have altered history.

I don't think its the worst Windows OS I've used and am grateful to have it ahead of 8 but still prefer 7.

I should really get around to trying Linux. One of these days. When I start running and having a healthy diet and etc.etc.
If you want to try linux, install virtual box. It lets you run linux inside of a virtual computer while you're running windows. That way you can try the different distros and screw around without worrying about messing anything up. Mint and Elementary OS are good ones.

Oracle VM VirtualBox

Ordering the Marvel Netflix shows, you say?

Daredevil season 1/Punisher season 1
Jessica Jones season 1/Daredevil season 2
Jessica Jones season 2

Iron Fist season 2/Luke Cage season 2
Luke Cage season 1
Iron Fist season 1/Defenders

IF and LC both had better 2nd seasons but were still shows I’ll never watch again. At least those 2 improved because DD and JJ has weaker 2nd seasons than 1st seasons.
This is how I'd rank them too.

Have you been to a game in Pittsburgh??
I'd say you gotta do that before anything.

I mean $40-50 a ticket in upper level for Yotes game. Just...buy a couple....or do you REALLY need to pay closer to face value? You can get pens attack end for $130ea in lower bowl. Pony up. It's a vacation.

Sorry if I wasn`t clear. Iʼm going to the Coyotes game regardless. Capitals game would be on top of it. I've already been to 3 games at Consol. Sat lower bowl 3 times including Captain Morgan club once. I donʼt mind getting something a bit cheaper this time.

I don't get why yinzers get so pissy about bike lanes whenever a news story comes out about Pittsburgh adding new bike lanes. Oh no, the 3 feet of road lost for the bike lane is going to be destructive towards traffic! That is so much worse than making sure bicyclists in this city don't die! You're going to make traffic for me so much worse, despite me living in Greensburg and never going into the city!

Yinzers are way behind the times.

This city will be dragged into the future kicking, screaming, and complaining that kids that grew up watching Jack Ham survived without any stinking bike lanes. Oh and the weather changes every day so bike lanes just liberals pushing their climate change nonsense.

Lemme guess... shoplifting? :laugh:
NO! DAMNIT! I posted the meaning behind my name, or didn't I? My xbox gamertag was suspectedkiller back when XBLive just came out and when you got killed in rainbow six you never knew who.
THEN I got a job as a external (shoplifter) loss prevention, or Assests Protection Specialist at Target.
One night my friend called me suspectedshoplifter,which I thought was funny and wanted to use here (but it was too big to fit) because Target security of the Target security watched me for months across several stores linking to my control over the CCTV Pan Tilt Zooms PTZ's and the multiplexor monitors. They had a secret room hooked up to catch me stealing.
I was a manager focused on external theft ONLY. Not people who worked at the store. When I wasn't there a guy who worked security got busted for theft of over 100k over years of theft. I had no idea. They thought it was me even though they couldn't catch me or prove it ( I didn't steal anything). Eventually got so fed up with my rebellious attitude they laid me off (eliminated my position (yeah right)). I was supposed to be offered a promotion to lead with my own store. I got royally f***ed and hate that guy whos name I won't disclose because I'm sure people around here would know this guy immediately.

****ing Letang. Does he know no bounds???!?
Oh that. Yeah it was a vague statement that would read out as if it was a poster from the boards, hah.

To clarify, I meant where I live if I gave his name, even first name or nickname, he was so popular and anyone who shopped in the store from my area would immediately know who I am and who I was referring to and THAT is what I am trying to avoid. He was an immensely popular person who had some rare form of attraction. That is part why/how he duped the entire store into thinking he was a good person when in reality he was just softening up the people to avert any ranging suspicions in case one were to arise.

I bet Sega kicks themselves constantly for that epic f*** up. But I am also glad because of the games that were developed because it didn't happen.

What the hell is this Star Wars Resistance crap, the animation is horrendous. I think this takes place right before the last Star Wars abomination of a movie with Poe Dameron because he's in it.

Marvel/Netflix pulled the plug on Iron Fist...

“Marvel’s Iron Fist will not return for a third season on Netflix,” Marvel told Deadline. “Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is proud of the series and grateful for all of the hard work from our incredible cast, crew and showrunners. We’re thankful to the fans who have watched these two seasons, and for the partnership we’ve shared on this series. While the series on Netflix has ended, the immortal Iron Fist will live on.”
