willing to solder in new switches you can get better quality ones that will outlast the rest of the mouse for ~$5-10.

That might be worth it. I'll have to see if I can find those switches.

I didn't know it was a capacitor. I thought it was bent springs. I managed to fix one once by opening up the switches and bending the springs back, but it went back to double clicking within a month, and the process was not easy. I've got huge hands, and those switches are tiny.

604

That's the one I'm using now. I like the buttons, too. I also find I only really use them in some pretty niche cases, so I can probably do without.

Nope. Gotta wait for a sale. It's hard though. Great game!

Ahh, but with a billion, you would be important enough.

Yes. How long until the Borg are firing turbo lasers? Then, it's definitely over. Unless the Empire has some kind of resistance to assimilation like those insect things from Voyager that were wrecking the Borg.

Do I need a mold or something? Can I just buy a tube of resin and use a cup I don't care about?

Exactly. If people missed playing those games so much, they'd be playing those games. NES games are trivial to emulate.

And this is the ultimate in survivorship bias. Super Mario 3 is often touted as the best game of an entire generation. There are a lot of mediocre NES games.

When I was five or so, my older sister invented the word "cosweb", convinced gullible-little-me it was the worst thing ever, and called me that for (what felt like at the time) months. She eventually just stopped. I didn't figure it out until I was in grade six or something.

Anything remotely popular will end up in a torrent somewhere. Anything harder to find, there's Soulseek.

I'm similar with a good book. Though I've definitely never quite gone 28 hours. At least not for a couple of decades now.

True. I am biased because I've lived in Korea the past twenty years. Internet access is ridiculously fast, cheap, and ubiquitous here.
