I get the PS2 had a lot of edgy ads but I’m still kinda surprised how far this one has spread as “real”

i definitely remember hearing the same thing about Sonic Superstars’s development; they didn’t seem to understand why people liked how Sonic Mania looked.

wrote up a bit of info on a less common US revision of Micro Machines for the NES, featuring a pretty nasty bug, discovered just a little too late and then worked around by using a PLD to patch a single *bit*. this is what day one patches looked like in 1991!
