I'll go plain old paracetamol which works for me most of the time. If that fails then ibuprofen would be my next choice.

[Nerrel] A Word on the Death of Switch Emulation in c/[email protected]

[–] haywire7 15 points 2 weeks ago

Emulators have always existed alongside their consoles. That's to only way you get enough talent involved in a project like that. Difference is these days computers are fast enough to emulate the consoles much better and the architecture they use is a lot closer to what the PC is using anyway in a lot of cases, or at least a documented strain of ARM with a few custom tweaks.

The people working on the emulators are pioneers forging a path that takes a massive amount of time and effort. Trial and error, tweaking and ironing out the kinks can last years.

Other items list prices then special discounts at the till for members.

Costco? The members price when you have to be a member to shop there?

Always thought that was weird.

People seem to really dislike Destiny 2. Why haven't they ended it yet? in c/games

[–] haywire7 3 points 1 month ago

I still play, I can see me running out of desire to play as much with the changes to the way new content is delivered.

Unless something changes soon for the better I can't see the game staying afloat for more than the next couple of years. Which is a real shame.

Phone companies to be asked to help tackle rise in snatch thefts in c/[email protected]

I guess the thinking is making them next to worthless means they'll get stolen less.

Most networks will bar a stolen pones IMEI if it's reported but that doesn't stop them so this would have to be a step up.
