Most likely an aspect ratio issue. the PS1 and PS2 were designed with 4:3 televisions in mind. The PS mini was released after most displays had switched to a 16:9 aspect ratio. Only options to properly display the games was to either a: stretch the game to fill the screen, causing image...

Looks like the embed is locked behind an instagram login.

Microsoft will sell it to another company to run. Same thing they did to the Asheron's Call games.

Not to dig traffic tunnels, to build a pneumatic rail system using newer tech than the failed one built in the late 19th century and based on a proposal by a bunch of engineering students who didn't have much experience ACTUALLY designing things. Turns out it STILL doesn't work, so he switched...

I believe there are some federal statutes that REQUIRE an ID issued in ANY state to be valid in ANY other state. Yet another waste of Florida taxpayer money when this inevitably ends up in court and ruled unenforceable.

Increased ram and storage space DID allow for more complicated level design during the transition to 16 bit. Game physics also became more refined. I haven't played The Messenger, but the Evoland games simulate that too.

I'd argue that SpaceX has its merits, though that's DESPITE Musk's best efforts. Rumor has it that a few high-ranking engineers at the company are able to manipulate Musk into allowing them to actually do their jobs properly. I'm not sure how much longer that's gonna happen, though. Musk has...

Hopefully so much that all the emerald mines in South Africa can't bail him out.

Fair enough, I do think they trademarked the color and symbol layout, though.

Yea, I think about the only things Sony owns are the symbols they use and the style of their D-Pad(which itself was a way to get around Nintendo's old D-Pad patents, which thaknkfully expired in 2006)

None of the ps2 FF games were one massive level. They were all quite segmented with load times between maps. Same goes with Dragon Warrior VIII(it was essentially the standard overworld/poi system used by RPG's since the early days of the Ultima franchise). I can't say on the Tomb Raider...

Besides it wasn't the lawyers who got him into that mess, it was his own big mouth. Offering a deal in an attempt to gain some attention and affect stock prices. The lawyers just got the courts to force him to go through with the deal he offered when he tried to back out at the last minute.

I don't really think someone who has been slapped on the wrist several times for stock manipulation should be complaining so much about corruption.

Isn't threads basically just Instagram without the focus on photos? Good luck, Musk. Seriously doubt Twitter had that much original tech in its design.

I wouldn't blame Musk for this one except that I seriously doubt THAT is why he's doing it. He's trying to get more people to subscribe to his paid service and the first step to doing that is to get people to at LEAST have a free-tier account. He's lost a TON of advertising revenue with the...

I'll reserve my judgment on the film until AFTER I've seen it, but given how Crystal Skull turned out, I'm in no hurry to see it. Granted, I didn't think Crystal Skull was absolutely horrible, it just didn't feel like an Indy film in a lot of ways.

The reactor at Chernobyl that melted down was intended to produce weapons-grade material for making more bombs. Any power generation from it was a convenient side effect. Power-generation ONLY reactors are much safer, in general. I'm not sure what kind of reactors are at Zaporizhzhia, though.

To be fair, NONE of the SNES/Super Famicom designs were all that pleasing to the eye, but I will concede the original NA SNES was the ugliest of an ugly batch.

It's even crazier when you actually know why Liberia even exists.

I like the SNES option of using a combination of convex and concave button tops myself. Shame no one else has done that.
