One of the only times I’ve been “happy” that I’m 40, overweight, and barred from re-enlistment/IRR/drafts.

Did you have that goofy little flip-up LCD that attached to it?

I gave it away years ago once dreamcast emulation became a thing, I was mostly just curious!

Even with this they fall back on the god forsaken Digital Millenium Copyright Act (at least in the states). Since they encrypt the system, if you have a key from your own system then it’s assumed that you acquired it by violating the DMCA.

Seriously. They will get to it eventually, they probably just got distracted with suing the Tump administration for their tariff refunds.

do you know if there was a way to fix the Dreamcast laser? I was like 19 when mine started failing and I think I just kept turning up the voltage pot a teeny bit to fix it for a while until it eventually burned out.

None of the above, I started on the PSone.

prolly the PSone

The Switch is ARM (nvidia tegra x1) while the Deck is x86 (amd zen2?). There’s translation involved. Not saying that will guarantee a slowdown, but as @FireWire400 said, if the emulator is shit power won’t help much. My oc’ed ryzen 5600x could barely run switch BOTW at 15fps when it first released (though that was arguably still better than the experience I had on my Wii U… shudder)

edit: hint - try ‘firmware’ instead of BIOS in a search

Hell would have been too much like a vacation spot for him. Had to send him to the good place to properly torment him for eternity.

They added sources through the article, including a youtube interview between two Microsoft execs, so I’d say its a least plausible.

Oh my bad I thought we were talking about the entire Ars team, not the individual author.

“malpractice” would have been not puling the story/issuing a retraction.

Journalistic integrity? On my internet? Well I never.

I was very off lmao, it’s like 300mg daily not 3000. And yeah it’s aspirin. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2026/01/02/nx-s1-5665112/trump-aspirin-325-81-mg-low-dose-cardiac-stroke-heart-attack-bleeding

I honestly can’t tell what’s satire with him anymore so forgive me if this was a joke, but I saw a quote where he said he takes like 3,000mg of tylenol daily, against his doctor’s advice, to keep his blood thin because “who would want thick blood?”

Nearly 7 feet tall? JFC. Send that kid on a USO tour so the troops can check out the freak.

That happens already, unfortunately.

I’ve heard that Zapp was meant to be a spoof of William Shatner/Kirk but he really shares so many unfortunate characteristics with Trump. He even has the crappy taste! “Leela, it’s real velour!”
