Hardly a week goes by anymore that we don’t hear about a new and potentially habitable exoplanet. Invariably, the study authors suggest that the James Webb Space Telescope is uniquely capable of observing this world to determine if it could host life—or even if there’s something alive there now. While it’s true that Webb is

Released nearly a year ago, and Konami still can’t get a bunch of decades-old games running right. Pathetic.
