Plenty of places don’t have HOAs, like my neighborhood. We just bitch at each other. If things got really bad you could just call the city.

I fucking wish the other party would go this rabid against billionaires.

I could make some guesses, but I’m not sure what you meant by this. What did you mean?

The 3DS was simply Nintendo’s best era, and I don’t think we’ll see anything like that again given the current direction of their latest consoles…

Curious if others agree. I would’ve thought that it would be the SNES era, but that’s probably betraying my age more than anything.

Great article! On par with gaming publications, and actually probably better than most Nintendo Power articles I remember from back in the day. Great job!!
