@PolGM the remasters have been out for a bit, so you can look up the reviews. I haven't tried them personally.

@phl Pretty much.

@jenny753 I guess I was dangerously close to being 1% 🤷♂️ I have no idea what actually puts me in such a group.

@ridge You CAN change the currency and still use it!

Ok, thanks for explaining who Bernie is. I did vote for the guy in the past, so I'm aware. 😅 It's the overall stats that confuse me.

Blizzard is going to delist original versions of WarCraft 1 & 2 off digital distribution services in favor of the recent remasters. If you wanted to grab the originals, they are available on GOG as a bundle, and you can use promo code "MakeWarcraftLiveForever" to get a couple bucks off.

Also an interesting approach to expanding an NES game to widescreen - the tiled backgrounds are drawn to the screen's maximum view distance, but the sprites & everything still operates in a 4:3 square in the middle of it. So I'm assuming this is still running original emulated code rather than being a reimplementation of some kind.

@Sylvhem You apparently can choose to become his supporter or not. And you can punch him.

TIL an official mobile port of Takeshi's Challenge was released in the year 2017, and it features new content, such as GOING TO AMERICA AND MEETING DONALD TRUMP.

@mcc Can confirm. Been using it since the late 90s. Basically every screenshot you've seen me post on any social media went through it first.
