Michelle Obama would have lost for sure. Remember, she's the one who all the kiddos were blaming for having their school lunches ruined forever. And whenever kids ask why their school lunches suck today, they still get the response, "It was Michelle Obama's fault".

Obama was elected sixteen years ago, so anyone who was in school at all at that time can vote now, so we have nearly 20 years of voters who will hate this person for ruining their lunches when they were children. It would never work out and would have been a really poor choice to run her, since Dems typically require the younger vote.

The issue is on the host's end. They have most likely put the wrong local IP into the server.properties file. Have your friend find the line that is server-ip= and have them put the IP of the VPN's network interface if it has one. That should make it so that the traffic for the minecraft server is through the VPN instead of though their real network.

Slice like... the pizza website?

I mean, the primary benefit of fast food is that you can swing by and get a prepared meal on your lunch break. You can't really do that at a sit down place unless you order in advance. They lost the 'fast' part too, since they don't want to pay the amount of people it takes to run their stores though. Now the only benefit they have going for them is their hours, and they're slipping there for the most part, since most places are still running on reduced hours because COVID gave them the excuse to never bring their old hours back.

I will never forgive Jersey Mike's.

A few years back they stole some much more valuable fast food places from me, and replaced it with Great Value Subway. I was pretty upset, because I could just go to get Subway down the road, since there are like 2 billion Subways, and then Mr. Mike rolls up and is like "Let's make 2 billion more Subways." I don't really want one Subway, so in what world would I ever want two? Give me an A&W or a Long John Silvers or something. Or maybe an A&W/Long John Silvers.

If he was fully committed to the bit, he wouldn't have hidden his SSN from this picture.

There were a few games that worked on the OG gameboy, but were GameBoy color games, the ones that come to mind first are Pokemon Gold and Silver. You could play them on the og gameboy, without color and missing some hardware features, or you could play them on the Gameboy Color as they had intended you do. It was a really nice addition.

I always thought of the GBC as its own generation, since the games were mostly incompatible, just as I thought of the GBA as its own generation for the same reason, but really, it's almost just arbitrary.

There was a bump out, but I don't think it physically stopped you from putting the cartridge into the console, I don't have a GameBoy on me to check right now though. You're right about the missing notch though, but that would only stop you from starting it on the original Gameboy and not the Gameboy Pocket or Super Gameboy. I know for sure I saw the Pokemon Crystal error screen when I tried to play it on the wrong device after being able to play Pokemon Gold on the older hardware.

Maybe I'm the one misremembering?

Oh yeah, I know it.

We could get something like UMDs from the PSP again though. Haha!

It's not really an issue for the games, but an issue with the publishers, I guess, since quite a few 3rd party games have you download basically the whole thing instead of storing it on the cart.

I'm impressed they're sticking with cartridges, since that has been a source of issues with some games. I appreciate it myself. I like them.

This guy is kind of silly for saying that this has been the only time there have been games that fit into the old system, since you could totally put Gameboy Color games into the Gameboy Pocket, they just wouldn't work. They'd scold you and be like "This game can only be played on the GameBoy Color!".

I hope there's no forward compatibility, where games must target the lower spec hardware, since that's the same thing holding the Xbox Series X/S, I hope there's backwards compatibility though, it'd be nice to tuck my old Switch into storage.

I don't think AVGN is a reliable source, it's entertainment. There have been many moments where it's clear (to me) that he's just pretending to be stupid or bad at games just to give the viewer a laugh, so I'd take this one with a grain of salt.
