i really miss gamefaqs style guides to be honest. these days most everything a video with a bunch of ads and stupid voiceovers and it's impossible to find the actual bit you care about. i just want to go to the section for "level seven" and read what i'm supposed to do. dont get me wrong, text with ample screenshots is way better than text alone, but i'll take text-only with sick ascii art over lovely videos any day

steam guides are a nice in between when they actually have something
i still head to gamefaqs first

its kindof annoying when say a forum has external links open in the same tab/window by default (ie no href target="_new" or whatever its called) so you have to remember to do that yourself. it would suck if you always had to do it

javascript windows can gently caress right off though

always middle click all links

if you can handle switching where the a button is on nintendo's controllers vs everywhere else, you can handle the analog stick being in a slightly different location

The last optical drive I got was probably around 2016 or so, I used it to install Windows and relevant drivers and have never touched a disc since.

Weren't people up in arms recently because there was finally a tech gap so they couldn't keep transferring the pokemon they'd been using since their OG red and blue carts in whatever the latest game was

the current thing was transferring off of the ds requires an app that you can't get legally anymore now that the store is closed
physical red/blue and gold/silver carts are stuck with each other, you can only transfer off of the virtual console versions to the new games

On the subject of stupid computer tricks, the X-Men game for Sega Genesis told you at a certain point to "reset the computer," but required you to press the physical reset button on your console. I'm honestly curious whether the reset button actually (briefly) generated an interrupt of some kind that they hooked into, or they discovered some quirk of the manufacturing that could be detected at run time before the reset fully happened.

i believe the early genesis consoles generated an interrupt and the console resets were software based for awhile

I've never really understood what all those things do. Like route the audio streams to the right speakers? Why are they so big? My phone also plays stereo sound

they make it so you can hear the dialog in films and tv shows if you aren't too old yet
