@RupeeClock But trying to say that "everything changed" due to the PSP's multimedia capabilities implies that people actually interacted with those capabilities in a meaningful way that impacted society. As someone who worked at GameStop during the heyday of the PSP (actually bought mine with my employee discount), it was still very much seen as a "gaming only" platform. We had a whole section of UMD movies, and it was INCREDIBLY rare that any of them were actually sold. Watching FF7 Advent Children or Sin City on the PSP was a novelty, not a game changer, and at the time I still had a separate flip phone, mp3 player, and portable DVD player that I would reach for to get my non gaming entertainment before I ever considered the PSP. And I tried to use the web browser on the PSP a few times (mostly to, uh, look at...um, very...EDUCATIONAL materials without my parents finding the history on the computer). It didn't work well, as basically no website thought to account for proper formatting on a horizontal widescreen gaming device.
Bottom line is Linda knows about as much about what she's talking about as she does about education.
Someone in real life was paid real money to make little boob hills for a tiny monkey in a gacha ball to roll over. Guess that fact'll be parked in the back of my brain until the day I die, now.
Cranky Kong shakes his cane at DK, "You kids these days have no prospects! Why, I'm friends with Wayne Johnston. 'The Boulder', as they call him! And you're just out here chasing after Candy Kong with your teenage friend! Bah! You and your adventures just don't matter. Wayne said so!"
"Can you smell what The Boulder is cooking!? Well? CAN YOU!?!? ...because I can't, my nose isn't what it used to be, sonny. Is it baked ziti again!?"
Growing up we were a Dr. Mario household with no Tetris in sight. My mom would spend HOURS dropping pills on germs, and to this day she doesn't even understand how to play Tetris. Nowadays I can admit that, yes, Tetris is better than Dr. Mario, but the good Doc will always have a bigger nostalgic place in my heart than Tetris.
But the best block dropping puzzle game is Wario's Woods, hands down. Always was, always will be.
I had never heard of this game until just now, only watched the first stage of the linked video. Two takeaways:
1. No shame, get out there and live your best life, but this has to be one of the oddest kinks I've seen in a minute. 2. Why the heck does she have two sets of underwear on!?

Re: "The Higher-Ups Did Their Pitch & It All Just Stopped" - Banjo Kazooie Almost Got A TV Show, Here's Why It Didn't
My first thought was "We're missed out on a Banjo show!?! Aww, that would have been awesome!!"
Then I saw the final design they were going to use, and...maybe it's best it was scrapped...
