Yep, all good points @ruby_witch. I haven't tried books, will have to try so. I wonder if it makes a difference if you're logged in or not? even still, a week is not long enough. · 1 year ago
It's interesting that the Archive doesn't keep your place in videos, because it does for books! I read a lot on there, and it stores your current page in a local cookie. But the cookie expires after about a week, so don't take too long getting back to your book!
The lack of controller support has always been a pain too, and sometimes figuring out what keyboard inputs the controls are mapped to for each game can be a game in itself... You could try mapping keyboard inputs to your controller but that's a lot to go through due to one site's accessibility issues!
Overall though, the Archive is my favorite site on http! But it's not perfect... · 1 year ago
