If you stick a penny in the back will it do a wheelie, too?

There are retro revival consoles that aren’t deliberately made to looks like the original incarnations. I think the issue here was that the consoles being sold were deliberate counterfeits of otherwise valuable original retro machines.

For instance, litigious as they are Nintendo has either been unable or unwilling to snuff out things like the RetroN machines which play original Nintendo and SNES cartridges (and Genesis, and some others) but don’t claim to be a Nintendo machine or look like one in any way.

That said, I personally would totally buy a fake OG JDM Super Famicom just to have on the shelf, or even a shell just that looks like one.

Roses are red

Violets are blue

They say it don’t be that way

But sometimes it do

People are going to see this, so here’s the answer.

Logitech’s web UI is crap. See that tiny, unlabled triangle on the list on the left?

Click it and pick your OS version.

Then you get the download.

Yeah, you’re totally allowed to cuss on the internet.

The game was, you’d put one kid in the middle and then everybody else would do their level best to spin the damn thing so fast it would either drill into the Earth’s mantle or take off like a helicopter.

You should post it somewhere else just to spite them. Peertube, Odysee, or whatever. Or post the fucker to the Pirate Bay.

Yes, fond memories of using No$Gb on my 486 laptop back in the day to play pirated copies of Pokémon Red and Blue…

To shine a spotlight on just how long ago, the DOS version of No$Gb had a Y2K easter egg built into it, which I got to witness in real time. And it was hilarious.

Turns out there is!

Do you want to do the honors?

That happens in Super Castlevania/4, and then subsequently un-happens and never fully comes back. I have no idea WTF was up with that decision. Being able to whip in all directions was rad.

You can kinda-sorta whip diagonally upwards in Castlevania: Bloodlines and you can still do the thing where you hold the button down and fidget around impotently with the whip in Rondo of Blood and Dracula X, but that’s about it. Oh, and I guess you can do the thing in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon where you helicopter the thing around and it does crap for damage, too. Lame.

Chinese immigrants

I used to work at a Chinese restaurant an the number of people who came in there blithely asking me if we “really” cooked and served cats was astounding.

I got tired of answering the question so often that towards the end I gave up and my standard response was, “No, we only cook and serve idiots who go around saying we cook cats.”

I think the very low percentage of lost business was worth it. And this only because my boss told me that this kind of thing did not meet the criteria wherein I was allowed to roundhouse kick patrons in the teeth. If you’re going to be a dumbass, at least try to be original.

…Nnnnno, there is literally a tool from Logitech called “Logitech Unifying Software,” which is the applet you need to reassign a Logitech Unifying receiver to a different device.

And while we’re at it, a physical tactile keyboard.

Pool’s closed.

A significant chunk of the Dreamcast’s library is nearly pixel-perfect arcade ports, since the machine itself is basically a slightly cut down instance of Sega’s Naomi arcade hardware. And almost everything that isn’t is an absolute banger classic. There are very few duds in the Dreamcast’s entire lineup. The situation is basically the reverse of the N64’s library.

I can do you one better: My GPD laptop has a charging indicator on the center type-C port indicating that this is where the power supply goes, but it can actually be charged from either port regardless of the icon. Both ports are USB 3.0 or 3.2 or whatever the current fast standard is this week, but only the center one supports video out via an external GPU enclosure. So if you want to use it docked with an eGPU, it’s actually required to not plug the power supply into the port that says you should plug the power supply into it.

So not only is the marking meaningless, it’s arguably worse than meaningless because in one of the headline hardware setups for the machine it is actually 100% incorrect to do what the marking is telling you to do. Wrap your head around that one…

But if they omit the symbol entirely, they save 0.003 cents per unit, but they will continue to charge the same inflated retail price for it and all their cult members will cover for them by gushing about how sleek the “minimalist” design is.

We’re not calling it that anymore. It’s been rebranded to “SuperDuper Speed USB ]|[” now. Note that this is a different standard than the previous “SuperDuper Speed USB 3,” and under no circumstances should you call it “SuperDuper Speed USB 3.0,” because there was never any such spec and pedantic nerds will climb up your nose in the comments if you ever utter it.
