One of Sonic mania's lead devs is a notorious romhacker IIRC, and some other members of the team are modders too. They were hired by the one guy who knows what they're doing regarding sonic at Sega (can't remember his name right now) because he saw their passion and talent. It's one of the few good modern sonic games imo

Black Mesa is a HL1 fan remake. They realized halfway though that very long project that they couldn't sell it so they went to Gabe and he gave them his blessing

AM2R is, as it's name states, another Metroid 2 remake made by a fan. It's very well made and free, but Nintendo hit it with a lawsuit like right after they released the trailer for Samus Returns, instead of, you know, hiring the guy to make great 2D Metroid games

Bro I've got my hands full with two cats.

True but it's one that's usually handled and checked by technical people. Which is probably why they put it in the technical requirements checklist, now that you're saying it.

Mine supposedly doesn't. Never ever enabled Google assistant or whatever it is. I probably have some apps doing it stealthily while they're in use but at least they supposedly can't do it while the phone's in my pocket.

The base version, which was the only one available for a while, doesn't.

Phillips in electronics is what needs to die. They're always stupidly small and strip so easily

I might buy it to play one of the few games I have that just can't run on Linux

Obviously it's a legal requirement but I'm 99% sure it was also on the TRC. Like, even if you were to obtain the proper license to these symbols from Microsoft, Sony wouldn't allow you to use them on their systems.

IIRC Xbox were way less anal about this too.

Idk if that's the actual justification behind it, but IIRC, not showing other platforms logos is just a technical requirement.

Space experts have since pointed out that the vacuum of space does not sink heat.

I'm merely a casual Elite: Dangerous player and I could have told him that.

He's a genius btw

It's still a pretty big deal because rockstar games are huge and some people still have bad internet. I probably wouldn't have bought RDR2 on PS4 if it didn't have a physical copy of the game, precisely because I was keeping that console at my parent's place to have something to do there despite their terrible internet connection.
