A little of column A, a little of column B.
Idk if it was because it was on an emulator, but when I played Smash for the N64 with friends, all I could think about was the controls felt very clunky and how much smoother Smash Ultimate felt by comparison.

But they can make a headrests that do that. My car’s headrests can tilt forward or back depending on your preference. And it was made in the 2010’s, so it’s not like this is a super old, or new, development.
Making them adjustable makes the most sense as it allows people to adjust it to what they need, rather than just designing for the average person. The seats themselves are adjustable; you can slide them forward and back, up and down, some even tilt them forward or back. The headrests should be no different.

Reminds me of the RTX 2060 KO edition a specific AIB brand did for Nvidia (maybe it was Zotac, too?). It was designed to be a regular 2060 except it used a very cut down die from a 2080 Ti.
Gamer’s Nexus did a video on it several years ago (pre-pandemic, I’m sure) and they tried overclocking it to see its potential. If I recall correctly they were able to push it beyond what a regular 2060 could do, but only in certain situations.
I wonder if this will be a similar story.

Sure, but it’s a start. It’s certainly better than trying to keep them on my laptop. And I do hope to add more forms of data backup/storage as time goes on. It’s taken several hours ripping all those games and I’d hate to lose them all.
I also have an external 4 TB SSD that I keep most of the games on (excluding the PS4 games because they simply take up too much space).

That’s what I’ve been doing. Been collecting various PS1-4 games on top of GameCube, Wii, and Switch games over the past year to rip and save digital copies for myself. Then I play them on emulators.
I have roughly a few hundred so far and plan to expand it further.
I have a NAS with two 8 TB drives in RAID to back them up and it’s already over 50% full. I want to start collecting OG Xbox and 360 games in the near future, but I need to get jailbroken consoles for them.

It’s a classic. Sadly, I couldn’t find it. I think I first saw it in 2012-13.

I have a hitch receiver on my sedan. I’ve been tempted to get a set for it because I think it’d be funny.

Edit: I’ve also thought about taking it a step further. My car also has a wiring harness for trailer lights. What if I drill in some red/yellow LED’s into the nuts so they’ll light up when I brake or use the blinker?

Alternatively, you can contact/ask the people who wrote the paper if they can send you a copy. Usually they’ll gladly send it to you for free. I don’t believe they get any of the profit from the journal subscriptions/purchases. So they have no incentive to withhold it from anyone.
