should've ported it to the Coleco Adam, gonna be real hard to type with just a number pad

i harp on this a lot but Enterprise's Cogenitor is a deeply distriburing episode that everyone involved with should be ashamed of

For me, the cutoff is with the introduction of HDMI. The Wii is the final retro console, and the 360 and Playstation despite being concurrent with the Wii are the start of the second age. The video format isn't actually the cause so much as it's emblemic- the Wii was one last hurrah for colorful arcade-y games while the PS360 really calcified the modern cinematic RPG FPS model that rules AAA single-player games to this day. That was also the first generation where nostalgia became a moneymaker, with things like the wiiware Mega Man games. Before that, nods to classic games weren't uncommon, but this was the start of games whose entire point was to be a nod

Neil Peart and Keith Moon come to you in a dream. Your astral body will be tested far beyond the drumming limits of your corporeal body. Upon success, you will ascend to the next level of existence. It is better that you do not know what happens when you fail.

Not so much a position as preferences and experiences, but the words people use to describe elements of music can often give away what they either enjoy or play. If you call a rhythm a beat, you're probably into electronic or hip hop. If you refer to a song's chord progression as "the changes," you must like jazz. If you use Italian words (outside of Italy I guess!) to talk about tempo and dynamics, you were either in an orchestra or fondly remember that one time at band camp. If a phrase is a "strain," you should get your lungs checked out. If the bridge is the "middle eight," get a colonoscopy while you're at it.

AI isn't the problem on its own

I can accept a plagiarism machine that is exaberatting multiple international crises, but I draw the line at too many posts on a subreddit!

like c'mon, i'm also frustrated at what's going on in retro dev communities, but that's small potatoes compared to just about everything else concerning LLMs

that explains a lot...

my first thought was someone had claimed to disprove that bread becomes moldy! like alright wise guy explain green bread

the Genesis/Mega Drive Super Hang-On port runs at a staggering 15 frames per second. when someone else manages to make a game as good as that, we can worry about a 16th frame
