To clarify: Blue Burst was actually the PC port. [0] I put alot of time into that one, once an English patch became available on Schtserv. They made a bunch of the perks/models available to everyone that were previously only availabl

Reiko Kodama did some incredible work for Sega, Skies of Arcadia probably being her most notable after Phantasy Star. She unfortunately passed away in 2022, and it took some months before anyone was even aware of it due to her family's

There used to be more on this page, if memory serves. Like I remember grabbing one of these books on Programming Assembly for the 6502 chip maybe 5 or 10 years ago, but I'm not seeing it now.

I mean, LastPass was a train wreck after their breach, but they didn't go as far as trying to stop me from exporting my vault when I switched to BW. The idea of BW doing a rug pull and suddenly removing the ability to export your vault

I'm still using uMatrix in Firefox. I just find the UI at once both more granular and easier to grok than uB0's Advanced mode. Despite being deprecated, it still works. Unfortunately, I'll probably have to drop it soon, becau

It will start with subpoenaing this information against people who modified their car to do "bad" things. But once they have the precedent, I would predict that it will very quickly be used at the behest of car manufacturers to go

I guess JWZ has some sort of referral check that instantly black-holes any traffic coming from HN? And interestingly, the WayBackMachine snapshots are similarly boobytrapped: https://web.archive.org/web/20260115112314&#

Yeah, okay, "market conditions", RAM more expensive, hardware more expensive, fine... But then why are they also increasing the price of their online services? The games run locally! Fuck you, Nintendo.

It's understandable that they went in this direction. Higan/bsnes has already captured the market for "accuracy" on the SNES emulator front, so this is more going off and doing its own thing rather than re-treading fami
