Floating point values should really have a little rounding glyph when printed. Like a little superscript plus or minus

Yeah same, every time I got some new hardware or new drivers I would try some of them. I never actually got to play most of them.

RIP weird bargain bin games that only gave errors with broken unicode CJK/KOI glyphs before crashing to desktop.

I used to have a shelf with "broken games" - (PC) games that I would simply fail to run, crash on startup or were broken fundamentally.
This included 2 out of the 3 PoP games at the time. This was considered "normal" in the 2000s PC community due to low-quality ports flooding the market.

I like the story of Jet Set Willy, a very famous and influential game that (afaik) released three different versions on three platforms (ZX, BBCM, C64) that could not be completed due to various game breaking bugs. They even lied about it and told players it was "extra difficulty".

Must be one of those Ferenginar knockoffs. It's actually a VI put in a VII shell. smh.

Appropriately, Tron 2.0 had some pretty ground breaking CG effects; for me it was the game that made me implement my own Bloom effect for the first time. ☀️🔆😖

I was racking my brain to figure out who she (the actress) reminded me of; I was sure it must've been her daughter in some recent show.

Turns out Maryann Plunkett was in one of my favorite Miami Vice episodes "Little Prince". Small World... (Galaxy?)

I wonder what happened. Maybe they blew a light last minute and had to quickly put something together. Or were there plot reasons?

Now I want a Terminator reboot with Sinbad as the T1000

That mono sprite art is amazing.

Doden, slachtoffers, fatale ongevallen etc. Dit voelt wel heel erg als KletsGTP

"overlijdens"? Ik snap dat het mag in Scrabble, maar lijkt me niet helemaal het juiste woord hier.

Would it be possible to put franchise names next to the names? I know most of these but I have no idea who Crocodile is and it's hard to google. (I just find Croc)

Zeker weer die wegwijspiet geweest; vergeten de kraan dicht te draaien. Typisch.

This was my “watch when I’m sick at home” movie. I still know all the Dutch lines. I should watch it in original French(?)
