    There currently is a way to make this possible using emulation. These guys didn't want to emulate, they wanted to find a way to do it with actual hardware and the game disc.

    As a HUGE fan of FFCC, and with being disappointed by the recent Remastered version and how much it butchered the essence of the original, I love that these people did this.

    TL;DR - Donny Cates has had an awful year. Was in a car crash that has forced him to relearn a lot of things that he has forgotten, as well as he recently has gone through a divorce.

    I decided to go back to the start of the Krakoa Era for X-books and read all the ones that I just didn't bother to read when they were coming out. Luckily it's been affordable via Marvel Unlimited, so I've read Fallen Angels, Hellions, Cable, X-Factor, Children of the Atom, and I'm currently starting Excalibur. There's a lot that I just never bothered to read as they didn't interest me, but with Fall of X approaching I'd like to be able to read all of it.

    This doesn't count the ones that I actually kept up with like the main X-Men title, Marauders, X-Force, New Mutants, Immortal X-Men.

    TBS has been one of my favourite bands since I was a teen, and I've been so excited to see what this new album will sound like. I know most fans only like their first three albums, but I'm a person that thinks their latest records like the self-titled, Happiness Is, and Tidal Wave are their better ones.

    This is a band that is synonymous with emo from their younger years. I feel like they've outgrown that genre and have put themselves into a newer one, so I'm interested in seeing what else they create. Tidal Wave had an Americana vibe to it, what will this new one be?

    I'm really concerned with how topical it is. Futurama is a show where it doesn't need to parallel what's going on in our lives so exactly. Like the Alexa part at the end just feels like a lazy joke that new Simpsons would have, and it doesn't make much sense in the Futurama world. They have sentient robots everywhere, so why would the Alexa looking device just now be shown off? It feels so outdated in this world where they are vastly superior in terms of technology from today.
    The other gag that concerned me was the covid and the swab joke. Just comes across as a lazy thing. Why does covid need to be mentioned in any way in this show? This show has done such a better job in using some storytelling to mention topical things, but in an interesting manner. They dealt with Climate Change by taking a huge chunk of ice and dropping it in the ocean, that's both topical to mentioning an issue we're having today, and such a funny thing in terms of how the future world deals with it.
    Compare that to the swab joke shown, and I just am not filled with optimism that this current writing team understands what made Futurama work so well. It just comes off as new Simpsons writing in terms of its gags.

    The one that I've been using consistently is Diarium. It has an app for all platforms, on Android, Apple, and Windows, and it supports cross-platform journaling. The one downside is that you have to purchase the app on the different ecosystems, but once that happens you are able to sync them all together. It's been nice to journal before bed on my phone, and then be able to pull it all up on my desktop and look back at it.

    It also allows you to tag entries with different things like contacts, as well as embedding pictures or videos into the entry for that day. It also supports cloud backups through onedrive.

    All in all, I've been really happy with using this one. I find myself using the 'On This Day' feature just to see what I've been up to over the years and sort of put myself back into that place.

    Exactly. I just kept reading it asking myself "Why is he saying all this???" Like he's literally doing this the day before his debut show. This article is just going to make things worse. He's not taking any responsibility for it at all. Sees it all as just something that the boys in the locker room do, like it's not a big deal.

    I don't remember a time where a colleague was bit by another man in their locker rooms.

    For the first time since September 4th, CM Punk speaks about returning for the debut of AEW: Collision, as well as his recovery from injury, and the fallout of the Brawl Out at All Out.

    For those out of the loop, the 'Brawl Out' is a term used by fans to denote a real-life backstage assault that occurred between CM Punk and the AEW EVP's (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson).
