it’s discourse yeah

and it makes a lot of programmer-y assumptions in its text encoding, like you have to escape the slashes in the shrug emoji

I’ve never seen a setting to turn it off, you just have to, uh, have posted on the internet for years like you’re reporting github issues, sorry

That’s not part of Markdown or any other programmer-y thing, seems like a Discourse specific quirk. I think whoever wrote Discourse deeply loathes ellipses with more than 3 dots and also applied the same coding to commas. Anyway you can backslash the later commas if you really want them: like so: ,\,\,

anyone else have problems with the newest retroarch erroneously detecting an xbox one controller as a ‘8bitdo n30 modkit’

Seems Shenmue on PS4 is bugged so it didn’t create a clear save after the credits, will I be missing much if I just start fresh on the sequel?

Just your capsule collection and any training progress/special scrolls.

Ah, I thought there’d be some story carry over too. Apparently replaying the ending can fix it but I don’t think I am bothered to do that again

Oh and here’s a tip for Shenmue 2 that everyone complained about 15 years ago (lordy!). Early in the game you are going to need money. Go to the gambling hall, save, bet everything a few times over and in 15 minutes you will be beyond rich for the rest of the game.

Shnabubula’s Zithro to the Max on volume 3 is killer; what a succession of melodic teases! I was crushed when the artist removed all their chiptune work from the internet.

What are some Switch games that are good for playing on a long flight?
I was thinking of getting Minit or Kero Blaster, but seems they might be too short to last the trip. Maybe Dead Cells or The Messenger?

Totally late but the forums threw this question about Chase: Cold Case Investigations into my view.

I played some of it a while back. It’s a linear visual novel with occasional questioning of suspects in the form of multiple choice questions. There were also some hidden object puzzles, which is about as exploratory as it gets. It wasn’t very interesting and the characterization was rather bland (hard-boiled chauvinist detective dude with his ditzy young assistant).
