I want to play Arkanoid using it.

I’ve come from many years of Java experience to the world of Node/JS.

You can learn JS without TS, but not TS without JS.

TS is just a tightened up JS really.

True.

I agree but I think fundamentally the smart tv hardware is so cheap to bundle in (and gives them hope of revenue) that it probably doesn’t add to the price.

Just set the default HDMI input to something else and ignore.

I agree. The Wii U was great fun. The second screen was great for off-TV play and for local multiplayer.

Not only was it terribly marketed, but Nintendo had trouble getting the 3DS to sell and put all their energy into saving that. This left the Wii U with a lack of games at launch.

Combine that with EA dropping Nintendo because they refused to adopt Origin as their online platform, and it was doomed from the start, whether the hardware was good or not.

Edit: and the gamepad was more comfortable to hold than the Switch, ironically.

Microsoft were monopoly seeking/abusing pricks in the 80s/90s/00s but I had just about started to accept that maybe they had changed. Accepting open source and open standards, and competing on their merits in the gaming world.

I was wrong. They’re not as powerful as they were 20 years ago but, having seen this email, their tactics seem unchanged.

I’ve thought that for years. Tax the high sugar/fat/alcohol stuff and use 100% of that tax to subsidise fresh fruit and veg.

I had my doubts until Maltz verified it.

It may have changed recently, but my understanding of it is that you are expected to aim to join the Euro but there is no set timescale.

The ECB summary seems to indicate that they would rather a country is in a stable, fit condition before adopting the Euro. (We probably have Greece circa 2008 to thank for that.)

There are a few countries already in the EU who have no plans to adopt the Euro. I’m sure we could do the same.

Did you mean PS2? There’s about a decade between N64 and PS3.

It’s a disgrace that 28% would still vote Tory after everything they’ve done.

After launch. Obviously it’s a rule of thumb though, and not a cast iron date.

TBH I think I first heard it on the retro hour podcast. Thought about it, and yeah it does roughly work out right for me.

I think it might also depend on your age though. Probably someone who is 15 now sees the Wii or even Wii U as retro, whereas I’m an 80s kid.

I like the “20 year rule”. So, in this case, not quite yet. :)

One of my mates joined a Sunday league team just to use the training sessions as fitness. Or at least that’s what he said when he never got a game at weekends…

Nothing wrong with joining a squad but not being picked immediately. If you get good enough, they’ll want you on the team sheet. And In the meantime, exercise and nights out. Enjoy!

Always loved all these hand-drawn maps in the magazines.

I’m sure some of them would even look nice as posters.

I must’ve been about 12 when I got that. It was life-changing. 😂

(Also, YS was great!)
