No they weren’t. Infectious diseases resulted in life expectancies 40-50 years lower than now. Dying at 35 years old is not “perfectly fine”.

Does the top screen crop to the same size as the lower screen?

I would have thought these are finally a decent solution for playing games like Contra 4 and Sonic Rush, that need to seamlessly go between two screens. But if the two images don’t line up then it won’t be so nice.

Also did this with the first Monster Truck Madness and Big Red Racing. And Motocross Madness. Seems these games were just built for that. Only had demo versions though, so just the one stage to explore.

I think DS should take the final round - plays the DS and GBA library + relatively easy to emulate GBC if you really want to.

And still the only way to play some games - Contra 4, Sonic Rush for example, are horrible to play on emulator but still really fun games.

Borderlands 2 was fun, but Borderlands 1 is the game I replay.

The movies depict actual AI. That is, machines/software that is sentient and can think and act for itself.

The future is going to be more of the shit we have now- LLMs / “guessing software”.

But also, why ask the question if you think the answer can’t be given yet?

Just keeping in mind that Mesen is a cycle accurate emulator (last time I checked it was the most accurate). So the ideal solution here would have been to install Mesen.

It was popular in Australia too.

Going to the video store and looking through the racks full of the checkerboard master system boxes for a game to hire. Ghouls n Ghosts, Altered Beast, Penguin Land, Ghost House, Golvellius, Aztec Adventure, Fantasy Zone 2 come to mind.

Watching mum and dad play My Hero for hours, trying to get just a little bit further.

Getting hit by a car whilst taking a game back to the video store. (Not the most magical memory but I can’t think of master system without that)

Finally having double Dragon at home. Throwing the sega box at the second level boss. Years later finding out that the arcade and mega drive versions are unplayable due to slowdown, and deeming the master system version as the best.

My aunty buying me Transbot from the discount bin in Boxing Day sales.

Waking up from a nightmare and being comforted watching mum and dad getting up to the Mouse Man dungeon in wonder boy 3.

Sundays watching my dad and his mate playing Golfamania sessions, drinking and smoking weed and listening to Van Morrison, when they weren’t up to going to the local golf course. (Later it was pga tour 2 on mega drive)

Finding a copy of Action Fighter and Fantasy Zone The Maze from some random person at the local market.

Coming home from school one day to find mum had hired Teddy Boy from the video store. What a game. I don’t go back to it because it’s so lame in retrospect, just stick with this memory of it being mind blowing awesome.

The first time I could play well enough to get to the end of the first stage in Miracle World and seeing that burger waiting for me. Going inside the Octopus’ pot (?) to take the secret shortcut in Alex Kidd.

So many Alex Kidd things really. The dinosaur level in Lost Stars, so exciting for some reason. Swimming under the tentacles in the water level. The ninja forest stages in Hi Tech World. Shinobi World in general, me, my brother and our cousins being like “it’s Shinobi, but it’s Alex Kidd :O” while eating cordial ice blocks in the middle of summer.

Getting Ghostbusters for $2 because the video store was trying to get rid if all their master system games and no one wanted the old junk. Loving that game so much I drew a picture of the driving stage on the blackboard at school before class.

When I got Castle of Illusion for Christmas right before we moved away after my first year at school, and mum and dad let me stay up playing it until I fell asleep.

The very last game we hired before we got a mega drive, and the first time I ever saw him, Sonic the Hedgehog. The same day dad bought home a kitten that I looked after until I left home. That was a good day.

Records and books mostly. But I just moved my CDs out of my storage space.

Your response to someone who doesn’t understand boundaries (have you set those boundaries with them or just expect them to know?) is to be a jerkoff? Laughing at yourself isn’t your biggest worry here. Re-visit this whole thing from the start.

The Master System version is a fun time for a while and improves on the c64. The NES version though seems to have no redeeming factors.

Deus Ex main menu

Me and my brother used to play this on c64. But just two player fighting each other. We didn’t even know there was more gameplay to it until we were older 😔

And…

Learn the car you’re driving. There’s so many different makes, models, sizes, engines, brakes, transmission, tires. Just because you can do something in one car don’t mean you can drive another car the same way.

Like no longer thinking Bio Dome is comedy genius

The IT Crowd is a show about a group of fools getting into ridiculous situations at work. It’s a good laugh and has some classic moments. My partner doesn’t make or get tv/movie references, but even she can drop references from it into casual conversation.

Big Bang Theory is a bland comedy that wants to be much more than it is - relationship drama, social exploratory, situational comedy. But it tends to fail 90% of the time, and the closer it gets to ‘relationship drama’ the more grating it gets.

Absolutely this. Clicked on it because I thought it was Void Linux, lost interest immediately because it was confusingly not that.

It’s not open source. I was saying, if you must use chrome based browsers, suck it up and use non-OSS, because Brave is just awful in so many ways.

Not necessarily. With the awful things about Brave, if I need a chromium based browser I’ll absolutely go non-OSS and use Vivaldi. It’s a million miles better, and it’s not worth supporting Brave just to say you’re still using an open source browser.
