Not at all. The Wiimote didn’t see anything on the screen. It tracked position in space using accelerometers, and detected two infra-red light sources from the poorly-named “sensor bar” to stay oriented.

Yeah, it’s really just an artifact of the way the game creates and spools out stages. If anything, it happens because there was nowhere else to store a “hidden depository of data” and the programmers needed to be super-efficient in managing space. The whole game takes up 32 kB, which is insane.

Mine was only secretly gaming-related.

I’m put off by the lack of an internal battery and the lack of HD rumble to match the right side. I’m sure it gets the job done, but it seems like they tried to get it to market as cheap as possible with too much compromise.

I can only figure that Scott Adams deliberately set about proving his own theory by positioning himself as such a prominent idiot.

It would break the internet for about ten minutes until the fanbase starts bitching about some other character they want to see in the game.

I liked it (enough to 100% it), but didn’t love it.

I generally agree, and I’m a pretty big fan of 8BitDo’s offerings.

Eeeeeeh... I mean, I love Nintendo, and I certainly love the Switch.

Zelda Picross was such a promising start for the My Nintendo program, but Nintendo just never really followed up with anything of substance.

I’d echo the others. The GCN controller is great, but this obsession with it for SSB is mostly nostalgia for Melee. You’ll play equivalently well with either option. And I’d even argue that the Pro Controller’s triggers are better since SSB doesn’t benefit from analog triggers and the extra travel distance on the GCN t…

I’ve been on an insane retro kick lately. Always happy to nudge someone else the same way ;)

I think the idea that food needs to have specific nutritional justification is pretty faulty. There’s nothing wrong with just liking the texture that lettuce brings to a salad, sandwich, or whatever else you happen to be doing with it. 

If you have a Genesis and any interest in messing around with Master System games, it can play them natively.

It may take a bit of experimentation to find out what things work better than others, but I think you’ll quickly find that most things do better in the freezer than you think.

No matter how many times I’ve come across it today, I am incapable of reading this headline correctly the first time:

Let us never forget the waxed canvas shortage of 2018, or those who were forced to resort to nylon in its cruel wake.

The problem with “buy low and sell high” is that nobody can predict what the highs and lows will be, and anybody who tells you otherwise is either lying or foolish. You can think you’re buying low, and then it goes lower. Or that you’re selling high, and then it spikes higher.

This is a real shame. I absolutely love my Steam Link, and it largely made my PS4 irrelevant after I got one two summers ago.

Different strokes. Uncharted 4 made me swear off that series entirely because I thought it was so inferior to Rise of the Tomb Raider.
