Meanwhile, you can probably already buy a "retro console" with all those games plus others for other systems on Amazon for half the price. The price point is targeted at the people who order things from SkyMall.

If people want to, they can still download what they bought. They just can't buy new stuff. So, if they want to, they can download it all and back it up for posterity if they want to. They have time.

 

Hi! I'm having a hard time finding info about ways to make the lower panel on my desktop do what I want. It seems it only allows me to pin application shortcuts to it. I'd like to add other things. I'm guessing this lower panel is a Gnome tweak, so I suppose I'd like to tweak the tweak. If anyone knows where this mysteriously wonderful lower panel comes from I can probably find docs on it. It has its own settings menu and I've explored those options in the GUI.

It sounds like they were smart about it. They were like, "Wow, we can pay less rent on office space" and rolled with it. Then they were like, "Now we can look outside the area for employees that might be better than the ones in the area when we're hiring." It makes sense for a small company to ask and then take advantage of the pros.

For me it's a three-way tie: Galaga, Millipede, and Pac-Man World 2. I love other genres, such as RPG, FPS, and ARPG. For me, games in those genres get outdone constantly because of better graphics and special effects. I might lean towards The Bard's Tale, simply because the story is really fun, but I think there are modern games that could be better.

I love Bubble Bobble!

I canceled my Netflix. I'm sure more people will cancel Netflix if they don't have more stuff to watch. That's actually why I canceled. I couldn't find anything new I wanted to watch. Now that every company has its own streaming service Netflix has lost a lot of content and is struggling to replace it. My cancellation had nothing to do with password sharing. I live alone, no kids, no people to share passwords with. I won't replace it with a subscription to something else, either. I don't see the value in having to subscribe to something just to watch one or two things that interest me.
