raises hand

As an owner of hundreds of Nintendo pieces from arcade to Switch… I’ve turned.

Original console or RPi3 with Lakka for classics on the Sony Trinitron, and GOG or Steam on Linux for anything new.

I’ll only stay at any B&B if they serve at least four-penis wine.

Don’t turn around… oh oh ohh, schau, schau

Der Neu-Führer’s in town, oh oh ohh…

I used to use Game Genie to make replays of already-completed games more difficult. By getting more entertainment from what I already had instead of buying new games, I was obviously stealing from the game publishers.

Purrfection.

This; works on Mull; there is no submit button, it just constantly refreshes the results and thus is slow AF from continuously juggling the data.

I don’t think that word belongs near anything referring to Trump, unless immediately followed by “grifter”.

The facts have conservatives terrified:

Harris is a pro woman.

Trump is a con man.

Run the VPN right from the device itself, allowing for DNS blocking of whatever you want. Previously, Blokada was used, now Rethink DNS is preferred.

He’s still in it for the fascist coup.

Employees can daily clean as much of the machine as they can access, and there will still be a bit of black biofilm in there (not mold). The same biofilm lives down in all of your sink drains.

First, they came for the cats, and I said nothing because I was not a cat.

Party of loving Israel and also Nazis.

Just because you put +5V, +12V, and ground on the Molex plug doesn’t mean the drive is going to be powered up and spinning. The controller on the drive controls the motors (duh) and may be shutting the whole works down if it’s receiving what it interprets as invalid or malformed commands.

I was trying the same thing years ago, with a mid-90s HDD, a dedicated power supply for it, and a couple different IDE-USB adapters, and never got it to work. The drive shutting down when USB adapter is plugged in sounds familiar.

You got it. The IDE-USB adapters will technically only work with drives supporting ATA-2 (EIDE and newer).

Maybe they’ve finally fixed those problems. In Lakka, I set my controller up once (for each unique controller) in RetroArch frontend, and then it works in any emulator core. I don’t think it’s normal to have to set up the controller in each core (but you can, if you want or need to!)

EmuDeck uses EmulationStation, in which I’ve seen a lot of controller-related problems. Controllers working in the menu but not in the emulators. Controllers working in the emulators but not in the menus.

For a dedicated emulation machine, I’ll once again shill for Lakka, that boots LibreELEC directly into RetroArch without EmulationStation, and has bootable installers for multiple configurations of x86_64 machines and images for loads of single-board computers.

Let’s just say “many!” The game is also proven Turing-complete so you can build a general-purpose computer within it, if you like.

My quick description of MtG to interested non-players: “One of the original CCGs, created by a math professor, like chess but you build your army from a pool of tens of thousands of pieces which is then randomized. Richard Garfield somehow patented turning cards sideways. 😅”

The way I’ve always heard it is that Conservatives will eat a shit sandwich if it means a Liberal has to smell it.

Man, if you thought 1998 had too many expansions…

Wizards of the Coast was bought by Hasbro in 1999, but only in the last five years or so have they really seemed to open the floodgates with all the Hasbro and other IP crossovers, multiple versions of every card, etc. It’s not surprising since other toy sales seem to be in a slump, but it’s wild that Magic is keeping one of the world’s largest toy companies in the black.

I went to school in the '90s. My friend and I thought the Game Boy game Final Fantasy Legend II was funny in the way that you fought against terrorists, dinosaurs, ghosts, robots, and germs, using magic and medieval-fantasy-trope weapons alongside muskets, SMGs, chainsaws, and even nukes! (Game devs and translators had to get creative with only seven letters and an item type symbol for the item names, to fit in the tiny amount of memory available.)

Our drawings inspired by this were often battle scenes with the likes of Hussein, Hitler, and Mussolini being shot, impaled, nuked, and/or decapitated by chainsaw. We must have drawn a thousand guns.

We turned out OK.
