Honestly, these kinds of features make me almost want to finally buy an apple device, but then I recall I don't want to create an apple account.

It would have still been the crash detection guiding him to the GPS location of the crash.

Perhaps if the iPhone hadn’t distracted her while driving she wouldn’t have been in an accident.

You see, I find the opposite is true. Today’s games are more story and less game, are much easier, and way too long. These older arcade games get funner when you realize you can complete them on a single credit. They are hard but that’s what makes them rewarding.

Yeah, I'm sure it was the crash detection and not the fact that his wife suddenly screamed while driving and the conversation stopped suddenly. And it wasn't a matter of life and death, the crash was light according to the article.

>He was on a phone call with her when he heard her scream — and the line went dead.

from the article.

I once got to play at a private event at an arcade where everything was set to infinite lives. I spent the entirety of the 2 or 3 hours at one machine (I think Streets of Rage) and we didn't beat it. That was definitely a quarter sucker and I regret not taking the time to explore the other games there. Having stakes definitely changed how you play.

Don't make fun of his sexdaily

So? The rating on a power supply has nothing to do with the actual power usage of the device.

One of my son’s classmates invited him to hang out for the day. I drove my son to his friends house and went passed the open garage. My jaw dropped. It was a fully working 80s/90s arcade. His father collects old arcade games, gets them refurbished and sells them or keeps the ones that were special to him. I got invited into their house and it was full of working arcade games. His father showed me around and said I could stay and play whatever I wanted. And I did. Best play date EVER.

Looking back (I was an 80s kid), it’s probably good that they cost a quarter. It slowed us down, made us really focus and prevented binge playing which is a critical consideration. Once Nintendo arrived on the scene, the binge playing lifestyle also arrived and it has only gotten worse. Some people can handle. I watched two guys in the dorms get kicked out of school (one for Starcraft addiction, the other N64 in general). It has enormously changed society, good and bad.

You mean the article that clearly links to the reddit post where this was first reported?

..because most games don’t support it. In the ones that do, it’s usually pretty impressive. Raytracing looks really nice in Cyberpunk. Elden Ring is supposed to be getting an RT update soon, I bet that’ll look amazing.

I have a mame cabinet. I certainly don't play it as much as my ps5. However I will never ever ever get tired of the OG Tetris. I used to dream about pieces falling

Idk, Cyberpunk with raytracing on vs off is a big difference.

But does it still go "dundundun" every time you press the A button?

Oh look another 'article' from an Apple website saving someone's life. Propaganda much?

I don’t always crash, but when I do, iCrash. Stay nerdy my friends. Lol

And you are right infinite lives breaks the fun of most arcade games. For me it was the simpsons. At this point I only ever play off one credit in the game and see how far I get

That makes more sense

Actually I finally fulfilled a lifelong dream and got an arcade cabinet. I only had it set to unlimited lives for a day and it sucked all the fun out because there were no steaks. I went back to quarter only and have a bunch of quarters lined up by the controls. This way you get unlimited lives but you still have to work for it a little which has made it fun again!
