Super Game Boy Plus: Ultimate Super Game Boy Upgrade with Enhanced Features
  • No, it doesn't copy the game data in the way you're describing, anymore than a Game Genie would (it doesn't either).

    And anyway, this Nintendo lawyer fear is getting a little ridiculous in this community. ROM dumping for this kind of data is legal, at least in the United States.

  • Lunar Remastered Collection Retains Original PlayStation 1 Lyrics, Sparking Speculation
  • Fan speculation and a whole article about it, and no one took the time to actually check...

    I did literally five minutes of research and the remastered game screenshots on Sony's blog post match the Working Designs script. So between that and the fact that a new translation isn't listed in the features, it's it pretty clear that they're using that script, at least for English.

  • Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered – Announce Trailer – Nintendo Switch
  • I'd love that, but that isn't really the pattern with these remakes. They do them because they're way cheaper than making a new game.

    I'm not going to make a big deal about it but it would be nice if they remastered Blood Omen also

  • Counterfeit PS1 Games Are All Over AliExpress
  • For PS1?

    https://www.pricecharting.com/console/playstation?sort=highest-price&genre-name=all&exclude-variants=true&exclude-hardware=true&when=none&release-date=2024-09-24&show-images=false&in-collection=

    95% of games are below $60, and the vast majority of those are below $20.

    You might mean "more than I'm willing to pay," but it's a market. There are millions of copies of certain titles, so no one is cornering the market. People are just willing to pay more than you. In the case of PS1, maybe $10-20 more. No one is getting rich from that.

  • Switch Remake Of Yuji Horii's 'Hokkaido Serial Murder Case' Seems To Be Doing Well In Japan | Time Extension
  • Oh hey, I didn't know there was a remake of this game. Imagine that, a game that actually deserved a remake! Hopefully this is translated to English.

    Next they need to do Shin Onigashima. It's similar to Famicom Detective Club or the 999 games. It's had a couple remakes already, but not for Switch. Maybe they think it's "too Japanese," I dunno.

  • What are some neat ways shows and movies have dealt with "Why didn't they use the Eagles to get to Mount Doom?"-style questions?
  • I believe the in-lore explanation is that the teleporter always has to be in the path of any transport. So if going from the bridge to a planet, the teleporter actually teleports you twice: once from the bridge to the teleporter buffer, and next from the buffer to the planet. The room was where the teleporter was physically located.

    With improved technology later in the timeline (Discovery), they did in fact abandon the need for the teleporter room altogether.

    For what it's worth, they never did address the most fascinating aspect of teleporters: that in the future they solved the problem of how to transfer consciousness. Though the existence of Thomas Riker does raise issues that are unresolved unless you accept that either teleporters do in fact kill you or consciousness can be copied. Based on how willing people are to step into them, you would imagine it's not the former.

  • [Red Letter Media] What Are Next?!
  • After I watched this when it came up in my YouTube feed today, I went back and rewatched a couple of the older "Fuck You, It's January" videos. They were so pessimistic, and yet it's somehow only gotten worse. It really feels like the wheels are coming off on film and television.

    With the exception of a handful of series like Only Murders in the Building, I don't watch much new TV anymore. Since I've watched just about everything I'm interested in over the years, I've actually just started going backwards. It'll take me years to get through, but I'm up to shows from the late 1980s to early '90s now that I either missed the first time around or caught episodically and out of order. I'm halfway through Quantum Leap, and although there are hokey episodes here and there, the quality of the writing is generally pretty strong. A well-crafted, strongly humanist anthology series doesn't really seem like the kind of thing that would ever get greenlit these days.

  • Retirement Calculators: the good, the bad, and what I use
  • Thanks for posting!

    I like the tools available here:

    https://engaging-data.com/early-retirement-calculators-and-tools/

    Particularly the "Rich, Broke, or Dead?" simulator and visualization.

    But if you have a mind for numbers, you will often get the best results for your use case by modeling it yourself, as you mentioned.

  • If they can prove clean room isolation, it's also legal for a team to document the plans in detailed technical language and another team to implement from the documentation (provided to them via an intermediary not involved in either effort).

    This is how the IBM BIOS was replicated by Compaq for its line of "IBM-compatible" PCs.

  • UNCUT with glue and broken glass? Lionsgate announces 4K Ultra HD SteelBook for Van Damme’s 1989 classic ‘Kickboxer’
  • Wow, Joel has been tireless in his effort to get the ultimate edition of this film on disc. He says in the linked thread that he even reached out to large JCVD fan pages on Instagram to ask them to put out the call to see if anyone owned an uncut Kickboxer film print (so Lionsgate could produce the uncut 4K). Not a single one was willing to ask their subscribers.

  • Indie Dev Announces Switch 2 Game As More Rumors Swirl
  • The Dreamcast was released almost exactly 25 years ago. That's the difference between the end of Gerald Ford's presidency (what would have been Nixon's second term) to 9/11. So I don't know what time warp you fell into.
