- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 1 week ago:
I would love to experience X-COM UFO Defense, but the only X-COMs I’ve played to any extent are the two “modern” Firaxis games. Going back to the originals is a real effort, especially without having the manual to hand.
- Comment on What is everyone's favoured domain name provider these days? 2 weeks ago:
It’s definitely a thing, but not for all domain types. Not sure why.

Like $200 worth of honey?

DAYTONAAAAAA… Let’s go away!
- Comment on What is the best looking retro console or PC? 4 weeks ago:
Speaking of spaceships…
Not the most practical PC engine model, because it lacked the extra oomph of the SuperGrafx and you couldn’t attach a CD-ROM² - but just look at it
- Comment on What is the best looking retro console or PC? 4 weeks ago:
PC Engine. Not only does it look like a prop from the set of TNG, but it is delightfully tiny. The cartridges are little cards that you slot in the front. There is literally nothing bad about a PC Engine. (Except for maybe that it’s only got one controller port)

MPP is glorious
- Comment on Favourite Metroid game? 1 month ago:
Gonna be controversial and say Metroid Prime Hunters… mainly because that’s the one I’ve spent the most time with.
Zero Mission takes a close second, though.
- Comment on Why is Pokémon Emerald so grindy? 1 month ago:
I’ve been playing the Paper Mario TTYD remake on Switch. Out of curiosity, I watched a little gameplay from the GameCube original… and glory be, does it look snappy. They definitely padded out the animations and stuff in the remake.
- Comment on Why is Pokémon Emerald so grindy? 1 month ago:
Could it be that you had a lot more time on your hands, and perhaps fewer games to play, as a kid? I know that aligns with my experience. (Then again, having not played gen 3 myself, it might not be that deep)
- Comment on Day 208 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 1 month ago:
When I did a legendary Combat Evolved solo run, there were one or two speedrunning strats I borrowed. Probably could do the same for H2 - one of the later levels, you can skip entirely if you do it right.

Halo 3 is a lot of fun, and it’s got some brilliant setpieces, but in terms of plot it’s always felt a bit of a rush job.
Even so, I love it to bits and it occupied many memorable evenings between 2008-2010. Definitely a much easier Legendary experience than Halo 2.

Or maybe they wrote ‘darn’ but with dodgy keming?
- Comment on EA releases another shameless IP flip with Sims 1/2 Legacy 1 month ago:
As a lifelong TS2 fan, even I would be hard pressed to pay what they’re charging.
- Comment on Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot? 1 month ago:
This just reminds me of the mod situation for early versions of Minecraft. These day’s it’s as simple as pressing a button and dropping your mods into a folder, but back then it was a case of directly modifying the main Java file, removing specific bits, adding specific bits in specific places… not smooth at all
- Comment on is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs? 2 months ago:
That was a big reason for me leaving my old job.
- Comment on Is Mario Kart Double Dash the best one? 2 months ago:
I just love the feeling of zipping around with the Mach Bike. In MK8, they’re not quite as responsive and don’t feel as good as the karts do, so it’s almost the opposite problem
- Comment on Is Mario Kart Double Dash the best one? 2 months ago:
I personally lean towards Wii. The feel of the inline bikes just hasn’t been matched. Super Circuit a close second for nostalgia reasons.
- Comment on BattleTanx series rereleasing on N64 | Retro Gaming News 24/7 4 months ago:
BattleTanx is extremely naff, but I always have a good time with it. I grew up with the PlayStation version, which runs ridiculously slowly; N64, on the other hand, feels a bit too fast!

It kind of does, if you count testing / sid.

The theme from X-COM.

Windows XP. 2001–2019. If 10 beats that I’ll be impressed
- Comment on Dropbox is laying off 20% of its staff 5 months ago:
They used to! I actually got the 1TB plan the same year they phased it out. Good timing on my part there. Waste of £70 or whatever it was.

- Comment on Flipt: open-source, CloudNative feature flag solution 5 months ago:
Genuinely confused as to what the use case is for this. Do you put it in your own app / page? Is it for managing features across all your services? Is it just its own features??
- Comment on WordPress demands conf organizers share social media logins. 5 months ago:
If anyone wants a ‘quick’ solution, have a look at ClassicPress which was forked from WordPress a while ago.
NB: it does have a big friendly ‘migrate’ button which works pretty well (in the form of a WordPress plugin). However, expect some of your other plugins not to be compatible.
