  1. Me: Let's shove in a game disc into that console!
    Modern consoles: Wait a minute! I have an update!
    Me: OK. Just this update.
    Modern consoles: Update finished!
    Me: Yeah!
    Modern consoles: Wait! I have another update!

    1. @adiwan NES never does this to me! Even on my buggy-ass games.... :-/

    2. @adiwan One of the reasons why I usually get my consoles after they left primary circulation. Then I proceed to use them offline in one fashion or the other.

      1. @drinkingpony Well... I have my PS3, XBox360, and Wii U in my network. I like to have my updates but I like them fast and done once, unlike a typical Windows update that shows more Updates after installing the currently installed (especially when setting up a new Windows installation).

        1. @adiwan Ah, yeah, me too. I probably have a PS2, N64, NES hiding around somewhere. Also a PSP, 3DS and for some reason an OG GameBoy within reach-length if I can remember what pile they rest in.

          But what I really hate are updates, maybe especially so on Windows 10. If I want my system to go into hibernation at the end of the day ( because face it, sometimes I do not want to restart all of the stuff I was busy with ) and see there is an update queued, I might as well do a cointoss on whether or not the system will restart itself in the middle of the night and once done actually reboot untill the last YouTube thing I was busy with starts blaring though my speakers in the darkest hours of the night.

          Quickest way to fix that is probably to switch browsers.

          1. @drinkingpony Haha. Once at work I wanted to compute the shadow maps and ambient occlusion of a larger scene in Unity at the end of my work day. But then Windows decided to install an update and restart it during the process. So I had to do it again the next day.
