8 hours agoShort version: there’s an $80 bread maker with 5 features, a $120 bread maker with 12 features, and a $475 bread maker with 14 features.
The $475 bread maker only exists to make the $120 version look like a bargain.

2·2 days agoSuper Monkey Ball is a fun suggestion! Plus it’s got an interesting GBA version with an untextured 3D engine for rendering courses that I found pretty impressive.

I’m going to stay retro because I’m on a retro kick right now. I’m also a big fan of chunky old-school graphics, so most of these are available in some form or another on GB, GBC, GBA, GG, or my personal favorite, NGPC.
I stuck with mostly mindless action or traversal, leaving off things with complicated puzzle solving or exploration and what to do/where to go challenge, hence things like Sonic and Mario yes but Metroid and Zelda no. That said, there’s plenty more if you’re up for some light exploration thinking. Shantae for GBC is a delightful example.
Puzzle/Tetris-like:
- Puyo Puyo/Puyo Pop/Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
- Magical Drop (I played this so much my brain would zen out and I’d have crushed all of my friends in a row without breaking a sweat)
- Dr. Mario
- Puzzle Bobble/Bust A Move
Mindless Action/Adventure:
- Metal Slug series
- Contra series
- Gunstar Heroes (IYKYK - if you haven’t played this before but you like Contra-type games, play the Genesis version, be blown away, then try the GG version and be impressed as hell with that too)
- Streets of Rage series (The GG ports are pretty incredible for the platform)
- Smash TV (SNES or Arcade version probably though, since retro handhelds never had the controls for it)
- T2: The Arcade Game is on Game Gear and it’s an impressive port to dink around with.
- Like, the entire shmup genre, but if you want retro portable, there are some Gradius and R-Type ports, GG Aleste/Power Strike 2 on GG, and probably a ton more on GBA.
Pure Platformer:
- Any early Mario mainline game
- Any Sonic mainline game
- Lion King or Aladdin, but these are so difficult you might want to save scum them just to brainlessly get past the brutal challenge
Sports:
- NBA Jam (I loved my dinky little GG version)
Other:
- Ms. Pac-Man and other retro arcade games/collections
- More Pinball! I don’t know any actual “normal” pinball games for retro systems that were all that great, but Sonic Spinball is awesome, plus there’s Kirby Pinball, Metroid Prime Pinball (DS), and even Pinball of the Dead.

I asked Microsoft Copilot for names.
- Windows Anywhere
- WinConnect
- Windows Hub
- WinAccess
- Windows Portal
- WinLink
- Windows Bridge
- WinRemote
- Windows Gateway
- WinFlex
Your post history makes you look like a mediocre person who wishes they were a Russian bot.

I would assume step 1 is to call out Cloudflare for abetting criminal activity and if they refuse to stop serving Xitter in Brazil, then they too are crassly flouting Brazilian national law and should be banned from the country as well. It would be a brutal showdown, but one would hope that losing ALL OF BRAZIL might hurt the margins enough to make them reconsider.
I appreciate that you’re signal boosting “weird” but I think this is full-on “shitty”.
I mean, what they’ve produced will still exist and there are several generations past the 85s, but yeah they probably won’t support them or anything.
I guess this is like #7 or so on the “Jobs that cause ejaculation” list?
The Jabra Active models have all been great for running, but they officially discontinued the entire consumer audio line to focus on hearing aids three seconds before Apple announced AirPods are now hearing aids so…
The point is not whether there are more features. The point is to give you an incentive to go yearly, and in this case it’s a huge “discount” even though it’s in no way worth the monthly cost. The monthly plan isn’t meant to sell you the monthly plan. It’s meant to make the yearly plan look good.
