DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 4hAhhh, that's a shame. I use SNAC for every core I usually play. Thanks for letting me know. 000
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 6hOver a decade ago my university peer group and I were able to individually throw together Unity prototypes during our first evening with the engine, with no prior experience of using it and a rudimentary knowledge of C#. You didn't need a high level of coding experience to get started. 010
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 9hAfter a decade of trying I've sadly given up on vegan boots. Days of research followed by weeks of breaking them in, then months of blisters and agony for my poor, battered feet, caused by materials of insufficient quality. Not one pair has lasted a year, which has been really disappointing. 000

DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Hmm! Either way, it's a shame for new buyers or idiots like me that want another one in a pretty colour. 020
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Hmm, I have no desire to use it as anything other than a memory card so the lack of an additional battery is appealing. Quite confusing to have to piece this all together though. 000
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I just noticed that on the Transparent version's product page. Any idea why? 110
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Being on the sharp end of retail for years also highlighted how critical the trade-in system could be for day-one sales of some games, with a few people doing it on a rolling basis every week. I expect they'd be priced out now, especially with new releases about £25-35 more expensive than they were. 000
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Agreed. It's good that you're taking value into account when it matters. I'd imagine that the sting of a full-price AAA game would linger when it came to writing a review. On the plus side: I've seen that codes sometimes come with certain expectations from publishers, so at least you can avoid that! 100
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 04/10/2026That's such a good point. I wish I'd known about the AI use beforehand. Unfortunately I bought a digital copy because it was on sale and I wanted to see what the fuss was about. It's a shame that's becoming the only legitimate route available in future for PS players. 000
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Great! I'll have a look and drop you a line when I'm on the desktop PC. :) 110
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I hardly used them for anything other than Linux navigation in the desktop mode, where I found them a bit fiddly and haptic feedback felt a bit buzzy and unnecessary. I was curious about using them with point and click adventures but I didn't get around to playing any before I traded mine in. 000
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Hey @pablo0151.bsky.social, shall I send this to you? 100
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Terrible response to someone bringing up your post in his Discord. 1246
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Such a shame. I liked his channel when he was delivering MiSTer news. Had to unsub recently because there was a fresh recomp video in my feed daily & he isn't filtering his coverage. It gets views but does the people who work hard a disservice when they're drowned out by or associated with the slop. 020
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This has been a handy tip for visibly flagging repos that list Claude as a contributor: bsky.app/profile/shin... 010
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Case in point: I paid £75 for Resident Evil 9. I was able to sell my physical PS5 copy on to recoup costs afterwards. With digital licences poised to replace discs, that initial outlay will be gone forever by default. When that happens, should the launch price be actively considered by a reviewer? 000
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Are there any reviewers out there that comment on the actual launch price of a game these days? Obviously inflation is a factor and it's harder to pin down with an international audience but once in a while it'd be nice to see someone questioning whether a game is worth a £75+ outlay in some cases. 300
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I've been wondering the same thing! I've been hearing great word of mouth about 8 but I'm not usually the sort of person who buys new releases. 010
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026That's really interesting, not even in a shop? I used to see the Master System 2 on display in department stores and the idea of it having a built-in game seemed really unusual but cool at the time. Funny to retrospectively think of Alex Kidd as an early digital release for a lot of people! 110

DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Funny, I still haven't played this version but I had dreams about it last night. This must be a sign! 110
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Additionally, there were a few friends who had Amigas. But as far as consoles went in my circle of friends and kids at my school, we didn't bother with them at all during the 80s and after then it was Nintendo all the way. Even my teacher had a NES. 120
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Despite growing up in the UK, I only knew one person who had a Master System. Everyone I knew had Spectrums up until the early 90s, then most of us got a NES about a year or two before the SNES arrived. To find that this lived experience was an outlier was a surprise to me. 130
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Arghh, smoke black is my weakness. Will you be making docks in this colour too? Or selling the shells separately? 000

DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Absolutely agreed. I haven't updated mine for ages and I feel that if I do now, I'm going to open the floodgates. Updating every week used to be a treat. 191
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Keep a regularly updated physical logbook of digital services you use too. Ensure that you use clear, consistent formatting. Audit your services regularly and ruthlessly. It'll let your relatives know exactly who to contact. If you stop using a service, make it very clear that you have. 000
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Also, simplify your digital footprint. Take time to close unused accounts and pare down social media to the bare minimum. Don't rely on companies to have coherent bereavement processes. When you're dead you've ceased to be of value to them, so many of them won't care about helping your relatives. 100
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Additionally, a significant part of your end-of-life plan should involve an easily accessible and robust backup solution. Don't leave it to your family to rummage through shoeboxes and drawers. Archive your family photos and important documents in a single, shared place that is regularly backed up. 100
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Estate admin really drives home a couple of points: 1. Having the means to read and back up legacy media (like CompactFlash cards) is invaluable 2. A lot of early digital photos are noticeably inferior to film and far harder to track down and organise than prints and negatives 100
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Given the prevalence of weathervane politics and the impatience of the electorate, I'm quite sceptical about any of this being given time to come to pass. It's still a nice change to hear a PM talking about "[undoing] 40 years of neoliberalism" though.

DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It's absolutely wild to me that the Prime Minister's speeches are intentionally leaked and reported on in this level of detail, a full day before he actually delivers the speech. "Burnham will say..." "He will add..." 211
DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Looking forward to the Terranigma re-release but wondering why it's standalone and not a compilation of Quintet's 16-bit RPGs, as S-E did with the Mana collection on Switch. Could've been a lovely opportunity to give Quintet their due and provide a nice retrospective of their work from that period. 000

DeciderVT @decidervt.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Loved this write-up and I still love my GB Camera. In many ways it feels like the camera and printer combo led the way for the Instax craze now. You didn't need to glue the printed photos though, the thermal paper has a self-adhesive backing! Funnily enough I found the receipt for mine yesterday. 120
