Wish that was my worst case scenario

Ah, typo sorry, I was thinking nes when I wrote that, but my fingers must have had their own idea.

I didn't even realise this was released for the snes! Fond memories of it on the spectrum. Might need to crank up the old emulator when I get the time.

I've always had mountain bikes. Most recently got a 29er. I don't ride much these days, but feel like a road bike might get me out more.

I only have the one pair of darn tough socks, but they're fantastic, might ask for more from santa this year.

After seeing your comment I went and checked when I got my Logitech X-540 set, not quite as long, 14 years, but also still going strong. Probably far from ideal for an audiophile, but they've been fantastic for my needs and can still blast out great sound when they need to. Been hooked up to whatever media centre setup is on my TV since I got them, in fact they've been the only consistently connected piece of tech in that system in 14 years. Literally everything else has changed multiple times.

I hadn't used FB for quite some time, when I finally tried to log in again, they wanted me to confirm who I was first with real ID.

Not to make a new account, just to access my existing account, of which I know the password, security answers, and could confirm ownership via my registered email account.

And that was the final nail in the coffin.

Fuck. No.

He's a greedy little shit who'd rather run the entire platform into the ground for a buck than do anything useful with his life.

He could've done great things. He could've gone down in history shoulder to shoulder with some of the big guys, instead, he's been a snivelling backstabbing little fungus from day 1.

There's some countries that accept it as payment fairly widely, and a couple that have even properly adopted it iirc.

In general though, no, but it's certainly usable globally and would get around OP's problem if the recipient accepts it. And if OP can be bothered with the hassle of learning about it.

There's also cryptocurrency. Not as invisible as many would have you believe, especially when KYC checks are involved, but there are definitely ways to stay hidden with it, by choosing certain exchanges, transfer methods, and currencies.

Not as straightforward of an answer as OP is probably hoping for though, and it also depends heavily on the recipient of the money.

Same.

Used Liftoff before Boost became available but it was buggy. As soon as boost was released it was a no-brainer, moved straight over. The familiarity from using it with reddit is excellent, has a great feel and everything just works how it should.

That was a beautiful game!

I loved it until I didn't.

Don't remember how far I got, maybe 2/3 of the biomes, then I burned out and got bored. That was a while back, and flattening the land was really glitchy. I'd have an area perfectly flattened and ready to commence building, save it all down, come back next day, and it'd all gone to shit again. I got sick of trying. It became more of a grind just to get back to my last save point than I wanted, and gave up on it.

Did it ever get a full release?

As a kid, I found Gargoyles Quest infuriatingly addictive. I wasn't good enough to do well at it, it annoyed me, but I kept going back for more.

Not sure tbh, I have a couple of SF30 Pros for about 3 years and they've been solid, never had any shedding.

Agreed, SMW was actually the first thing that popped into my head when writing the post subject, SMB1-3 definitely qualify too. I'd put them all on equal footing in this regard.

Yeah fair enough, I wasn't really considering ports to new systems when I asked the question. I was thinking more along the lines of, if they remastered something like SMW with more modern graphics or slightly different controls, it wouldn't hold up to the original masterpiece. But then again flatscreens don't display games designed for crt screens as well as they were initially intended. Maybe remakes would've been a better question!

God dammit.

It's been years. Literally years.

Well played.

8bitdo aren't really for any particular device, but the quality is fantastic.
