I still miss my Xperia Play. It’s been over 10 years… Still my favorite phone.

*yawn*

That looks like it would give me at least 25 hp when I pick it up.

I appreciate how sleek the Mega Drive model 2 looks. Without any of the life support modules, of course.

Any source on that mac claim? I’ve not seen any proof of that at all.

(Edit: To clarify, I know people are saying they use MacOS here, but I don’t think the claim that most tech people in corporate settings use MacOS to be true. I only have my personal experience in a very large corporate environment, and am asking for information as every team I’ve worked with was using Windows.)

I always got the impression it wasn’t a learning AI but rather a very limited “Has the player pressed the run button? if YES: AI can use run next cycle”

Did they comment on why it was deleted? I didn’t see anything in the article. I recall the consensus was that they made so many mistakes the only way to fix it was deletion of the repo.

I also saw in one of the comments of the Arstechnica article that the one who pushed for open-source wanted to clean up the code before publishing. Management said no, the entire team got fired/left, and suddenly the code got published with all that commercial stuff left in. Sounds about right.

I thought he announced his retirement last year? or was that one of those “one more project and then I’m done” kind of announcements

I know a few services that would ban a user doing that, thinking that the client is compromised.

This is the one that got me when I was younger:

Turns out its a platform puzzle game with no attack button. Enemies can only be defeated by pushing blocks onto them.

Oddly enough, I ended up buying Shadow Dancer specifically because the cover was so bizarre.

An old man with a bat protects a young woman from a plate armored man attacking both of them with a longsword, as a scared dog flees into a burning city in the distance.

Yikes. I’m here for a civil discussion, so if you don’t want to discuss this with me and instead just want to attack me because you think I’m on the opposing team… well, I guess that’s what the block list is for.

I wish you luck in life.

It’s not an excuse though. It’s right there in the error message.

Where are people getting the impression I think google is some kind of saint who can do no wrong? I don’t even see the “proof” that is being used to say I’m coming to google’s defense. Just a few anecdotal theories… just like I provided.

Bot can automate views. It’s why Youtube keeps trying to move towards “engagement”. Comments, likes, etc, all require an account, which is an extra hurdle for bots.

uhhh… what?

Youtube does a ton of evil stuff, but this one is more tame. I suspect the VPN was used to bot and got banned, so the sign-in is required to better target where the traffic is allowed to go, instead of blanket banning everybody using the service.

Two questions:

Are you connecting via USB or Bluetooth?

Do you have a toggle anywhere to put the device into XInput mode?

My #1 gaming desire is a PSP consolizer. My 3000 unit has a dead UMD, and my 2000 is failing. I just want a clean HDMI out to my TV without the tangled wires. I always manage to pull the power out while playing.

The granddaddy, Story of Seasons, as well.

I know I’m not the target audience when I accidentally blitzed through most of the content for Pioneers of Olive Town in 2 seasons.

I thought it was trivial to circumvent but difficult to duplicate?

Last I recall (though I admit this was years ago) the wobble groove can’t be burned and has to be pressed into the disc… which is why despite it being nearly 30 years old now, you still have to modchip to play anything unofficial.
