@[email protected] Wow! Thanks for sharing!

A fairly definitive win for the SNES in our poll on best Nintendo consoles, which probably says a lot about the average age of fediverse folk. As @Thad put it: “I suspect that for most of us the best Nintendo console is the one we had when we were 8-12. For me that’s the SNES.” You and a plurality of others, Thad. When it came to accessories, @noodlemaz says Rumble Pak was a literal game-changer, and shouts out their transparent purple N64 controller too. @tom says the GameCube is where it’s at. Too right, Tom: GameCube Bongos 4 Life.

@[email protected] To be fair, we’re not sure anyone is throwing around such grandiose statements (apart from us in our excitement at polling the fediverse about consoles)!

@[email protected] Yes, we maybe could have limited it to handheld consoles! It’s a shame Mastodon doesn’t allow for you to rank your answers in a poll, though that might not help if you love one for nostalgic reasons, one because it had the best games, one for some other specific feature or function!

@[email protected] So sorry — that was a big copy/paste fail on our part (not the publisher’s).

@[email protected] Whereas where we come from, a cot isn’t a collapsible camp bed, but a place to put a sleeping baby (a crib). Got to love English and all its idiosyncracies!

Yes — the quality of the film is very much irrelevant in this case!

@[email protected] We should absolutely give her her rank! Changing the caption now!

@[email protected] Yes, the course was halted on Jan. 23 and resumed today. Per the article, the Air Force Chief of Staff General David Allvin said: “The historic legacy and decorated valor these airmen embodied during World War II and beyond will continue to guide our newest recruits and all who serve in our ranks." However he also added that the Air Force will faithfully execute orders from the president and that “Disguising and renaming are not compliance, and I’ve made this clear … If there are instances of less-than-full compliance, we will hold those responsible accountable.”

Once again, we’re reminded of the inherent silliness of “greatest of all time” lists. How can this be empirically judged?! Even if it could, voters in this poll think that @RollingStone got it wrong. The magazine selected “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” saying: "More than anything else, ‘Breath of the Wild’ is a vibe, where you can spend your hours just doing whatever it is you want to do. Saving the day can wait. Mastodon chose “Tetris,” with @[email protected] summing it up: “I beat BOTW in my house, by myself and over the course of a few months. It was an amazing game. It took an entire community of fans, players and hackers 40 years to beat Tetris and they’re all still playing it. Tetris is #1 hands down.”
