Is there a way to trick the App Store into displaying the wrong age for your app? Because if not, then this app is 4 years old and Meta is actually stealing their name.
Fair enough. I’m surprised there isn’t a more obvious release date on the front section of the App Store. Might be useful to know how long a product has been available.
Garbage in, garbage out. I use(d) Twitter to follow a bunch of high profile Machine Learning and Software Engineering professionals, and my (non algorithmic) feed was rather useful and informative.
There were a lot more people on Twitter than pop culture celebrities.
In pretty much any field you can think of, some of its leading figures would be on there. Economics, urbanism, tech, astronomy, game developers, journalists, fan communities of essentially any creative work, communities for marginalized identities, pretty much any interest was well-represented there.
It was great for artists and scientists. My twitter feed was mainly filled with paleoartists and paleontologists bickering about the fullness of t rex lips and I sorely miss it.
Sick reference, I hadn’t thought of that song in years. She was bullied and harassed endlessly over it. Turns out it was just a relatively well produced amateur music video she did with her friends one day for fun. I always thought it was a poorly produced professional song/video being force fed to us. Felt real bad when I found that out, poor kid hope she’s doing alright.
Now that’s the sort of quality content I’m here for! I’ve never really gotten into shmups back in the day, on account of them being so God damn hard.
Ever since I’ve got an Anbernic 35XX on my nightstand with every game under the sun on it I’ve been going through the various shmups, and R-Type just is the best of them all. I love the SNES version, personally. That being said, no genre makes me rage quit more, and basically every loaded R-Type save state will greet me with a Game Over screen, but it is what it is.
So, across all retro console generations (Arcade, 8/16/32), which is the best R-Type in your opinion?
I mean, the arcade is clearly the best version… (if you’re talking the original game).
For the ports… the Spectrum is great for sheer chutzpah, but the PC Engine port is probably the most faithful of all the versions that weren’t running an emulator. The Sega Mastersystem is also extremely good, on much less powerful hardware.
