Now that we have the events from the KANG actor that transpired... this movie is even bigger in terms of handling what happened to Kang.  Ant Man pretty much handled Kang and he's "stuck" or worse as it stands.  Therefore, Doomsday is happening instead of dealing with Kang

We ended up watching Ant Man: Quantumania again the other day... and it was pretty good.  I definitely liked it much better 2 years later. It's cool and awesome how this movie ties so much together.

What are your thoughts on the progress of the series since then?  Have you revisited this movie lately?  If so... what are your thoughts on this movie?   Post it up!

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: PC RAM Prices Are Now Insa...

Recently a Jeff Bezos talk from a couple of years ago resurfaced, and in it he mentioned that the future of computing is in the cloud. Not surprising since he owns AWS. Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, also recently said similar things. Not surprising either now that they have their GeForce streaming service.

What's happening with the hardware shortage and AI is similar to what's happening in other consumer markets.

There's been a rise in consumer products that have built-in subscription services. Like, for example, cars. Features are now starting to get locked behind subscription models. Appliances are also doing the same thing.

The economy has basically become a system of extracting as much as companies can out of everyone's wallet while we own as little as possible. Not just in the U.S. but pretty much around the world.

The Cars and appliances "paid options" are just insane.  You want heated seats.... well you have the option!  It's there!  You just have to pay a monthly subscription.  Blows my mind.  I'm hoping we do not get to a scenario where that takes over every vehicle.  It seems to be more high end vehicles for now.  Still... If that hits Honda, Toyota, and most Chevy, Fords...etc...etc... I hope there's a rebellion.  Problem is, here in America, we have to drive (for the most part).  As far as appliances like this... I won't buy and hope we don't get boxed in there as well.

I am reading now that iphones increasing in price due to the memory shortage issues..........

I saw that as well.  I'm sure it's going to hit all tablets, phones... all the way down to cars and appliances (eventually).  It is really a frustrating thing

I prefer Elf and Die Hard if it counts. The Santa Clause movies are cute haha.

My wife would say probably Christmas with the Kranks and Four Christmases.

Not sure if it's really a trend or just a preference, but I want to play games with a controller as much as possible. Allows me to be more laid back and comfortable haha. I'm over keyboards and clicking!

Great post @retro junkie --> for linking, the other 2 posts are:
https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/retro-gaming-and-hardware/evercade-neo-geo-arcade-collection-2/
https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/retro-gaming-and-hardware/evercade-neo-geo-arcade-collection-3/

I will respond in these threads as well.

I am drooling a bit... Brikinger Ironclad is a pretty cool game.  I played it on the Neo Geo CD many years ago.  I sold all of them... definitely wanted to keep one for myself, but never did.  One of the deals that imploded (I was scammed) by a trusted person / seller... had about 7-13 copies of Brikinger brand new.  I keep praying that the package will someday appear out of no where like it was lost in customs.  I know the items exist ... just never got them.

Anyway, this is an awesome collection.  This REALLY makes me want to get the Evercade Pocket.  The games on this cart are pretty essential to the Neo Geo collection.  While Magician Lord gets a little boring to me these days... I still consider it essential to a Neo Geo collection.

Nice collection man!    I bet @targetrasp agrees

@retro junkie  --> do you have a good link to the soundtrack online?

You had me at UN Squadron... because of this thread, I ended up rewatching part of the video on this thread AND bumping the thread:
https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/retro-gaming-and-hardware/un-squadron-full-run-on-gamer-difficulty/

Before reading everything... I read City Connection... I immediately thought, I wonder if this is related to Jaleco in some way LOL.  Yup it was.  I used to play City Connection on the NES with my childhood buddy.

This game looks awesome and I want to try it out.  Great post @retro junkie -- Can this be acquired on any of the online platforms?  IE Nintendo Storm, Steam...etc?
