when is it ok to treat Microsoft like they're not a serious competitor in the games industry anymore. i know more people who owned a Steam Deck than I do people with Xbox Series family of systems

Weird trivia, Sonic 1's music was implemented to be listened to the 60 hrtz speed (how you probably recognize it) whereas Sonic 2's music was implemented to be listened to at the 50 hrtz speed (probably slower than you remember the songs being)
The original demo versions of the Sonic 2 songs from Masato Nakamura make this pretty apparent. its clear the the 60 hrtz speed would become the way you're supposed to hear the songs from release onward but the original demos make it clear that wasn't always the intention. Neat, but kinda weird!
You ever see a game and assume it's just a parody video game just to learn that it is, in-fact, totally real

*taps the sign*
1) This isn't about generating games or assets with AI, it's just about using automation tools for some processes like bug testing which isn't inherently bad 2) IGN should be embarrassed for this headline. It doesn't say "AI generation" as in generative AI, it's äøä»£, "generation" as in "time period"
Decomps, Recomps, Fan-Ports, Compatibility Layers, and Emulation are all different things and not many people know their differences so lets go over them really quick. some details might be inaccurate and just false but as far as im aware this is how they all work with some lite search engine action

i cant write good oops, nevertheless i am mad about how MUCH fan-port culture has relied on AI to do what they deem to be dirty work and at the end of it they can't even really tell you how it works. aside from libraries, I can explain how and why anything in Louise works, no need to waste resources
lost media is so lame dude Technically Nintendo Minute is not all lost, it was still available to watch officially on Facebook, but like, navigating Facebook to watch all of these dated Nintendo promos was an absolute shitshow. Many of the older episodes from 2013-2016 are seemingly lost to time...
I'm sure the rest are out there somewhere but I tried my best to compile as many episodes as I could in whatever fidelity I could find them in. Pretty sure I exhausted any searchable videos on Facebook, DailyMotion, and I kinda just pulled from an existing YouTube archive that wasn't on the site yet
