@BeerIsAwesome All games can be preserved if the effort is there. I'm sure we could still gather a load of PC's into one room and play counter strike over LAN.
@ymo1965 If it wasn't emulation, it would be a straight up clone of the Gameboy (like the Dendy was to a NES). It's using a programmable integrated circuit to emulate the hardware of the Gameboy. What I find strange is the amount of coverage by mainstream press on this device.
Due to the popularity of the Xbox mini refrigerators, we will be releasing the Xbox chest refrigerator. For those who prefer the horizontal orientation for their favourite console.
@Stocksy I was C64 first, then was given an old ZX 81 in about '87. Both really great computers for the time. A real programmable computer in the home at consumer prices! Used the BBC Micro at school, just a brilliant machine. My pal had the cut down version the Acorn. Poor lad.
@UltimateOtaku91 Sorry for repeating myself. Why do you care to defend Sony? Like I said, it was embarrassing back in the 80's Spectrum owner: I've got more games that the lot of you! C64 owner: enjoy your beeps while I'm over here enjoying my SID chip. BBC Micro owner: enjoy your toys peasants.
As for off topic comments, there is Mods for that.
Reading these comments, I've something I want to express. Being a fanboy in the early 80's when it was Commodore V Sinclair was embarrassing. In these more enlightened times (stop laughing at the back) I'd hope we would have grown out of it. Kids these days, they don't know how good they have it!
@Slugo4 I'm not trying to stop your opinion. I'm trying to get you to do some critical thinking to stop you asking stupid questions. Next time you see something you find unattractive and can't understand how anybody could find it attractive, have a think instead of makeing yourself look stupid.
@Slugo4 There you go, you understand now, opinion and subjectivity. Can you see how a bit of thinking would have stopped you from posing such a silly question as "What guy sees that woman's hair and says to themselves "Yep, that is what I am looking for." ????".
@Slugo4 The music isn't relevant, it's the hair style I want you to see. You are aware that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You know, subjective.
@lokozar
I agree no one should self sensor.
More nuanced content information system is useful in judging what is to be consumed, that's what I'm arguing for.
I'm taking about certificates for publishing, I'm not suggesting the creators are responsible for the content warning. It really isn't any more complicated than that.
@lokozar
Even fake images traumatise or worse trigger real memories of horrific violence (PTSD is a thing). I'm done arguing with you. There is is no reasoning with Libertarians, everything is interference from the state to them.
@lokozar
Just seen your longer response. You need to stop comparing real life with entertainment. Entertainment is a contained and controlled business, all the info is there so it hurts no one in giving that info to the consumer so they can decide if they feel they want to watch, with an informed decision. Entertainment is usually used for escapism, we all deal with the real world, we have no choice, we want a choice with our entertainment, an informed choice.
@lokozar The local broadcasting or publishing authority for those individual countries will apply their own moral judgements on what will be considered offensive or sensitive material. We already have such a system, only now there is more detailed way of giving forewarning, it only helps. Of the countries you listed, I can only see The Saudis there that would go as far as censorship.
@lokozar Your second paragraph supports the use of these warnings, as I said, it's an extension of those guidelines. Your argument seems to revolve around "anything can offend so there is no point in trying to warn as there is to many things that can trigger", it sounds like"it's too hard so why bother" I'm coming from the point that, if there is chance to inform, you take it, leaving no one in denial about what they are about to experience. Regarding my grandfather, yes he had problems, having participated in the Dresden bombings. So a warning on graphic violence was very welcomed by him.
@lokozar Are you against age ratings? Because this is just an extension of those. Your argument is becoming weaker. My Grandfather certainly welcomed these warnings, he didn't enjoy watching graphic violence and would avoid those, he saw enough of that for several lifetimes during WWII. Now are you telling me my War hero Grandfather is a snowflake? You need to use a bit of common sense.
@lokozar The warning is specific. Being hit by a motor vehicle can be fatal. Good, I know to take care crossing the road. Movie X deals with these subjects, good, I know if I can handle that.

Re: Xbox Fans Repulsed By Mid-Game Ubisoft Advert For Assassin's Creed
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

What's the problem?
Re: Xbox Game Pass's Boyfriend Dungeon Is Proving To Be Controversial For Some Players
@lokozar and being specific on these warnings we are informed on if we are prepared to take the risk both physically and mentally.
Re: Xbox Game Pass's Boyfriend Dungeon Is Proving To Be Controversial For Some Players
You know, teaching, as in warning there is danger.
Re: Xbox Game Pass's Boyfriend Dungeon Is Proving To Be Controversial For Some Players

That's a great analogy considering society teaches us to cross roads safely, not throw us out there unprepared.
