Sonic 2 or Sonic CD depending on the day for me

i don't know the exact intricacies either, it's just that in the past the lights on the bridge have been dim enough under normal circumstances that to my eye it almost looks like they're at red alert. the bridge in TOS was very bright, partially because they were going for a fun utopian look and partly because it showed up better on a CRT screen i guess. the newer shows tend to go for moodier, more dramatic, and honestly probably more realistic look. the difference is shown really well when an old ship shows up in a new show- when the E shows up in Picard or the regular Enterprise in Discovery, they both look blindingly light compared to the other ships. when it came time to film SNW though, I guess they wanted it to be more consistent with the other shows and went for a more subdued look

compared to Picard and Disco, the problem isn't as bad in SNW to begin with. i actually went to take a few screenshots to illustrate my point and was surprised that it wasn't as bad as i remember. the picture in the article just seems brighter to my eye and that change alone makes the bridge look much more like it did in the 60s to me, and i am apparently the kind of person who gets excited by that

holy shit! look at that photo! if they're using that lighting while filming then my one single gripe with SNW will be eliminated

paddle controls for me. imagune an f-zero 99-style game but it's a huge game of warlords

were electronic dictionaries a bigger deal in japan than elsewhere? as far as i know, in america they were never anything more than novelties even before everyone had a computer in their pocket. i did a little googling and it seems like they were/are more common in japan but couldn't find any reference as to why. my only guess is that it has something to do with keeping track of kanji but in the 80s they probably weren't even capable of displaying kanji so /shrug

the icon recently talked about one of the moore embarrassing lines he ever wrote for Trek.

if the SPC is anything like most yamaha soundchips, once you write a value to it the console has to wait until a busy flag is cleared to write the next byte to the chip. unless you're doing some very fancy multithreading, the CPU is just looping until it can do that. in this case because the SPC runs faster, the CPU is doing less waiting which leads to the game running faster

you can just subscribe to them all. that way, if one instance goes down, or dies out, or makes nonsensical moderation decisions, you still have the others. it's not a bug, it's a feature!

i agree with this. i think a lot of people disagree because it feels like arbitrary criteria at first, but even as someone who grew up in the 360 generation, you could feel that the leap to HDMI signaled something more than just crisper graphics. the 360 and PS3 were both chasing the PC gaming experience, whereas the Wii was the last "bring the arcade home" box. while things like the introduction of polygonal graphics, twin sticks, VR, and internet connectivity feel like bigger shifts on the surface, i think this was the most signifigant and the best place to slice gaming into two ages despite them overlapping for a generation
