Thanks for the in depth explanation!

Is it the same game as Valkirie no Densetsu on TG16? Because that was really fun.

Not really, since this controller was made specifically with the prototype in mind.

Just because it only differs in branding from the mass produced original doesn’t mean it’s not a unique item of historical value.

Heritage Auctions is a scam. They worked with Wata on artificially inflating retro game prices during the pandemic.

I have no idea why the NPS owners chose them.

Edit: corrected Yata to Wata

Yeah, it’s definitely an early attempt before they got the formula down with wolfenstein 3D and later perfected it with Doom

In communist Poland some things you could only hear and record live, because that was harder for censors to stop. Even then there were censors backstage crossing out forbidden lyrics from the sets. However they would often get ignored as an act of defiance, especially at punk rock concerts.

But there was no way to officialy distribute these kinds of materials and doing so could land you in jail.

So unless you had some kind of underground source, your best bet would be to go to a concert and record it.

Narcissism, delusion and right wing politics. Name a more iconic trio.

This pig faced little dweeb is the one who should leave.

I’ve never reshelled my GBA but having installed multiple aftermarket shells on my PSP, I can tell you that d-pad issues are very common because of bad measurements and quality. So maybe the problem is the new shell itself.

I also have these despite most polish language ads being blocked. Not sure why. These ads are for local candidates for the upcoming municipal election so they might be put up by the website not by some external ad provider.

Most people with old car stereos these days use Bluetooth FM transcievers, I can’t imagine having to burn CDs and then fiddle with them while driving in 2024. It makes more sense to use physical media at home but in the car? I really don’t see the point.

The slower the burn speed, the better. Less chances of error. Aside from that discs are kind of pointless in 2024 when you can have much cheaper, smaller and easier to use flash storage.

Unless maybe you’re archiving something on special, heavy duty DVDs, otherwise why bother?

I played through it, it was so so. The edgy, crass 2000s pop-culture humor really isn’t my thing. It seems that they were trying to be more “adult” but it comes off as very juvenile. Aside from that, it’s an average platformer in the classic Rare style, but quite dumbed down compared to Banjo-kazooie. Also there’s too many gimmicky minigames.

Imo it’s not a bad game - just a mediocre one, especially from such an incredible studio. But it had a long and troubled development, so that excuses it a little.

You’re right, I forgot about that. But good luck plugging your laptop or hair dryer in without some janky adapter.

It would be from a financial standpoint. Changing a standard this widely implemented is very costly.

Why change it if they’re compatible anyways? Most devices in the eu are designed to accomodate both, its just a question of the earth pin being different.

I’ve travelled all across europe, coming from a country with the french style outlets. I never had any problems connecting anything except for Switzerland and Italy, because they stuck to their own (inferior) standard thats not compatible with anything else.

Also the french system is compatible with Schuko, so that makes it even more universal.

Monstrous.

He didn’t even have to declare that, it’s always been this way.

Yes it doesn’t. Which is why they don’t do it. It’s made up nonsense by a far-right cult.
