It was a replacement screen, too, not the built-in display.

That’s Zara Boss, not Gigachad.

Check the URL. The site clearly changed the headline after OP posted.

Not sure about OP, but it reminds me of The Enormous Egg.

Pong is over 50. For that matter, Tennis for Two is coming up on 70.

Sorry, but Acclaim really was that wild for a bit there. They also had a promotion where you’d get a free copy of one of the Turok games if you named a newborn child after him. For what it’s worth, I don’t think anyone took them up on either offer, but it certainly brought in the publicity.
- Comment on First game you played 9 months ago:
Pac-Man on the Atari 2600. I understand the complaints about that port, but I’ll always have a soft spot for it for getting me into the hobby way back when.
- Comment on Inventor of NTP protocol that keeps time on billions of devices dies at age 85 9 months ago:
Yeah, the domain part got replaced with “*removed*”. I’ve seen that before when some instances censor certain slurs, but it’s hard to imagine what’s wrong with removed that’d get it added to a filter.

Star Trek DS9: Crossroads of Time on Super Nintendo.
I remember a friend telling me I couldn’t use the same phaser twice against Borg drones. I was confident they wouldn’t put a detail like like that in a game. Not two seconds later, the very next drone blocked my phaser. (Clearly one of Trek’s ongoing lessons in the arrogance of man. Ahem.)
- Comment on GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles 11 months ago:
I’m confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Because they’re still referring to PS5 and XSX as “next gen”, which is ridiculous this far into a generation. I’m glad even their own commenters are calling that out.

Check the Eurogamer link in the article. It’s from 2012. This shouldn’t be an article in 2023.
- Comment on Gonna need a few rewrites 11 months ago:
It did in Lower Decks’ most recent season. Yet another reason to love that show.
- Comment on TIL that Hitler approved the construction of a supertank weighing 1,000 tons, over 100 feet long, with a main gun repurposed from the deck gun of a battleship. 11 months ago:
More like Sniper Elite 3. The last level has you collapsing a secret base to destroy the unfinished prototype of this beast.

I was lucky enough to have the manual for ET lying around. It helps greatly in explaining the game’s bizarre logic (and how to escape the infamous pits). It’s not much weirder than most 2600 games once you read it, provided somebody didn’t throw it out thinking it was useless.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x09 "The Inner Fight" 1 year ago:
The intel was “someone’s targeting ex-Starfleet officers”. The dialogue then suggests Starfleet command put together the list of former officers. They didn’t necessarily pull those names from the intel.

- Comment on What Game Boy game do you love that you never hear anyone talk about? 1 year ago:
I’m so happy someone other than me remembers Radar Mission. I too still get the music stuck in my head from time to time.
- Comment on What's that music called that was used in 90s documentaries about the birth of the earth? 1 year ago:
Spacewave? It tends to be more slow paced and synth-heavy. For example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RlxClUifEw&t=1800 (at the 30 minute mark, though the very first song works too)

I’m relieved to know I’m not the only one who got that mixed up. I had to rewatch the bridge scene to understand they were tracking the ship.
Also, I just now looked ahead. Is the next title really a Garth Marenghi reference? Because that’s amazing.

Records are spotty, but indicate it results from a lack of “updog”.

Corporate Memphis. I too hate how it’s taken over.

That it’s not immediately blasting every ship it comes near. It was either oblivious to their presence or ignoring them outright, until they were dumb enough to threaten it.

Study: Streamers Now Wasting Record Amounts of Time Finding Something to Watch
Content discovery challenges are forcing the average consumer to spend 10.5 minutes finding something to watch each time they access their streaming services according to Nielsen
Combining those, it sounds to me like their usage of “streamers” is referring to the viewers. If they meant the services, it’d read more like “Streamers now wasting record amounts of people’s time”.

It’s a sad trend watching the people who defined your childhood pass away.
