Because they’re cute and fun and we enjoy them? Do we need a better reason?

yep, there was DOOM on SNES, DOOM64 on N64, and DOOM/DOOM2 on GBA.

Acquisitions Incorporated did a live session from ToA at PAX just recently, where they got to do the dinosaur race in classic AI fashion. It was pretty crazy.

I actually use my left index finger to type Bs. Of course, I’m not particularly qualified to speak on the subject, given that I also press Y with my left index finger...

“Power Delivery” is the key term here. By that we don’t mean “delivery of power”, but rather, the actual USB Power Delivery specification which allows devices to charge at nearly 3x the rate of plain USB.

MilSim is definitely an interesting experience that everyone into airsoft should try at least once, but speedsoft is totally where it’s at when it comes to straight-up shooting action and sheer fun. When I played frequently, I usually attended one MilSim event every year, and otherwise was hitting up smaller fields…

Airsoft is so goddamned fun. I haven’t had much time to play in the past year or two but I’ve been dying to get back into it. The field these guys are playing in looks fun as hell too; so well-built.

Fair enough! Reading your comment again, I really don’t know how I didn’t catch the sarcasm.

it really doesn’t. This MIGHT just barely balance out the seemingly artificial scarcity of the classic console models, but it would take far more to make up for how hostile Nintendo has been toward fan projects.

Anything that’s always on adds to battery drain, yes, but not necessarily enough to measurably impact battery life. Accelerometers and gyroscopes have effectively zero battery drain — 11 *micro*amps on the most common accelerometer sold on digikey at the moment — and there can be absolutely no complaint about that…

I grew up in the 90s, and I remain firmly in the camp that the current modern style is far superior. The 90s over-exaggerated style just looks comical; I have a hard time watching some older shows now after coming to like the softer, less exaggerated, post-2010 styles.

His tone reads to me like someone who is fed up with the recent trends in social overprotectiveness, and is falling back on coarse language as a venting mechanism, rather than intending to bully or insisting people be bullies to each other. I can see why you’d say that though; I just still don’t know that I’d…

You’re kinda putting words in his mouth there. He’s saying that, yeah, the world is a shitty place, and no matter how much we all try to be less shitty, there’s still a lot of shitty world out there. That will also probably never change.

shit, I’m a fan of Yaya Hinata’s work and I can’t believe I haven’t seen this one before. D=

device capabilities are kept to an absolute minimum, because Nintendo are super paranoid and want to minimize the attack surface to prevent us from breaking open the switch like we did their last four consoles. That’s why there’s no web browser, no save manager, and why the image viewer refuses to open images the…

At the time, I think that kind of content was so out of left field for Kotaku that people didn’t really see it coming. So it just came across as them featuring some guy who posted a lot of pretentious mean-spirited walls of text, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen kotaku’s comment section get quote that full of rage. It…

It still messes with me whenever I see your name. There was a dude that kotaku had as an occasional guest writer aaaaages ago that had a similar-sounding name (which I don’t recall now), who was a total pretentious-ass d-bag who wrote long-winded culture articles, and nobody liked him. Now, seemingly every time I see…

I doubt most crooks are breaking in through the front door anyway. With the right tools, or in the right location, anyone can get into a fully-locked house without drawing attention to themselves.

either way, windows exist. the front door isn’t the only option (or even the first option) for a would-be thief.
