We can rebuild him, we have the technology. But I don’t want to spend a lot of money.

Yeah I don’t like it when they remove what are essentially accessibility features in the name of their artistic vision. A classic is something like limiting when you can pause the game.

I guess it’s a design decision so people don’t save-scum, but losing your whole game highlights a pretty massive issue with that design
- Comment on 1 week ago:
That makes sense. OP mentioning save slots made me think they were habitually duplicating their entire save file after each save or something!
- Comment on 1 week ago:
How would multiple save slots have helped a random bug which lost all your progress?

- Comment on GameSir Tako: A vertical phone controller for retro games. At $21 in China, is it worth it? 4 weeks ago:
Software: Their app is clunky. Screen scaling is manual to avoid blocking content.
Do you need their software? Is it not just a controller which can be recognised by games?
- Comment on Old Nokia, lost mobile games 4 weeks ago:
I had a Symbian Nokia as my first smart-ish phone, having a web browser that could run real websites (even if you had to move the cursor around with a dpad) was absolute sci-fi. It could also run flash games, I remember getting a flash version of pacman from a games website, copying it to my phone, and being able to run it right from the file browser.

Good to know, thanks

Thanks, I’ll treat that like an instruction manual

I bought this game at least a decade ago but I still haven’t given it more than half an hour of play, and it clearly deserves a proper go. Is this a game I can just pick up and play or is it one of those where you really need to have a wiki open to vaguely understand what’s going on? I generally don’t like looking stuff up until I’ve completed (or otherwise got most of the way through) a game but if some prior reading is actually required then I want to know in advance.

I guess some of those people you knew at school who just couldn’t help spouting any nonsense that would make them seem cool never grew out of it
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Support for other versions of the game is planned in the future.
You might still be in luck

Ripping a GameCube disc is pretty simple if you’ve got a hacked Wii, which is not too hard to do if you own specific games

Highlights it perfectly!

What’s the old adage? Users are very good at telling you what doesn’t work and very bad at telling you how it should be improved.

- Comment on AI job scams are booming – and I was fooled by one. Here is how to avoid them 1 month ago:
I don’t think this is something new, there has always been “spear phishing”, i.e. targeted scams. The scattergun approach to spam still exists separately, it’s just that the targeted scams are now easier to set up.

Snapchat still exists? This is like reading that Angry Birds is making redundancies; a flashback to the early days of smartphones that I haven’t even thought about this decade.
