@DanRoot_VGAS @kalechow How is this? Vintage - Gen 1-2 Retro - Gen 3-5 Pre-HDMI - Gen 6 Online Services - Gen 7-8/9 (we need to see how the next consoles shift to see if the cutoff should be 8 or 9) I understand that Xbox had online play, but very little online "services" such as online storefronts.

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21. The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided. I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley. She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained. Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000. When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed. Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism): 50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective. I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life. The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk. We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21. This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast. You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change. To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward. As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice. It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome. Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

@jscoggins @SandyofCthulhu @jondelarroz ha ha ha, do you think they care even a little bit about the fandom???

@SandyofCthulhu @jondelarroz "...because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans...." This is obviously ridiculous rage bait that I'm falling for just by saying... No smart executive would hit Restart unless proceeding would be much worse for the fandom

This is the guy responsible for canceling Stargate. His name is Blair Fetter. He came from Netflix.

@Null_and_Void_0 @LimitedRunGames @GringoStarr2029 @TheJDx56 two cr2032 batteries later and it works again. The two sides mate up, or maybe its the old glue still being a little sticky, but It kinda sticks together enough for sitting on a shelf and showing off occasionally that I didn't reglue it or come up with a new way to connect them

@Null_and_Void_0 @LimitedRunGames @GringoStarr2029 @TheJDx56 Did it! I used my hot air rework station to weaken the glue and then carefully pried it apart, the tiniest chip in the plastic on the inside was all that happened I also used the knife to score through where the paint was attaching the two sides.

The fuck @LimitedRunGames 1 year delay and $200 for this ths

@Null_and_Void_0 @LimitedRunGames @GringoStarr2029 @TheJDx56 I think I will try, if it's glued a blow drier or heat gun might make it soft enough to pry apart, if I try I will update you

@Null_and_Void_0 @LimitedRunGames @GringoStarr2029 @TheJDx56 I've been searching to see if anyone has had any luck replacing them?

@LimitedRunGames @GringoStarr2029 @TheJDx56 The batteries in my Chex Quest Zorcher from you guys died and there's no way to replace them. Contacted support and all I got was a "wow that's sucks" from support

@ImRachelBradley Congratulations! Thats so close! You must be nervous/excited!

4 weeks until she's due to join us 💕

@F1REAKS Guess which one includes restaurant ratings and which on forces you to also have yelp to read reviews? There is so much more than flashy visuals to a map app.

i use google maps, my best friend uses apple maps. guess which one of us is completely useless in navigating foreign cities

@Clint_Davey1 Every single jump from 2d to 3d was worse in that time period for RTS and city builders. Not a single one benefited from being 3D

The improvement in gameplay between Age of Empires 2 and Age of Empires 3 was not massive. But I have to admit the graphics were a huge step up. AOE2 was 2D. AOE3 was 3D. Makes a difference.

@Apogee_Ent Moto Racer

What’s the first game you ever installed on a PC?

@TafferKing451 Wait, we got a new class for diablo 2? How did i miss that?

A new expansion pack for Age of Empires 2 a week after we got a new class for Diablo 2. WHAT YEAR IS IT

@forallcurious Now do birds

🚨: This is how many satellites are orbiting Earth right now ITS ABSOLUTELY FRIGHTENING 🤯

@heaven_piercing The answer is “we have all already murdered him” Our sins nailed him to the cross.

“ICE would have murdered Jesus” So would you. So would I. So would everyone reading this. That’s the point. Jesus Christ suffered an unjust death at the hands of those He came to same so as to save them from themselves by absolving them of their sins.

@HarrisonGarlic1 This is my biggest fear about suburban living. I want to be able to expose my kids to reality like this.

When I kill a deer, my children help me butcher it. I want them to understand what it takes to have the peace and enjoyment of family dinner. Many want the meal but few want the work. It is important that my children have a realism about such things.

@ThatEricAlper @SandyofCthulhu I want this to be true

@dom_lucre Because no one is going back to the moon! If I drive past a McDonald's did I go back to that McDonald's?

🔥🚨BREAKING: Scientists have been disappointed with Americans after it was revealed that 4 astronauts are going back to the moon for the first time in 54 years on Friday and nobody is speaking about it which has led to astronomers and scientists into fearing that Americans no longer care about space or our evolution.

@Felix1312953 @theficouple Came to post this exact thing. Im buying now in the Denver area. They must be in a mansion and unwilling to downgrade. Or it’s all made up nonsense.

... how? Just the home equity itself would allow them to purchase an average home in Denver outright. So if they own a house with no mortgage, and have over half a million either liquid or invested, they absolutely can quit their high stress jobs. They'd need other jobs, obviously, but they aren't stuck in their current job. At all.

Spoke to a married couple in their 40's from Denver,CO: They have: - $520,000: Home equity - $485,000: 401k's/IRAs - $108,000: Brokerage - $18,500: Cash On paper they’re rich & yet they can’t afford to quit high stress jobs. ...Millions of people are in this silent trap.

@LostHistory9 Fan edits have made some really good movies.

Every once in a while, Mixer will post something like this.....and I know he's just poking the bear. The Hobbit films, much like the LotR films, were incredibly poor adaptations. Not to the extent of Rings of Power, but certainly quite poor.
