- Comment on Transferring Dreamcast VMU Save Files Just Got Even Easier | Time Extension 3 weeks ago:
Cool project. The description here reads to and from Dreamcast VMU, but from what I’ve read on the Github page it’s only to get them onto the Dreamcast, and not from. I’m still looking for a way to backup my physical VMU and to be able to continue playing on emulators.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #7 - Battlezone 98 Redux 1 month ago:
Oh man, Battlezone: the Red Odyssey was one of my first true gaming moments and I loved it so much. It was my most favorite game for a very long time. It was believed for a while thar the source code got lost and it therefore wouldn’t become available as DLC for Battlezone 98 Redux, but I guess the developers either found it or remade it from scratch since DLC has been available for some time now.
I bought Battlezone 1 some time after experiencing Red Odyssey and I was sure it had background music though. It was one of the very few boxed games I bought and remembered it had an awesome looking manual. In 1999, Battlezone II: Combat Commander was released and I don’t think it had a story but only a skirmish RTS/FPS mode. I didn’t like it that much.
Battlezone Gold Edition (2017) has nothing to with the above series I think, and seems more like a spinoff of the 1980’s Battlezone. I’ve seen this game once before but totally forgot it existed until seeing it now. Battlezone Combat Commander (2018) is a remake of Battlezone II (1999).

- Comment on Unreal Tournament 2004 20 Years Later: An LGR Retrospective 7 months ago:
I remember playing on a RPG invasion server and it was one of the best gaming experiences up to that point. It was PVE where you’d get XP for every monster you killed and wave you’d survive and you could use it to upgrade your weapons and stats. Sadly just a few days after discovering it, the server went offline and I haven’t found another one like it.
- Comment on President Biden is now posting into the fediverse 7 months ago:
Fair point. Can’t argue with that.
- Comment on President Biden is now posting into the fediverse 7 months ago:
Ah I see, understandable. Still it’s presented like he’s the universal/everyone’s president.
- Comment on President Biden is now posting into the fediverse 7 months ago:
I like how his name is “President Joe Biden” as if not to be confused with the other Joe Biden. Also this insinuates that he is the president of Threads, or the Fediverse, or even the world maybe?
- Comment on How the House revived the TikTok ban bill before most of us noticed 8 months ago:
You seem to be missing the point.
in fact the US is stricter on drugs and alcohol than a lot of it’s peer nations
This is exactly why I posted my comment: Those things are regulated sincr they have age restrictions/bans/taxes(tarrifs?). TikTok doesn’t have any of those. Plus it’s not like you can tax TikTok use like you can tax alcohol use so I don’t understand your comparison with Smirnoff.
- Comment on How the House revived the TikTok ban bill before most of us noticed 8 months ago:
Do you also think the same about alcohol, tobacco, drugs and gambling?

- Comment on Controversial benchmarking website goes behind paywall — Userbenchmark now requires a $10 monthly subscription 8 months ago:
Uhh… Aren’t… Aren’t these two statements kinda contradictory?
No no, you see; it performs reasonably consistency under varying real world conditions but for a CPU to truly shine it needs to handle all workloads, including unrealistic synthetic ones.

The exact same ones yes.

Now! - Comment on Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us? 10 months ago:
Sure, you don’t have to support it with updates indefinitely, but I think the possibility should exist to delist it so new people can’t buy it but people who bought it before would still be able to download it (with no guarantee it will work).
