N64 at the time appeared to be largely irrelevant within mainstream culture, in Europe at least. Not many people would have even knew of that game’s existence outside of magazine readers.
£70-£80 for new games (Irish punts by the way) which converts to €100 and that’s without adjusting for inflation. Jesus, the N64 really had no chance in Europe. Shame though.
Must give that game a go now though. Thankfully in hindsight we can all revisit some overlooked stuff.
Don’t even bother making a new game unless it supports ray-traced light speculating through the anal-fog discharged from the main character’s arse. Every single pebble too within a 50 mile radius must be able to reflect the dripping, wolf-ey arse sweat drops too at all times using some buzzword engine tech or no one will buy the game
Make it a DAC that can actually drive headphones properly. Looking at ya Sony.
Incoming rant: It boggles the mind that people are championing the dumping of more batteries and bluetooth shit into the nether WRT to headphones. One could argue the same about cables but they can actually be recycled or transitioned to materials that can. I just cant understand the correlation between premium phones and less options (cognitive dissonance?). Have to give it to the phone companies don’t ya ;)
A move to SVG generated icons should hopefully fix that. Not sure what stage they are at with that however.
Who is this for really though? Any person installing roms is clued in and knows what they want. This “stable” author’s custom-rom credentials should be drop kicked into the sun.
That would be too far fetched in reality.
They should at least make it easy to buy a genuine battery over that lifespan. Nobody should have to browse eBay & AliExpress for a replacement component that could theoretically explode.
Manufacturers should also be forced to promote battery recycling practices & initiatives too. They are tossing endless amounts of them onto rubbish piles via planned obsolescence and yearly updates.
The Nokia Lumia 920 is shorter than an iPhone Mini 13. They better keep it the same size(ha not a foo king hope).

The cat takes 4 months to cook their dinner. The mouse eats it in 5 mins.
Happily using UBOrigin on web and uYouplus on iOS.
Yea that’s the problem isn’t it. I had a great idea involving bullshit-efying my comments by editing them slowly with a LLM via long running script and repeatedly over months.
I realised that they probably don’t delete the original text on edit anyway which, as you say is probably buried in a backup someplace.
Yep AEC is a Windows world. I was tasked with building Revit Addins to leverage within the Design Automation API. Had to run it in virtualbox which was a ball ache. Eventually moved to parsec to desktop stream instead.
Shame IFC won’t take off. It’s so limited but at least the files are editable in a text editor. CAD and RVT are a database wrapped inside a binary file which is a holy mess if you load them into a DB viewer.
Need the EU to step in to pull some things away from Autodesk for Linux to have a chance.
In reality, the inertia is too much and AEC professionals are too entrenched in Windows tools since they do the job just fine.
They are just being hyperbolic. Sir this is a Nintendos.
They should also be be required to use a dongle for every tool they use to survive with a limit of only 1 tool at a time
*waiting patiently for EU to catch on to this.
Google may not like the outcome…
Dunno if you’re taking the piss but they’re not that bad. Have an iPhone mini 13 I bought for €450 2nd hand with 100% battery health. Decent upgrade from an Xperia XZ1 compact. Needed a pocketable phone & the Asus Zenfone was too expensive.
Have to say, having the call audio levels, proximity sensor & speakers properly tuned to the hardware, software/security updates without having to run a non-official build of Lineage OS and AltStore-Linux for side-loading has been sweet.
Uses more power and it creates thermal strain on a single point-of-failure port if you want to both charge and listen to music with a poxy dongle.
All this “innovation” does is create more e-waste.
Is it an Intel GPU? I’ve a Dell with an Intel hd620 that won’t do 4k60 over HDMI on Linux/Win/Mac(osx86).
Needs DisplayPort to reach 4K60hz.
