"it's 2023, most people expect online co-op gaming to be the default mode with optional single player"

Really? For me that would be absolutely the worst thing that could happen to a Bethesda RPG.

YouTube's 'Ad blockers not allowed' pop-up scares the bejesus out of netizens

Yeah I agree - I used to allow ads when it was 1-2 before a video. They started interrupting videos mid-view I started blocking completely.

AmigaOS 3.2.2 released for those feeling nostalgic

Re: Emulation Possible?

Don't quote this as gospel but I seem to recall reading that in a recent version they reverted this and they are now just straight ROM images. I think it was due to some licensing issues that were sorted out. I just wish I could remember where I read this!
