N64 at the time appeared to be largely irrelevant within mainstream culture, in Europe at least. Not many people would have even knew of that game’s existence outside of magazine readers.

£70-£80 for new games (Irish punts by the way) which converts to €100 and that’s without adjusting for inflation. Jesus, the N64 really had no chance in Europe. Shame though.

Must give that game a go now though. Thankfully in hindsight we can all revisit some overlooked stuff.

Don’t even bother making a new game unless it supports ray-traced light speculating through the anal-fog discharged from the main character’s arse. Every single pebble too within a 50 mile radius must be able to reflect the dripping, wolf-ey arse sweat drops too at all times using some buzzword engine tech or no one will buy the game

Make it a DAC that can actually drive headphones properly. Looking at ya Sony.

Incoming rant: It boggles the mind that people are championing the dumping of more batteries and bluetooth shit into the nether WRT to headphones. One could argue the same about cables but they can actually be recycled or transitioned to materials that can. I just cant understand the correlation between premium phones and less options (cognitive dissonance?). Have to give it to the phone companies don’t ya ;)

A move to SVG generated icons should hopefully fix that. Not sure what stage they are at with that however.

Who is this for really though? Any person installing roms is clued in and knows what they want. This “stable” author’s custom-rom credentials should be drop kicked into the sun.

That would be too far fetched in reality.

They should at least make it easy to buy a genuine battery over that lifespan. Nobody should have to browse eBay & AliExpress for a replacement component that could theoretically explode.

Manufacturers should also be forced to promote battery recycling practices & initiatives too. They are tossing endless amounts of them onto rubbish piles via planned obsolescence and yearly updates.

The Nokia Lumia 920 is shorter than an iPhone Mini 13. They better keep it the same size(ha not a foo king hope).

The cat takes 4 months to cook their dinner. The mouse eats it in 5 mins.
