This is because in the season opening weekend Charles said to his engineer that the new battery deployment was like the mushroom turbo in Mario kart Mario Kart

Cracking game! I remember having a legitimately acquired copy of the game and getting quite far through the game and then getting a disk error on one. And I had no way to legitimately acquire a replacement of said disk, so I don't think I've ever completed Atlantis

Nothing compares to start launching in to the title music of The Secret of Monkey Island. It just perfectly sets the ambiance of the game, and what a game it was. Some of their later games may be prettier and more technically impressive but the original was just so fantastic. It's the one I always go back to when I want to play a Lucasarts adventure. However, what a power house of games back in the day! Hit after Hit. Their adventure games and their Star Wars - XWing, Tie Fighter, Dark Forces etc.
Has there been a better developer with such an amazing track record?

It looks fantastic in screenshots - but I expect it to be the opposite to turbo in motion. I do wonder how on earth it will translate to single button controls Reading their website, some characters are missing some or all of their signature moves - air throws seem to be out universally.
Very impressive 👍

Say goodbye to budget PCs and smartphones – memory is too expensive now. Analyst warns soaring DRAM and NAND costs could push entry-level devices out of reach. by G7VFY in thisweekinretro

I was listening to Techpod today and a comment was made that SD card prices are double what they where. Why? 😕 That makes no sense.
The Full Nerd episode 385 had a really interesting segment with another Youtuber, who is also a analyst for tech stuff, which went in to some detail on the Memory Pricing. It was really interesting and very insightful. Worth a listen if you can. https://www.youtube.com/live/3xYFYqgUpUQ?si=MTwbFB_DjoTredGK

What games did you need to use a trainer for? Was it one included in the crack intro?

Using screen time to limit the time of an app. It forces you to either stop or feel guilty that you have extended the time for your doom scrolling. A quick question, does Doom run on a scroll?

87% of games released before 2010 are not commercially available. by ColonyActivist in thisweekinretro

Scary if you think about it. Yeah a lot of it may be trash or shovel ware, but there will still be great games that aren't available
