It would be great for accessibility if the pixellation was the result of a font, rather than actually using images to represent the text.
Master System games are very inaccessible.

#33Why did they use anti-aliasing? Doesn't look very retro.
Retro games weren’t pixelated per se http://kayin.moe/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/1391807722376.pn...
Yes and no. Many of us used S-Video then RGB/VGA wherever available. Though in the case of the original NES our options were indeed limited.

#34I hate it when they take over my browsers back button. Pressing back until you hit HN again is a pain when you watched the whole thing. Credits on the actual content though. Nice achievement.
I always open hn links in a new tab, so then I can just close it and go back to the hn post.

On a pc/laptop I do the same, on a phone it is too inconvenient. Too many clicks. Or at least, that are my 2 cents.

I played my Sega Genesis occasionally on the Amiga monitor, but far more on composite televisions. Other systems like Atari, NES and SMS, only on a TV. I would estimate the proportion of people who used monitors vs TVs for 8 and 16 bit gaming is very small.

> Please don't destroy the back button... i had to click it 60 times to get back here... After the third or fourth click, did it cross your mind to type in "news.ycombinator.com" instead? Or did you just want to see how deep the rabbit hole goes? :)
For people don’t know: Press and hold back button on iOS safari helps in such circumstances.
Long pressing on android chrome does nothing. Maybe just my samsung...

I disagree, I think it makes sense. It makes it possible to link to a specific slide.
You can use replaceState[0] to update the URL without adding a new history entry. [0]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API...
True, forgot about that. Yeah that would’ve been preferable.

IDK about android, but on ios I just force touch (or long touch on pre-6s devices) and select 'open in background'. Not that many clicks, imo.

But you'd have to switch to that tab, close the tab again, which is all at the top and not too easy to reach for my thumb.
I have to say Safari is better with having tabs at the bottom but that is not available cross-platform so I can use it on my windows based machines.
