God, I love Retroarch for everything it brings to the table, and I think it has some of the brightest devs in the scene working on it...
But god damn, why do they keep breaking features between versions?
1.0.0.2 was the last version with working SGB support in the BSNES core (no savestates support in the newer ones).
1.3.6 broke autosaving feature (autoload works, but autosave only works when you quit from the menu, not from the Esc button).
So... frustrating.

Humble Kecmo Today?
Yeah I don't trust Retroarch updates at all. Something I spent a while setting up always ends up breaking at some point.

Counter to it's aim to be the one emulation program you need, my PC is littered with different versions of it now just so I can avoid breaking the setup for systems I'm happy with.

On the positive side at least with no new bundle it's another good week for the wallet and the backlog....any of those BTA's make the BTA tier worth it for those on the fence for the 2K bundle??

Why are we even surprised there's no bundle on Humble?
Monthly will be up on Friday, they've been doing that for the past few months IIRC.

The Evil Within... more like... the evil... inside me...

Fun game so far. Iffy framerate (PS4, no letterbox). Everything more than two inches in front of Sebastian is super fuzzy. I'm aware of the supposedly poor CPU optimization the game suffers(ed) from.

The new Sonic track so really really good. Like it's so good I expect it to be sampled by a high profile artist and be a mainstream hit.

It's called, "Checkpoint."

Wasn't there someone talking shit about Seagate drives earlier itt? I bought a 1tb backup portable seagate drive, and the thing starts beeping as soon as I plug it in, and doesn't get recognized as a drive on two pc's I tried it on. Returning it tomorrow.

Iirc, I've seen the sentiment around here that Seagates are more likely to fail/die out than say WD drives.

It's not a rumor or something. Seagate are statistically quite likely to fail.

And this is right out of the box! Got it out, plugged it in, and device manager sees a drive, but explorer doesn't. And it beeps constantly. I don't even feel like troubleshooting, just going to ask in the store tomorrow if I can switch for a different brand. Luckily the drive in my pc is WD.

portable as in no power adapter?
I re-arranged a bunch of wires n shit a few weeks ago, and when I plugged back in my Seagate 3TB (w a power adapter) it started buzzing and not getting recognized. I freaked out; but it turns out I just had the wrong AC plug pugged in, so it wasn't getting enough power.
 
Western Digital is supposedly having higher failure rates most recently (2015-2016), but I'll still never trust Seagate with any of my data ever again.

I've had 3 Seagate drives in the last 10 years, and all of them died just over a year into use, within a few months of being out-of-warranty.

Likewise, I've had probably...8 Western Digital drives of various sizes in the same timespan, and the oldest one (a 250GB) is still alive and kicking almost a decade later.

My main PC will only ever have Western Digital drives in it (aside from SSDs, of course). I mean, it's still important to make regular backups, and to have redundancies in place (no drive is perfect) but anecdotally, I've had nothing but problems with Seagate. When they go, they don't gracefully die, either. They just flat-out stop working, with little-to-no chance of recovering the data.

No power adapter, just has an usb cable. I tried every port on my pc and a laptop, nothing every time.
