I think it's a combination of nostalgia and the fact that SML1 had levels, enemies and music that were super unique compared to other Mario games before or after.
SML2 is a better game on the technical side of things but nothing in it blew me away or was memorable enough for me to recall with super clarity like I do with 1.
I'll always prefer SML 1.
But I do fondly remember this.
I have a Samsung TV and it's kind of irritating that it does this same thing. Any option you leave selected for a few seconds will start playing a sample
It's frustrating to have to go hunt for a safe place to put my cursor so my TV doesn't start playing something I don't want it to.
18 billion yearly profit last I checked.
Not enough.
Never enough.
And on the flip side of things, I live in Florida and biking as a primary method of transportation in the summer is just insane.
I do bike for exercise in the summer and 15 minutes will leave me drenched in sweat needing a shower.
The rural population isn't the issue, it's suburbia which is where the majority of the US population lives.
It's not dense enough for public transportation to be viable and it's zoned in a way that makes pedestrian traffic a non starter.
Suburbia causes a lot of problems. I understand why it exists - owning a house with a yard is nice. I personally wouldn't want to give that up to live in an urban environment if I didn't have to
President has wide latitude in matters like this. Air strikes in this context are legal for him. He can even deploy troops as long as their deployment isn't longer then 60 days.
Because they can be slotted in to work existing machinery without retooling the entire plant.
Working long solo sessions of people leaving me the fuck alone tends to be correlated with me getting projects done.
I'm one of those older Trekkies who will complain about the aesthetic choices of the DSC sets.
My view is that there is a certain style with sci-fi shows of this nature that are part of their identity.
Large swings in design choices are very distracting to the point of being off putting to me unless there is good reason for it.
One thing I absolutely applaud Disney for is how they've managed to modernize but still keep the 70s aesthetics in their Star Wars shows. And I wish Trek had followed the same path.
Nope.
