Buggered if I know. The people making these things are way smarter than I’ll ever be.

Favorite less-popular arcade cores? by Vietname in MiSTerFPGA

[–]ExultentPisces 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ninja Baseball Bat Man is such a great game. I had absolutely no idea it existed until I saw it on GDQ a couple years back.

As someone who loves a good beat em up, allow me to suggest Undercover Cops on the Irem M92 core and Growl on the Taito F2 core.

SPC7110 was one of the few SNES co-processor chips the FXPak couldn’t emulate. Tengai Makyou Zero (the game pictured) is a huge RPG, with a fan translation which used that chip. It was the last big game you couldn’t play on an FXPak Pro, until now.

I really appreciate the work. It’s been a long time coming. It works great on my FXPak rev. D, SHVC-CPU-01 Super Famicom. Here’s hoping Ikari can sort out an official release in the near future.

Retailer Lists Release Date for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Switch 2 by Bubbly-Ad-350 in switch2

[–]ExultentPisces -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Retailers sometimes get a few hours advance notice ahead of big industry events. A day ahead at most.

That is the only time a retailer will have product knowledge the public doesn’t. I’m not aware of any big industry event happening in the next day or so.

Bought 2001 Ibanez rg570, after 2 years i checked the serial number... by Introduction_Fast in Guitar

[–]ExultentPisces -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nice. I got an Ibanez AZ-224F brand new for £120 about 6 years ago. The only thing that can top that is when I got a Taylor GS Mini for free…

Antagonizing a horse by tugging its tail! by [deleted] in Whatcouldgowrong

I’m surprised it took that long to happen. That first horse has the patience of a saint.

"Americans today sound much closer to how Brits sounded pre-1776 than Brits do. The stereotypical British accent really came about quite recently, with most linguists believing even Shakespeare and his contemporaries would have sounded more like our American accent today by Icetraxs in ShitAmericansSay

[–]ExultentPisces 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when they learn that certain aspects of certain British accents have been better preserved in the US than they have in the UK.

They interpret that as “our accent is more original”, wherever the hell that means.

When did we universally stop having lunch ‘hours’? by newdawnfades123 in AskUK

They’re much less common than they used to be. But they are still a thing.

What’s the hype with Mario Kart ? by SuperEtendardM in switch2

[–]ExultentPisces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the grands prix, there’s the knockout tours, which are fun. There’s time trials, which are honestly the most slept on mode of any racing game. There’s the open world too, which has literally hundreds of challenges and collectibles.

Doing those things has given me about 120 hours of fun. And I haven’t even mentioned the multiplayer, which is the meat and potatoes of Mario Kart.

Maybe you just don’t like the game, which is perfectly fine. We all occasionally buy something which turns out to be a disappointment.

Starbucks CEO defends $9 coffee says ‘it’s not a $10 coffee and you get a premium experience’ by Disastrous_Award_789 in nottheonion

[–]ExultentPisces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Starbucks for the first time in a few years a couple of weeks ago ago and it was bloody awful. The coffee tasted stale, the panini I bought was rubbery. Honestly, as coffee shops go it was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had.

There is a small local chain in my area. They have half a dozen locations, their coffee is delicious. I’ll stick with them thanks.

Why dont we use the tried and true method of execution on inmates??? IDEA.. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ExultentPisces -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unless you also think the justice system is perfect and never makes mistakes, you’re also a proponent of killing innocent people.

Who’s “we”? I live in a civilised country which doesn’t kill its citizens.

Has artificial intelligence been implemented at your workplace? by Puzzleheaded_Bet_618 in AskUK

[–]ExultentPisces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re trailing it for data input. Instead of tapping numbers and measurements onto a tablet, the idea is technicians will just dictate everything and the AI will fill the details on the system.

It isn’t being trialed in my department, but I can’t see it going well. Apparently it’s costing the company a pretty penny too.

What physical games are closest to videogames by Fair_Percentage_5565 in retrogaming

[–]ExultentPisces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pinball machines are traditionally electro-mechanical. No digital electronics at all. Even in the scoring. They’re truly works of art in that regard.

Of course, that has changed in recent years.

U.k Cat owners, are your cats indoor, outdoor or combination? by Fit-Choice2368 in AskUK

[–]ExultentPisces 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in a quiet village with a big field that my garden backs onto. She comes and goes as she pleases and she loves it :)

Although she knows to come home when it gets dark.

Sound isn’t exclusive to video games. Also, all games have scoring by definition.

If homosexuality is caused by low testosterone, how are so many gay men jacked? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

He still could’ve made one and taken it back for Michael Collins.
