I know it barely scratches the surface, but the Accessibility settings menu has an option to disable animations. Failing that, there are settings within Developer Options (yes, I know) to speed up or disable most animations.

Little kids are built different in Ankh-Morpork

• PlayStation / PC Engine - Mednafen
• NES - Mesen
• SNES - Higan / bsnes / Ares (whatever it’s called)
• GB(C|A)? - mGBA
• Mega Drive - BizHawk
• GameCube / Wii - Dolphin
• Amiga - FS-UAE
• DOS - DOSBOX Staging

Those are the main ones, but by and large I either use original hardware or the MiSTer.

Watership Down

Even just the word “workflow” in this context feels wrong

Mekanism, an extensive tech mod for Minecraft that could quite happily be its own game.

Or even worse, they move slightly slower than your run speed but slightly faster than your walk speed

Remember that brief period where games would have items specifically designed to be vendor trash?

Ooh, banana!

‘Temptation’ by Heaven 17

The Sims 2’s menu theme whisks me right back to 2005

Okay, my actual thoughts are thus: The original game looked bad. I don’t think there’s any denying that. But: at least it was consistent, and it had a style to it that it kept hold of throughout. There was a real opportunity to properly overhaul Deus Ex with the remaster, but they’ve instead settled for Xbox 360-era models, while keeping the stiff animations from the original, and throwing ridiculous amounts of harsh lighting and bloom around. It doesn’t look like Deus Ex any more. What they should’ve done is taken some cues from Human Revolution and used that to inform the design. (Hot take maybe)

Halo 2 Anniversary, though…!

Do you work for Aspyr or something?

Mouse look was a thing in Wolf 3D, and similar to Doom, it did the whole forward/backward bit too. Really weird.

In OneDrive, no less. Daring.

Han “I don’t know the difference between distance and time” Solo?

Kind of like an open-source Evercade, then?

But if you know what you’re doing, you can do a better job than the “AI”…??? This is a weird argument
