That’s the fun part. They come preinstalled!

Reminds me of the old Debian OpenSSL vulnerability that went unnoticed for 2 years… but it did eventually get noticed.

The most I’ve heard is “They aren’t as bad as the sequels”

I’ve always wanted to contribute to The Cutting Room Floor wiki but they hide registration behind a Discord server bot that will give the registration code.

It’s a shame that both AMD and Nvidia chose to abandon the sub-$250 market. I think I’ve mentioned before that I searched and searched for an affordable video card, only to land on stuff that was generations behind. So I ended up with an A580. Only complaint I have so far is that LXDE absolutely hated the card and wouldn’t even boot in VESA compatible mode. But that’s more a complaint on Debian’s glacial pace than Intel.

Yeah, that’s kind of why I asked. Gamestop propped up their numbers by bundling the magazine with their discount card. Game Informer wasn’t selling on it’s own merits, so I think the chance of it rallying with it’s old staff is slim.

EDIT: removed the random Apple tangent

so is this an Atari situation where the name is being used but everybody behind it is different?

My library also offers a membership with Flipster (magazines).

Doesn’t work on Nintendo, for some reason. Mario Tax expanded to anything first or second party, so the best you’ll see is $20 off new price on Mar10 for the games that came out 5 years ago. It’s like every retailer came to the agreement that Nintendo games don’t depreciate.

I hate timers on games that give you little guidance. People claim that Fallout 1’s timer is too lenient, but I ended up replaying (and failing) the game twice and still not coming close to finding the water chip. Also, the game constantly reminds you “We’re all dying, hurry up! Every minute you take is an other life lost!”. Same reason I dislike Lightning Returns.

Everytime this game got ported, I’d retry it. I’d get over the bridge, get into town, fight the pirates, earn the boat… and get completely lost.

I wonder how this compares to OpenShot.

I use OpenShot to trim stuff that LosslessCut can’t properly manage, but whenever I use OpenShot I seem to crash it at least once.

you made me picture a Back to the Future remake with a Tesla Truck as the time machine…

What Monkey’s Paw curse did I just trigger?

I sooo want to play the crappy Armored Core mobile games, but they seem lost to time.

I always thought UHD used a different laser than standard blu-ray, but only just found out it was a trick of h265 encoding and triple layer discs.

Based on the mini-BD format, assuming triple layer, the upper limit would have been around 24GB.

Now you’ve got me curious what capacity a UMD form factor could achieve with a UHD Blu-ray laser.

Yes/No. Both Sony and Microsoft have quality control processes to ensure that whatever is published is going to play on first entry of the disc.

That said, publishers use A LOT of workarounds. Day 1 patches to “finish” the game. Download code inserts. And as of recent, mandatory online server check-ins. As far as I’m aware, Nintendo is the only one who allows publishing half the product with required download.

I’m afraid to find out how many people are still downloading OpenOffice, thinking it’s the same software they heard about back in 2010.
