My teenage nephew and I share a Gundam obsession. We also both love video games, just different kinds. He was very excited when one shooter or another had a Gundam crossover via skins. He was just waffling a bit since they cost real money. He eventually let slip that they were like $20-25 each. “But you can get them all for like $60, so it’s a better deal than just getting two.”

I was stunned. Dude, you can buy a whole game with that. Multiple games. “Yeahhhh…” You can get a couple HG model kits. Or an MG. “True… but they’re so cool!”

I don’t think he bought the skins. Although a few months later he was angrily reciting the general online discourse regarding Switch 2 game pricing despite not having any Nintendo hardware at all (which is par for the course). And not even two weeks later he’s over the moon about Doom Eternal… which he bought new… at $70… and finished in a week or so. “I can’t wait for the DLC!”

Sigh.

Now your house smells like candles and that.

I knew a nice Canadian that had a crush on me once. I still messed it up.

Definitely did not have one of those. Thanks for the info!

Also my first console, though I don’t remember a TTS module. The only thing we used the keyboard for was word scramble I think. I was very young at the time lol.

Still have no clue how my parents got one, or why. My guess is off the back of a truck.

Just one more merger, bro…

Yo, Mike… they’re fuckin hoagies.

You can’t spell platypos without a typo.

“Holy sheet!”

A friend of mine reached out to a couple of Nebula creators to ask them if it was more beneficial financially for people to watch their stuff on Nebula or YT. Neither had a cut and dried answer, saying that YT views are important for long term discoverability that was hard to quantify vs getting a direct cut of the Nebula money/YT ads. So I’ll sometimes watch shorter-form videos on YT and save the deep dives/binging for Nebula.

Edit because I forgot the point I was responding to: Grady linking to YT might be a case of needing that engagement either short or long term.
