The Tokyo-based Game Preservation Society archives floppy disks, 2000s phone games and other archaic media, but it has a warning for modern digital downloads, too: “When the service is gone, so are the games.” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/07/12/digital/games-preservation-floppy-disks-retro/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #digital #videogames #nintendo #sony

It might be a long shot, but I have to try.
If there is anyone out there with a scanner, who has issue 11 of Total! magazine, would you be willing to scan a part of a page for me.
Below is the cover of this issue as well as the affected page.
A previous owner has cut out a coupon on the opposite side.
That side is no issue as the ad is reprinted in the following issue as well, which I have, so I can replace that easily.
The problem is page number 61, where the bottom review for a Super Nintendo game is also gone.
If anyone can get me a clean scan of this part, I'd be able to complete this magazine without any missing sections.
Page 61 of Total! magazine issue 11, showing the lower third of the page has been cut out and is now missing.

Des nouvelles de la Switch 2 : Nintendo a changé le contrat d'utilisation, et si Nintendo PENSE que vous faites des choses illégales, il peut vous couper le service et bricker la console à distance.
Bricker des consoles, il ne l'a pas encore fait, mais couper le service à des clients, c'est déjà fait.
Et bien sûr, c'est aussi un moyen de détruire totalement le marché de l'occasion pour cette console.
Non merci.

Online outrage over the Nintendo Switch 2’s price, terms and features was loud but meaningless, as record-breaking sales showed once again that internet backlash rarely reflects real consumer behavior. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/06/25/japan/nintendos-switch-2-secret/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #nintendo #switch2 #tiktok #youtube #influencers #apple #internet
Eldest kid said the new Switch 2 games are really expensive.
e.g. Mario Kart World is $110 AU

still haven't found a NES VRAM/PPU viewer on macOS... so to keep track of things I've made the simplest tile allocator possible:
now I can refer to tiles relatively as they are in the asset sheet as TILE_BKG(tile_number).
feeling quite galaxy brain now.
