NGL, that’s true. But they are quite small, support HDMI-CEC, and run cold.

Edit: new ones hardware decode AV1, too

2x previous gen of these.

Man, I love them!

Very well put!

You really nailed it mentioning the scale of the world. In retrospect, everything did feel “right sized”. And, yes, the freedom you’re allowed for such a linear game was amazing, to say the least.

Man, I wish I had the patience to articulate as well as you did 😅

Half-Life: Alyx, hands down.

I may have cried a little bit after my first round at it.

It’s also quite old.

I prefer the original, but to each their own.

Yeah, that art style looks very familiar. I’ll have to look into it more, since I’m starting to doubt some of the other details I provided. Oh, and the wiki says the animated series started airing on Canal+ in 1996. Maybe it aired elsewhere before?

But yeah, I think this is it 👍.

P.S. Iznogoud, like “is no good”. I must have misremembered his name, cuz that makes sense!

Oh, man, when I was a kid around 1990 I was in France (maybe? Pretty sure it was somewhere in Europe), and they had this subtitled cartoon (I didn’t know either language) that “starred” a villain named something like Amin Tumani (“I’m in to money”, but made into a name) that was a stereotypical middle easterner. And to add to the crazy I’m 99.9% sure he died at the end of every episode.

If anyone knows anything about this cartoon, LMK.

I had to get rid of my US Robotics (freshly rebranded from… I can’t remember?) 56k when I moved last time. Part of my soul was left with that modem.

This modem:

Fourteen forty? You ballin! My 4800 baud ain’t got shit on you!

(I can still hear the different connection handshakes)

+1 for vwvortex!

I haven’t snorted that loud in public for quite a while

Tungsten!

But you’d still have your handsome face, and that modeling career in Albania (or some Balkan country)… Still.
