| 51455 | McDonald's | <p>This popped up in my Facebook feed last night. One of the local McDonald's from where I grew up as a kid is getting demolished. It was one of the last McDonald's that had yet to convert to the new grey building design. Unfortunately that is what it is being rebuilt as.</p><p>I cannot tell you how many times I sat at those exact seats that you see by the windows. It is tragic to see this go.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:74.41%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:2048/1536;" src="/images/uploads/user-3358/fdd34fcb86c282990f61.jpg" width="2048" height="1536"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:72.83%;"><img style="aspect-ratio:2048/1536;" src="/images/uploads/user-3358/8d28472f20ff2bd6dafe.jpg" width="2048" height="1536"></figure> | Rick Ace Rhodes | Jul 06, 2026 |  |

That, and all the additional clutter that it would add to shelves. Well I've been overdue in buying classic game consoles, I just need the funds to buy them from the steep prices on eBay.</p> | Benjanime | Jul 06, 2026 | |
| 51453 | Old School Saturday Mornings | <p>I know it sounds strange, but I think even commercial breaks could make Saturday morning TV feel special.</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/u7ytjlB0gi4?si=LrMFFGtCujyJo0lZ">https://youtu.be/u7ytjlB0gi4?si=LrMFFGtCujyJo0lZ</a></p> | Mr Magic | Jul 06, 2026 | |
| 51452 | Sony is killing physical video games | <p>Thankfully, Sony is not the only game in town. There's still time for gamers to vote with their money for physical media still on offer. RAR has a point, the gaming landscape is changing so fast that Sony may find itself kicked to the curb.</p><p> </p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtube.com/shorts/eEkBGG2uMko?si=OyETu8NUMonJVzXr"><div style="max-width: 56vh;"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 177.7778%;"><iframe src="//if-cdn.com/3KvTwjHf" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="accelerometer *; clipboard-write *; encrypted-media *; gyroscope *; picture-in-picture *; web-share *;"></iframe></div></div></div></figure> | eddstarr | Jul 06, 2026 | |
| 51451 | Sony is killing physical video games | <p>We knew for years this was coming. To be honest, I don't really care anymore. Five years ago I would have been up in arms over this, but I am at the point in my life where I feel videos game are a dying industry that no longer appeals to me. Plus, does anyone really need new video games at this point?</p><p> </p><p>There is forty plus years of old video games that have been released that I can continue exploring and finding things I have never played before.

| 51448 | America turns 250 | <p>I feel blessed to have witnessed the build-up to America's 200th Birthday for 1976.

| 51447 | America turns 250 | <p>Went on a trip to North Carolina and was held up in traffic over some fireworks shows here and there. I miss going on little hilltops to join groups of people setting them off.</p> | Benjanime | Jul 05, 2026 | |
