That’s a really good point. Software emulation is fine for most people, but Analogue stuff is going to be as close to the original as possible plus having all those modern things that we expect now. I haven’t emulated N64 stuff very much so maybe there’s more complications than I was thinking.
I believe it’s probably slightly more for a used N64 in good condition, but your point is valid. I actually bought an Analogue Pocket. It’s a quality product, no question about it. I guess the appeal for that one for me is that you can get adapter to play whatever handheld cartridges in one system and the screen is way better quality than the original systems. An N64 though, I’m not as certain. These typically have an SD card slot so that you can run roms on them, but if you just want an emulation machine, there are far more cost effective options. I’d probably argue that the N64 model makes the least sense because the console was pretty reliable and didn’t have the read issues like the standard front loader NES.
I don’t believe Silent Hill 1 has endings based on number of saves or anything like that. It’s about items found and actions taken. So I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s not a particularly long game if you end up with a bad ending on your first playthrough. I know Silent Hill 2 has endings that are affected by like when you heal and maybe how you fight in the game.
In my experience, it’s a lot of music that I already know I like. I don’t feel like I get much given to me that I wasn’t already aware of. With Pandora, you create stations that are based off of a specific band or song. If you are listening to a Rage Against the Machine station, you’re going to definitely hear Rage Against the Machine and then stuff that is similar. What I do is put it on shuffle for a group of selected stations and that gives me what I want.
I’m in the 23% on the American side of the chart that uses Pandora. I don’t see any reason to switch. I’ve been working on it knowing my preferences for like 20 years now.
I’d personally not worry about the yellowing. I’d say clean it up to remove actual dirt and scuffs and don’t worry about the discoloration. Yellowed electronics are peak retro. Hook it up to an old yellowed CRT monitor.
I remember being in like a GameStop or whatever the store was prior to that in my area. The tvs in the store were playing a teaser for the new Zelda game that was going to be coming out. I think this might have been like very early concept of windwaker before they went with the cartoon cell shaded style. I remember there was a sword fight between I think Link and Ganon. I remember thinking that games had peaked at that point. Of course we didn’t end up getting exactly that, but the memory remains.
I hate this, but I also want to share it with everyone.
Yes, I see this constantly just scrolling through All. It’s pretty annoying, but I just assume I was never meant to see whatever is within that post.
John Hancock does. He doesn’t exclusively do Atari, but he does cover Atari stuff. https://youtube.com/@johnhancockretro?si=TvBLLiBYTsCTeTyC
Hoopla is for library systems. We are rising up against public libraries now? I don’t understand that and Tubi being on this. They are both free.
I actually have this as well, but it’s even more of an issue as sometimes it just never seems to stick. I have watched my up votes or down votes revert back within seconds each time. I never really know it my interactions are sticking or not.
I wasn’t a fan of the old Devil May Cry anime. It was fine, just nothing noteworthy really. I’ll probably give this a shot.
The controls and camera, as with a lot of games at the time, aren’t great. I’ve played it as an adult after me and my friends being obsessed as teens. I’d guess I’m not the only one that played this game in a friend group and played the hell out of the capture the flag. I think the attraction to the game came a lot from laughing with friends. The main game has bright spots in gameplay for sure, but it can be a real chore at times too. I remember watching the single player struggle even back then.
Not sure which you are referring to, but they’ve both been around as creators on YouTube forever. They are both still actively making content. I’m not sure what memes you’re seeing, but maybe you’re just coming across communities with people that grew up watching this stuff more now. AVGN started in 2004 and Nostalgia Critic in 2007 so there’s a long history out there.
I started having the same issue this morning.
I really appreciate the help and the screen shots are helpful. Thank you very much.
You know, I didn’t realize you could block from the post. I was clicking on the bot and trying to block from the profile. Blocking from the post works. Thank you. That was my dumb. However, you also mentioned about a setting to not show bots. Is that accessible through connect or do you have to do web? I don’t see the setting.
Content can be a little sparse at times. I’d rather be light on content rather than all the posts from archival bots archiving reddit posts. That’s stuff is annoying and no one ever comments in those.
I have left some older systems on for extended periods a few times because I was either somewhere I couldn’t save and didn’t want to lose a bunch of progress, or games that didn’t have save capabilities and I had to stop playing for some reason. Other than that, they always were and still do get turned off.
