I don't think there's much risk of bricking the system, honestly. If you wanted, you could even get a FreeMcBoot card off eBay, and avoid having to do the setup on your own system at all. That's the beauty of the mod - if you know someone who's done it, they can very easily make another modded memory card for you!

Apologies for being out of the loop, but... queue? Isn't it single-player? Or were they throttling downloads?

What makes it unsuitable?

Meanwhile Stardew: "here's a sequel's worth of new stuff. Oh, and here's another sequel's worth of new stuff. Enjoy!"

In their defense, it was 1996 and nobody before had done what they were doing with their controller. The PlayStation didn't even have analogue sticks in the first instance. Just took a bit of refinement, that's all.

PlayStation 2. Some of the best games ever made, full compatibility with its predecessor which itself had an incredible library, AND easily hackable!

Shame about the controller, though.

Not at all. Just because a CRT is inherently fuzzy, doesn't mean you shouldn't have a nice sharp source image.

That would be 'Centrefold' by J. Geils Band

Oh yes, I remember the audio one, too!

This was before proactive remediations were a thing. Script probably would've worked, although I find them a bit vague as to how they work

It's a very old meme... and not especially applicable here

There have been two distinct Windows updates in recent memory that have broken things.

1. The one that stopped network printers from working, and you had to change a specific GPO setting which was not available in Intune at the time, meaning I had to do it manually on each computer.
2. The one that removed all shortcuts to Office 365 apps from the desktop and start menu, necessitating a repair... manually on each affected machine.

So it does happen on occasion. It's not as bad as in the XP days, but it still can be a little sketchy at times

That's a hobby...

If there was ever a suitable time to release a game to the public domain...

And that there are apparently several alien species concurrently living underneath London at any given time.

We had a big screen in the office at the time, and we had a map showing the current spread. It went from interesting to alarming very rapidly.

What about disabilities?

Not really, I just think it's the best controller. Ergonomic shape, octagonal stick gate (which is a criminally underused feature), good button layout... the only thing wrong with it is that the analogue triggers have a bit too much travel on them.

I'm a big fan of the 8bitdo Ultimate C, but my favourite may well be the GameCube controller
