You’re not wrong, but OTOH, it’s pretty funny to see a planet having a building on it equated to the planet being explored, considering Earth was still being explored thousands of years after the first buildings.

Back then Amiga computers were at their peak, it wasn’t uncommon for a whole game to be on a single 1.44 MB floppy. It was also pretty common that booting from the disk was the only way to launch the game.

Ok but that’s kind of on you for not noticing that everything supported Soundblaster.
- Comment on US kids want games subscriptions and virtual currency more than games this Christmas 11 months ago:
In my teen years I spent a large fraction of my disposable income on music. A Spotify subscription is a vastly better value than buying whatever I could scrounge from a used CD store. Back then it was common for me to read about some semi-obscure recording and just have to wonder what it sounded like, because I had no hope of finding it in a store, and a special order was way out of my budget. Now I can listen to damn near anything that’s ever been published for less than I spent as a teenager.
A lot of subscription services suck and are just a way to milk customers, but streaming audio and video are not in that category.
