    I’m not a retro gamer, but I also don’t really understand the appeal of 1:1 PC ports - in my mind you’d either want to go for the full experience with the original console and controllers, the CRT TVs they were designed for etc, or if you really wanted to play it on a modern device emulators fit the bill perfectly. Is there something special about the original code being ported to x86? At least remasters try to take some advantage of that modern hardware, although I understand it’s not the “same” game







  • Congratulations, now your “good” servers are dead from the extra load and you also have a queue of shit to go through once you’re back up, making the problem worse. Running a terabit-scale proxy network isn’t exactly easy, the amount of moving parts interacting with each other is insane. I highly suggest reading some of their postmortems, they’re usually really well written and very informative if you want to learn more about the failures they’ve encountered, the processes to handle them, and their immediate remediations
