I started replaying Klonoa: Moonlight Museum, this time with its fan translation so I get the story and RetroAchievements I missed before. The developers dealt with the WonderSwan’s terrible display by turning Klonoa into a chill little puzzle platformer, a design they repeated twice on the GBA.

I recently completed Mega Bomberman’s RetroAchievement set, then poked at its superior PC Engine version, Bomberman '94. It’s good classic Bomberman. I want to start playing the fantastic fan game Power Bomberman once my new MacBook Pro Linux Mint setup is more stable.

I can confirm this. My community is a unique collection that has never existed before, available to all. The upvotes tell me if what I post is actually good or if I’m just biased toward it.

It’s about making the game playable for the most players possible. Good accessibility mechanics don’t give players a competitive advantage, but they can help close the gap. You could put a degree of auto-aim in Counter-Strike, but don’t make it faster or more accurate than a skilled human player can click on enemies’ heads. You still have to predict where the enemy players will come from.

Some features like remappable controls and input device support are absolutely necessary to make games playable for lots of people. I wouldn’t consider remapping controls a certain way to be an advantage. If someone comes up with a better control scheme for first-person games than keyboard-and-mouse, the high level players will be the first to adopt it.

In Quake Live, you can force the enemy character models to use a bright green colors, and all kinds of players make use of that without changing how people play Quake Live. Control assists like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s steering assist and Street Fighter 6’s Modern control style make the games playable for people who aren’t great with controllers, without breaking the whole game in favor of those mechanics.

Aw man, Learn to Float is already sold out!

I ditched Reddit long before their IPO. It was like Spez saw how Elon Musk was enshittifying Twitter and raced him to the bottom. It wasn’t hard to tell.

The PC Gamer article’s title also says “upgrade or”. That’s a heck of a detail to editorialize out of the title.

From the Mozilla post it cites:

After this, no security updates will be provided and you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to a supported Microsoft Windows version.

Or, if your current hardware can’t handle Windows 10 or higher for some reason, you can switch to a Linux-based operating system. The vast majority of Linux distributions come with Firefox as the default browser.

I agree switching to Linux is the better option. I want to try Bazzite.
