Really insightful, much appreciated! Snatcher is a unique game, and well worth it for anyone to play on SEGA CD if you don’t know Japanese. It has a surprisingly excellent English VO (even more excellent when you consider the time period), and while the SEGA CD soundtrack isn’t as rad as the PC Engine’s, it still…

That’s how it’s written on the title screen, yes.

Choosing not to be in a union and getting work because you don’t subscribe to that doesn’t make you a scab, it makes you an employee. The very concept of a ‘scab’ is as antiquated as unions themselves. Work is work, and everyone deserves it, period. You’re not a less talented actor if you choose to take your career…

It is (typically) a worker of any field’s (particularly creative work) choice whether or not they want to be in a union. There are a myriad of reasons why one might not want to join one and it’s pretty gross that the general consensus is to look down upon, and vilify talented workers who choose not to unionize. It’s…

Hey, you tried.

Playstation Home was a horrendous failure, it was really, really bad. You didn’t miss anything, I swear. It was next to impossible to create an avatar that looked like you, sometimes too many customization options for bone structure, etc is a bad thing. Also Home in general had no purpose whatsoever except…

Some of us are still really, really upset that it no longer exists.

“I disagree with someone’s politics so they deserve to get shot, also we need more gun control!!!!!!!”

You really are.

“B-but my Sony wouldn’t do something anti-consumer!!!!!!”

Hate to break it to you, but all of those dudebros are on the PS4 now. Sony and Microsoft literally switched places, if you think the PS4 isn’t the FIFA and COD box of choice for dudebros the world over, you’re delusional.

“God forbid one of you peasants tries to tell me something I believe is an undisputed fact is actually completely, undeniably subjective.”

Because you’re playing those PC games on Microsoft Windows? Does this really not occur to anyone? PC Gaming is a Microsoft dominated platform, they win either way. Every single PC gamer is already in bed with Microsoft, they’re not losing anything by offering their exclusives on Windows 10.

You’re still gaming on Microsoft software and still in their ecosystem, so I’m sure they’re perfectly happy with that. Every ‘PC Gamer’ is already a Microsoft fan-boy whether they like it or not.

To be fair, they took all of the complaints to heart, and never implemented any of the things people hated pre-launch to begin with. Since then they’ve fixed the UI, they fixed the console itself, they’ve added backwards compatibility for free (more of my 360 games just appear every few weeks, it’s amazing), you can…

Here we go again, blaming a console-manufacturer for your country’s weak dollar. Microsoft can’t control your economy.

It’s actually kind of a big deal for racing fans. EA has basically been holding the Porsche license hostage and not doing anything with it for years, limiting the number of Porches in any other racing games. The fact that they’re now partnered with Microsoft for Forza is very cool if you’re into that scene. The car…

Any Famiclone from eBay or Amazon for <$20 will do composite and look great on a CRT. That said, you can get a real Famicom or NES for like, $30.

Damp cloth, rubbing alcohol, do not use solvevents like acetone. They’re tanks.I would take it apart and blast the dust out too, maybe get a ‘Blinking Light Win’ replacement for the cartridge connector which is likely to be on the fritz, as they almost all are.

That’s pretty much correct. Even the FPGA clones aren’t 100% accurate, because afaik, the NES CPU/PPU has never been decapped and fully documented. It’s all subjective really. I just use an AV Famicom with composite on a 13" SONY CRT I got at the goodwill. It’s also worth mentioning that the NES/Famicom is literally…
