haywire

Vampire Survivors, Wreckfest, Slay the Princess, Hue.

I’ll go plain old paracetamol which works for me most of the time. If that fails then ibuprofen would be my next choice.

Emulators have always existed alongside their consoles. That’s to only way you get enough talent involved in a project like that. Difference is these days computers are fast enough to emulate the consoles much better and the architecture they use is a lot closer to what the PC is using anyway in a lot of cases, or at least a documented strain of ARM with a few custom tweaks.

The people working on the emulators are pioneers forging a path that takes a massive amount of time and effort. Trial and error, tweaking and ironing out the kinks can last years.

I still play, I can see me running out of desire to play as much with the changes to the way new content is delivered.

Unless something changes soon for the better I can’t see the game staying afloat for more than the next couple of years. Which is a real shame.

No cosmetic items should cost more than £10/$20 imho £50/$70 is a full game for crying out loud.

Forgive me if this is an overly simplistic view but if the ads with cookies are all served on Google’s platform say then would all those ads have access to the Google cookie jar?

If they don’t now then you can bet they are working on just that.

There are a lot of games that work. Still some that hold out, mainly due to their shitty anticheat software.

Great. So managing printers, network settings and quickly comparing settings from two places becomes a weird game of screenshots and guessing.

Remote support workers of the world collectively shake their fist in despair.

No way on this planet I will be able to explain the new UI to your average office worker.

The first generation DS could play GBA games.

The original Wii could play GameCube games.

The 3DS ran DS games.

The GBA ran GB and GBC games.

The WiiU could run most Wii games.

Nintendo has history making backwards compatibility a selling point of it help sell consoles.

AI generated content is great and all but it drowns out everything else on there. Anyone can type a prompt and generate a great looking image with a couple of attempts these days it seems.

The people spending days, weeks, months and more on a piece can’t keep up.

When it comes to WiFi Mac’s mobile phones have fudged them for “privacy” for years, if this goes main stream I see the same thing coming in for Bluetooth.

They promise the macs are random but I don’t have much faith in that.

Looking up a real Mac to see what manufacturer it came from is something I do almost daily sorting out network issues for customers and really is not difficult. From there it takes a leap to guess what the device is if it’s name doesn’t help but more often than not it’s easy enough to see what’s out there, the random macs of phones stick out like a sore thumb as they don’t come back as anything usually so you can then track that around the network and see what they are up to that way.

No problem, hope you get things sorted. The formatting sometimes goes screwy posting on mobile so I try to space things out.

I’m intrigued by pasta and and strawberries, gonna have to do some research now

Boil pasta and drain.

Add tuna/sausage/vegetables (sweetcorn/cucumber/carrots work, pineapple if you are daring)

Add sauce, BBQ, Mayo, sweet chilli

Add cheese to taste.

Pick a combination that sounds good.

Tuna, mayo, sweetcorn

Sausage, cherry tomatoes, BBQ sauce

Eat enjoy. Got me through many tight times.

Yup, killed the one reason I had to go in there apart from the Pokémon codes.

Merch is overpriced, they won’t part-ex anymore. They closed stores and moved to crappy corners of sports direct and what not. It’s dying. It’ll be an online portal where kids send links to grandparents at Christmas soon.

I acquire the MP3 of the song I want from where ever I can find it. Be that buying it, YouTube converter or elsewhere. Then copy it to the SD card on my phone to listen to. No ads, no data connection needed. I even bother to set the album covers and tags up so it is all searchable in the Oto app I use on my phone.

It may be a stretch but Spyro, Tomb Raider and Portal may scratch that itch it thier own ways. Rad Rodgers is a side scroller 3D shooter and anything in the Contra style is going to be madness. The old Skylander games depending on the characters you used could be played as shooters I suppose.

And since they are shutting down they won’t be in touch at all

If it’s gonna use a load of memory let me theme it, colour schemes, skins based on games and let me switch off the community feeds that are full of shitty trying to be funny guides and crap.

Custom toast popups that pair with the game you are playing.

Reminders for the free stickers in the mobile app during events?

I’ve be n using Astro for ages. I tried a few and found them bloated and missing something. Astro has some extra bits I don’t use but I never switched them on so it’s not an issue. You can hide anything you don’t use on the opening screen from the options too.

I was expecting some exploit of the ancient underlying OS but that looked relatively simple.

The fact the exploit was able to infect config backups to persist is interesting too.
