I had a chuckle at "Mario 64 speedruns" :) I am a terrible player these days with my vision. It's purely the FEEL of it. It was just perfect. I tried mario kart powersliding with some a) old worn original controllers b) Some new copies and it was so much more difficult. My thumb just knew it...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned how critical the controller is - it is almost impossible to get a quality original controller with a fully functional thumbstick, and no copy, or modern version, comes close to the feel. Games just are not the same without it.

You my friend, have investing bang on. Low cost index mutual funds are where 99% of people should be. A 60/40 stock bond mix and just forget about it. I'm like 60% in amazon, but that is because I'm a bit nuts. I'd be wary of ETFs myself...my feeling is (invisible) frictional costs are much...

Hi all, My brother is looking for a laptop and he shares my condition. Relevant things: a) large screen preferred b) He has used matt screen finishes in the past but really liked the clarity of my glossy screen so he's open to trying the latter and simply angle away from glare. c) full size PC...

I wouldn't worry so much. Work is not part of nature, it is to some extent a man made concept. With increased technology, automation, and lower costs, it is entirely feasible that a small proportion of the population can produce enough to cater for the welfare of the rest. It's harder for...

I haven't really kept up with fighting games since the days of Tekken II / Street fighter / Mortal Kombat etc but the gameplay on this looks like a huge step backward if this is representative..

General insurance should cover accidents, in principle - ie general taxation pool or industry insurance scheme paid for eg by a tax on car purchases or road licences. All participants should then be subject to regulatory oversight and control. The (smaller amount of) accidents should be...

Similarly I'm wondering where the positive/negative can be in a "diamond battery".

Thank you :)

Hi all, For reasons I won't bore you with I want a native low resolution monitor. One with as good a display as possible (brightness, contrast), that is 27" and has a glossy screen. I don't care about lag, as I don't game. Ideally with a decent quality stand that can adjust vertically but...
