    Ever heard of "The most mysterious song on the internet"?

    This reminds me of this song: Mainly because of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mah_N%C3%A0_Mah_N%C3%A0?wprov=sfla1

    Name the Switch successor: what should Nintendo call its new console?

    The Smart name would be 'Switch 2', simple, clean and informative without any effort. But all the people who want Nintendo to suffer and completely die should be hoping for a "Wii U" scenario where people think it's just an add-on, so for those I'd go with the 'Switch Attach' rumour from a...

    Microsoft is closing down several gaming studios, including Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin

    My suspicion is that they're moving on from a 'exclusives to sell consoles/services' mentality to 'each game must be continously profitable', hence why things like exclusives are also declining outside of Nintendoland. I won't be surprised if we see more 'live services' based games as a result...

    The gays have taken things too far

    Actually it's not the Air Division of the Woke Brigade whose behind this, it's the Leprechauns in their Aer Lingus jets. You see by having multiple rainbows, it will make it harder to find their pots of gold.

    I need help with my oculus quest 2

    According to this, games cannot be transferred: https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/Talk-VR/Transfering-Games-to-Other-Meta-Account-Profile/td-p/1015979 Only other option may be to take over their account and they get a new one e.g. change email address, password, etc.

    Should I buy

    It's hard to say in terms of value since I don't know the going rate in your country, I just checked CEX UK and that's not a good price (CEX £170/€199).

    Sony makes 26 billion dollar offer to buy Paramount

    Who says it was purely financial? They could just bet everything on live service turds so you have nothing worthwhile to pirate.

    Sony makes 26 billion dollar offer to buy Paramount

    Don't worry, I'm sure we'll pay for it somehow.

    PlayStation Refunding Stellar Blade After False Advertising Complains

    Stellar Blade is already rated M, above that is AO. AO to my knowledge would basically ban the game from consoles and even on places like steam restrict visibility. Even if AO was still treated like M, I wouldn't be surprised to find some moronic article about some dipstick who bought the game...

    PS1/2 PS2 no longer reads HDD, port fried?

    This isn't my original source, but these are the fuses:

    PS1/2 PS2 no longer reads HDD, port fried?

    IIRC the fuse is surface mount and located on the PS2's motherboard. I believe I accidentally blew the 12v rail on my PS2, however, 2.5" drives work fine so I would suggest trying that first. edit: Forgot to mention, I had modded my adapter for SATA drives, if you decide to go down this route...

    R36S - Sega Saturn

    First of all, just because there's so many views it doesn't mean people know the answer, going by your title I didn't even know what you meant until I Googled "R36S". Regardless, I did a quick Google search and found this, I don't know if it will be useful or not:

    Comment by 'tech3475' in 'DSBrick is safer than you think (and FlashMe is a lie)'

    Looking around, I found these old posts by chance which suggests it may not be the case and this was known back in the day: https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-how-to-fix-a-bricked-ds-ds-lite.137612/ Of course these are unverified until tested otherwise.

    Comment by 'tech3475' in 'DSBrick is safer than you think (and FlashMe is a lie)'

    Did you test exclusively on the Lite or did you also test on a Phat model from when the bricker was released? Also I have to agree that soldering SL1 is moronic unless you're a dev, the only practical risks I'm aware of is the flashing failing before it reached 10% (i.e. recovery mode has been...

    Microsoft releases the source code for MS-DOS v4.0 on GitHub

    I presume you mean DOS in general and not DOS 4.0 ;) But MS's earliest 'OS' was actually BASIC for the Altair 8800 and from what I can gather in 1980 they released a UNIX variant called Xenix, predating DOS by about a year. That said, DOS 1 was essentially just a rebranded QDOS from what I've...

    Rumor Google is going to kill uBlock Origin in June 2024

    I suspect two groups: 1) Retro enthusiasts who need it for something e.g. some old webui, etc. 2) Commercial users At least, these are the two reasons I've used IE in the last decade. At work we were only upgraded from XP/W7 last year to W10 and we have had issues with one piece of software...

    Microsoft releases the source code for MS-DOS v4.0 on GitHub

    Off the top of my head, last I looked it doesn't support 386 enhanced mode on Windows 3.11. May not be necessary but I like having it and occasionally use the odd piece of software on it.

    Microsoft releases the source code for MS-DOS v4.0 on GitHub

    I hope they get around to 6.22 at some point, especially if it improves Win 3.11 support on FreeDOS, etc. Would you prefer it if they kept it closed source? There's also still people who mess around with 8088 based hardware, so potentially still useful for tinkering.

    Best controller ever

    I don't have a 'best' controller, they all have their pros and cons. In terms of modern controllers, I tend to prefer Xbonx for 3D and PS for 2D/DPad. Going on a tangent though, the only time I recall preferring a third party controller over the official one was my Competition Pro controllers...
