Possibly the vampire cinema equivalent of "the Simpsons did it"

The attention to detail with folklore was what won me over. His feeding methodology is a cinematic first as far as I am aware, fitting considering how many tropes N'22 created that weren't in the novel

Skarsgard was great but definitely the worst use of prosthetics on a weird looking guy since the unused Michael Berryman "Skull Cowboy" scenes for The Crow (1994). Ralph Ineson was my first pick for Orlok, I think he would have been superb

Oh no! I've been loving mine so far but this is worrying

I wish the "like" function on bluesky allowed for alt-text

Completely agree. Most of my usage is via composite on an old Matsui CRT and it looks superb.

That looks so cool.

Iconic! I used to play with my Robocop figure as a little boy and say "RoBoCoP" distortion and all ๐Ÿ˜…

It was the Gameboy version which is also the version featured on the Ariston ad! As much as it pains me to say this the GB version is superior to the C64 one!

Ah mate, I'm in the same boat and it's horrible. Best of luck!

It's definitely a problem. Latency issues are something that are easy to overlook - you assume the game is "just like that" or that you're not very good at it. But when you compare alongside OG hardware/FPGA the difference is startling. Older games often built their gameplay around reaction times

A #SuperGameboy CPU on a DMG motherboard. This is a cool project, only saves a few seconds of boot time but it feels snappier than ever!

Masterpiece of a game! Original and best. I love the Pico8 demake of this too!

I got mine 2 days ago and I absolutely love it! Don't miss the touchscreen at all

Still reeling from the fact that the guy who wrote Dazed and Confused (as "covered" by Led Zeppelin) wrote the "Gillette, the best a man can get" jingle

Touchscreen and HDMI are definitely really nice features to have though! This screen is gorgeous but the fully featured mod will be worth the wait

One of the first things I demoed! Looks glorious. First thing I tried was Alien Isolation which starts out with a 1970s VHS effect and I thought I'd broken something ๐Ÿ˜‚

I was nervous about getting non-touch but I don't miss it at all! Taking out the old screen is the only scary part, it's a fun install!

I have to say, the product quality and packaging experience so far has been outstanding.

I think I'm as excited for the video about this as I am the product itself ๐Ÿ˜ Can't wait to get one of these in my 128!

Rather excited to try this one. Looks like a very elegant design!
