Grazester··on The Nintendo 64 Partner-N64 Development Kit
I always thought the image from it was blurry and washed out. At the end I wasn't even wow by it anymore and through the PS had had largely caught up graphically or at least was good enough with its better library.

As someone who has a Nexus 6. You are delusional to say the camera was better than anything Pixel.
Grazester··on Stripe said to abandon $50B pursuit of PayPal
Paypal? Never heard of such. Western Union seems to be the most reasonable especially for third "world countries" where some people don't have a bank account. Even with their fees

The Mitsubishi Mirage Cyborg ZR was a hell of a car. One of the higher output 1.6 litre 4 cylinder engines there were(175hp). Taking that to its 8200 rpm redline was glorious.

But this isn't the car you're talking about.

When I was in highschool in the later 90's I had an acquaintance that did graphic arts. He of course had a Mac with scsi everything, zip drive,scanner and printer.

It was cool and fascinating to me that only knew of the newly released USB, serial and parallel ports for external devices.

Not my experience.
Grazester··on Ferrari Luce
Ferrari done lost their mind! If you told me this was a Kia I would have said it was ugly for a Kia.
Grazester··on The Super Nintendo Cartridges (2024)
...and PS2 eating the DC's lunch has more to do with Sega and their terrible decisions made in prior generations that burnt retailers and consumers alike than anything else. The things the PS2 had going for it at launch was a cheap DVD player(yes Sega didn't have the money for this. They were very close to bankruptcy at the time) and Sony's hype.
Grazester··on I Built an Open-World Engine for the N64 [video]
The id tech 8 engine is a whole lot more performant than the unreal 5 engine and absolutely does what it needs to, fantastically, I would add for the game it was made for.
Grazester··on Finding a CPU Design Bug in the Xbox 360 (2018)

What wasn't viable?

It has been my experience that they would call a female agent when they needed to pat down another female. Has this changed?
Grazester··on I pitched a roller coaster to Disneyland at age 10 in 1978
My job entails me writing mostly Coldfusion all day long. I write new code in Coldfusion script. Its syntax heavily inspired by javascript, right down to the optional terminating semicolon. I still have to support a fair bit of code written in Coldfusion tag syntax. That I dislike especially given the code base was written by amateur developers and just makes me feel like bad php from 2003.
Grazester··on How I launched 3 consoles and found true love at Babbage's store no. 9 (2013)
There was no disputing it. Sony won the 5th and 6th.

Here's what's interesting.The Maple bus and the Dreamcast supported a second analog stick, They just never added it to the controller.

The Saturn is also my favorite. Is it bad that I think depends a dragoon saga kind of overeated? Zwei is my favorite. The music in one was awesome I thought though
Grazester··on Nvidia's 10-year effort to make the Shield TV the most updated Android device
Yeah that's not how you close an app on the Shield as was pointed out.
Grazester··on PlayStation 2 Recompilation Project Is Absolutely Incredible
The Dual Shock 5(wired) and Dual Shock 4(wireless) were some of the best controller where it comes to latency. https://rpubs.com/misteraddons/inputlatency

Edit:// those 8bitdo controllers are pretty terrible looking at that list, Wow.

If going by sales alone then Sonic Adventure(1) should be the only game you talk about.
Grazester··on PlayStation 2 Recompilation Project Is Absolutely Incredible
Say way? Crazy Taxi? The Dreamcast had an amazing library! Sonic Adventures Shenmue(1,2), Grandia 2, Skies of Arcadia, Virtua Tennis, Entire 2k sports series, Samba de Amigo, House of the dead, Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive 2, Jet Grind Radio, Test Drive LeMans, F355 Challenge, Rez, ...the list goes one

The weird yet cool games Roommania, Segaga, Seaman

Of course many of these games got ported over later on the other consoles or had sequels release on system after the Dreamcast's demise

Don't modern TV's come with a game mode to reduce this latency (turns off any kinds of image processing)?

I have a 12 year old Samsung LCD monitor that is advertised as 2.5ms
