Xbox 360 if it had the XrossMediaBar/XMB from the PS3
why do so many cool things have to be ruined by people being dicks (transphobic and/or homophobic, sexist, racist, generally an arsehole, predator, etc.)

can we just have something nice that isn't ruined by the people behind it being garbage human beings FOR ONCE

finished watching the new defunctland video on disney's living machines, and it is fascinating to say the least.

I will always love disney's sense of creativity and innovation, both the company and the man, but still hate both the corporate side of Disney and some of walt's ideas (e.g. city epcot)

- one track in sonic rush samples a malcolm x speech
- the smiley face mascot for TCRF is from mario 2
- some ryan's world game contains a bloody face texture
- shrek superslam contains a PSP iso
- you can load maps from quake in half-life 1 albeit with missing textures
- etc.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Mario Kart: Double Dash contains a bizarre "eternal European pain" glitch whereby being burned when entering a pipe will cause the character to remain in pain indefinitely, but only in the European version.

All these "but Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft let you download your old purchases" people forget about already existing failures like OnLive or Stadia.

I'm not expecting the big 3 companies to go under but it could happen and their legacies will just be purely physical games and illegal preservation.

The unpopular iPod Server was a limited release intended for those few users who had libraries above and beyond the capabilities of a regular iPod.

It's a little known fact that the first iTunes Music Store was constructed of racks of unsold iPod Server inventory.

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.
