One consideration regarding dark mode vs battery life : The battery saving benefits of dark mode only apply to the newer model’s OLED screen... Juust on the off chance that anyone happens to be the proud new owner of the older, predecessing model (the one with the LCD display).

Besides putting a 1050 in about 2 years ago, I still have the same build from 2012!
^This. Despite the nostalgia and excitement that I feel whenever hearing any news or rumours about N64-related stuff, the train of thought is usually along the lines of : “I love N64! Ocarina of Time.... Majora’s Mask..... and, um....hmmm.”
Donkey Kong 94? I was enamoured with that game’s beautiful coloured Super Game Boy screen shots from a magazine review from the same year, long before eventually playing it.
As an Aussie, currently the AUD isn’t as far off from USD as it had been in recent years, but I’d still be spending at least AUD$600 for this, factoring in postage as well.
I still remember some 30 years ago going into a 2nd hand store (or what they call a Pawn shop in USA). There was a wire basket bin full of dozens of Game and Watches, selling for a few bucks each. If only I knew...
I once had a similar effect with Solitaire, and it was a very brief but unsettling experience.
Meanwhile, elsewhere : The situation in South Africa.
Burnout Paradise was overly saturated bloomy visual trash... I bought it when it had just been released, played it twice then traded it in for a Nintendo DS game.
You just reminded me of an old MS-DOS game called Pack Rat. I probably haven’t even thought about that game for over 20 years!
Each to their own. I like retro-era graphics in modern games (if done tastefully)...
You just reminded me of my GameCube. Last year I was watching a YT vid (possibly on Metal Jesus Rocks’ channel?) , about the extra digital AV output port which only existed on the earlier batch of GC consoles - It was removed in later production runs.
Make or contribute to an indie game and lay the path for the representation that you seek.
There is one way to improve opportunity for everyone and help mitigate / alleviate any suspicion or risk of possible discrimination, no matter how conscious or subconscious such discrimination may be : Have candidates apply to a dev team with a portfolio of sorts under a pseudonym or completely anonymously. Interview…
You know what? I miss the days when the video games industry wasn’t so politicised. When games themselves were mostly so basic that the human characters were broad templates that us as the human player were left to fill in the blanks with our own imaginations.
Or you could just, you know, hit the mute button...
How things change... Once upon a time, teenage Prince William was the heart-throb crush of many a teen / tween girl (At least he was here in Australia), featuring on most magazine covers for that demographic. His popularity was rivalled only by the likes of JTT and Taylor Hansen.
That’s very racist of you! Bautista is half Philipinnes heritage.
It’d be kinda apt to see someone partake in skeleton bobsledding, whilst wearing such attire.
I’m still holding out hope for that speculated possible back catalogue re-release, especially pre-Squeenix merger - E.g. the Soulblazer/IoT/Terranigma trilogy from SNES.
