Local co op games never left, as long as you have a Nintendo console or a pc to emulate up to and including Switch.

Well, I saw [email protected] was US only. So I blocked it.

That's pretty much the extent of my involvement in moaning/bothering about politics here.

Making mix tapes and later mix-cds too. Best way of sharing music back then.

Wish I still had all of mine

Yes, RCA is common, even on high end models. Coax aerial connections are also common here in the UK as we have Freeview TV (majority of the UK TV channels are free to receive with any digital aerial and "Freeview" decoder box/TV).

I think RGB SCART is still around here too in a larger way than many realise. my parents got a new TV I set up for them which had an RGB SCART socket. Used it to quickly test out a SNES the other day when visiting and it fucking worked fine lol, looked remarkably good but no match for a proper upscaler obviously

Get ready for horrendous input lag.

I looked at the same thing. I just got a 65" Samsung and walled off its internet access. Sorted.

My Samsung is the best TV I've ever owned. Incredible image. Exceptionally low input lag, tested against my CRT.

Obviously I have it totally locked down as far as web access is concerned. It's for all intents and purposes, a dumb TV now. Works great.

People forgot about the similar pandemic in 1919 or so. Everything repeated, including the anti-vaxxers.

So yes it will happen again and again. As will war, and everything else shit yet inherent in human nature.

Damn I remember when this came out, used to listen to it when playing Perfect Dark on the N64 with my mates

Good memories

I love how every bit of mischief in the first three panels is immediately described as "Hobbes did this"

So technically Calvin wasn't wrong at the end, in his mind anyway
