I think micro-rusting does the damage here. I oiled a cheap disposable-head razor after every use and the blades were still sharp enough over a year later when the rubber/silicone flex point (hinge?) fell apart.
Sneaky bastards had to specifically add in that part that was vulnerable to oil.
I’m more excited for new Bloodstained, supposedly this year.
Fuck Pepsi. The other tortilla chip brands that are half the price are better anyway.
20 cents a can. Not bad.
The real crime is in pre-chilled drinks. A 20oz Gatorade is about $4 here now. Minimum wage is still $7.25 per hour.
I learned to type on one.
Pro tip: Gargle your boss’s tobacco dip spit. You’ll steal some of their microbiome and soon you’ll DOMINATE! FUCK YEAH!

Let’s say “average users” are even willing to use the terminal. I feel like people running random commands and scripts found online would quickly give Linux a reputation for malware just as bad as Microsoft’s.
Old ports are iffy. Often they were written from scratch with new assets resembling the originals thrown in. I could see limited storage and memory making a lot of extra work, cleaning up code to make room for crediting people who basically only served as inspiration for this version of the game. Meanwhile, the publishers are breathing down the devs’ necks, trying to get the ports to market as quickly as possible.
It’s a dick move to remove existing credits, though.
I was wondering if “Booby Master” got his nickname from having BRA initials that would show up on high-score tables.
Somewhat off-topic: I was in another post about Colecovision and thought this was funny: Donkey Kong by Nintendo ported to Atari 2600 by Coleco and distributed by Sega. Around the time of the big video game crash, everyone’s just doing whatever they can for a paycheck.
You got the T420, man. I made the mistake of getting the T420s; the “s” stands for “slim”. It also stands for “soldered-in” like its anemic CPU.

I do not know if it works. I couldn’t get any BT connection notifications to show up on any Android devices I have here.
Most likely you would stand out as “the person with all the Bluetooth stuff”.
I can’t disagree, but the death of Napster left many a Soul Seeking a new paradise.
Cosmic Ark. Blasting the asteroids tests your reaction speed, then you reach a planet where you carefully beam animals up into your shuttlecraft and race back to the saucer. Repeat to populate your Ark with a high score.
(They implemented age verification recently.)
their Divinely ordained task is to be exemplary to all of humanity. To be G^d’s ambassadors on earth, fighting for the good of everyone.

Nowadays, all you have to do to get your antitrust lawsuits conveniently forgotten is agree to lock down your company’s OS and share your data with the US government, like Google.
Most of these are difficult to mess with, because, like you discovered, there’s some kind of internal database of ROMs. Worse, this doesn’t appear to have a JAMMA harness so the board can only be replaced with a similar one.
I would see if someone from TeamPandory can identify your board for getting a custom firmware on there. I’ve seen a lot of this type of board in which the bottom-of-the-barrel-quality micro SD card suddenly dies, then you lose the encryption key and the board is just garbage.
At the very least, backup the micro SD card to an image. I use GNOME Disk Manager that’s built into Linux Mint. Programs like balenaEtcher can do it on Windows but like Windows, they have telemetry (spy on you).
Edit: As others noted, the “S812” is relevant, the board seems to be based on Allwinner H3 like other “Pandora’s Box” (the name is more appropriate than it should be). You could do something like this or rewire the controls into “zero-delay encoders” to turn them into USB controllers to connect to any Pi or PC.
Pass the warp pipe, maan.
