No more coffee but plenty of PRIME™ for all!

In Canada we already have Power Corporation (what a name), they’ve owned our Prime Ministers for decades

How many of you were hit with mallets last week?

Rented this a few times from Blockbuster and played it at the demo that was always set up at Costco, it was a really solid system with actual potential. Blockbuster had a program back in the day where for $40 or something like that you could rent a system with 2 controllers and 2 games for 7 days. Did the same with the Sega Saturn with similar feelings, eventually ended up owning a N64 and that was not a disappointment in the end.

The ballistic hard shell cases with foam inserts Blockbuster rented out consoles in were seriously cool I wonder if any exist still

Oh yeah we had those too. I totally forgot about A&E, those tapes were around for sure. And a lot of stuff from the National Film Board, I think the schools in Canada got that stuff for free or something.

In class it was always

• Shrek
• Shrek 2
• Remember the Titans
• Jurassic Park
• Any Rando Jim Carrey Movie

Although in grade 9 law class we got to watch Heat, Dirty Harry and My Cousin Vinny, that teacher was cool

Hehe ‘loads’

Exactly this. It was a very boring job, pretty much just filling out a form for people who couldn’t /didn’t want to do it themselves online… not sure what about it was worth sharing to begin with, would have been terrible content lol

Someone at a no-paper, no-phones call centre I worked at had their buddy film them taking a call then they posted it to YouTube, both of them got fired when someone in management apparently saw it online.

I always liked the translucent purple N64 and the controller that came with it. If they made a GameCube that way it would probably be my favourite.

Ironically? I noticed at some point in the last few weeks McDonalds switched from WB MultiVersus happy meal toys to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe…which came out in 2017 and somehow is still relevant enough to get happy meal toys

I had no idea lemmy.today was that sparsely used. I appreciate their hands-off approach and the reliability is pretty solid. Just wanted to say I like what they’re doing here.

When I saw the commercial for this movie all I could think of was that King of the Hill episode where Peggy tries selling houses by staging cheesy family plays about the house

There’s been a Toronto area bike store chain called The Cyclepath for forever, pretty good name

The B is for Bargain!

I think I once saw a documentary about this, where the introduction featured an average Toyota Corolla driver on their way to work… moving slower than a geriatric using a walker.
