I run 16 Bit Virtual Studios. You can find more reviews from me on YouTube youtube.com/@16bitvirtual or other social media @16bitvirtual, and we sell our 3D Printed stuff on 16bitstore.com

Nah, not much of an achievement hunter. And filling in the map in GBC Zelda usually gets you most of the secrets.

"Vita means life"

Not that Sony game it any chance

A lot of ubisoft and ea single player games since they don't need uplay

Case in point Assassins Creed Black flag which requires a login at the start of search session, runs flawlessly on CEMU

Had a Vita 1000 since launch (got the first edition bundle). Then years later I got a Vita2SD which destroyed the card reader (my mistake). So I got this JP Vita 2000 since I wanted one in Blue and the Vita 2000 is pricey.

Retroarch is a wonderful tool to play older games on whatever you have, though it's a lot of work, the effort to get a device like a GBxCart or to hack a 3DS to get the ROMs is worth playing.

Personally I miss small form factor systems like the Vita, and hope that there will be a Steam Deck Lite one day that is pocketable.

Got seasons when it was on 3DS VC and beat that a while ago. Love the password progress thingy.

It's a PS Vita 2000, Sony's "Budget" Vita.

I've tried it, but honestly when I started this session of Ages I didn't care. Might do it when replaying Seasons thou.

Mostly the sub $5 games since if I don't play it, its fine. Like Celeste

Oldest system, by release year its my Hong Kong 6 Switch Atari 2600. Local guy was selling it and it was in immaculate condition. Dust cover on the system, with boxed games.

At the time I was selling games and systems, so I kept the system and 2 games for myself. Don't use it much since its a 2600, but I have it on my shelf.

Oldest system I own is my GBC, had it since before my youngest sibling was born and I still have it today. Obviously doesn't get much use since GBA SP, but I still keep it around.

I too install Linux Mint, though Fedora Silverblue and Kinote is another good alternative.

I get and like HDCP. Mostly because of how easy it can be to bypass. I'd rather have a universal "we tried" standard, than an honest attempt to stop this. With today's tech and online focused DRM, HDCP could be a lot worse, and I am happy where it is right now.

Like Adobe Digital Editions or Kindle for eBook DRM.

Good video, though I feel that it just ended abruptly, almost as if they had more to say.

Reddit did stop the protest and after a month, Reddit was back to business as usual. With that said, due to the protest I got exposed to Lemmy, Mastadon and the Fediverse. And if you are a company, the last thing you want to do, is expose your customers to competition.

From a personal note, outside of a few niche communities I am subbed to on Reddit, like /r/vita. I've noticed a decline in quality in the posts, and outside of these small communities discussions are far and few between as well. Lemmy I've found is a lot more active, and I am interacting with it more.

For those wondering if this is under exaggerated, it's not. Now my experience is on the Switch.

This issues I saw in my time before I got refunded was as follow. Texture Flickering and Shadow Flickering (hard to see as a screen shot so this is the worse I saw)

Textures that are still in 4:3 and not 16:9

Random Texture floating when they shouldn't be

The lighting failing on the Bridges on the Naboo Map

And the FMV's being so compressed you can see the compression artifacting (and this is a game that ~34GB)

Alright, what this looks like is Sony's deal with Discovery to sell and host their TV shows has been removed. From my quick glance there are no games being removed.

Still is BS, and beyond ridiculous. But it was inevitably going to happen at some point.

I am more pissed that I got informed that they are doing this from here instead of being told that I am losing my Myth Busters.

This is a Tesla right? Those door handles are electric, so you need to hope the cars electrics hold and not short. Or you can find the emergency release in the door pocket.

Not the person you asked, but honestly it's the most useless button on the controller. I hit it by accident, and want the menu to go away quicker than it took to load in.

Thank you Humble bundle for inflating the value for my account

  1. cuz my pc had a spot for a floppy drive.

  2. have a few old pcs laying around which makes my life easier to have.

It has a internal usb to floppy drive adapter so everything works

As everyone else is saying the issue is that priacy is easier.

That said if you have a HDMI recorder and a HDMI splitter (1 in 2 out) you can strip HDCP and record the signal.

