itunes: if you click the play icon in this screenshot, what would you expect to happen?

1) start playing the album dark side of the moon by pink floyd beginning from the track "on the run"
2) nothing else why would it that's obviously what it should do


well you would be wrong. if you click the play icon it starts playing all your songs, in alphabetical order, from the point in the list where On The Run is.

EVEN BETTER - if you double click "on the run" it does exactly what you'd expect and starts playing the actual album

why does it do this? who knows!

p much any time a new tech comes along that would improve cars but only implemented by one team, f1 bans it the following season

they also change engine specs every few years so they had to go from small (2.4L max) naturally-aspirated v8's to even smaller turbocharged v6's recently

im gonna post seriously about emulators here for a second


they suck

theres a reason audio nerds obsess over chip tunes and buy old hardware and get program music on a SNES instead of doing it in loving fruity loops of what the gently caress ever

go and buy an SNES, or NES, or whatever you want, buy the games you want to play. if youve got some money to blow get a scaler and do RGB mods on your consoles

if not just go to goodwill an find yourself a nice big CRT tv (they're loving everywhere because nobody will take the things or even recycle them for free)

your nes will never be worth a thousand dollars but itll never depreciate either. dont use a loving emulator

ugh yes let me buy a bunch of old lovely hardware to crowd out my living room so i can remember why crt tvs sucked rear end and rca cords were a pain in the rear end. oh man so 90's, I need two people to lift my lovely tv. so 90's, there's a rats nest of lovely cords connecting to my tv so it looks like the tv is being supported by some weird dystopian life support. oh man so 90's, look at all the plastic shitangles I have piled under my tv that require me to get up to change the god drat games, and don't forget the controller cords you'll inevitably trip over!

we could complete the nostalgic wet dream by including a lovely vcr that eats tapes and blinks 12:00 all the time, a remote that only works when you point it in a very specific spot, and replace our phones with walkmens that run on 8 aa's for two hours oh man I love the 90's!!!!

gently caress that, just use an emulator or buy it on your Wii U

my favorite thing about the new ios 10 messages app is that if you use the ~*digital touch*~ feature and try to start drawing a cock pic or whatever, but you accidentally trigger one of the other effects like the glowy orange ball thing, this mistake will just automatically send and as far as i can tell there is no way to cancel it. also there is no way to stop gifs from animating (aside from possibly disabling motion effects in the entire os). wtf apple

I'm as spergy as they come when it comes to playing classic games in their ~purest form~ but even I draw the line at having a CRT in my living room.

Though lol if anyone finds an LCD acceptable in an arcade cabinet smdh

Also you solve the issue of cords by using the newly released Bluetooth receivers for the NES and snes that work incredibly well and even let you use a PS4 controller or WiiU gamepad.

And you also solve the issue of swapping carts by getting a flash cart.

I tried to go LCD in my MAME cabinet because finding a new 25" arcade crt was literally impossible until one day I finally found one and I can sleep at night. If you're gonna put an lcd in an arcade cabinet you might as well be one of those people that just throws two x arcade sticks in front of their plasma and call it an arcade! My stars.

I recommend just getting receivers for the nes and snes and just using the SNES controller on both.

that is not the same thing at all, there is a real tangible benefit to building your own arcade controls and there also are plenty of real tangible benefits to using an lcd besides ~*muh scanlines*~

i hate fake scanlines; i never turn them on. but 240p arcade games look like poo poo when blown up to 720p+ so i'll never like LCD for arcade games.

if someone made a 25" 320x240 4:3 LCD i'd buy one
