Woah... everyone was saying there was. I hadn't been engaged enough on the site after arriving to realize. Thanks for clearing that up! (I guess misunderstandings are also difficult to catch as a solo team, too)

Unfortunately they don't let you "buy" anymore. It's a yearly fee a la adobe creative cloud and as soon as you stop paying they "de-update" you a year.

That is a highly nasty and unethical thing to do to an unsuspecting user who spends time carefully moderating the discussion and trying to help the site. On the other hand, it's a great way to handle someone who assists spammers or ast

Nintendo has never been about the tech. Not the NES, not when Sega released the Genesis while they pushed SMB3 for their "wimpy" 8-bit system, not when they crushed both Sony ans MS with the underpowered original Wii and not now

It was a nine minute read for me. Medium's estimates are always off and especially so when dealing with list-type posts. Instead of relying on how long some website says something will take to read, it's usually a better idea to s
