I read this in Andy Serkis' voice.

Not every post, just the ones that are reposts or screenshots of someone else's post from another platform or more of a hot take than a meme or are just kinda low effort or have excessive typos and who am I kidding, it's me and it is every post.

Did you... Did you just post a screenshot of a post from a novelty social media account here, with no comment or alteration?

Boo this man.

Yeah, the SNES sound chip is notoriously difficult to emulate and even now it's not perfect, especially with things like wind sounds. The water rushing sound in Zora's Waterfall in Link to the Past sounds really harsh and distorted on emulation compared to original hardware.

Sound was working, but transparency wasn't, so in certain parts of certain games e.g. 600 AD in Chrono Trigger where there was a fog effect, it would be opaque, and you'd have to go into the emulator menu and switch that layer off to see what you were doing.

But hey, it ran at playable speeds on a Pentium 1 / 100Mhz so it wasn't all bad.

"Threads," the new corporate Twitterlike by the same dbag techbro oligarchs who own Facebook and Instagram.

Apparently Twitter is threatening to sue them for hiring up all the coders that Musk was stupid enough to fire.

It depends on the hardware you're running it on. snes9x is the "accurate enough; runs fine on a potato" option. Bsnes is the "slightly more accurate at the cost of potato performance" option.

If you're not sure which to use, use snes9x.

There's a typo in your meme, you wrote "traditional capitalism" when you clearly meant "imaginary capitalism."

We need a new meme, but like, an anti-meme. Something like, "whazzup, bitches?" Only, you know, not that.

Good. I jumped ship from Reddit for a reason, but I'll be just as happy when this platform grows out of its juvenile superiority complex.

I remember getting one of these. Looks like absolute garbage to my 2023 brain, but in 1998 I was just happy not to be using my keyboard to play pirated ROMs on ZSNES any more.
