No shit the VMU as it was isn’t capable of MP3 capabilities. Not sure how crazy tech advanced you think mp3 players were in the beginning, the simplest mp3 players didn’t even have a screen, they were plug n play with direct drop file library- no software required and ran on a single AA battery. Also not sure why you think the disc reader wasn’t fast enough. Most people were happy to spend 2-3 hours ripping and burning a music disc. I think you’re comparing it to modern day expectations.

The Dreamcast came out in time where people were happy with any tech that was dual purpose and any that was cable of multiple functions received huge attention.

Here’s Sega’s VMU Mp3 player prototype: not saying this specific one would have been the one, just saying it’s capable.

If Dreamcast should have had a niche it should have been using the VMU as a portable MP3 player and giving the Dreamcast the ability to rip music.

Mine was wilderness survival, which I think would still be a thing if cell phones weren’t as advanced as they are with GPS navigation, emergency dialing and location.

I know it still happens and is still a very needed skill specially for those who live out in low populated areas, but I genuinely thought that being lost or stranded in the woods was a super common thing. Like needing to start a fire, finding water and hunting to catch food was definitely an experience I would one day have to go through even though I grew up in a large city and didn’t have a reason to go off the grid often aside from occasional shore fishing.

I feel like the DC could have done better if it had implemented some neat features that were well within its ability during that time.

MP3 players were an actual thing during that time and Sega had shown to be a great way to play music via their Saturn music player app. Imagine a world where they had driven the VMU to be a portable mp3 player with ability to rip/transfer music via connection to console.

(Winner) GBA Console

1. plays 3 generations worth of games. Has some of the all time best games of all time.

2. Customization options are plenty.

3. It’s a system who’s gaming gallery still receives attention via mods, hacks, homebrews and brand new games.

Photoshop Express requires a monthly subscription which is a practice seen as trash by the general population.

I feel like Miyoo should have used the formula that did work, the Miyoo Mini. That system didn’t try to be too much and focused on what people wanted more than following the mainstream/buzz. This system doesnt look clean or comfortable to play with those thumb sticks. They should have dropped the thumb sticks and either A made it a tad smaller or B added hardware to make it more appealing, like Bluetooth audio, USB C OTG, or simply space for a bigger battery.

Online match? If not, that’s no for me as I’d rather emulate

I feel like I get the joke, but I’d like it explained in hopes that it’s better than what I think it is.

We’re talking arcade cabinet

Ummm…what did I just read? Like a poorly written Metal Gear Solid translation with a mega ineffective solution.

Missed opportunity 😑

I would have liked to see him carrying a box or a crate to make you believe more that he was bringing the dog back.

This is a pretty cool use of a C’s drive. Nice thinking

Wtf is this meme actually pointing out if not the obvious?

Bruh didn’t you see above you that the chick can suck off a mean thick smoothie??

I find it hilarious how chill everyone is being about this discovery. Like no one is rushing to debunk it. It’s almost like all the lies and misinformation have desensitized the population down to the point we could have a headline of alien starship landing in Australia and we’d all still go to work and school like any other day. Teacher would still expect you to have your homework and management would still do their morning brief for the days operations. You’d still have the normal traffic going home and you’d still have Trump claiming the election was rigged.

Man this so much!! I switched to a Galaxy (because it was part of the free deal with the phone network) from my Motorola and was baffled it wasn’t a default Android feature. It was easily one of the top 5 handiest features. I know I can’t get a third party app that can still do the that but it’s just not the same knowing how spot on and nifty Motorola did.

I’m sure someone will chime in with more reason but I find this interesting. At first glance the skull looks mega alien. However I bet good paleontologist (good ones at least) compare characteristics between ancient and recent age bones. Then they can sorta make out what the creature prob looked like. The difficulty is coming across a creature that has nothing to compare to or is very alien to the creatures in the region you found it.
