>> Did anyone ever pay more than store prices for a Furby? Either you’re joking, or you absolutely didn’t live through the late 90’s to see the sheer insanity of what the Furby craze was really like. Furbies would be resold for hundr

^ You have absolutely hit the nail on the head; here. I think - Ye aside - Yeezy is a great example of how there can be a balance between this like insane run of only 1000 shoes (which only sell for like $250-350 USD retail anyway…so - ye

Came here to say this. They walked into this by creating a false economy of artificial scarcity. Just make more shoes, damnit…

Well; isn’t that why a lot of traditional ROM hacks historically (at least in the SEGA Genesis/MD hacking scene I was involved with) used savestates as rudimentary ROM hacks? EG - hasn’t it been easier to manipulate data in runtime mem

This appears to be a phenomenal document containing a lot of fascinating info on ROM hacking in general - while the document does explicitly appear to cover GBA and DS most specifically (at 300+ pages, I could only skim through it, here)

All the more reason to specify. If you're going to disappoint someone no matter what, why not include a single extra digit in your title; to avoid the issue altogether. :)

Absolutely. As a retro console homebrew dev, I was very disappointed in the article when I realized it wasn’t for the PS1/PSX. Needs a 5 in the title.

They're rumoured to be working on it: https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/mario-games-2d-nintendo-sw... There was also New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros DS which were fantastic. There's also S

Oh; wow , worst example ever. Ten minutes into that movie when Leia somehow comes back to in deep space I was ready to walk out of the theatre. It’s not an ‘overreaction’ to see The Last Jedi as a fundamentally awful film, it’s just the

It’s just silence for me on an iPhone 8, with the ringer enabled and volume to its max. :3

It could also run in its own standalone environment you could redistribute. IIRC you could even export something like an EXE and bundle the flash player with the installer.

Why Carmack was involved with Facebook/Meta when he joined was pretty confusing to me. Even if VR is pretty interesting technology to work on, where’s the joy in it if you’re effectively working for the Empire?

Mastodon has been an incredible blessing in my life. I’ve connected with some incredible people; even in real life, through it - and my server (tech.lgbt) has a feed that harkens back to the good old days of Internet forums and IRC chat gro

As a trans woman; semi-professional musician, producer; audio engineer, and for whom Stanley Kubrick is my favourite artist of any medium, Wendy Carlos is one of the single greatest inspirations of my life. I can’t personally imagine the st

Jeez, you even had to drag Rust into it. Does the downvote button have a ‘turbo’ button like a 486? Could it actually work; instead of just slowing down/buffering performance?

It’s the promises of ‘full FSD in _ years’ that were regularly spouted out that I think breaks the whole thing. They - of course - never made any _-year goal - and - arguably - who knows if they honestly ever will. They charged a lot of peo

Isn’t selling a product based off those unmet claims fraud; though? :/ It’s not the failure to realize it, it’s that the product was sold with dates it was expected to be functional to x degree by. Tesla FSD may be one of the simplest

Nope, the utility was actually called ShapeShifter: (I used to make themes for it) https://www.macintoshrepository.org/11531-shapeshifter-osx-t...

I was disappointed the .stem format never worked out. I actually had high hopes for that.

I found out about this by having a poor headphone jack connection on a cassette walkman as a kid. I would actually take that and record out from that to another tape, so I could have 'instrumental' versions of the songs. And, no -

WindowShade was amaaaazing . There was something that - for a while, was an OSX equivalent…I want to say ‘ShapeShifter’(?) - but it only worked for versions from like 10.2-10.4.

Makes sense. What if someone close to you passes away or you get COVID or something and you can't go? That money is just wasted? :/

It’s not just you; at all - in fact; if I don’t see the price immediately; online, in person; anywhere - I’m uninterested and assume either you don’t think you’ve priced your product fairly; or you feel the need to psychologically manipulat

If I’m paying for an app; and it’s not native, it usually annoys the hell out of me; I’ll gravitate towards a native option every time.

They do. Source: I work for a major bank in Canada and I know people with direct lines to people at Apple who handle this kind of thing.
