@Arlieth I joined the Makoto Discord for tech but also so I could sit and read banter like this all day instead of only when you repost it
I fucking love it there
@A_dmg04 Ties in SRL should literally never happen. That it's happening frequently is a joke to the mode. Mario Kart rubberbanding in D1 SRL was one thing, but this is Mario Party-grade shenanigans. Turn that shit off.
@MartinRefseth I had a feeling this would happen and I was the only one in my F1 group saying so. Gasly didn't serve the penalties, weirdly making Alpine the only one able to appeal what was a pretty clear case of pit lane misconfig. The others served and waived their right to appeal.
@CoachCrage@retrotink2 Sold my original one for 350 thinking I was getting away from Pocket.
Bought a new one with this wave because I missed it so much.
@gamrjerome Supposedly the pro version bundled with the system is using a TMR stick and is moderately distinct from this Hyperkin example (albeit to what extent, who knows for sure at this point).
@NoGoodCitizen Plus, bit rot is real and the vast majority of optical media is living on borrowed time in a way cartridges are not. And while CDX isn't an ODE candidate, it does illustrate that it's not always a simple process to repair/replace lasers.
