Skimming through my inbox this morning, caught a piece of spam referencing PS5 and something dawned on me: the PS5 and Xbox Series X have been around for what feels like a long time now (6+ months commercially but lots more than a year of hype)... and their impact on society hasn't been noticed ...

At the top of active wall posts (20+ comments) arrives a series of shortcut links to the pages of the wall post (Scoreboard Errors page is more than 100 pages, for example). These navigation buttons have stopped working.
I thought about posting it to the Scoreboard Errors page but it might not get ...

[Edit:] Ultimately this works out as a research failure on my part... Original text below this edit & the one at the bottom.
It's no secret that many "genuine" arcade machines are just a PC in a box hooked up to a some hardware that may be proprietary (as far back as 1999 with ...

I got curious about the overlap of both the ESI and Top Players tables after realising how few #1 places John McAllister has. So I extracted the two tables, combined the placings for anyone in both listings based on position only and came up with some useless numbers... Curiosity satisfied. :PUser

The ShortCircuit guys are a good source of unbiased reviews: they get sponsored but rarely by the manufacturer of the product they're reviewing. They're a sister channel of the Linus Tech Tips channel - unbiased PC tech reviews in the same manner.Here's their review of the Brawler 64 controller ...

@kernzyp asked of me in a recent submission thread what's needed for a capture setup. I'll describe the kit that I have/have experience of but as most of it is getting old, some links provided to Amazon (UK not US) are for items no longer available.

@Almighty Dreadlock posted a perfectly reasonable question on https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthr...est-time-(Hell about the difficulty in the rules of this question. While the answer to his immediate question is a confirmatory "Yes", the act of verifying ...

GOG.com (are they still called Good Ol' Games?) in collaboration with Ziggurat Interactive is bringing out several great late-bloomers to the Arcade scene: Bad Dudes vs. DragonNinja; Express Raider; Gate of Doom, Heavy Barrel, Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja, Super BurgerTime, SRD - Super Real Darwin ...

The above has just started happening. I went back to other videos I'd verified & they're now producing the same.

I just noticed Twin Galaxies Live has started showing recently accepted submissions. Very nice. :D

I decided to pick up GT5 again after around 7 years away from it. I found myself flying through.

In among various other findings, the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) have collated studies which suggest 18-29 "young" demographic should be given free access to video games to incentivize stay-at-home COVID policy compliance.The UK government is primarily advised by SAGE ...

YouTube's AI is now taking on automating the consideration of age restrictions for videos. The AI Police kindly sends out notifications to the content creator in the form of e-mails:

I've been using the Mobizen Mirroring for some time now as it gives me the option to enable "desktop" processing on the Android phones. While not the first recording I've made, I have made my first submission of such footage. The camera angle isn't the greatest in the footage of ...

Every man and his dog is trying to cash in on the retro gaming market share and most are going about it in one of a few ways. It's nice to see someone mixing in with the crowd with a little USP - new handheld, new cartridges with old collections. Enter the Evercade. 4.3" handheld gaming ...

Once upon a time, YouTube was great. It didn't last long until copyright got in the way. For quite some time, the lovely people at YouTube allow any content creator to perform a copyright claim against other YouTubers' videos. This typically happened when someone wants to monetise some content ...

Done the testing & now I'm streaming. Boring Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast gaming on two androids (really, it is boring grinding stuff) and I'll be adjudicating some bits too. ;)
All done. Don't worry, you'd didn't missed much & I was rambling like a madman at the end. :P

I've been a little busy today...

A great little video from Linus Tech Tips. Once upon a time I streamed with my phone because Justin.tv (remember that before Twitch.tv?) had an app for Android... These days if I ever bother to stream, I use my LogiTech C710 but it turns out phones are still an option!(I don't mind if you go deaf ...
