Correctly seated battery retention bar in a PS Vita

I opened my Vita to remove what I thought was a bulging battery.

It turns out the last person in there didn't seat the battery retaining bar properly and that was the cause

I've still got to fix the camera though... I hope they're still available

@wenli.uuu.moe 請教一下，在此文章有提出：「在台灣本土，配合市場特性推出俗又大碗的32合一卡匣，而將較為精緻的原創單卡外銷到國外市場，這個做法也在普澤公司人士接受媒體訪問中有所暗示」

想請問有記得是在哪裡看到的訪問嗎？
（或者有沒有其他關於 Bit Corp 的訪談或報導可以參考？）

Here's a translation I did of Taiwanese writer @wenli.uuu.moe's article from the Sept/Oct 2017 issue of Retro Game Time.

I tried out penpot today. I was actually looking for a replacement for Corel Vector, which this is not.

But - the flexbox/grid implementation is great for bringing a CSS-style workflow to design.

Hunchback! I completely forgot about that game. I used to always play on Spectrum

As much as Poker Face is a play on the detective genre, S02E11 was closer to a slasher.

Discovering the victim with a knife in the eye, being taken by surprise. Watch any of the Friday the 13th to get your fix of this style

I still have to help with some of the bosses, but I was so proud he was getting into it

Kirby's Advnture for NES box

My 4 year old is playing Kirby's Adventure.

He loves it, but NES games can be stressful I'm worried the controller is going through the TV.

How did we play these games as kids?

In 'The Big Pump', S02E10 of Poker Face, Charlie is up against a gym owner who stages the death of a patron. Similar to the Columbo episode 'An Exercise in Fatality'.

I love Poker Face but, as the scene below shows, Columbo does some real detective work and I do miss that:

This rec also goes for Michael Madsen (RIP) who plays the villian:

Sometimes you just want to know there aren't going to be any 'surprises' when watching with the kids

The second half of Accident also has a very similar paranoia feeling to The Coversation (1974)

It'as no secret that the writers of Poker Face are huge film fans with all the references

If you liked the 'accidental' death in S02E09 then also check out:

If you liked Poker Face: The Sleazy Georgian
(S02E08), then definitly check out House of Games (1987).

The Sleezy Georgian was a nice homage to the grift genre, but House of Games is just too good

It's easy to forget how special things that like were.

When I was in my early teens I found some number combination after 0800 that would get you through to a US number. We spent hours phoning random people in the US for free!

Let's be honest, it's only us reading that English, anywhere

Cover for The Pledge (2001)

A good third film, and one that is less conspiracy, but equally paranoid and obsessive, especially when it comes to The Conversation, is The Pledge (2001).

One of my favourites, with mixed reviews (I rarely find films with a critical consensus to be good). You do need to be a fan of slow burners

Sneakers is definitely more light-hearted, I just saw it referred to as a "caper", but you need that to follow after Harry Caul's spiral

What can make it a triple?

I'm seeing more of this in Kaohsiung, too. Can't come soon enough, cars are out of control recently

I know that time. I can't believe I used to have the Switch and Wii U right on the TV stand. I ended up putting a shelf above the TV for consoles
