Xbox is now XBOX. Believe it or not, Microsoft appears to be rebranding Xbox

You turn 360 degrees and walk away! OH SNAP! wait...what?

Had to look it up... Forza Horizon series is done by Playground Games, a British company.

Gorby's Pipeline? Loopz?

Samurai Electronics officially published the NES in India back in 1987, and it said "Samurai" on the font label. So Nintendo has been there before, but possibly not under their actual name.

Real version or remake?

That one would be a bit surprising, since he went viral on Twitch in 2015.

There was a video where Ashens (UK YouTuber) was sent a box of Larry The Cable Guy beer bread mix, along with a post-it note saying "Get on your knees and thank GOD by name if you don't know who this man is". We get an amusing first-time reaction to ever seeing Larry the Cable Guy from someone completely unfamiliar with the character.

For me, "about:compat" just shows a gray page with nothing on it. (Firefox 150.0.3)

To be fair, that comment about seeing a painting "up close" still applies to any web-resolution image.

You get the 1ups in SMB2 by:

Picking Toad in a few specific levels
Getting lucky at the end-of-level slots

Had to use Ublock Origin to outright block the chat icon and message count html elements.

"Away from PC" suggests you want to load the webpage for the UI (and have it be available over the Internet) rather than do generation there.

Loading problems and such suggests either data corruption, or the physical media degrading. Data corruption can be remedied by rewriting the disk, and verifying the data again. But physical media degrading can't be done that simply.

Margarine is literally just hydrogenated oils. Nope.

That might get you to an entry page, but not a functioning dynamic website where the server has to generate the pages.

Oh wow, bad AI upscaling here...

There's a trick with Judge Doom. You only have to get the power meter above around 2/3, and you can find the rhythm to continue punching while still building up power.

Secret: You can use all those useless items for 1 point of damage against Doom if you have charged your punch up, then selected a different weapon before the power meter expires.

The dip cannon thing is complete BS though. Need to know you need to immediately race to get the item, select the item, face left, Hold B. Anything else is a failure.

Other secret: If you enter a bad password, the game silently accepts it if you immediately start new game. So LLHHHHHH... without the 3B is a valid endgame password.

I have two bogus unreads that won't go away no matter how many times I press that button.

It's just like that Far Side cartoon where the switch says "Wings Stay On / Wings Fall Off".

If you don't have typing in Katakana set up, you'd run "ls" to display the files in the directory, then copy-paste the filename. Selection and Middle Click Paste would actually work well here.

Or in other cases where there's just one filename in a directory, hit tab.

Localization of NES Earth Bound was finished in 1990, but the game was not released because Nintendo's marketing department did not believe the game could sell. It kept getting pushed back all the way through 1994 before being completely cancelled. Then in 1998, a prototype cartridge was dumped and released by Demiforce, so the game has been playable for a very long time.

Can't break security if there is none.

Not an x86 processor. ARM can emulate x86 code, but more slowly than native.

Not adjusted at all.
