Oh yes, I remember the audio one, too!
Thought to have been an ordinary falling star.

This was before proactive remediations were a thing. Script probably would’ve worked, although I find them a bit vague as to how they work
It’s a very old meme… and not especially applicable here
There have been two distinct Windows updates in recent memory that have broken things.
The one that stopped network printers from working, and you had to change a specific GPO setting which was not available in Intune at the time, meaning I had to do it manually on each computer.
The one that removed all shortcuts to Office 365 apps from the desktop and start menu, necessitating a repair… manually on each affected machine.
So it does happen on occasion. It’s not as bad as in the XP days, but it still can be a little sketchy at times
If there was ever a suitable time to release a game to the public domain…
She’s so hench she doesn’t need armour
The consensus seems to be that people only played it because it came bundled with the console
Not really, I just think it’s the best controller. Ergonomic shape, octagonal stick gate (which is a criminally underused feature), good button layout… the only thing wrong with it is that the analogue triggers have a bit too much travel on them.
I’m a big fan of the 8bitdo Ultimate C, but my favourite may well be the GameCube controller
But adoption has fallen so significantly that you have to rely on listicles to find what you’re looking for. The same could very easily and quickly happen with optical discs, and if I may be afforded an anecdote, I’ve seen exactly one optical disc brand in the last decade (Verbatim). And that’s when shops have them available, which is extremely rare nowadays.
They might not go away completely, but just like with headphone jacks on phones, you’ll have to scrounge for them. Same with if you want a display that’s less than 6", or a physical keyboard. (Or a floppy disk…!)
“Jank and unfinished” sounds like it fits the immersive sim MO to me! (I mean this with the utmost respect)
I know the topic isn’t about HR, but as a huge fan of that game, I recently replayed the non-DC version and found myself really appreciating the yellow tint. It ties the aesthetic together, and the DC always looked a bit flat and unfinished without it. But that’s just me.
How many headphone jacks do you see today? All it takes is one big player, and adoption can fall just like that.
A Binatone 6-in-1 Pong machine from (if I recall) around 1977. My next oldest machine is a red-label Astro Wars from 1980.
Which ones? As far as I’m aware, they’re all full-fat PS3 titles
Oh no
Pretty sure I was fooling around with LimeWire at that age
I don’t see you contributing much of value either…
Not at all. Just because a CRT is inherently fuzzy, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a nice sharp source image.
