    Has the Steam Deck stayed part of your gaming life?

    Use it all the time, honestly it's replaced my laptop.

    Why don't PC cases have 5.25" external drive bays anymore?

    I went with a blu ray burner around years ago when I did my Haswell build. Doing a new build right now to finally replace her with a new 13th gen Intel, and it's the first time I've done a build with no 5.25 bay. This thread made me kinda nostalgic though for all the random stuff I'd fill...

    Nintendo Warns It Won't Make More Retro NES and SNES Consoles

    Honestly, Nintendo NEEDED to kill these to protect their IPs. They were easily hacked and simple to add any game from the platforms onto. I bought both happily, and immediately modded them to have huge game libraries on tiny consoles. Same thing with the PS Classic. I love the idea, but until...

    Amazon Announces Record-Breaking Global Holiday Shopping Weekend

    Seems like those boycotts didn't do a thing. I love shopping via Amazon, but they really need some competition. They are the Wal-Mart of online shopping.

    Microsoft Announces xCloud Game Streaming Service

    I don't think this will be a main release, because they will leave a ton of money on the table for those with internet connections that are too slow or don't have the bandwidth for this. I have a DSL connection, and downloading games is the only real option. I'm doing good to be able to stream...

    "Sex Robot Brothel" Blocked by Houston Government

    Just put a camera in each room, record it, and now it's not prostitution, it's porn.

    Take-Two CEO: Game Streaming’s Latency Problems Will Be Over in a Few Years

    Bandwidth isn't the only issue. Wide swaths of the United States have no access to true broadband, heck many areas top out at 4G service, and many don't even have that.

    An Analysis of the Take-Two Interactive Lawsuit Against a GTA V Cheat Creator

    This has already been covered in a court of law. Nintendo tried to claim that the Game Genie also created a derivative work, and lost the case. Granted, the reason why they lost was because Game Genie just intercepted code sent to the NES, not creating a new work but just modifying the...

    SpaceX Will Fly 2 Private Passengers Around the Moon

    Best of luck to them. It's a huge distance, plus dangerous. Something I would still love to do regardless.

    Air Leak Found in International Space Station

    I am so happy that this is the first reply. I immediately was wondering why it wasn't duct taped.

    Diablo III Eternal Collection Is Coming to the Nintendo Switch

    I'm actually excited for this one. I love the PC version, but sometimes can't play it due to being somewhere with no internet access. Switch version fixes that.

    Speedier Broadband Standards? Pai’s FCC Says 25Mbps Is Fast Enough

    Ping ms 77 Download Mbps 2.62 Upload Mbps 0.67 Sure, go ahead and raise it. It's not like we can even hit the current target anyway, lets shoot for the moon. We have reached the point where my cell phone, with 4G LTE, is officially faster than my home DSL line. And where I live, DSL is all...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake Is Being Made as an Action Game, according to New Job Listing

    Hard pass. It's NOT a remake at this point, especially if its an entirely different genre. Want sales? Give us the same gameplay and battle system with modern graphics, than throw in a few new dungeons and some new items, armor, weapons, and materia. Done.

    Nintendo Asks GitHub to Shut Down Game Boy Emulator

    A common misconception. A quote from https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-duration.html should help clear this up though. "As a general rule, for works created after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years." Considering none of...
