Presenting my new project, QRTUBER
Using constantly updating QRCodes for streamers to sync data to viewers!
Doesn't even have to be sex toys being controlled, could be lights or gamepad state or whatever, but I'm me so that's what we're starting with.

Today's Random Game Saturday is Zen-Nihon Joshi Pro Wrestling: Queen of Queens for the PC-FX! An FMV wrestling game across two-disks with actual footage of Japanese women pro wrestlers from 1995, just a few years before AJW started to collapse

a 100% realistic N64 emulator would emulate the "previous owner of this cartridge got stuck at the water temple" effect

There was once a computer expansion standard, popular in the '90s & featured mainly in laptops though used in some desktops as well, called PCMCIA.
PCMCIA is a computer acronym that, of course, stands for "People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms." :V

Someone needs to make & sell removable SSDs openly standardized as 3-inch (7-cm) square wafers, together with removable SSD receivers (internal & built-in on laptops and tablets!), that look & work just like floppy disks & drives from days gone by.
The convenience of USB thumbdrives, without the drawbacks of laptop dongles, tiny & easily lost media, & "Which one of these stupid things did I put the files on!?"-itis.
Pictured: 3-inch square wafers of the past as real-world disks & TV props.

@lenalia I feel like this has been a subject that's come up a lot for me recently. There've been a lot of games that are Exactly My Type Of Shit but I don't exactly recommend them freely without knowing what others are into, or I put it forward with the caveat of "this is my shit, it might not be yours."
The ability to say "this isn't for me but I can see how others might like it" is a very powerful ability.

Something can be really good and just not your thing. Something can be garbage but be *your* garbage, dammit. This is absolutely, and the world would be a lot less fun if this wasn't the case.

I was about to type this up in response to another post and thought I'd say it outright:
I'm a strong believer in the idea that no piece of media is for everyone.
No, not even the ones made for mass market consumption (though they try). And, no, not even the one that you, dear reader, hold very close to your heart.
I've bounced off of things that people I know love, and I've had people I know bounce off of things I love. And this is: completely fine. Because no piece of media is for everyone.

well, sure enough, but here's the funny part: the Euro was pegged at 1 US dollar… in 1950

You remember that time DRAM manufacturers were caught acting as a cartel to fix prices and the fines were smaller than the profit they made as a result? You're never going to guess what happened next!
