Using emulators is not "lazy" or "poor". For systems like the Jaguar CD it's often the only way to access them at all. But there is always some fuckwit gatekeeping "purist" out there. Well, take my advice: Fuck 'em. Life's too short to worry about that kind of bullshit.

Reviewing on an emulator is really poor and actually lazy.

Oh, I'm sorry. i don't have access to every single piece of hardware ever made. Do you? No, you probably don't.

Gatekeeping cunt.

From Sony's legal filing: They are literally trying to say that if a consumer owns a digital game they bought from Sony then only the 1st person to buy it owns it as they would be buying it outright... What utter, utter bullshit.

“In the digital age, it is not plausible to allege that reasonable consumers believed they were obtaining ‘ownership’ of a digital game,” Sony argued in its latest filing in the case, as reported by Game File. “Were that the case, then Plaintiff Edward Heycock would not have been able to obtain the game Resident Evil Requiem on February 25, 2026 for $69.99 from the PlayStation Store after Plaintiff Jason Mendoza had obtained Resident Evil Requiem on February 14, 2026, because Mr. Mendoza, not Sony, would have owned it then.”

The "Golden Age" of BritWres... The long since demolished Kings Hall in Belle Vue Manchester hosted a lot of wrestling shows over it's life. The final show was apparently in 1981, and featured the following bouts (and yes, that is THE Bret Hart):

1 Marty Jones defeated Cowboy Brett Hart
2 Alan Dennison defeated Steve Logan
3 Big Daddy and Alan Kilby defeated King Kong Kirk and Tony Francis
4 Dynamite Kid vs. Mark Rocco ended without a winner as a double countout
Average age of the wrestlers: 35.2 years

An insane stat. That level of warmth is absolutely not normal or something to be enjoyed (as Reform would have us do). Our infrastructure just isn't built for it.

Thursday afternoon is expected to bring highs of 13-23C.

It is expected to be the first day since 29 June when temperatures will fail to reach 25C anywhere in the UK.

A lot of my fellow Mancunians claim that Piccadilly Gardens is a "dark, dangerous place" with lots of corners for people to hide in. Here is a photo of said Gardens. Mostly flat, and open. There are lights along all the pathways you can see. The old Piccadilly Gardens prior to this version? /1

Ooooh, edgy... Use a V for Vendetta mask for your profile pic and call someone out for calling fascist supporting cunts, cunts.... If you think that's "toxic" behaviour from me, please fuck off and unfollow me.

So you don’t like people with other opinions than yours and call them names. Why aren’t you doing anybody a favor and lock yourself into a room and throw away the key …

Toxic behavior from male so-called gamers. Quite an old story, but nevertheless, it’s annoying as hell …

This was in response to me querying Super Mario Kart being a 1992 game and therefore pre his arbitrary 1995 date "pre-Doom" date (Doom was 1993, incidentally). A game HE mentioned in the post I was replying to. Guess he didn't like his lack of knowledge being highlighted.

Dude, stop being so snarky and read what you're replying to - "COMPUTER GAME".

050

Spooky Robb from 8/16/32bit @81632bitretro.com · 27/07/2026

Oh, he's blocked me because I pointed out that calling any "computer game" pre-Doom "long-forgotten" is utter bollocks... Don't talk like an authority about something you don't understand.

Apart from DOOM, any computer game before 1995 is basically long-forgotten arcane knowledge.

I remember when they made a book with 1001 games you must play and it didn't have a single Kings Quest but listed all the GTAs & Mario Karts.

Yeah, Lets have the courage to call things what they really are: Rupert Lowe is a pathetic, fascist, nazi cunt who wouldn't dare come to Manchester and talk shit like that to the face of a true Manc. Fuck him. Fuck Restore Britain. And fuck anyone who votes for them. Cunts & cowards all of them.

To be accurate I called Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester a 'third world shithole'. And it absolutely is. Let's have the courage to call it what it is. Large parts of Greater Manchester have become third world dumps - that's the honest truth.

Restore Britain will reverse it.

Right... Despite devastating losses in Ukraine, and a clear lack of equipment, Russia is likely going to mass mobilise a previously unknown army and invade the Baltic states in September, apparently...

Not necessarily. They will most likely do mass mobilization this Autumn (immediately after the September elections to Duma). So they will have plenty of manpower to invade all Baltics at once.
