  I get you. I think you’re right - if you have a page which does make heavy use of JS, it can be difficult if not.impossible to replicate the same behaviour without it. HOWEVER: you can often get something close enough!

  To go back to my shop example: yes, you can use JS to show a richer shopping experience, with pop-up windows, filtering, and the ability to add to cart without leaving the page. Graceful degradation would be to show the same listings, but without the more convenient features that use JS - so without popups, with filtering that refreshes the page, and a completely separate cart.

  Some apps really can’t function without JS, because they are… well, apps.

  People do stuff in JavaScript that you really don’t need JavaScript for. You don’t need JS to display a store listing, for instance. Or a news page, or documentation, or even a search engine

  I liked it when it was used to digitise books. Beyond that… nah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bring them back!!!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just realised - Hammond was such a cheapskate that even the seatbelts in the helicopters didn’t work properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone ever read the book series “Biff, Chip & Kipper” as a kid?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember they were graded in colours. I read them so much they ran out of colours to give me.

  Tyres and tarmac!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silverfall is low-poly and low mercy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I see - I don’t know why, but I assumed this was a new game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silverfall is low-poly and low mercy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no, we’re getting to the point where PS2-era visuals are considered low-poly??

  Doesn’t even have the usual “we value your privacy” lie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows Vista's startup sound suddenly reappears in Windows 11's beta build, and no, it's not a joke⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even without that, there was still full support for classic 95-style themes, even if they were a bit of a pfaff to put together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shortly after we introduce monetisation so terrible, everyone hates it - just to test your pain threshold

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yooka-Replaylee | Demo Stinger Trailer | Play the Demo Now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who loves the collectathon-style platformer… yeah, YL’s graphics should be the least of their concerns. I’ve been playing through Banjo-Kazooie recently and it’s SO much better.

  I have never come across a CRT whose native “frame rate” was 24

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Donkey Kong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  DK64 has a certain charm to it. I think there’s a really good game in there, but it also tries to do WAYYY too much, and having to memorise all those Street Fighter button combos to pull off basic moves is hard work.

  You forgot SteamOS: Blue Shift and SteamOS: Opposing Force. (The latter of which has a Windows theme)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Autopilot and Autopilot Device Preparation spring to mind. Two distinct products, and yet they’ve gone down the Wii U naming route
