  • Hands down my favorite lately is Shadowrun (SNES) - the addition of SNES Mouse support. It makes the game so, so much better. That’s been huge for me, since the game is a point-and-click adventure. It’s such a quality-of-life improvement. If the mouse existed and was common when Shadowrun was written, I have to hope that they would have thought to allow it.

    Also, obviously there’s a huge community of SMW hacks, and pretty much anything well-reviewed on SMW Central, I’m liable to enjoy.

    In line with yours, there’s Pokemon UItra Violet, a great hack of Fire Red for GBA. Also Pokemon Naranja, another Fire Red hack that’s based on the Orange Archipelago.






  • I’m not talking about the immigration issue. I’m talking about what this article is addressing, which is a form of offshoring. Yes, they’re talking about it in the entertainment industry, but it’s the same problem across all industries. There’s no difference to me between using an animation studio in Canada or a call center in India. We need to protect our labor - knowing that Americans are some of the most expensive employees in the world.


  • More proof that we need a labor or service tariff. We shouldn’t allow US companies to employ cheap foreign labor without having to make up the difference in taxes. Every job in America should optimally either be filled by an American citizen, or just as expensive to the employer as hiring an American. In the rare case we don’t have a citizen able to do it, invite the most skilled foreign citizen on a work visa to be treated and paid same as our citizens.
