I have this memory of me being in a Shop Rite and in one of the aisles was a rack with some Star Fox 64 carts.

Was that ever a thing or is my old age making me senile? >_>

my local grocery store use to rent out games and movies

people kept stealing the games and the movies just stop being profitable once video rental stores opened up

and at the time they where the only place to buy groceries in town so yea they couldnt exactly ban the thiefs from the store (thoe im pretty sure they did ban them from renting things)

Damn, I never thought of that. If you live in a small town in a rural area and you got banned from the only grocery store, you're gonna die lol
