I think the did it because that’s the platform the game Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was released on.

Ok, and what do you think the memory managers were written in?

I am so sad this was Kevin Conroy’s final time voicing Batman. The man deserved to go out on a high note.

8bitdo is having an 11th anniversary sale right now, too.

A Neptune was going to be a Genesis / MegaDrive with a built in 32X, so yes, there are plenty.

I know it was later in the console’s cycle, but the PS3 had Grand Theft Auto V. Yes, GTA5 has been the most recent installment in the franchise for that long.

When the first one was in development, the lead designer was going leave the games industry and go back to university if it didn’t do well. In addition, SquareSoft was on the brink of bankruptcy, meaning this game could very well be the final game either of them were going to release.

I miss the pressure sensitive touch screen my iPhone 7 had. A hard press immediately pulled up the copy / paste menu.

I miss the pressure sensitive my iPhone 5 had. A hard press immediately pulled up the copy / paste menu. I think th

iOS has a non-obvious undo / redo, too. To access the undo menu, shake the phone.

I don’t get why so many people begrudge YouTube for trying make money. They serve up 5TB of video data every second. Somebody’s got to pay for all of that. They know ads suck, that’s why they sell no ad subscriptions.

We used unused punchcards to make flashcards in elementary school in the late 80’s / early 90’s. I guess the county bought a bunch and had to find another use.

A three digit xkcd, that one has been around a while.

The needless gaps are there for touchscreen optimization, even on things you never use a touchscreen on, like a desktop OS.

The Into the Spider-Verse trailer avoids the plot twists and reveals while showing off their new animation style. I think there’s one or two lines and scenes in the trailer that didn’t make the movie itself, I don’t remember Miles and Peter sitting on a subway bench having a conversation. (It may have been a red herring, to avoid showing the actual scene with additional characters.)

I hadn’t heard the Mac story before. I wonder if it’s legit, as I don’t think the Mac, or the Lisa before it, ever had the equivalent of a My Computer icon. Disks appear directly on the desktop; dragging a disk to the trash can ejects it if its removable media, and the only type of disk the original Mac had was a 400KB single-sided 3.5” floppy drive.

The player clicked on the Builder button, then clicked on me, so now I build a staircase into the sky.

Modern browsers have dropped support for the marquee tag, so you’ll have to reimplement it in JavaScript.

Not a film, but there’s a DC animated short where Mark Hamill voices every character.

You misunderstand. HTTP 502 means the server is running on an old Gateway computer, and its capacitors are starting to go.
