This is such bad news. I’m sympathetic to content creators who have to step on eggshells to please the algorithm/advertisers… But this?

Yeah, this is not that. We all know who this is for.

That’s the fun part. They come preinstalled!

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.

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’m curious, did you dig around the BIOS/UEFI to see if there are any ACPI power states that can be disabled?

I had a very similar issue and turning off S3 worked around it. Of course, that meant higher power usage during sleep but it was a compromise over buying new hardware.

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.

not my words. It’s the Valve dev who said it.

Funny, I just saw an article saying don’t get too excited about Linux gaming boosts because apparently Wine doesn’t use ntsync yet, and Valve already worked around ntsync by implementing the faster fsync in SteamOS.

Full replacement. It virtualizes the memory card as an image on the SD card. That lets you create whatever size you want, and cycle through them as well.

IIRC the second version allows you to manage it via WiFi.

if you are looking at previously owned stuff… Don’t touch any of the third party memory cards. Look for official Sony 8MB MagicGate cards.

If you’re looking for modern solutions, go with a MemCard PRO which should allow you to save your games to SD cards. Then you can backup the SD card wherever you want.

FPGA console gets announced, guy behind the project is kinda weird, multiple demonstration videos are cheaply faked, project scales back, guy is actually really weird, more fake demos, SEGA shuts down the project, people charge back their pre-orders, guy turns to alcohol and does a bunch of drunk interviews/voicemails, and then he doxes his supporters while trying to prove he didn’t commit fraud.

I really suggest you watch it though.

The whole video is wild. I had a huge paragraph written, but decided to delete it because whatever I write doesn’t do justice to how bizarre the whole interaction is/was.

Count me as one who was skeptical but otherwise onboard with buying a Dreamcast FPGA. Glad I didn’t put money down.

exactly. Thank you.

Back in 2012 an affordable $40 flash drive was 1GB. Now $40 gets you a 512GB.

$90 would have netted you a 2GB full-size SD card. Now you get a 1TB MicroSD with adapter

$80 would get you 1TB in spinning rust in 2012… now, with $80 you get… 1TB or if you stretch the budget a little, 2TB. But what if you own a bunch of games like Ark Survival Evolved that take up 435GB of space? Shell out $649

Back when I bought the 1TB, I installed the entire steam library I owned onto it. Now I can’t get more than 6-7 new titles installed. I’m ignoring how insanely fast drives have gotten over the years, but my complaint is storage.

EDIT: For the sake of comparison outside my complaint of SSD sizing, spinning rust at $80 today is just 4TB at a lower 5400rpm instead of 7200rpm.

fair point, even the MicroSD market would target the mobile user and not so much a desktop.

One step above what I had back in 2012? What exactly does that say about progress in capacity?
