I’ve definitely played through the game multiple times in a row on just those three lives. You gain more lives at certain score levels anyway. If you play through the entire game without dying, you’ll have around 10 lives left. And if you sit through the credits, the game continues from the beginning, only it gets harder after every loop. After 4 or 5 consecutive runs, the basic enemies that usually just run and jump actually start shooting at you.

Bonk’s Adventure for PC Engine/Turbo Grafx 16 was the game that sold that console. It’s brightly colored, has fun graphics and large sprites, and easy to pick up. It’s pretty easy, and not very long, but it’s quite fun. Also since the controllers on that console had a built-in switch to enable turbo on the buttons, the game is built with that in mind. The sequels were released after 1990, but are also quite fun and each add something to the previous games.

NES Contra is spot on for controls. Just picking it up for the first time, it’s so responsive and the movement feels good pretty much immediately. The arcade version of the game had weird jumping movement that feels clunky, but the NES version just feels so much better. It’s also not as hard as its reputation makes it out to be.

- Comment on Is it possible to 3D scan a motorcycle helmet and make smaller replicas? 3 weeks ago:
It’s definitely possible. Depending on the budget, you can take the helmet to a professional that does 3D fabrication.
I’d say the first step should be to find a local maker space and see if anyone there can help you. Most will have 3d printers, and some might have 3d scanners. If they don’t, maybe someone there personally owns one.

Why do kids like you always have to make things generational??
The irony of this question is painful.
You just complained about what younger people do, and then you complained about being called out for it bevause someone “made it generational.”
You made it generational.

Yeah, but 14 million tons of gold, silver, and copper. Surely the people being poisoned would agree if they understood how much money that meant, right?

Are you trying to convert from Rosen to Einstein to Bose to HDMI? I’m pretty sure you’ll lost a ton of signal quality from that many conversions.

I don’t know if it was in 1.0 but definitely before the final version. I tried it before 1.666 was around and chose to play keyboard only.

Mouselook was an option, but since the engine didn’t have any options for looking up and down, it always felt weird to play with a mouse.

You can get map markers very early into the game. Basically from the first time you meet the mapmaker some 30 minutes into the game.

- Comment on Uh Oh: Nintendo Just Landed A ‘Summoning’ And ‘Battling’ Patent 5 weeks ago:
Patent laws in Japan don’t work the same way as they do in most of the world. And they can only enforce their patent on companies operating in Japan.
The whole Palworld situation was based on patents that Nintendo only applied for after Palworld was already released.
- Comment on Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space 5 weeks ago:
It’s not. The size of the game isn’t the limiting factor.
Anecdotally, I played Horizon Forbidden West on PS4 and occasionally got loading screens while out and about in the open world. I assume the HDD was the cause of this.

- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 month ago:
The OS is 160 GB? That seems unrealistic. Windows 11 is bloated AF and is less than 30 GB.
What could an OS running on fixed hardware have that requires 160 GB?
- Comment on What if you tried to run Windows malware on Linux? 1 month ago:
There’s still a layer of abstraction there. Since it requires Wine to run, it wouldn’t be able to run itself in the future unless it’s aware that it’s being run in Wine. Then it would need to set up a way to launch itself via Wine.

Even if panspermia is the leading theory for life on Earth, abiogenesis had to have happened somewhere at some point before.

What I do recall was one guy asking very specific questions about how much we would be able to customize genitals, and whether sex would be fully interactive with visuals of full penetration.
And while none of those things are wrong per se, the general vibe of asking about all of those things was very weird and pervy.
- Comment on U.S. takes 10% stake in Intel as Trump flexes more power over big business 1 month ago:
“Nationalized” with a heavy dose of quote marks. The government now owns about 10% of Intel in non-voting shares. It’s basically meaningless.
- Comment on Flight attendant union leaders ‘ready to go to jail’ as Air Canada strike outlawed 2 months ago:
The union and airline have been in negotiations for a long time, and the goverment is using the lack of agreement after so long as a factor in forcing the two parties into binding arbitration, which greatly benefits the airline.
So they’re not banned from striking, technically, but the government has measures in place to force the employees back to work. These measures have rarely been used in the past, but have been used 4 times in the past year against rail workers, port workers, postal workers, and now flight attendants.
- Comment on Secure Boot, TPM and Anti-Cheat Engines 2 months ago:
You can often change your IP by rebooting your router. So the only way an IP ban can really work is when you start banning blocks of IPs, but that can hit other people who have no reason to be banned.
VPNs also aren’t always slower, though they often are. They change the route your packets take, which could have fewer hops to get to their destination, or could have faster connections in some places compared to your standard route.
