I wonder which game from '89 had a similar difficulty as My Name is Mayo?
 
Battletoads (SNES) at 4.46 and Spacechem (PC) at 4.52 for me

SEGA made games harder (because they are for gamers) m$ made them easy (because they are for $), is how i read this.
SEGA started as an Arcade company that made money if people spent coins so they had an incentive to make difficult games. Microsoft arrived at a time where people buy games they expect to be able to play through.
(Also here it's the hardware, not the game themselves so it's mostly third party developers)

Anyway, I'm not sure that the numbers from GameFAQ are reliable enough to seriously comment on games difficulty.
How do you compare the difficulty of a coin-op game, an Amstrad game played with a shitty joystick and a modern game with saves and difficulty settings?
 
I'm not going to do my usual rant but old games can seem much harder if emulation or controllers are laggy.
 
I watched a twitch dude play super empire strikes back and was baffled by how you could be so bad at the game while it felt off to me what was happening on the screen, the emulation complaint seems absolutely valid

I experienced a video game winter lasting 20 years because I thought I didn't like gaming. Actually crappy emulation ruined all my favourite games. Even on official Wii virtual console I never completed a single game. I hardly played Starfox 64 and I love this game to death. I'm super ashamed of having advocated retropie. Now I advocate MiSTer and wired controllers. Emulation is awesome if you have a high end pc though.
 
Talking about Windows 10, today support (updates) stops unless you pay for extended period of upgrades. Unless you are in the EU, you can request these updates for free but it does require having a Microsoft account.
If your hardware and conscious allows you, the update to Windows 11 is free-of-charge.
In case you are in the EU and have a Microsoft account, you can force extended support menu with this link: <link>
 
Not usre this belongs here on in the absurdism corner, but maybe it's not so absurd after all...

US preparing strikes on Venezuela:
Although Trump denies strikes inside of Venezuela, I would guess they might still happen.
And here they say the Washing Post says Maduro has asked Putin, Xi JinPing and the Ayatollah for help.
Then we'll see if anyone comes. I have this feeling, based in no fact a tall, that Trump, Putin and Xi have already decided that the Americas are for the USA, Africa and south Asia for China, Europe and north Asia for Russia, And the Middle east and Australia likely for China but later. But then how long it takes will depend on how hard people fight. Imperialist caprices are expensive, and unlike centuries ago, the planet is resource depleted and unhinged.
