So apparently, if you keep asking for a person or agent on the Amazon Support chat, it just shuts down your ability to respond and forces you into pre-determined options. Great company. Thanks. Wonderful. Also calling Amazon support? Lol. LMAO. Good luck finding the number.

My most 'Boomer Take' is that fast food menu signs that stop showing the menu to show you a commercial are a legit step backwards. I want a milkshake, I want to know what flavours you have, why did it change to a chicken sandwich wallpaper while I was reading it???

Was reading up some stuff that happened to one, and man... It's horrible to see people who are popular for whatever-the-reason, be seen either as more than what they are or sub-human, and in some cases, be used as a stepping stone to get what they want and abandon you... I just... I hate this.

I bought a ZoomFloppy and hooked it up to my laptop and one of my existing Commodore floppy drives. Not the most intuitive experience, but I managed to plough through the instructions and finally get it to back up the disks to D64 files that would work with Vice.

Really happy to be able to preserve these titles. Folks, if you have a collection of disks or tapes, do have a look through them to see if there’s anything that might need preserving. Hard to believe, but these sat on my shelf for 20 years before I realised how rare they were.

A lovely huge preservation update today! Thanks to @malcseventyfour.bsky.social, 15 previously unpreserved Commodore 64 educational titles from Grolier/Mindflight have now been recovered, including the long sought-after The Story of Miss Mouse and Rhyme Land. www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/08/grol...

I think one thing that really makes me sad about Tales of Rebirth really fumbling dealing with racism, is it's one of the few pieces of media that actually acknowledges about internalizes prejudices are a thing and that people don't allow those to cloud their view of the world. Yet, it just fumbles.

Digimon Ghost Game often featured a way out of the main conflict, a way of balancing out the dark horror elements. Although there were episodes that didn't end that happily, there were some stories that went to the plot stage and went even further, but were canceled.
