This sucks and I've reached out to Dan to offer some advise (I've done a few little voice over parts for him in the past).
I think another issue that this brings to life is that Google AI is scanning EVERYTHING you upload to Google Drive and probably training it's AI software on OUR personal files.
So if no matter if it's a personal or professional account you save your personal photos too, chances are they are being used to train its Gemini AI software which is just wrong.
Back in the day the X68000 had fantasic arcade conversions and some brilliant Japanese text heavy games.
But now, the conversions are pointless because of MAME and unless they are going to provide translation patched games then the whole thing is pointless.
The long waits are one thing which they need to work on to bring down; but when the customer builds this into their expectation it then becomes a problem that's managable.
What is unacceptable is the shoddy quality of the products. The consumer grade DVD-R's being sent out as premium products is not just a flawed Q & A process, it's a company that simply doesn't care.
£2.50 to update a game that is £12 is taking the mick.
Plus every other game in the 'Arcade Archives' series is only £5.79; I think Hampster Corp is overestimating how much people will be willing to pay for KOF '98.

I did a dump on stream once.
I got banned from Twitch.
Re: Polymega's Next Module Plays Atari 2600 And 7800 Games
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
There is nothing worth playing anymore on either the 2600 or the 7800
Even though I remember them when they were new, they have aged far too poorly to of any worth now
Re: The Classic ZX Spectrum Series 'Magic Knight' Is Getting A New Reissue To Celebrate 40 Years
Red Herring.
Nothing to see here.
Re: Namco's Unported Arcade Classic 'NebulasRay' Gets Its Console Debut And A Steep Price Point
@Fallingshadow I'm fine with that.
To me, it's still a good price because I like the game so much.
Re: Boku no Natsuyasumi 2 & Racing Lagoon Fan Translator Teases Reveal At June Wholesome Direct
I think I speak for everyone when I say that the community, no, the world, are hoping this is "Dream C Club: Host girls on stage - Complete edition"
Re: Netflix Users Can Now Grab Street Fighter IV Champion Edition As Part Of Their Subscription
Probably the worst version of Street Fighter ever made.
That includes the ZX Spectrum version.
Re: 34 Years Ago, Nintendo Begged Fans Not To "Risk" Importing SNES Consoles From Japan
To be fair, I once blew up a Japanese PS2 by plugging it into the mains (UK) but forgetting to use the step down power converter

Most disappointing retro find this century!
Re: Company Behind The X68000 Z Range Wants To Know If Global Players Will Buy Them
No thanks.
Back in the day the X68000 had fantasic arcade conversions and some brilliant Japanese text heavy games.
But now, the conversions are pointless because of MAME and unless they are going to provide translation patched games then the whole thing is pointless.

Make it happen Namco.
Re: Interview: "We’ve Certainly Made Mistakes" - Limited Run's Boss On Winning Back The Trust Of The Community
@avcrypt I absolutely agree with your post.
The long waits are one thing which they need to work on to bring down; but when the customer builds this into their expectation it then becomes a problem that's managable.
What is unacceptable is the shoddy quality of the products. The consumer grade DVD-R's being sent out as premium products is not just a flawed Q & A process, it's a company that simply doesn't care.
Re: Random: Distributor Koch Appears To Think The Intellivision Amico Is Still Coming
Yep, and I'm sure the Infinium Labs Phantom console is still on it's way.
Re: Anbernic's New Firmware Has Opened A Can Of Worms That Could Damage The Handheld Emulation Market
I can only see this as a good thing.
Let's be real here, this just saves time.
Users of these devices are already moving roms from their PC's to there emulation devices via USB/MicroSD.
This new firmware just saves the users having to go through that step.
Re: Hands On: Quarter Arcades' BurgerTime Is Good Enough To Eat
Great game, but thats just not a form factor that lends it's self well to the pixel perfect ladder mechanics of the game

Re: King Of Fighters '98 Is The First 'Arcade Archives 2 Neo Geo' Coming To PS5 & Xbox Series X|S
It should be a free upgrade to current owners.
£2.50 to update a game that is £12 is taking the mick.
Plus every other game in the 'Arcade Archives' series is only £5.79; I think Hampster Corp is overestimating how much people will be willing to pay for KOF '98.
