Similar, I think I paid £65 for Street Fighter Ii: Champion Edition on MegaDrive. That’s US$84 - and that was in 1992.
I must have been mad. Although, I probably played that game more than any other, at least until some of the huge open world games of recent decades.
It would be subjectively new to them, yes. But objectively it’s still an old game. That doesn’t mean it’s bad, irrelevant or whatever, it’s just old. And that’s fine.
Old doesn’t mean irrelevant though.
I absolutely would consider a book from the 19th century an old book, just as I’d consider the movies you mentioned as old movies. But a great movie is a great movie regardless of age.
Fair point, and yeah, I’m in the UK.
Counterpoint. I once found about £80, handed it in to the police, got a receipt, a few weeks later got a call, no-one had claimed it, was allowed to come and claim it.
Re fall/autumn - is there a US equivalent for the work autumnal? Falllike doesn’t seem quite right, nor fallish, nor fallumnal.
Is that the one about the monkey in the tree? I remember absolutely cracking up at that.
Off the top of my head without too much thought…
Fight the Power - Public Enemy
Know Your Enemy - RATM
Nazi Punks Fuck Off - Dead Kennedys
Strange Fruit - Nina Simone
Making Flippy Floppy - Talking Heads (just for the line, “Our President’s crazy, did you hear what he said?”)
Dark and Long (Dark Train) - Underworld (no political message, but it’s long, and I love it and pretty sure he’d hate it)

Doesn’t make it any less annoying though! 😁
One reason to avoid using words is that in a global economy, they may want to sell the same product in multiple countries, so you potentially run into translation issues/costs and confusion over whether a product is the same or not between two different places. Using just letters and numbers eliminates that.
Of course, that’s all for their own convenience, not for the convenience of the end customer.
Well, my point was really that, nowadays, a launch by anyone would likely result in other launches, leading to all out war and global catastrophe. I wasn’t getting into the literal size of bomb impact areas vs global surface area.
We would have nuclear war every year.
I suspect we’d only have it once.
That’s a really interesting question. I have no idea, but I’d be interested to read what someone with relevant knowledge had to say about it.
Ah, interesting - that could definitely be an option, thanks 👍
Ah, thanks, that looks a useful site.
Sadly, this is my work as well as personal PC, and Photoshop and Premiere are more or less essential for me. I know there’s Photopea, which can handle PSD files, so that would probably do to replace PS, but not sure about Prem.
Happy to try something else, but it’s finding the time to learn everything again that’s my real issue.
Still though, that’s a great resource, so thanks 👍
Thanks, good advice. Will do a bit of research myself first I think.
Sadly no spare PC to try it on at the moment. I do have a laptop running Plex, but don’t really want to mess with that right now.
Maybe I can buy a cheap one to have a play around with first.
Cheers, much appreciated 👍
It’s compatible, but I don’t want to go to W11. Plus, I’ve been thinking for a while that I should check out Linux, but just never have the time.
Ugh. I’m going to have to seriously look at Linux, aren’t I?
Absolutely no idea where to start with that, nor whether any of the software I need for work (or indeed anything else) is compatible, not how I’m going to find the time to learn all this.
Bleugh 😔
The other thing about this price point is that it’s a headline grabber - and then once people find out more, they will spot that if you buy a Switch with MK preinstalled, the game costs half that.
So suddenly it feels like, “oh hey, that’s a great deal, and I was obviously going to buy a Switch 2 anyway” - and Nintendo get the sales and the decreased cost of manufacturing the physical game.
