Also, I'm glad Capcom added the best stage in Street Fighter (it's the opening one from the SF movie)

Street Fighter Alpha 2 Arcade (CPS2) OST - Sagat vs Ryu (Australia)

SNES screenshot:
Just makes me think of the opening to Ninja Gaiden.

Ryu Hayabusa vs Ryu Punchkicker when?

Whoever did this, I hate you. I spent several minutes looking to see if I had accidentally installed a bad Freetype update, if Firefox's layering system had caused misalignment and font rendering errors, etc.
The best pranks are the most subtle.

I'm reasonably sure their new refund policy is an attempt to stop legislators and/or judges(depending on jurisdiction) from forcing their hand, after a few high-profile dogshit titles* drew a spotlight on the general inability to attain a refund on games regardless of functionality or method of purchase.
This refund policy, much like the old one, is literally illegal under european customer protection laws, which is a significant problem that they'd rather not fix. Better to leap in and announce a newer, more generous refund policy before the wrong people look too hard at the current policy. In America, they'd just rather no one in Congress get a bee in their bonnet about strengthening customer protection law.
(It is also a refund policy that uses a lot of words to hide the fact that it really just says NO REFUNDS.)



*The most recent of those was Bioware's much-hyped Destiny-em-up Anthem, which was crashing PS4BSD and forcing people to unplug the PS4 to escape. They were refunding anyone that successfully navigated the customer service gauntlet and asked a human for a refund.

For a long time, irem loved their 4/1 jokes. Many of them were themed after the scrolling shooter R-Type. The guy responsible eventually left the company, and the 4/1 jokes stopped. One of the last ones they did involved an announcement of R-Type Final 2.

This year for April 1st, Granzella(a company formed from most of irem's game developers) announced R-Type Final 2. Lazy phone-in.
Except it was an ACTUAL game announcement, as they clarified on April 2nd.



I think this might be the best 4/1 gag ever. I think the kids these days call it a "metool-joke"?

The first one I don't think is actually SUPPOSED to work. That looks like incorrect syntax for the URL tag.

[url=http://somedumbasswebsite.com] TEXT THAT LINKS TO SOME DUMBASS WEBSITE [/url] is proper syntax for a url= tag.


[url]http://someotherdumbwebsite.com[/url] however, is correct syntax. I'd wager there's an edge case in the tag parser being triggered.

Apple claims not to be an advertising company but sure enough they do behave as one too (as long as you keep buying into their ecosystem). What's not to expect from them?

Are they? It seems like if you buy a $1000 smartphone and $2000 computer from them, that easily dwarfs any and all profit they could make from their ad ventures. At least this was the case a few years ago.


Apple's hardware sales have been going down for a while now. Most of their profit growth is subscription services.

I did say sales growth, not sales. That the services section of their income sees spikes when they introduce new subscription services makes it relatively easy to figure out what impact they have when they're introduced, even if they vanish under the umbrella next year.

I've wondered before who is paying the upkeep on that.

Man, the final episode of Kagya Wants to be Confessed To: The Geniuses' War of Love and Brains: The Moving Picture Spectacle was better than I expected. They went one chapter PAST I Can't Hear The Fireworks so they could end it on a comedy note.
While Kaguya Doesn't Want to Avoid is not one of the stronger chapters, I appreciated the post-Fireworks fallout making it into the show instead of ending it on a nice standard shoujo romance note.


I was disappointed in how they fit the title for I Can't Hear the Fireworks part 2 in. They just put it at the beginning of the chapter like a normal title. The comic put it at the very last panel of the chapter, where the titular dialog went. It was a nice stylistic flourish, and I was disappointed that the anime missed it.

My understanding is that accurate emulators are slow because they have to synchronize - at any cycle, theoretically a processor could receive an interrupt, and they have to know this before proceeding with the code.

But this is a very similar situation to what real CPUs face. Why can't the emulators simply emulate all of them at once, save each one's state every N cycles, and roll back when an interrupt is received?

Well, they aren't really interrupt-locked, at least not on the Super Nintendo. To my understanding, the VDP and CPU can both access RAM at any time without warning each other. It is more complex to keep track of the timing of every RAM read and write and whether it would've mattered, than to simply track interrupt signals.

Cherish your legacy software while you still have it.


Or, you know, run Linux and Open Source.

I'm not convinced Linux is a safe option. So much of that ecosystem is driven by large companies with agendas.

What then, FreeBSD?
OpenBSD seems the safest active-development OS.

Fair enough, I thought you were going to say FreeBSD.
That is the board fad, for historical reasons.

And that's assuming Intel will even let you run unsigned code on their CPUs without a developer license
And Intel is untrustworthy anyways. The Intel Management Engine is an entire second computer running a(n outdated) Linux install, completely undocumented, with direct unrestricted access to every part of a machine(running or not). One with multiple known exploits in the recent past, at that.
