The user experience hasn’t undergone significant innovation (improvement) in the last decade

B-b-b-but thinner bezels!!! Slimmer phones!!!

Was also quite common in Brazil, dunno how new phones are handling it

How durable is the PS3 blu-ray reader?

You have to pester the colonel on the codec like 3 or 4 times until he gives the idea to plug the controller on slot 2. The first few times I got past Mantis thanks to infinite ammo and health, brought to me by Gameshark 🦈. If you keep shooting the FAMAS, a shot will occasionally hit Mantis. He dodges explosions, so Grenades, Nikita and Stinger don’t work.

Basement Brothers’ videos on Youtube shows the amount of different floppy disks that some PC88/98 would come in. 5+ was common. Some games would also ask the player to create a user disk, which was essentially a personal copy of some stuff from the main disk plus space for save data, which lowered the risk of messing one of them

Still the only MGS that hasn’t been re-released :(

Also, the video is 17 years old. Ouch.

They did a shit job with me and my colleagues, I can assure you that.

We prefer the term “hard-working individual entrepreneur” - those apps, probably

Left fella has played XCOM

Waiting for the consumer reader and writer of those things, call me then

Imagine working in IT and having colleagues that don’t use adblockers.

Back in kazaa/limewire times, search for any music would always return a bunch of .exe files, like Metallica - Fade to Black.exe. A lot of people learned the difference between file extensions the hard way

It very much has that mid 90s attitude and unique to DOS too. From what I remember, consoles didn’t really have these sort of games.

Having just watched a video explaining how EA strongarmed SEGA during the Genesis/Mega Drive era, the main reason games that “feel” like this one almost never graced the early consoles was mostly due to awful deals that Sega and Nintendo forced publishers to accept - “we’ll produce however many carts we want to, whenever we want to”.

Making a PC game at the time, on the other hand, meant a lot more creative freedom, lower development costs and higher profit per sale, though with a way, way smaller market.

Pay to win is getting out of hand 😆

Soulseek is the current best alternative for music downloading. No viruses disguised as music, afaik
