The idea is to have you hands on different positions depending on the game

Weak, I learned and I first used one in, like, 2010

Ooh, cool. Though you know Nintendo have a wireless N64 controller you can buy now? (designed for working with NSO games, but I imagine easy to get it working with other devices)

Okay, I’d kind of assumed that iOS emulator support was nonexistent (at least without jailbreaking), but that appears not to be the case, so I’m literally holding the most cost-effective option (for me) in my hands right now

It’s pretty new, but it’s an iPhone and I thought that emulator support on iOS was nonexistent, but I’m looking it up and that might not be the case

Yeah, it’s ergonomics

Hate how consumerist I am. Owned a Switch 2 for all of two weeks and already thinking about buying something else: one of those retro handhelds to emulate (primarily) PS1 games

Starmer is an expert in finding ways to not have his cake and not eat it

Realising maybe it’s stupid to be paying for a phone contract from EE based on them having the best coverage, when their coverage of the specific building I spend 95% of my time in is actually quite spotty

The Home Secretary have too much, sweeping, unchecked powers

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have β€˜voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

Although it is funny that you can skip door animations in this, something no version of the remake does without modding it

Okay, I forgot how uncomfortable the original DS is for games where you hold it like a controller, might just play the PS version tomorrow

My favourite is Horizon: Zero Dawn, a title which does actually make sense once you've played the game, but otherwise seems like absolute videogame title nonsense

02.03.2026 00:06 β€” πŸ‘ 11    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 1

(This is a port of the original game from 1996, for those unfamiliar. Arguably the best version of the original, if you count the remake as a separate game)

Anyway, move aside Requiem on the Switch 2, I’m playing the *real* Resident Evil handheld experience

Like all great titles of books/shows/films/videogames it hits the sweet spot of mysterious, evocative and just pretentious enough

Tetris is a combination of tetromino, after what the pieces are, and tennis, which the game does not contain at all. But what else would it be

Oh, same, but I might feel differently if Biohazard had just been what it was called by my peers

01.03.2026 23:31 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Or probably β€œThe House of the Dead”, depending on when Sega claimed that

If they’d consulted with anyone who spoke English when picking the name, it probably would’ve been called something boring like The House of Evil

01.03.2026 23:28 β€” πŸ‘ 7    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Occasionally think about how β€œResident Evil” is a nonsense, babelfish esque title, only really fits two of the games, and basically only exists because of copyright concerns over the actual name (Biohazard, for those unfamiliar)

And yet, it’s perfect

Sadly, there probably isn’t. Which does raise the question of why we have bases we can’t defend ourselves

There are a lot of British foreign policy positions that make me wish key figures had a toddler accompanying them at all times asking β€œbut why?” to every explanation

01.03.2026 22:54 β€” πŸ‘ 27    πŸ” 5    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I somewhat understand the rational argument for, like, β€œthis war has started and we’re in no position to undo it, so we have to protect our citizens/bases/allies”, but, I mean, for fuck’s sake, we’re gonna be actively aiding the belligerents in this war

Yeah and, either way, confirming the Iranian perception that we’re backing the US is just a self-fulfilling prophecy (of course, Iran lobbing missiles at countries it perceives to be backing the US is also a self-fulfilling prophecy)
