What would happen, I wonder, if you turned a bag of holding inside out?

Good afternoon, everyone.

Good morning!

Interesting. Apparently, the canonical pronunciation of the name of the hero of the Ys series (that was a lot of 'of the's) has changed; in the NEC Turbo CD version of Ys I and II, it's pronounced /eidɔɫ/, whereas in Memories of Celceta, the PS Vita version of Ys IV, it's pronounced /ædɔɫ/.

Today we learned that the Turbografx/PC Engine series of video game consoles had a switch on the controller for each face button, that turned on a turbo mode where, like third-party controllers for other systems, a button press would be fired repeatedly while the button is held down.

We've never heard of this being on any system's official controller before, so that's pretty interesting!

I want to see the word partisan in the news referring to the polearm rather than politics, sometime.

So I want to know something, if someone can answer:

Is the Daily Kos considered a reliable news source? Our parents were just telling us about how you can't always believe the news (you _should_ be able to...) and how every news source puts a spin on it...

But this was in the context of trying to get us to not look at the news so much because it always causes anxiety spikes, but we feel like we need to know what's happening, so I don't know...

It's interesting how the word item has changed its meaning in subtle but distinct ways since the rise of tabletop games, and later video games. It's not as generic as "object", though I believe it used to be.

oh, apparently some ps3 games (and probably some ps4 games too) don't support it. So not the entire library, but a lot of it at least.

It's kind of a shame that neither the ps3 nor the vita can do ps2 games, because otherwise it'd be possible to play the entire playstation library from ps1 to ps4, including the psp and vita, on the vita.

The ps vita has a neat feature that lets it remote into a ps3 or ps4 and allow you to play games on the ps3/4 using the vita as both screen and controller. I wonder if that's just a thin client, or if the vita does any processing on its end of things.

Today I learned that Romancing SaGa 2 got its first ever English release on the Switch eshop last December. We should play that!

Goodnight, all.

Mm, good morning everyone.

We never knew this, but apparently the character designer of at least several Dragon Quest games is the same person who's behind the Dragon Ball series.

No context: "Well, putting 12V into that USB port probably won't make it work _better_."

@fribbledom Well, you have quite an adorable icon.

Being out of a medication you've become dependent on can really suck.

Two days without it now, and we'll probably have one more minimum before the new prescription gets here.

It's making us extremely tired. Just as a withdrawal effect of the medicine, not out of exasperation or anything.
