N64 games are very core/setup dependent. Nowadays I’m giving up some features, and using Mupen64 + the Parallel RDP Multithreaded RDP plugin to guarantee maximum compatibility.  That alone gets Rouge Squadron and Body Harvest (two of the most picky and tricky to emulate N64 titles) to run.  I know neither runs by…

Note quite correct here. The only limitation on DVD Ripping software is that they can’t break any copy protection. This is generally not an issue for CD/DVD based systems since most of them are unencrypted and readable by pretty much all drives. The GC/Wii is a “special” case, but a few DVD drives do have the ability…

Yes, actually.  And for those I didn’t I purchased them.  Still have most of the originals, though few of them work anymore.

Retropie is *perfectly* legal, per existing US Supreme Court precedent.  As is legally backing up games you own.  And getting (m0st) games legally isn’t that hard, given the internet is a thing.

The N64 is a PITA to emulate accurately as well. Sure, *most* games don’t care, but Factor 5's stuff, and some other notable games (Jet Force Gemini and Body Harvest are two notable ones) more or less require low level emulation, which until about a year ago even high end PCs couldn’t handle at full speed. Now that we…

Emulation != Piracy.  Nothing is stopping you from purchasing a Blu-Ray drive and ripping your own PS3 disks.

To be fair, the Cell was a beast of a CPU is you kept it fed. It was faster than the PS4/XB1 CPU by a fairly decent margin. But it was *hell* to work with, and combined with the PS3s lack of RAM really hurt the PS3's overall performance.

I know one thing you need to do is a simple fix for PCs with more then two cores; believe it’s just an ini edit.

I’ve *tried* to like Stellaris, I really have, but there are just too many issues with the AI and pop/jobs system for me to give it another look for at least a few major patches.

Camry or Corolla. Safe, cheap, good to 200k, easy to maintain, no loss if totaled.

Software engineer speaking:

It matters more for FPS titles in particular. Also keep in mind: A steady 30 FPS is relatively smooth, but jumping between 60 and 40 can be damn near impossible to deal with; FPS stability matters just as much, if not more, then actual FPS.

...I’m 99% sure there was a version of Spider Man vs. The Kingpin for the Game Gear.  Don’t see it on the list though.

Depends on the game. In Warzone specifically, the aim assist you get on controllers is INSANE. Honestly, unless you have a very finely tuned mouse setup, it is actually easier to initially lock on targets with a controller then a mouse, thanks to the aim assist. This is especially notable when you have to swivel to a…

The ACA...us not a great law.  Its "better" then what we had, but the danger in upholding the ACA is that its existence will be used to argue against fixing our broken Healthcare system.

“People dying waiting for treatment" is mostly a myth.  While OPTIONAL procedures can have extended wait times, you can schedule most critical procedures within a week or two (faster then the American system).

While the PC-Engine/TG-16 was an 8-bit console (due in part to it’s CPU just being yet another MOS 6502 derivative), it did contain two 16-bit Graphics Processors and a 16-bit memory bus. So while not as powerful as the Genesis, it could certainly still hang around. If it had released in the US anytime except for…

To be fair, I do get what they were going for with the plot of XI’s third act. And they didn’t implement it “horribly”.

But they still have the support the old switch. It’s not like they can only release for the new model.

Yeah, the formula is what it is; I’m afraid they may try and change too much and screw it up. DQ has remained true to it’s roots through the Squeenix merger, and I *really* don’t want Dragon Quest turning into “Medieval Final Fantasy”.
