No, said Aziraphale, it's ineffable.

The Super Nintendo CD-ROM, also known as the Nintendo Playstation.

When your Mom called your Playstation a “Nintendo,” she had no idea how close she was to being right on that one.

In the early 1990s, Nintendo made a deal with Sony (inventors of the CD) to make a Super Nintendo add on with the ability to play CD games, known as the Super Nintendo CD-ROM. Over 200 were made as proof of concept and demonstrated it at several consumer electronics conferences. One video game on the SNES was originally designed to be on a CD for this upcoming add-on: Secret of Mana. However, Nintendo and Sony had a falling out (depending on who you ask, the story of what happened is different) so Sony took the product they designed as Super Nintendo add-on and turned it into its own system, the PlayStation.

Not to be #thatperson but I feel like national news isn’t fully realizing how bad this is. Not to detract from the horror of Paradise and surrounding towns but this is really bad. And Sacramento is worse.

It is that bad, and you are not supposed to mind. You are supposed to accept the new normal. Sometimes American cities will be uninhabitable. Sometimes America will just burn. You will be encouraged to identify with this. It’ll probably be a whole thing, like how New Englanders take pride in driving in snowstorms.

The city of San Francisco currently has the worst air quality of anywhere in the world because of the wildfires. (This level of air quality, incidentally, is bad for people and kills them.) These once-in-a-lifetime wildfires will become more common in our lifetimes.

I think ! it’s okay! to say this isn’t fine!!

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
