The ports were all on the same bus! You can send signals meant for any of the three of them into any of the three of them and it’ll work.
Well, the memory card slots and Serial Ports 1 and 2 anyway. The Game Boy Player connects via the parallel port.
The Famicom had a modem with online shopping and horse race gambling. It also had a floppy disk module with a ram adapter that also added an extra audio channel. Zelda 1 and 2 debuted on this. It also had 3D goggles, the predecessor to the Virtual Boy. It also had an entire keyboard that plugged in, and a cartridge packed with sprites, tiles, sound effects, and example code you could hack up and save to another add-on: a cassette tape recorder that saved your game projects encoded in audio.
The Super Famicom had a radio receiver that clicked onto the bottom that downloaded new games from space.
The Game Boy had an entire cartridge pin for audio passthrough so future tech built into cartridges could preprocess sound and send it straight to output.
The N64 also had a floppy-disk loading module.
The GameCube had a module that plays DMG, GBC, and GBA games (but more importantly turns the GameCube into an actual cube).
I can never remember the difference between etymology and entomology and I can’t put into words how much that bugs me.
Just divide at a cellular level, nature has already solved this problem! Upstart life forms these days thinking they can reinvent the wheel.
3PS is amazing.
Voat (something I used before I realized it was just a racism thing (I know, I know, it’s very obvious in retrospect)) would point you at an existing post if you posted the same link.
The execution was bad, and I have some issues with the concept, but it did make me think maybe there is a solution to that particular problem.
On the contrary, one of my favorite meme mutations is the subversion of the intent of the original media or meme itself. Like the “can you please call HR”, “hello human resources” one. Or bonehurtingjuice on the whole.
Not a Lenovo icon. They bought ThinkPad, nippleclit and all, from IBM.
Nah. Died when Lenovo bought it from IBM. Died again when IBM stopped offering support for them.
Shoot, I recognize this but can’t place it. Is it Bubblegum Crisis? Or Ghost in the Shell? Or… Hm.
Haha, I figured out how to search properly. It is Ghost in the Shell. Production value is way too high for BC anyway.
look
it’s rude to crack other people’s eggs
I’m trying to be cis male over here
He wasn’t the type to swing the bat
Oh. I thought the alien was the third wheel.
It’s not that they were breaking the rules, it’s that they were preying on vulnerable people.
If you want to talk about Jesus’ relationship with rules, look at the people he chose to spend time with – outcasts and social undesirables. Rulebreakers. Vulnerable people, people who didn’t have the luxury of pondering where stealing bread lies morally when you’re starving.
And look at his response to the question about which commandment was the most important: “If you thought it was about the rules, you missed the point”.
In the new testament, Jesus went and braided a whip out of leather – a process which takes several hours, meaning this was cold rage and not hot impulse – and proceeded to thrash the shit out of a bunch of people profiteering off of religion.
My next TV purchase will be based on which models have Display Port.
…And which don’t have smart features, but that’s a given.

That’s kinda rude. Presumably they stole the profile picture from some uninvolved person.
