Can confirm, I had a very Southern manager at a job keep referring to me as Bubba and he didn't understand why I didn't like that. Of course, with this news that takes on a way weirder connotation lol

This or some spinoff of The Good Place could work with this concept pretty well. I just don't want to give the marketing ghouls any more notions of how to ruin Hellraiser.

Your idea for a new movie is both terrible and yet probably still better than the worst films in the series.

It's like riding a bike, you'll be on it in no time!

Been there and it sucks, I have also been stuck in a mortgage that had restrictions on refinancing and it also sucked. Anyone thinking they wouldn't get gouged just as hard after giving up their fixed rate and refi ability are delusional or in on the grift.

Not that I disagree with the message, but this is clearly a hate that goes hard and not a shirt.

WTF is with this articles shit talking of fixed rate rate mortgages that let you refinance without penalty? That is literally the only half-way consumer friendly thing we even have in our current scheme. They talk about how in the early 80s (one of the worst times ever to get a mortgage) they had a way shittier mortgage and how "happy" they were with it. That's bullshit and their reasoning doesn't pass muster. I suspect this was written by some finance ghoul trying to astroturf getting people onto more awful systems.

Yeah, and it was more like $60 at the beginning of the year before all the tariff bullshit. So, do keep in mind that the build quality isn't going to be incredible, but my daughter has been using hers for months and with no issues other than having to learn how to send texts T9-style and the GPS navigation is a little annoying to use.

I bought her a Nokia 2780 Flip.

My daughter switched to a Nokia flip phone and has been enjoying it. So even some gen z are over the bullshit.

The Solid Snake approach

This is also why I have never considered the Switch a portable system. It was a hybrid that was never quite a "real" console or a handheld, and thus made compromises on both ends. I personally never used the Switch undocked, I'd have rather they sold a fixed model with no screen or joycons that just plugged in.

The real reason that Game Gear was so power hungry is that it was just a Sega Master System crammed into a handheld. This is why it felt wildly better and more advanced then the Game Boy. Sega did the same thing years later with the Sega Nomad aka a Genesis crammed into a handheld.
