Crash Team Racing PS1 was IMHO better than Mario Kart N64. The wumpa fruit added a neat dimension, and the ability to select weapons for battle mode was great.

I just wish we'd have neither inflation nor deflation.

Some tech has followed this pattern. For example: entry level Mac laptop in ~2000 was the iBook, priced at $1599 ($3k+ in today's dollars). The current entry level Mac laptop (M4 Air) starts at $999

cheaper in absolute dollars, and way cheaper in relative dollars.

(Macs are just an example since Apple doesn't have a very extensive product list, so there's only one "entry level" laptop to choose from. And yes it's fair to ask if the relative specs have just gotten worse, but I think this is also the opposite

the iBook was iirc criticized as being underpowered, whereas the M4 Air is afaik well regarded.)

Missed opportunity to replace "dozen" with 11 ;)

Once I pulled an HDD out of an old TiVo for a desktop build (Gentoo, I think

this was a while back). I called the machine "voit" because it was an anagram of TiVo

but I particularly liked that it's a homophone for Voight, of Voight-Kampff fame.

Interesting, TIL

thanks!

Books has become e-books.

To some extent

but have you been to a hip bookstore recently? They exist, and are very much alive.

It makes for a mean cappuccino, and is environmentally much, much lower impact.

My comment from another thread: https://startrek.website/comment/16491624

tl;dr: tiny production, would be astonished if they got $6k out of it, and that's not counting time, props, transportation, etc.

It's for 5 performances on the calendar, tickets are $30. It's a 49 person theater

and some of those seats are sure to be friends and family comps. Venue costs between $200-$250 per performance.

It would be a miracle if they got $6k from tickets after venue fees. And that's not counting time, cost for props, transportation, etc.

This is small time artsy theater. Suggesting that it's a cash grab is a bit insulting to those involved.
