Wow—I’ve gotta say, that comes as a surprise. Not doubting that it happened though. Anecdotally, we’ve run all of our Hart shop vacuums through some insane situations. It took one getting completely drenched with water to break it—they’re not easy to disassemble and repair, sadly.

The B&D/DeWalt/Porter Cable vacuums all seem pretty good. I hope it lasts you a long time!

For the price point and compatibility, it’s hard to beat them—especially if you’re okay with buying secondhand. I’ve pushed most of my One+ tools to their limits (not to mention a fair share of the even worse built Hart tools) and am always surprised how much they can do.

And before someone comments that they’re not as powerful as other TTI brands or DeWalts—yeah. I know. Most people also aren’t going to need the power that comes with those, either.

That being said, the vacuums are Ryobi’s weak spot. A lot of Ryobi users recommend buying other name-brand cordless vacs, and sticking an adapter on them. Their 40v lawnmowers and snowblowers used to also have a variety of issues, but it seems like the last few models have fixed those.

I’d lose my mind if that finally happened. With no disrespect to X8 and ZX Advent’s cliffhangers, Legends 2’s ending has the biggest potential for world building and gameplay coming out of it. That’d be amazing to finally see happen.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard of it and it looks awful. That’s paw-patrol level of animation right there, and it definitely sits in the uncanny valley of animation for me.

I’ll sound like an old man, but I miss the days of going to a website and not having to deal with the SEO junk.

Any other recommendations aside from TeamViewer? AnyDesk has been getting worse with each update. Can’t even use a free account to have a dedicated hostname anymore…

Tiger R-Zone games, and the consoles. It’s a nice collection, because the library is pretty small.

As far as I know, I’ve got one of the most-complete, if not the most-complete collections out there, and one day I’d like to donate it to an archive or museum for caretaking. At this point, the only confirmed game I’m missing is the incredibly rare soccer game (“Football”, as it was sold—and rightfully so).

The system brought me a lot of joy as a kid, despite its simplicity, and I think the difficulty to collect it makes it easy to be forgotten to history.
