   Fun fact: CERN sells old data tapes as souvenirs, I got myself one of the old LHC tapes :)

   Nah, I was there a million years ago, and I always thought the PSX looked like crap compared to PC games of the era with their wobbly polygons and warping textures. And that is assuming that you were using SCART with a clean RGB signal, com

   QOI is cute as an experiment, but it is not a serious image format unless you work in extremely constrained environments.

   If you truly want things to work the way you want, you should develop your own OS. But if you are using software that other people provided to you for free, I think the developers also get a say in how things work. And in case you didn&#x27

   But now you are making demands on that software's developers, are you respecting them?

   Indeed. My favourite one is DOSBox Staging due to the built in CRT emulation, it gets the feeling very close to the original displays of the era.

   I am talking about playing on a real CRT with RGB support.

   I know, but the world is not only the US. Europe had SCART and pretty much every TV supported it, and Japan had RGB-21 (same connector with different pinout), but I don't know how common it was. If you have not tried your MD/Genes

   The Megadrive had native RGB output, you just needed the right cable and TV. Maybe that was not common in the US, but it was in Europe; heck, the French model ONLY had RGB output.

    I know some people who know him, and by all accounts he is also a very friendly guy, he loves attending all sort of gaming events, both within Japan and abroad.

    As usual, the video you posted mixes up how CRTs look with composite artifacts. Games played on a good quality CRT with RGB or component signals (arcade machines, PC monitors, TVs with SCART of YPbPr input) don't look nowhere as fuzzy.

    I completely agree with you. I have all three Neofid games released to date (Demons of Asteborg, Astebros, Daemon Claw) and I played them on a nice VGA Trinitron (clean and sharp RGB), and they look gorgeous, much better that most games of

    Lol no. I am a Spanish guy living in Japan, and while Japanese food is good and I surely enjoy it, their "Spanish restaurants" are a pale imitation of the original. Same for the Italian restaurants (which only cook spaghetti, as i

    I have been living in Japan for almost 8 years now, and I didn't have any allergy ever until a month ago when all of sudden it hit me like a hammer. Good god was it painful...

    For maximum demoscene impact you need a metal gradient, like the European Megadrive logo.

    It is obviously a joke, but I bought it after several visitors asked us if we didn't have a crowbar xD

    And I thought I was crazy for keeping a crowbar in the office... (I work at a particle accelerator and we need to protect ourselves for interdimensional breaches)

    The real mistake is that we are still using simple password authentication instead of challenge-response or public key authentication.

    You forgot the best one: "Coger" in Spain means "to grab", in LATAM it means "to have sex" xD

    But the Moco is only sold in Japan, and in Japanese it means "fluffy", a funny name for a car but not a huge deal. I still laugh every time I see one though, which is almost every day...

    Ares is a seriously underrated emulator. I don't use it much now that I have a MiSTer, but it is by far my favourite emulator on desktop.

    The PAL SNES just reused the curved design of the original Japanese Super Famicom. I also find it way more appealing than the US version, but I grew up in Europe, so it is the one that I saw back in the day.

    I am Spanish myself and didn't know about this fact until recently. It explains many "old-fashioned" spellings like México, Pedro Ximenez, or Don Quixote (nowadays usually written as Quijote, but you will find the old spellin

    I read the same comment several times and I don't know where you guys got that idea, but it is wrong. This is the actual text of the law, nowhere does it mentions 1000 cycles: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content&#x2

    This is wrong, the new regulation doesn't have any exceptions regarding the number of charge cycles. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A...
