I mean, it wouldn't exactly be unprecedented. New cities spring up and old ones die every few generations or so when we go through logistical churn. When the old passenger rail system died off, ghost towns emerged. When the old pre-int

There's a great channel on Youtube called Basement Bros that goes over a lot of the games available at the time for the PC-98 (and other outmoded Japanese home computer platforms) and also touches on how these machines were used day-to

My experience buying laptops in 2023 was that most of what I found was cheap junk. Even when I was buying stuff in the $1800-$2500 price range, it was mostly junk with build quality problems, incomplete support for the hardware (USB-C espec
