Huh? Those are the original MIDI versions of the music, which is how Bobby Prince composed them on a Roland SC-55. There is no more authentic sound. I doubt anyone in 1993 thought …

Candid does not mean "secretive and very guarded", though. People misunderstand the meaning of candid camera and assume it means "secret camera" and so use it that way, but that ha…

What does any of that have to do with the article, which is about the branding and logo of JR?

You're greatly misunderstanding that second link: that's the breakdown of what happens to collected municipal waste within each country (notice they all add up to 100% for each cou…

Yes, if the resulting energy is captured: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste-to-energy

Japan burns about half of its collected plastic via thermal recycling (recovering the energy) and recycles about a third into new products. The key point is that Japan recycles 85%…

Japan is nowhere near the worst for plastic waste per capita, and it has very high recycling rates. Rely more on statistics and less on personal observation.

You make it sound like he's some young'un, but Fabien has been programming since 1983. https://fabiensanglard.net/40/

If it's a hardware limitation, there are no exceptions. Which is it?

Don't you know - everyone's an expert because they saw a YouTube video about how modern pixel art isn't authentic... Seriously, this game is a miracle, and the amount of love Ancie…

Doesn't that mean it's not the hardware's color limitations, but rather how color is used by the artists? There are plenty of gorgeous games on the Mega Drive in terms of color. 61…

Are you referring to Earthion specifically or just making some grandiose comment about pixel art in the good old days? What are "CRT bloom and blending"? Are you referring to artif…

I suspect the developers had enough foresight to not include text outside the display window.

The game makes good use of dithering throughout. Pixel bleeding? Are you referring to color distortion caused by the use of composite video? Why would you expect to see that in a s…

Correction: Hideki Sato didn't directly design all Sega's consoles, but rather oversaw their development as head of the R&D department. He was only directly involved in designing t…

Oops! Fixed.

In Rosen's last Sega-related interview with Keith Stuart for the book Mega Drive Collected Works, he disagrees with the Sega internal conflict narrative as presented in Console War…

And if you keep reading (at whatever speed), you get to the actual point of the article: >So I tried slowing down even more, and discovered something. I slowed to a pace that felt …

Good to hear. Thanks for replying.

How does the PicoIDE compare with the ZuluIDE? Are they direct competitors or are there different use cases? I've been on the fence about getting a ZuluIDE for a while because of t…

Sony of America essentially tried to do the same with the PlayStation. SCE in Japan fought back and eventually positioned themselves within the company to be able to fire nearly al…

Thank you for posting this!

What an odd comment. Dragon Ball, which is absolutely huge in Japan, is an original creation of Akira Toriyama. I mean, the top-earning Japanese film of 2018 was Dragon Ball Super:…

Yes, the article is more about the (often incorrect) Western perception of the PC-98 than what it existed as in Japan.

A good source for such photos are the ads in old Japanese computer magazines, such as Micom Basic. Archive.org has the entire run (I think) from the 80s and 90s. Here's April 1985:…
