  I believe people from Moscow are called Muscovites. I don’t know about Versailles though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me that I once read about a Thompson Twins game that was distributed as a flexi disc record. In order to actually play the game it had to be copied to a cassette first. Apparently it’s pretty rare, since it was only available as a bonus with a specific issue of a magazine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there really only a few New 3DS exclusive games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is correct, however SNES Virtual Console games were also exclusive and a number of games were enhanced on New consoles.

  If you’re looking to save a bit of money, you might want to consider a Japanese console and modding it. 3DS prices are pretty crazy at the moment and no one knows if they’ll ever come down.

  It’s recommended that you use a dedicated card for FreeMCBoot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about the ds lite, dsi, and gba games.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A flashcart is definitely the best option for compatibility. Just one thing you should know about playing GBA on a DS or 3DS is that it lacks an extension port, so any link cable functionality is out of the question. As for the screen, the DS(i) has a slightly higher resolution, so there’ll be a black border around the picture, but no stretching or anything. The 3DS has a much higher resolution screen and by default it scales the image up, but not to a whole number and that makes it blurry. The 3DS does that to DS games too, but can play in the original resolution by holding Start or Select when launching a game (you would need to do this every time, but I think there’s a way to make it permanent with custom firmware).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite Pokémon Game?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Crystal is very special to me. I always felt like I was “wrong” as a child for not liking “girl things.” It was the first game I ever played that offered a female protagonist. That was something that told me that I was okay the way I am. I know it’s kind of silly, but it really helped me become comfortable with myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some old freeware PC games you've kept playing over the years?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Irisu Syndrome! is a favorite of mine. It’s only from 2008, so I personally don’t consider it retro. It’s tricky to learn at first since it doesn’t tell you anything about how to play and I don’t recall there being a manual. It’s also one of those games that you can’t really say too much about without spoiling things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Retro Warriors 498 - WonderSwan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m aware of it, but I haven’t played it yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Retro Warriors 498 - WonderSwan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had been wanting one of these for years, so I finally picked one up thanks to some Christmas money. I put in an IPS screen, some pads to fix the power button, a new lens, and got some rechargeable AA batteries. I have three games so far, Klonoa: Moonlight Museum, Digital Monster Ver. WonderSwan, and Final Fantasy IV. I’ve mostly been playing Klonoa, since it’s the main reason I wanted a WonderSwan in the first place (also all those Digimon games). I might get myself a Flash Masta next time they’re available to play some fan translations and maybe some more absurdly expensive titles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Blood Blockade Battlefront' Manga Will Get an Omnibus Release in July⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is great. I’ve been hoping for something like this since the original releases have gotten so expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't Forget The Sega 32X Turns 30 This Year, Too | Time Extension⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Knuckles’ Chaotix

  It’s one of the more obscure Sonic titles since it was a 32X exclusive and it’s never been rereleased. It doesn’t really take advantage of the 32X’s capabilities and it’s generally regarded as being on the easy side, but I think it’s worth checking out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where can I find the highest quality Star Trek: The Original Series?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming you mean legally, the best options are Paramount+ (or whichever service it’s on outside the US) or on Blu-ray. None of the television series are available in 4K to my knowledge, but the movies are.