With that said there are some fruity USB c tablets which will get you better results. Droid tablets can work too if you are OK with gui

This is on iOS. There is no Firefox (geko) or Chromium, there is only skins of Safari so your point is moot. For now.

Because it was 2009, I was I kid, and I saw Mythbusters and I said yes. I learnt my lesson when they remove PlayStation Video years ago from PS3, and the PSP. I didn't even know I could re-download it until I stumbled upon it in a menu years later.

I am just hoping and praying that this will not extend to their games. Sony's been pretty good about game ownership to this point, look at those who bought the PT Demo and can still play it.

Not sure about others, but I don't distribute the content I record or backup, outside of an offsite backup. For me my biggest concern is getting a clean copy for myself, and with certain fruity tablets and a mirrored screen it's good source to record from for my needs.

I wonder how much of that is people just adding reddit to the end of their search query

No name brand, if you find one that looks like it, it'll work. Typical search terms are "hdmi splitter 1 in 2 out", any with EDI switches are busts, like the one from UGREEN.

EDIT Also avoid any with buttons, this is a HDMI duplicator, as in 1 signal goes in, that signal get duplicated and sent out both ports. The ones with buttons switches inputs, so 1 HDMI in 1 HDMI out, the button just chooses which HDMI is being used. Great for monitors with only 1 HDMI input.

FreeCAD. All the CAD you need without the subscription and blocked off features.

stupid was when I wanted to test Linux Mint on an external SSD, and didn't check that the bootloader wasn't going to overwrite my internal drive's.

So anyway I'm running Linux Mint now.

$500 for a Krabby Patty?

With cheese Mr. Squidward, with cheese.

It’s like al KDE projects IMHO. Good on the surface and works well. But use it for any length of time and you will find problems, unfinished areas, or parts where it was implemented without considering why it was like this in the first place.

For example, plug your 1080p laptop into a display with 4K and watch are your desktop icon gets sorted by a-z randomly instead of keeping the order you had it.

Or try to add a calendar even to your system by clicking the calendar which is found in the date and time on the taskbar.

Online accounts added to the system do not integrate into other KDE apps requiring additional signin.

I feel this is probably caused from KDE’s team being small, but having a large suite of apps.

Couldn't you just install ubisoft connect and their subsequent games with Lutris? And add them to steam via Lutris.

That's what I'm doing on my Arch install.

This is just my two cents from last time with no real facts to back it.

Voat died because it was mostly a place to hate on Reddit. And while there is a lot of Reddit hating still going on here, its died down a lot.

I feel the survival of any platform is for it to not be a one trick pony. And I feel this is starting to go in that direction. But only time can tell if it keeps going.

It did and it went by so fast I couldn't take a pic.

There are dozens of us.

I replayed it after many years. It was fantastic, now I need to wait another many years to forget the solution.

Ah I was confusing the front and rear doors. From this video it looks like it's in the door arm rests, while the rear door is burred in the rear door pocket under a flap. Both appear to operate the latch manually so no electricity required.

Well there wasn't much to say. Other than importing videos requires you to extract the audio first in pcm/mp3 or making a new container. The editing experience is the same for my use case.

I experienced no hick ups before resolve made me wait a week before I can use it again. The only issue I have is that there is no Title Bar so closing and minimizing resovle isn't straight forward.

Edit: I was more preoccupied with whether or not Resolve would boot.

So if there was anything specific you'd like to know I can check it out and report back.

If you're still considering it, you can get it for like $10-$15 on GOG. Same price of steam but DRM Free, and it's almost always onsale.

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

When looking at the generational shifts between console gens. The PlayStation 5 didn't fix any problems the industry was having. Especially when you compare the jump in quality between PS2/Xbox and PS3/360, where rendering individual fingers didn't bring the games performance to a halt. Or the PS3/360 to the PS4/Xbone, where the consoles were given a usable amount of RAM that the devs needed from 256/512 respectively to 8GB on both.

But other than a slight performance boost and the new GPU buzzword "Ray Tracing" slapped on these systems. They cost more than the older systems did, and don't offer any new experience which the previous gen systems do.

But don't you know. They put a do not copy sticker on the disc. That means that you super Dooper can't copy this disc or you'll be in trouble.
