Clearly a task beyond many dog owners of Brighton, sadly
- Comment on This man is a parody of himself 1 month ago:
I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it
- Comment on Infinity 1 month ago:
Instead of making me think about space, the solar system or the universe… this just gives me an existential crisis visualising, how few weeks are actually in a year and how brief a lifetime actually is.
Then I try to think about space instead.

- Comment on What's the oldest game anyone here has played in 2024? 2 months ago:
Playing 2600 on original hardware is pretty awesome.
- Comment on What's the oldest game anyone here has played in 2024? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I’d actually only ever played VII and VIII before recently.
Now I seem to be going backwards through the series. Played VII, VI, and now V, where I currently find myself doing some rather boring endgame grinding to try to defeat the final boss battle.

Oldest this year.
But maybe up until this year, or in the last 5 years would have been the more interesting question.

Yeah, Myst was definitely something else when it came out

Yeah, playing Resident Evil for the first time was something incredibly atmospheric and special. I rented it from Blockbuster and knew straight away I had to buy it.
Before it released my friend and I used to speed-run the Resident Evil 2 demo which let you play as far as you could get into the full game, but with an 8 minute time limit.

Yeah, I very nearly added seeing the Mortal Kombat arcade to my original post but decided maybe I was writing too much!

I feel the same way about it being a privilege. I missed the earliest part… but even to have lived through the NES and Master System era through to today has been amazing.
Games will continue getting ever more impressive, but nobody again will witness the kind of seismic leaps in what games could accomplish that people saw between the 70s and 2000s.

Just remembered that seeing Doom for the first time is another obvious one. Man that game was incredible when it came out.

The tiny thumbnail for this looked like a belly button on my phone, had no idea what I was tapping on at first

Excellent work, my favourite Mario Kart due to countless, countless hours spent playing at uni.
Need to set that bad boy to 4:3 not 16:9 for the aspect ratio to be correct though!

It’s an older system sir, but it checks out
- Comment on Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders. 11 months ago:
Yep, absolutely this.
You cannot listen to musically losslessly with AirPods Max, cabled or not.
From Apple’s own site: “The Lightning to 3.5 mm Audio Cable was designed to allow AirPods Max to connect to analog sources for listening to movies and music. AirPods Max can be connected to devices playing Lossless and Hi-Res Lossless recordings with exceptional audio quality. However, given the analog-to-digital conversion in the cable, the playback will not be completely lossless.”
If someone thinks AirPods Max sound amazing, they’re agreeing how good compressed audio can sound, whether they realise it or not.
