On android I take a screenshot and use the lens tool in my photos app.

The screenshot tool has a lens feature too but that one only offers opening the link while photos will also let me copy the URL without sending it to my browser.

In this case it is: https://watchdominion.org/

Lens is also good for OCR with built in copy to clipboard and translation features. As you can screenshot most apps or take a photo of a sign, letter, gift card, etc. it can be a handy little tool.

Its sales have probably dropped off so it may not beat Sword and Shield but 25 million is nothing to sniff at.

And the grammaphone was just leapfrogged; the first news radio broadcast was only 7 years after this cartoon

These phone services were the current tech when the strip was printed.

I thought it was “better than 3”, I know thats faint praise but I had more fun than I was expecting so I left the cinema happy.

They IP blocked me on their official site

So,… What did you do?

I am having fun. Just not Zelda fun.

The problem I have is that it just makes me want to play a Zelda game. It would probably be fun without the Zelda skin but as it is it just reminds me of a game I would rather be playing.

Meanwhile the Sly Cooper series was among the best games, for the man hours they sunk into Ghosts they could have made have made the most amazing Sly 5

Did the 2010s release omit some of the tracks from the original 2000s release?

The old version 5.0 is now replaced by the new version number 2407, reflecting the current month of July in the year 2024.

This change isn’t about introducing any fixes, updates, or features to the emulator itself;

I think this misrepresents the situation. There are 21k commits between these releases!

This is their take:

Eight years have passed since that great release, and we have seen the dividends of that effort time and time again. Dolphin has seen constant updates, with new features and enhancements coming side by side with bug fixes and stability improvements. Users are now able to upgrade without fear, knowing that even in the unlikely event of a bug it will be fixed within hours. And of the thousands of titles that Dolphin can run, the number that do not function can now be counted on one hand!

All of this was achieved without a new release. In fact, Dolphin has been in the 5.0 era longer than any other, and with almost twenty-two thousand commits over the past eight years, the 5.0 era now makes up over half of Dolphin’s entire commit history! But users haven’t forgotten our past releases. They have been waiting for years, patiently anticipating when our next release may arrive.

That wait ends today.

I can see that scenario playing out for son of these but American Psycho or Wolf of Wall Street. Surely they are as easy to read as Scarface!

It got a bit of coverage, both good and bad, about its transition to the current gen consoles. That kind of news helps place it in the timeline.

Back in 2013, the game was originally launched on PS3. Although it has been released on other platforms outside Japan (including Steam and Xbox 360), the only way to play it in its country of origin has been on PS3. However, there seemed to be hope for players in Japan when it was announced that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance would be available on GOG.com from July 4, 2024, complete with all the DLCs released for the original game. Although the GOG product page was briefly accessible to players in Japan upon its launch at 10 pm (JST), it was suddenly removed shortly after.

Thankfully the DRM-free nature if the GOG distribution means a motivated player will be able to overcome this challenge and play anyway.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen any one recommend interflora yet.

Every Canceled Nintendo 64DD Game

Part 1 of 2.

It’s data but I’m not sure it’s beautiful.

Yeah as far as gameplay mechanics go they would be fine, most main line Mario games have a unique gimmick.

I wonder if the family friendly branding would be as strong if people could publish rom hacks in retail channels.

To save the imperiled spotted owl from potential extinction, U.S. wildlife officials are embracing a contentious plan to deploy trained shooters into dense West Coast forests to kill almost a half-million barred owls that are crowding out their cousins.

The online players are just that much more profitable that they don’t want to risk them.

If even a small percentage of people who stop playing online to play the single player DLC feel satisfied and don’t go back to online then they lose money over all.

The rom I’m seeing is tagged “proto” and is presumably a leak.

I wonder how the final release compares.
