REA decomped Silpheed for the SegaCD.

Remade it HD, 60 FPS and swapped the soundtrack with the CD Redbook audio.

Thank you Game Arts for making a game I still play through a few times a year. I just am starting to have trouble playing at 256x80 15 fps (7.5 on 2 levels) on so big of a screen now a days.

I own Silpheed in English as well as the Japanese version (with curse words!). I also own the PS2 and Xbox 360 games.

> “I know I’ve heard from a lot of people that this is low-grade work. ‘It’s not what I need to be doing,’” Ziegler said, according to the transcript. “I need you guys to think about this from a different perspective.”

> He said employees should approach their assignments “from a different mindset of, ‘how am I gonna do my job to the best of my abilities, because that’s what I want to do for the agency that I love: the IRS.’”

Ziegler should get his butt into the seat and process returns. Since he makes about 2270x's the salary of these people, he should be able to get through about 2270 returns in the same time it takes them to do one.

Reminds me of the PGs in Bengaluru, but way worse since there aren't sound dampening walls.

Hey, the uptime for oxygen is 99.9% this month

Why are you complaining about the half hour of no air? Did you suffer some sort of brain damage? (<-- that's the joke. look up "hypoxia" if you didn't get it. Oh, and try not to get hypoxia.)

Really? I think Joel is the one full of it.

Human directed selection is a thing.

Have you ever seen a pug or do I need 58 articles with a bibliography 20 miles long to tell you they exist?

This kind of crap is why I stopped buying from NewEgg years ago and don't buy anything expensive on Amazon anymore.

They got bought by that company that decided on quantity over quality and enshittified it by adding "market" sellers.

Order a Power supply. Realize it was from a market seller 2 minutes later. Attempt to cancel the purchase and get denied because "It has already shipped". Contact support to demand cancelling again, and they won't do it. Support the scammer instead. 6 Weeks later. Oh, the tracking number for the package got rerouted to some weird address in a city 500 miles away. Contact NewEgg and seller, because that is the NewEgg rule. Seller says "oopsie" and will fix. Wait 6 more weeks. Get a dropshipped charm bracelet in the mail. Tell NewEgg about it several times over that 3 months and even point to a post on reddit of over a dozen other customers caught up in this scam. Something NE They make me mail them the charm. 2 weeks later, finally get the refund.

Scammy companies helping scammy companies.

I don't buy anything that expensive on Amazon because of their support of things like this. I drive the hour and a half to Microcenter and even there, I pop open the boxes right in front of them at the service counter.

Dang. I guess kagi is about as useful as a cuecat with a synopsis like that.

This and Strike Commander are why I used a really weird serial port mouse driver I found on a BBS but used like 1/10th as much memory as the default mouse driver that came with the mouse.

But it got over the last hurdle of not having enough space.

Formatting config.sys and autoexec.bat was an artform.

When I was in college in '93 getting my BA is CS, my mother once told me: "You should email Cousin Mark. He does stuff with computers and I bet he has an email address."

I figured he was just any another software developer. Kind of an understatement, mom. Wish I still had those, but it was a school account all those decades ago.

I read the pie menu code and implemented it as a final project in Turbo PASCAL that year.

I know people remember his voice for Vader.

But I think Thulsa Doom from Conan was a prime character he portrayed. Intimidating and soft. Scary, yet beguiling.

>> move slowly and moderate heavily

Yep. This is what is really needed for civil discussion. It is hard to work with otherwise as you get what my local small town FB feed normally is like. We are past the limit of peak assholery that only a system like that can even begin to filter things down.

For example: Tiny local news source posted about an accident on the highway on a FB feed yesterday afternoon. Top 3 FB comments were about one of the people involved in the accident and blaming them because of the color of their skin, so he probably caused it. Over 50% of the posts were racist and semi racist rants spewing everything ranging from 'he was most likely going to a drug deal' to 'this is why we shouldn't let them out of the nearby city'. 10% were normal 'oh, that is why it was messed up.' 5% were 'wtf, calm down racists' and those posts got major responses about 'get out of my small town if you don't like it'.

Seriously.
