I just want another mini phone, it’s nice they are making them lighter but I want something I can use with one hand. Not a brick that’s been sliced slightly thinner. I want another iPhone mini with usb c and better battery life

If it’s that important to them then get them an iPhone? But then they will just get bullied if their iPhone isn’t new enough so maybe the problem isn’t the bubble color after all but the bullying.

When RCS is implemented, even if the bubble color is still green, the rich media features being available is going to eliminate the pain points of messaging between platforms. The bullies might still bubble shame but everyone else will stop caring.

News++ is great but I don’t know if I’d subscribe to it outside of the fact it’s included in the bundle

They decided that they probably weren’t going to get as much money asking people to buy their games a 4th time off of the virtual console so the switch requires a monthly sub to access legacy titles

Has no one really done an RTA 70 star ABC before now?

I love the concept of this challenge, good on this lad for doing this, I thought most strats were TAS only.

Vinegar worked for me but I had issues with YouTube throttling it and the video constantly restarting

A DNS ad filter on your home network to black hole the requests to ad servers is the only thing I’ve found to be effective on iOS. I tried the ad guard extension in safari but there were just way too many ads that didn’t get blocked

I think the most exciting news is that it is on the TVOS AppStore and that the AppleTV will finally get to be the emulation beast it deserves to be

What was there to apologize for? I guess good on them for responding in a respectful manner to all different viewpoints but it’s just an ad, not a political statement

I think everyone has been forecast this for a while with inflation. The consumer has been more resilient than expected but I think leave finally reached the point where everyone who wants an iPhone has one, and we’ve ran out of disposable income to upgrade Willy Nilly. Really not much reason to upgrade if you have an 11 or newer

Brilliant I had no idea this functionality existed in shortcuts! Thanks

You could use PWA web app emulators like afterplay.io but native app emulators were always banned from the App Store until now

Even though the PlayStation logo wail always made me feel uncomfortable, if I had an cd in the PS1, booting to the save manager/audio player creeped me out even more

Apple Music is really lacking on Mac (or at least on my ancient Air that stopped getting updated a couple years ago)

But I can’t say I have any issue with it on iOS or iPadOS

Because it doesn’t specifically call out allowing users to bring their own content but does call out allowing developers to distribute their own makes me skeptical that Apple would approve a stand alone emulator with out games (because there is no point to the app) and wouldn’t approve an emulator with games that breaks copyright, maybe the way around it would be including some homebrew ROMs with it.

They haven’t removed ScummVM in the past so it could be possible but based off of other developer experiences I have my doubts how these rules will be enforced

Doesn’t seem like the rules let users bring their own ROMs which preclude most emulators but Apple hasn’t ever really rejected companies releasing their own games that run on embedded emulators like ScummVM

The big difference is when a user clicks on their content and summarizes it for themselves, the content creator is paid for an ad view. When a computer does it, they aren’t. If a user shares their summary they are plagiarizing and can be sued for damages. When AI does it, the current system is too bad so sad

Super Nintendo, it just has the highest amount of high quality games on it. Honestly they are all good when considering first party titles and I could be happy with any of them

I haven’t played the switch version so I have no idea how it compares. From what I’ve seen it plays pretty close to the original

I was actually left feeling like Link was something of the villain of Link’s Awakening. The monsters are only fighting for their own survival because they know everyone will cease their existence if Link wakes the Wind Fish. The bitter sweet ending as Link remembers the villagers before the dream fades away.

The game sets up Marin as such a sweet character with a sweet relationship to Link and ambitions to leave the island. It is saddening knowing she fades away at the end of the game.

I choose to interpret the fact that Marin and Tarin completely go missing after she leaves Animal Village signifies that maybe the dream is falling apart toward the end of the game and that they were never “real” in the first place.

Despite being “illusions”, dreams and the memories of them feelings can still have impact and evoke emotions from us. The ending hits me the same way a dream of seeing a long lost loved one again does or the way a dream of an sweet experience of someone who never even existed does.
