  • About acceleration: you’re 100% right. I can easily overpower my current wheel by overleaning it. But the more power a wheel has, the harder it is to overpower it and fall forwards.

    Wheels don’t actually have a “top speed” (technically they do but it’s impossible to hit), they just have different power. The more power, the safer they are and the faster they can accelerate and the better they can balance. A heavy rider may cut out at 22mph, but a 100lb rider might cut out at 30+.

    A heavy rider may faceplant when simply accelerating slightly too fast up a hill too, even at 5mph.

    Also, onewheel GTs can easily hit 22 today, and even faster for light riders. People just don’t like to ride that fast usually.

















  • Emulating old games is almost entirely safe. Sure it might be possible for a rom to have something injected in it that takes advantage of some emulator vulnerability but it’s extremely unlikely and I’ve never heard of it. Keep on doing that.

    Modern games (or any other .exe files) are very risky. And you may never know you have a keylogger.

    If there was no risk I’d pirate modern games. However you usually can’t play online anyway. And having all my games in one place on steam is very nice, with cloud saves and family sharing too.
