> Regular controllers are good for people with the default number of arms, legs and fingers.

And then there was the N64 controller...

I don't know why people find it so confusing. I don't remember any kids I knew at the time being confused by it.

It just provides you with two different ways to hold it: one where you're using the D-Pad, and one where you're using the analog stick.

I'm not claiming it was the pinnacle of controller design or anything, but it was fine.

That third hand really gave you and advantage.

Designed by Aliens on Planet Earth. Manufactured in China.

And I thought I was crazy for keeping a crowbar in the office...

(I work at a particle accelerator and we need to protect ourselves for interdimensional breaches)

Do you truky, in your heart of hearts, believe that?

It is obviously a joke, but I bought it after several visitors asked us if we didn't have a crowbar xD

Wouldn't you also want to keep a can of spray paint to draw the Elder Sign? You know, in case it was needed in a hurry.

Come to think of it, does an Elder Sign still work if you spray it onto a wall using a template? I think you need to investigate that the next time there's a breach... you've got plenty of interns right?

I need to ask me Warhammer colleague...

The real mistake is that we are still using simple password authentication instead of challenge-response or public key authentication.

You forgot the best one:

"Coger" in Spain means "to grab", in LATAM it means "to have sex" xD

Similarly, I’ve been told that “te quiero mucho” can mean very different things depending on where you are

But the Moco is only sold in Japan, and in Japanese it means "fluffy", a funny name for a car but not a huge deal.

I still laugh every time I see one though, which is almost every day...

Ares is a seriously underrated emulator. I don't use it much now that I have a MiSTer, but it is by far my favourite emulator on desktop.

But you CAN use them online. Smart card readers are nothing new, and quite cheap.

The PAL SNES just reused the curved design of the original Japanese Super Famicom. I also find it way more appealing than the US version, but I grew up in Europe, so it is the one that I saw back in the day.

FWIW I grew up with the North American design and I still find the JP/PAL design nicer.

I'm the opposite. Grew up in Australia (with a 64, to be fair), love the US design. Our ones can't be stacked, and are missing top labels. A collector's nightmare!

I also noticed the weird rainbow pattern, I am relieved to know my monitor is not broken.

I am Spanish myself and didn't know about this fact until recently. It explains many "old-fashioned" spellings like México, Pedro Ximenez, or Don Quixote (nowadays usually written as Quijote, but you will find the old spelling in other languages).

For those who are curious enough, this article explains the evolution of the Spanish sibilants and why our languages uses J and Z in a very different way from pretty much any other language:

My favorite example: It also explains why "sherry" wine comes from "Jerez" ... Because it used to be Xerez at the time that most European languages learned the name.

Was a bit disappointed that, in the Spanish dub of X-Men, it isn't pronounced "Profesor Javier".
