Here’s a mostly forgotten one: Phantom 2040 for SNES

Not truly a metroidvania, but an interesting platformer shooter with branching paths and many different endings.

The Resident Evil 2: Remake no-hit attempt was my favorite run of the event. Carcy brought mad energy and mad skills.

All the other runs mentioned here were great too

Ayaneo has a pretty good track record making portable gaming devices, mostly running Windows. I’m guessing “subscriptions” here is a mistranslation for pre-orders.

What a pillock. Guess what Peter, we actively dislike you too.

Primus sucks!

According to the article they had to derate their ranges by 3-5% or so. Cory is talking about the range being less than half of the estimated one. I think we would’ve seen thousands of stranded Teslas around here if that were really the case. So I remain doubtful.

FWIW I suspect most of these “omg why is my range suddenly gone!” complaints with Tesla to be exactly the same as with all other EVs: Very low temperatures, or towing. You’ll find plenty of people complaining about every model and make of EV because consumers expected to have the advertised range even though they’re towing a trailer or are driving through a freezing mountain pass. Unfortunately EVs just don’t handle this very well.

I never fully understood this Reuters range investigation. I have had a Tesla Model 3 for many years now, and it tells me I can go, say, 290 miles on a full charge. When I plan a long road trip, it figures out I need to stop at a charger after about 275 miles so I have a few percent left. So I drive the 275 miles, get to the charger with roughly that amount of % charge left, charge my car and keep on going. If I really only had 150 miles of range, there’s no way I would’ve ever reached that charger. I’ve done trips like this many times now. In my experience the advertised range is more or less realistic, and this is easily provable with any car.

Is it a quality control issue? Are people being confused by the massive effect temperatures have on EV range? It doesn’t seem like the major conspiracy it’s made out to be. Mishandled though, probably.

I’m not sure. But as this is retrocomputing, I think “because we can” is often a good enough reason for people to make old things work again :)

I am also a licensed ham, and you are right. HF digital modes are very low data rate. A low bits/sec data rate because of the limited bandwidth will result in high latency for any nontrivial message length. FT8 is only 6b/sec for comparison. I’m curious to learn more about how they would use the spectrum.

Myth 1 & 2 are fantastic games which probably still hold up. But unfortunately they’re not available anywhere. I wish Bungie put them on GOG or something.
