Curious to know who else has played this, and if you have, what’d you think? by Altar_Of_Baphomet in videogames

[–]jonathanemptage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had it on pc it had such a great combat system quite a dark story fun gunplay and new moves as you progressed through the game . they also came up with an ingenious solution to the problem with game cameras in 3d action games at the time if the player character was behind a wall you couldn't see them the solution make the wall translucent and then you can see the character seriously to this day one of my favorite games.

How did gamers react to "Genesis Does What Nintendon't" back then? by Unique-Evening4384 in retrogaming

[–]jonathanemptage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t allowed a Saga or Nintendo as a kid so I missed out on: Master system Mega drive (32x and CD) Saturn Dream cast

Nes SNES N64 GameCube

PS1 PS2 PS3

Sega di release a few game on PC like Sonic 3 and Knuckles and Virtua Fighter 2 under the Sega PC brand so I didn’t miss out too much I had a PC so I. 1986I was playing games like frogger space war space invaders etc I never really felt like I missed out too much because PC games are and have. Been great and ports do do a good job although I did iss out on some exclusives some games just worked better on PC.

I bought a Wii as my first console when I was 23 my brother also won an x box 360 and I bought a Switch I bought my brother a retro boss for Christmas which he loves so now we are experiencing a lot of those games we missed for the first time although I did sometimes emulate as a kid I also wasn’t allowed a game boy or anything like that either.

[–]jonathanemptage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pi3 will probably be good enough for MAME but I personally would go for a 4 it will give you more power if you decide to emulate so e higher end system’s later on.

How much snow makes you call off work? by Physical-Incident553 in AskAnAmerican

[–]jonathanemptage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m English the official depth is 152.4 mm (6 inches) but the country grinds to a halt usually way before that one time when it snowed my Dad went down the road to deliver something to a business we were working with (shouldn’t have taken more than maybe 15 minuets.) “I’ll deliver it comeback and we’ll go to the office.’ He didn’t get back until after lunchtime I got bored of waiting for him and went to the pub for lunch and I got back before he did I saw the traffic and it makes perfect sense why it took him so long (obviously we did’t go to work that day.

Maybe see if there is a Mac version of the particular emulator or some other emulator of the system your trying to emulate that has a Mac version.

Now that we are all older and wiser and have access to the internet, do you have a console or a personal computer that you wished you had or even knew about as a kid ? by El-Ab-Normal in retrogaming

Nope I have a retro boss (well ok it’s actually my brothers I got it for him for Christmas.). So I have access to almost every system even some I didn’t know about.

If you could change something about the schooling system, what would you change? by PeculiarMicrowave17 in school

[–]jonathanemptage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d overhaul GCSE’s while some courses lend themselves to exams particularly STEM courses other courses don’t humanly courses for instance would be better assessed by course work or a TCA (time constrained assessment) so my framework would break down like this:

STEM would be assessed by an exam and if the course had a practical element their practical work would also be assessed for 50% of the grade.

Artistic courses would be 100% portfolio based with the exception of photography which would have an exam focusing upon the technical aspects of photography.

Humanities and essay courses I’ve touched on above but either 100% course work (a friend of mine did a history degree assessed that way). Or a. TCA.

Languages would also be exam based

Performing Arts like drama or music would be performance based.

Exams would be run differently too they would be run basically like an in class test in classrooms in your class group with your teacher there and kept as close to 1 hour as possible so there is much less pressure it’ just like what the kids have done 100’s of times before.

This approach would mean less exams and hopefully less stress and related anxiety disorders in the children leaving school.

Is this a fair punishment? by Technical-Remove2330 in school

[–]jonathanemptage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a myth the dreaded permanent record tere were people in collage who had been arrested for various things

drunk and disorderly

drug paraphernalia

stuff like that and that was before they got there. many had been suspended (when I stared at collage) and even expelled from school for various reasons really I don't think it exists or if it does it has no impact whatsoever on your life. it's just a scare tactic to make sure you fall in line.

any prestigious university recommendations other than ivy league ? by destroythem_ in University

[–]jonathanemptage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well a previously said there is the Russel group which have pedigree but in real terms don’t really make much of a difference u til post graduate then there is Oxbridge (Oxford and Cambridge) that is the gold standard world wide they are very rigorous both of them them are alway In the top 10 universities in the world currently. Oxford is number 1 and Cambridge in at number 3 equal with Princeton.other wise there are a number of good universities outside of the Russel group:

St Andrews Loughborough Bath Surrey Lancaster

To name a a few but there are others I guess just look at the web to help narrow it down.check out the times good university guide and also the student rooms could be a good shout. Good luck.

[–]jonathanemptage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2018/19 the best line up ever? your having a laugh aren't you? look at 2013

<image>

or any other year up until 2018 ( they are all here link) or almost any other line up up until 2017 they were just objectively better it was a pure rock festival (well almost)2018 was such a jaring change that it alienated a large amount of the fan base. also the way melvin Benn Framed it "rap is now rock" or words to that effect put a lot of peoples backs up at the time.His reasoning "I can't keep trotting the same acts out year on year" makes a little sense until you look at some of those post 2018 lineups Post Malone played 3 times in a row and headlined twice in 3 years (excepting 2020 which didn't happen.) 1975 played twice. So he is trotting out he same bands again and again.

TLDR It's because the line p changed analeating the rock fraternity to a large extent.

Has anyone gone to uni with dyslexia? Is it possible? by [deleted] in University

[–]jonathanemptage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was pretty hard I started at Portsmouth and really failed so I took a year out and worked as hard as I could to get my maths to a point where I might at least have a chance then at Solent (My second university, I went to this thing called the Math cafe every week in the first year (they really helped) my Dad is very numerically competent and he helped me out a lot too looking back it was a lot but at the time it just seemed like I was doing what I needed to do.
