@PsyChuan@snouts.online @owashii@snouts.online Minidiscs are like this for me god I love how they look, feel, sound when they go into a player, and the mechanisms for the players too and argh god it's so good. and hey the audio quality isn't bad either!

...really not practical considering they're just a higher cost cd tho lol

@owashii@snouts.online @PsyChuan@snouts.online yes oh my god

like loading of tapes for the Spectrum computers holy balls like. sure... I can get perfect tape images online that go through THE ENTIRE loading sequence, sound and all.

...but that means waiting up to 10 minutes for a game to load. (I swear Battleships on the Spectrum took like... fuckin half an hour at least tho god. It had no business taking that long. Rampage I could understand. Battleships?? fuck.)

but hnghf the sound and visuals y'know?

@PsyChuan@snouts.online same? Also very same regarding the nostalgia. I kinda miss it but also don't at the same time lol

@PsyChuan@snouts.online I think most OSes do it automatically these days. ;w;

LB: God I used to love running Defrag, but also hated it.

Thing is, it was super good to run and I loved watching the little code blocks get all organised, but the "quick defrag" took no time at all and still left it visually looking like a mess with big gaps, but the full defragment took bloody forever, especially on bigger drives, so you couldn't do a damn thing until it was done.

dang, that organisation tho.

Deadly Premonition, trans presentation (+) 

I know a few people on here were following this, so I'm passing it along for folks not on Twitter.

SWERY has put up an apology for how a particular character was handled in-game, and is in the process of getting the relevant scenes rewritten and patched.

the cis are doing gender fields again 

@internetwolf "Hmm yes today I will comment on lived experience of trans people of which I have absolutely no context knowledge or experience myself being a wholly cis person with no frame of reference, surely I will reveal The Truth this time" - the cis, -forever BCE to infinity CE

@mint@elekk.xyz realtalk I love the leadup to this strip because it's three previous strips where it constantly shows just how spaced out Osaka is because she's barely even woken up herself and has grabbed a knife thinking it's a big pot that she will bang on and then just...

that strip where it looks like she was full on intending to assassinate Yukari, played straight with her vacant, bright smile.

...the next strip has her finally realising it's a knife to her utter shock when Nyamo points it out lol

@Webster@snouts.online "ACTUALLY," I say, with a commanding atmosphere as I stand to my full height of four foot smol and smile with smug superiority, ", what you refer to as Hyperlink's Guestbook is merely the name of the monster he created."

@avie@awoo.space ClassicShell or... I think it's called OpenShell now? is what I use. It turns 10 back into using something very similar to 7's UI style, and you can easily and quickly switch between them too if you want

@MOKKA right but as a human being we get turned into weapons anyway to fight wars they call it "basic training" and stuff like that
