Yeah, do it!
I had a similar touch when I was younger. I’ve worked for Circuit City, Toys ‘R’ Us, and Blockbuster Video. Sadly, Best Buy somehow survived.
- Comment on What happened to Kbin.Social? 1 month ago:
The owner of the site (Ernest, IIRC) has some health issues that have kept him from being as active as he had wanted. He also wrote the frontend code as an alternative to the Lemmy software. Mbin continues onward as a fork of Kbin.
I wish him the best. I hope he gets better. I know too well what chronic illness can do to a person.
- Comment on Spike In Removed Google Reviews On September 17th. 1 month ago:
I suppose they could have had evidence that the positive reviews were paid for and manufactured. Not that I trust Google to do anything that isn’t to their direct benefit.

There’s a ROM download on the developer’s page. Does anyone know if that’s a beta version or a demo or…?

The game still needs to be available for the right CPU architecture.

Drilldozer on GBA is a decent game that’s easy to consume in small chunks

I remember using the mouse on Wolfenstein 3D, but that was the only game I ever played with it besides Mario Paint.
- Comment on What are some PlayStation games you avoid? 1 month ago:
Nothing wrong with knowing what you like. I grew up on arcades and early generation consoles, so my preference skews towards faster paced games with tight controls. Because of that I just don’t enjoy anything that I perceive as slow to control. To be fair though, any games from those early generations that felt slow to control didn’t appeal to me either.
- Comment on What are some PlayStation games you avoid? 1 month ago:
Ah, but if you only go after what you want, then by definition you’re avoiding what you don’t want.

I want to like LOK:SR, but I can’t get past how much I dislike how it controls.
I agree that Tomb Raider is worse though.
- Comment on What are some PlayStation games you avoid? 1 month ago:
Games with “tank” controls like Tomb Raider or Legacy of Kain. I find them painful and unenjoyable.

You could always just do a plate that’s customized to the SBC layout, like what you’d get with a PC motherboard.

This was my experience too. I tried setting up a Bottles container for it as I’ve had success with that approach a few of the times that I can’t get a Proton version to work, but no dice.
I actually wasted a couple of hours trying to get it to work because it looks fun, but I gave up when I realized that I had spent all of that evening’s free time not having fun.

I would have signed it too, but only because I’m awesome on fiddle and I could totally win my soul back.

I put the original Uforia on my playlist when I was checking out Gimmick. Sunsoft sure made a lot of good but underrated titles.
- Comment on Gimmick! 2 Releases On September 5 For Switch And PC, With a Release For PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, And Xbox One Coming Soon After | Retro Gaming News 24/7 2 months ago:
Neat. The original was late enough into the NES lifecycle that I missed it altogether having moved to the flashier SNES by then – which seems like what happened with the game with most publishers outside of Japan.
Looking at gameplay video of the original, they were clearly squeezing everything they could out of the NES for it. I’m going to have to check it out.
I wonder how the sequel will be.
- Comment on Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report 2 months ago:
It doesn’t have to be free. People used to pay for licensed software with money instead of their private data. We can do that again, or there’s still open source options like Firefox and it’s derivatives.
- Comment on Just why?? 3 months ago:
I remember that explanation too. Additionally, in some cultures putting money directly into the hand of another person is frowned upon for various reasons.
