Honestly, a lot of first party GameCube games have aged incredibly well. Mario Party, Wind Waker, Warioware, Smash, Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion etc. all still look fantastic today, resolution aside.

You can AfterPay your fucking petrol at some locations now. It's actually such a sickening demonstration of where we are as a world right now. The guy inside at the till even happily espoused that he "uses it all the time." Like dude, that isn't a positive thing.

Came here for the Ashens reference and was not disappointed.

I'm never sure when it comes to America, but I'd love to move there. Like us Aussies with dropbears and Americans, I was totally convinced by your post haha.

I've always wanted to visit a Bucky's! We've got nothing like it here, so it'd be a genuine experience.

For me it's usually only after they've died. They have this bitter, extremely unpleasant acidic smell to them.

ngl the fact you can buy alcohol and ammunition at the gas station over there is making me jealous af. We legally have to have entire separate stores for those things, no exaggeration.

It's wild how different the refueling process is between our countries. Paying at the pump was trialed here about 10 years ago, but next to nobody used it. We just rock up to the servo, pump our fuel, then walk inside to pay. I can't see it changing anytime soon. Some rural, more crime-ridden areas require pre-pay, as well as a few locations in urban areas between 11pm and 5am, but even then, you still walk inside or up to a window on the actual building to pay.

"You're not sad. Now consume, peasants. Consume and never stop. You don't WANT to be sad, do you?"

No shit, I saw fucking Afterpay available for petrol at the pump the other week. I'm Australian, so I'm unsure if this 'buy now, pay later' shit is available for gas over in the States, but it was certainly a shock to see here.

I've always been able to smell them. I can't believe there are people out there who can't. My world has been rocked.

Magnesium threonate cured my insomnia, it's fucking wild how well it works. I'd tried everything until I discovered it, from melatonin, to antihistamine sleeping pills, all the way to downing 350ml of whiskey every night just to force sleep.

Magnesium works better than every single thing I've tried (but you HAVE to let yourself fall asleep when you feel it starting to work.)

I hate how long it took me to realize this was an Onion article.
