Nice! Europe never got this but it's a cool thing. Definitely prefer this to the pixel art cover but the original European one is still my favourite. Awesome game whichever variant and regularly underrated.

This sign at Heathrow Airport has crashed and are those specs not a little bit overkill for digital signage? That's a pretty baller gaming PC Heathrow's got and a nice fat commission for their supplier too.

I can only assume this is because of the video I made about him and his crypto-laden Flappy Bird reboot. Or Deez NFTs was a pump-and-dump operation and he's ridden off into the sunset. Who knows. Who cares. Only sad thing is he dragged the good name of Flappy Bird down with him. youtu.be/B_J6JVQGhDo

I used to have no icons but I've come around to having a few neatly organised in the corner. No icons isn't as heinous as dumping all your documents on your desktop. There's a folder for Documents! Theoretically.

This has that AI-generated aesthetic way back in the 90's. What if generative AI looks the way it does because it's been trained on 90's magazine adverts? Also sexism etc.

A classic. The first Final Fantasy game released in Europe (the second being FF VII) and they didn't even put Final Fantasy on the box!

Lufia. One of only three JRPG's released for the SNES in Europe, not released at all in the UK, and known as Lufia II in the US. We got a few action RPG's (Terranigma included) but we were really starved for JRPG's back then. Lufia's awesome though.

Well yeah. There are some people who wouldn't be happy with anything that doesn't result in retaliation from President JD Vance (it's me I'm some people).

It is the most minor of pet peeves but I wish there was a way to tell Windows the answer to this is always "yes, I know what I'm doing, do as you're told". That and the on-shutdown "do you want to save this file?" and it's like "well, no, because I'd have saved it". I need a hand-holding toggle.
