Now that I’ve discovered emulators are now allowed on iOS, I’m playing through the original PS version of Chrono Cross.

The ability to use save states and jump back into a session within seconds is HUGE for me. No vendor logos, no waiting for save points. Just instant save and recall.

Makes me wish something like a literal USB key existed.

You mean something like a Yubikey?

Build. Mode. Music.

Half-Life and its mods defined my high school years. I have core memories of TFC 2fort with Eminem’s “Stan” playing in the background. Of finding a server, adding it to my Favorites, and eventually becoming part of the community.

Valve’s eventual inclusion of voice chat elevated the social aspect to another level.

DOOR. STUCK.

I’m getting GlaDOS vibes from this one.

Real nerds learned how to create SP-MIDIs and structured them to degrade gracefully no matter how limited your phone’s synth chip was.
