You're not funny.

Well we could start with a name...

Yup I have 1400 down / 40 up with my Fixed 5G home connection. It's so disproportionate but still way faster than cable with no arbitrary data cap.

Uploading wouldn't cause a noticeable slowdown for most internet uses, unless OP was also trying to upload something as well. Most ISPs offer a fraction of the upload speed as download and your average person still doesn't even notice a slowdown.

And Arizona Cardinals, named after the state, of course.

TIL that the Washington football team is from Washington D.C., not Washington State.

I also recently learned that the Pentagon also isn't located in Washington state. This shit needs a disambiguation page for real life.

Never owned a Wii but I'm not surprised. As a GameCube owner at the time, I refused to buy one on principle alone. I was beyond pissed that all Nintendo did was overclock a GameCube, throw it in a smaller form factor case, slap a new controller on it, and proceed to break sales records.

I wish they would have instead released motion controls for the GameCube if they didn't feel like designing new hardware, but somehow it worked out for them, despite being the laziest console design ever with the second worst name ever (behind "Wii U"). The motion controls were the only thing it had going for it. (I'll at least give Nintendo credit for inspiring the concept of motion controls in the living room that eventually lead to affordable VR, if nothing else.)

Lost trust in Nintendo for many years after that. Switched to XBOX 360 and got almost a decade of enjoyment out of that console. But then Microsoft went and ruined a good thing too, somehow managing to fuck everything up, despite buying some big names and now owning some of the most legendary brands in gaming history. They went from making my favorite console of all time, to releasing generic black rectangles with names like XBOX Series One SXT 4x4 3.8L Turbo. It's like they are intentionally sabotaging their brand so they can go back to focusing on software.

Anyway shit like this is why I exclusively play PC games now. I mean the Switch was cool for the first few years but then they got all butthurt and can't handle the fact that other people can make a Pokémon game better than them and make their games run better on PC than on their own hardware... So much for second chances—fool me twice.

I'm talking about Super Mario 3D All Stars. There is a very noticeable input lag in Super Mario 64. You can see it yourself by quickly tapping the jump button and seeing how long it takes Mario to actually jump. Sunshine targets 30 FPS and often dips into the 20s, despite running at a locked 30 on the GameCube and even being capable of 60 FPS with a mod.

Combine that with the lack of any sort of enhancements or modernizations to the original games and it's clear that it's just a really bad collection of ports, plain and simple.

Or at least "officially".

The very first USB stick I bought was 32MB and I thought that was a lot cause it held way more than a floppy.

It's a screenshot from Inglourious Basterds [sic] with the Nintendo logo Photoshopped in.

You shouldn't claim that something is AI, if you can't even tell a AI apart from a real image. Work on your identification skills.

They didn't just "upscale" the sprites, they completely remade the games in the Super Mario World engine.

3D All Stars was the laziest compilation ever. All they did was toss the ROMs and half-developed emulators onto the cartridge and called it a day. The games run worse and have more input lag than they did on their original consoles.
