Re: Sad
Yeah, people is so lazy nowadays.
Someone I know of passed the computer class in high school due to cheating; and it was using the completely unsecured computer classroom local Ethernet.
In other words that someone copied the answers and work from other people because it was in the early 2000s and Windows 98/Windows 98 SE was still in use.

I have two shopping styles, one when I go to the close Supermarket, a place I don't like, were I shop at the speed of "I need to use the toilet soon" and the other when I go to the supermarket I like , but that is freaking far away, were I take a long time looking to see if there is something in discount I may want because is really far away and I don't go there a lot
BOFH: You'll find there's a company asset tag right here, underneath the monstrously heavy arcade machine
I am quite sure about a third of the readers would have fixed the Arcade machine or at least replaced it by a M.A.M.E cabinet, only it still takes money. Those lunch breaks are so long... and why play a freemium game full of ads in your phone when you can waste ten dollars for 15 minutes playing an Arcade game? After all we have to find a way for people to go back to the office... and it takes less space that a pool table!
Even better, make the thing a Coffee maker too. Play Tetris and get an expresso for the same price!

[It's the only way I can explain the rise, fall, rise, fall and rise again of handheld gaming consoles]
Nintendo never ever had a fall with them.
Since the Game & Watch to the Switch and Switch Lite; they have been making a lot of money out of them. Sure sometimes their sales slowed but then something, be it Pokemon for the original Gameboy, a price drop for the 3DS, make them rise like the Phoenix and make a lot of money.
In fact handheld gaming consoles is the one thing that Nintendo always good at and keeps giving them money.
The losers are the companies not named Nintendo.
