When I was a kid, pre-internet, my dad took me to the local library and checked out some books that explained how an engine works. These animations are so much better than what I had!

Two thoughts: 1: This is why I prefer console games. I just want to have fun without fighting with the machine. 2: There are plenty of people who appreciate old techniques and methods; and keep them alive. Think of going to a museum and s

I've been using MacOS for 20 years and I haven't encountered it. I rarely reboot. Do you have some unusual hardware that requires a driver, or otherwise install something that requires a driver?

Every time I see criticism of MacOS Tahoe, it just makes me suspect that someone without experience went on an ego trip. That being said, should I skip Tahoe and wait for whatever comes next? MacOS keeps nagging me to upgrade to Tahoe, but

Honestly, it's worth trying the Sega app on Switch / Switch 2. The games look and play great, you can save at any time, and you can "rewind" if a game gets a little too hard. The wireless controllers are also great too.

Honestly, I think old games look best on modern TVs with an HDMI cable and no attempt to interlace / emulate the CRT.

As the other reply mentions, the connector was used for the disk system in Japan. Nintendo didn't like it because of piracy and reliability issues; and then finally memory mappers rendered it obsolete. The disk system had a much more p

I think you're missing the point. Limiting the number of PRs, but not counting draft PRs, just means the SPAM PRs will all be drafts. This solves (almost) nothing. > Or using it correctly... Note that people using AI to make spam pu
