Damn, this is a shame. Penny's Big Breakaway has been the most fun I've had on a game for a while, but I kind of expected it wasn't going to be a huge success for people who hadn't been following the Evening Star team for years with a new and unproven IP and a rather unique gameplay style among platformers.
Chrono Trigger is still being sold actually, so probably not the best example. That said, I still have my original PS1 Chrono Trigger disc that I haven't played on original hardware (or even my still-hooked-up PS3) for a while because I legally dumped it and play it with a much higher emulated disc read speed. As much as Nintendo has made explicit statements to the contrary, it is legal in most countries to back up your own games and do with them what you will.
Same energy as "Sappho and her friend"
Yup, addressed in my original reply.
You'll have substantially better results from modern integrated graphics (even on the low-end Intel UHD side). This is genuinely the card you get if you just need the extra outputs and don't care about performance, or you have a CPU lacking integrated graphics and don't care about performance.
In other words, there are use cases for it, but I absolutely agree that a gaming card this is not and it has a very specific niche.
That seems like the same ballpark as a 7800 XT for any PC gamers paying attention.
You and I would have been enemies in the 16-bit era, but I adore the Sega Genesis. (However, I'm also a sleepy bisexual, so I'm gonna say we're probably nowhere close to enemies.)
It was an arcade monster and got a ton of amazing games from the arcades and purpose-built for the machine — many the SNES also got, but some exclusives that really took advantage of what the Genesis could do well. I'd argue that the gritty FM sound chip was better for certain types of game music as well, though that's not to say that the SNES wasn't largely superior on that front.
At the end of the day… yeah 16 bit stuff looks amazing
The info from the Steam Hardware Survey is collected on an opt-in basis. I'm sure Valve has plenty of ways to get this information otherwise, but this specific data set requires acceptance of the terms of the survey.
Tetris Worlds on PC was one of my favorites — A surreal, story-based Tetris with interesting twists on the gameplay, and the first Guideline Tetris game, setting in stone what "official" Tetris would look and act like even now. (Some love that, some hate it, I'm nowhere near a high enough level player to care either way and just like a cool looking Tetris game.)
This, 100%. While GB Tetris and NES Tetris were some of the first games I remember playing, Tetris DS was one of the first Tetris games I loved. And you've absolutely got a point that the original DS does best; the mushy D-pad on the DS Lite just plays it so much worse in my experience. (I feel good about it on my New 2DS XL though other than the either very soft image or very small image I get from it though)
The 1040EZ has been discontinued for several years now, but I'm with you that most free file tax software needs a simple return. Unfortunately, Direct File is one of those at the moment, though I hope it expands soon to at least slightly more complex returns that some other free tools (like FreeTaxUSA) can handle.
Gungrave G.O.R.E, since the headline doesn't say
