Maybe most owners start dipping into their own product and can't manage the business as well.
Also, they could maybe harbor a ton of runaways or have people wanting payment under the table.
I just imagine that the business can get shady really quickly and it may not be easy to balance what you want to let in just cause they have a dollar.

The dreamcast is a nice controller for sure, but a step back from the Saturn's 3d controller with two less buttons.
The vmu was wonderful.

The dreamcast and genesis are leading. That was pretty much expected. The near even split is nice.
They both have some great and original games on them. The genesis has the much better controller, only to be superceded by the superior Saturn controller.
Who knows what dreamcast games would have looked like if the system lasted longer. Genesis games on the other hand came out for a long time and some of those later ones used the system quite well!
I think what-if for the Saturn as well cause the games that came out in 98 were looking real good!

Well, if you mean prepping before hand, then drink lots of water.
If you mean afterwards, consume some meat and drink milk with it. My go to would be a can of tuna and milk in the morning. Tuna is so freaking packed with nutrients and all condensed, so it's easier to get down.
If you've got bacon, then make the bacon.

I read a real light hearted "hallmark" mystery to boost my spirits and it worked: The Lemon Meringue Pie Murder.
I moved onto Ten Times Black to expand my mind a little bit and it was an alright collection; it was very short.
I'm now reading Star Wars Empire Strikes Back to my enjoyment. The first book was alright, whereas this one is much more fun. I didn't realize I have the book placed between the two, so I may read that later this year.

My work has a clause thanks to the union, where you get up to like two weeks pay if you're leaving the job cause it's "unbearable". I haven't seen it used, but I seem to be one of the few who knows about it. After reading it a few times, you just submit a letter saying why you are quitting, and they'll either consider a change to make things better or give you up to two weeks pay before you finally leave.

Or your favorite?








What's your favorite or what do you consider the best?

I often hear people say Sega and mean the Genesis, sometimes being as ignorant to think that was their only console.
Sometimes I meet people who have played the Dreamcast and all of them loved it. Its library is stellar, the visuals have held up mostly and is gaining some popularity online again.

I grew up enjoying the Genesis and I kind of remember the Dreamcast during its availability. The demo for Sonic Adventure is clear in my mind though; that whale chasing you was something else. The Saturn was obscure, if even heard of, probably even mocked.
Now a days, I love the Saturn! The fifth generation is great in the blending of arcade games to home console games.

Now my curiousity has taken me to wonder what you guys think of Sega and its splendor of hardware.
I know I left out some things. The hardest part was how to consider the Sega CD since you could play Genesis titles upon that. That can be up to the voter to decide. The Nomad is it portable, and maybe that blows your mind or something, so I figured it deserved its own category.

PS2 has the best library which is what really matters in the end

Gamecube had a good amount of great titles but an awful controller imo

Xbox actually had the best performance and had some cool utilities for the time, but also had the worst library out of the three

The black/white button was weird for the xbox as well.

My vote may have been the same but you forgot dreamcast. That console's library is about 90% gold...well, pretty good at least.

I bounce all around. Sega Rally is an easy game to pop in for ten to fifteen minutes, trying to set a record. Cart racers like Mario, crash and sonic all are fun for a smooth race with no bumps and tons of drifting.
I guess realistic racers I play the least, but I do retro game and there's a bit less for my pre-00 consoles. I can enjoy some Sega gt and gran turismo a bit.
Would Burnout Paradise be considered arcade? That is one of my all time favorites.

Extreme_light posted...
It's funny to me that people think almost 250 years of slavery would be resolved in nearly half the time since its ending. It doesn't help that people have quite literally oppressed that population in the decades since, leaving limited room for actual growth. Even as recently as the 70s there was housing discrimination and white flight opposing the mere idea of having a non-white neighbor. Like this shit is well within out parents generation
Nowadays the people are definitely less racist than their grandparents but the systems and programs from the age of slavery still remain, as well as the psychological effects on us as a nation.

Nailed it. Even some things in the 90s leading to 9/11 made people uncomfortable outside of their race.
People almost forget that people are still living with an old mindset and are still trying to push that mindset.
It trips me out that holocaust in Germany is only like 100 years ago. Feels like some only great, great, great grandparents that are long gone would have gone through. There's still a few people alive from then.

That's a spoiler, but not so much. When the movie came out, it was well known that he was the person who grew up to be a sith lord. So, it's a spoiler I guess watching it in numerical order.

I think you've nailed the story. Confusing, but just about summed up. The jedis restore balance in the name of good, but they're defining the good.
Dooku may have just been a for hire robotic user of the force, mainly aiming for personal gain...which is bad.
