No, Spinal.. No! You deleting old files and then realising you need them 6 months later, is 95% of your development woes!!! ;)

Mine would sit on your hdd and 'travel' from folder to folder checking how long since a file was last opened, create a nice list of files that hadn't been used in a while and politly ask you if you still need them, if not they'd be deleted.*snip*

Have it display all text in Klingon.
Back in the early 90s, I worked on a friends 286 and put one of the joke programs on it that would make the display be upside down. I figured I would get a call from him and tell him how to fix it, but the next time I*snip*

Nothing, for 3-5 years, then switch bytes around on the drive randomly, as well as filenames. Starting with sectors further along the drive so it's not as noticable a first until it's too late. The delay time allows the program to be spread over th*snip*

Machine Made Max

Fell down a youtube rabbit hole, now I really want to take Max back to the virtual assistant idea, but use peppers ghost to make him holographic.... But I just know I'm too lazy for that.

I hear you. This is only from $$ my Mom has sent for Christmas, and other things like the Orange Pi and the Thumby (which came today) are Christmas gifts from wifey. Ole' Kuron is back to being #BAF (Broke as Fuck)

There was a similar model by another company, but it was only dual core.

I'm pretty sure I'm out of the console buying market nowadays, not that I ever owned a M$ console, I certainly will be staying clear of them. I actually have enough games to not need to buy any / many more nowadays.

Keep in mind, hand issues and hands that cramp super easy.
Although they were not great for me, it was nice Nintendo tried to cater to every type of game and every style of controller, so somebody could use what they were comfortable with.

The GameCube controller was AMAZINGLY comfortable, to the point where Nintendo continues to support them via dongles, to this day.
On the C-Stick (right thumbstick) there's an octagonal groove, so you can lock the direction to the 8-way points.

Always preferred joysticks myself. I can do joypads (original NES weren't bad, although the corners cut into your palms), but I need to find something comfortable to hold. Lots of issues with my hands for many, many years.
My old joypads were great,*snip*

I had to look up the Game Cube controller. I never had a Game Cube, that is even WORSE than the N64 one. Dear God! Looks like something from a South Park spoof.

To be fair, up until the late 90s, all my controllers were joysticks.
Grab a firm hold of the strapping large black rod and give it a good waggle.

Yes, really. Only exception was the N64 as it took a while for third party controllers to appear. One of the most convoluted controllers ever where you needed to be a contortionist to use.
Original NES ones were okay, comfortable and reliable, but I qui*snip*
