Hello! This is Kalensar, one of the main cheerleaders of the project, and supporter listed in the credits section. Read more

Speaking of the manual, from the same NES cartridge, what *is* in the manual but few noticed... Duck Hunt was a 2-player game! The second controller could move the ducks around. Read more

to everyone wondering where our post was: this was it. it took a while assembling all the responses from current and former kotaku dot com staffers but all that time gave us the room to honor fahey in the best way we knew how. i didn’t get to work with him long but his personality and wit were infectious. im bummed… Read more

I used an old Dell laptop without a battery for about 2 years. This was back in my senior year of college and first year out of school. It was glitched to hell and back, literally could not turn it off or it would take 5-6 tries to get it to boot again. Also Dell discontinued the batteries and the aftermarket… Read more

They are still a secret to the millions of Mac users who pay no attention to any of this. When something goes wrong, they have no idea what to do. Sometimes they take it to a Genius Bar, sometimes they call a relative... They don’t even know what “boot” means.

Only have restaurants that are bland chains? I’m not sure what suburbs you are familiar with, but this is simply not true. In my metro area various suburbs are known for having high concentrations of different ethnic groups, and there are amazing restaurants that reflect that.

These remind me a bit of the old Rare games, when they were still good. KBFD forever! Read more

Not exactly related but I wish it was on the switch - Valheim. Bought it this week on sale and it’s refreshing how open ended it is. Enjoyable in an old-school gaming sort of way.   Read more

Thanks for the article, snagged a few years with no issue. Read more

I’ve loved every iteration of the SE since it was in the iPhone 5 form factor.  I don’t use my phone for much other than messaging, gps and audio playback.  I do envy my wife’s OLED screen on her 12 and wouldn’t mind a nicer camera but I’m more than happy to save hundreds for in the meantime.  I’m assuming that all… Read more

I have been wanting a green iphone for the longest time but they always seem to release them when it’s not convenient. I had iPhone 5 and a year later they released iPhone 5C with green as an option. Then I had iPhone XS and a year later iPhone 11 shows up in green. I have iPhone 13 Pro and now rumored they’recoming… Read more

But now I just want to know WHO gave me that 1 star and WHY Read more

Thank you for this. I just reported HBO Max. I signed up using my phone and went to cancel using my phone and they made it completely impossible. When you get to the cancel screen in the app they first offer you the ability to choose a different plan (clickable) and then the actual cancel button is under that. Except… Read more

This is very cool! I wish Amazon Music had even half the options and supporting apps as Spotify, but I still use it because it’s half the price if you own an Echo.  Read more

Composite cables work fine (two for video, one for audio), but they don’t have the clarity of component.

This is a great example of what’s being discussed here Read more

Using the BSOD image is actually a brilliant move. Shade aside, I’d like to think they realized that the BSOD is a very iconic Windows thing, and easily the most recognizable thing they could use without copyright issues (they probably didn’t want to just slap on the Windows logo for copyright reasons).

This is the content I crave.
