This is a *fascinating* concept for games studies - "quotes" of a game that don't just show you a clip of gameplay, but actually let you take control and try it out. It trims the ROM down to only what's needed to run the quote, so this might even pass a fair dealing/fair use test in court if it came down to it - just like quoting a passage of text, or a clip of a movie.

hey amd folks, what's the difference between the b650 and x760 chipsets, other than a $60 price differential on the motherboard? i'm wondering if there's any reason one would be worth it over the other

a couple of pc build questions:

- ddr5 ram: is there a meaningful difference between 6000 and 6400 MHz

- is overclocking still a thing that gives practical and noticeable improvements in performance these days or are the added power draw and build stipulations not worth it anymore

- when did case manufacturers decide that wanting more than two usb ports on the case front panel was a trap laid by satan and was never to be entertained

hey critters, what's the state of things these days as far as gpus? is there a clear advantage between nvidia and amd, what's good value for money, what's better in terms of compatibility and features, etc

i ask because i was looking at getting an rtx 3060 (price ~$240 for reference) but i realized i hadnt looked into any amd chips so im not sure what to compare in terms of power and price point. im a pc building newbert so it's hard for me to sort through the specs to find good deals and stuff

(opens my umbrella in preparation for a deluge of gpu opinions)

My personal cut off is that NES games have to be real, real interesting and fascinating for me to have a good time, and console games from before that are Basically All Not Fun to me

the SNES is when I start really enjoying things and even then I still find most games unappealingly retro in ways. But at least now I can find a lot of stuff I like

This is pure personal preference, btw, no judgement of the games or their value

What's the point in time where "retro" games stop being cool and start being unplayable, for you?

Are you the sorta person who finds SNES platformers divine but NES platformers mostly unpolished messes (with some exceptions)? Can you really sink your teeth into an ancient nes game, but Atari just seems pointless? Are you a huge fan of weird old console stuff, but the oldest arcade games just aren't worth going back to? Or does "fun retro" for you mean say, weird GameCube games?
