Or people could just use Linux instead. ^^

Oh yes I can relate to that. I think the D-Pad on the original DS is fantastic. I like the chunkiness too.

I just wish the screen was a bit bigger.

I think you all need occasional reminders that this album consists entirely of bangers so you won't forget 🐱💜🐱

Aren't you happy that I'm here to remind you?

He probably pirated a Nintendo video game ^^

I think the new tutorial cave area is scrapped content from the original game that was brought back. I like that.

I often thought of this screenshot from early development and wondered why that cave area wasn't in the game.

In a moment of weakness I bought Yooka-Replaylee. It's only 18€ for people who have the original game so I figured why not.

The controls are much improved, much closer to Banjo-Kazooie. The floatiness is gone. I enjoy controlling Yooka now.

If the level design changed/improved remains to be seen.

Yooka-Re-Playee played on the Steam Deck. A remaster of Yooka-Laylee from 2017 by Playtonic Games.

Basically if DVD colourspace is BT.407 it needs to be changed to BT.601 to avoid YouTube darkening the video.

Sadly I only learned about this after I completed the playlist.

My full Kraftwerk concert playlist can be found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbkC...

Many of the 90s videos are too dark. It's a strange quirk of YouTube. I know how to fix it but it's a lot of work. Some day I'll do it.

This playlist only has my restored videos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HVb...

I only learned two days ago that the bat-eared fox exists. And suddenly I see them everywhere on Bluesky. x3

This is one of very few games where I honestly feel nobody would miss it if it never got made. This "conversion" I mean.

I don't know who or what that is but neither do I care enough to look it up. I can live happily without knowing.

Same, it's cheap, easy to make and absolutely delicious. One of my favourite lazy meals.

Ren Fuchsfein 🏳️‍🌈 @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 3d

Me too, I watched a stream of it and at the end I didn't really understand what happened between the characters.

I think you're right, the jumping back and forth between scenes makes it hard to follow what's going on. I get the same problem when movies do that.

Ren Fuchsfein 🏳️‍🌈 @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 3d

Mouthwashing is an indie horror game praised by many people.

I fail to understand the relationship between characters in it. It's something I notice again and again. In movies too. I'm unable to understand complex relationships between characters. I hear the dialogue but can't make the connections.

I played SM64DS back in 2005 and enjoyed it for the extra stuff. But I like the N64 version more because it has better controls.

With the original NDS D-Pad it was fine, but on later systems and emulators it doesn't feel right.
