Oh that’s interesting. I started poking around with a Gameboy emulator guide implemented in Python that intended to emulate a Z80. Got any good resource recommendation in case I decide to pick this back up and inevitably get stuck?

I’ve been playing MP3 for the first time lately and I’m excited for this next entry! I’m glad to see they have seemingly introduced a new nemesis, as dark Samus was getting a little old IMO
Oddly enough I’ve had the most success selling things on craigslist in the past few years. When I list things on OfferUp I get some messages but everyone is super flaky. People are still flaky on craigslist but I almost always end up closing the sale there instead of OfferUp
I don’t think it’s so much a concern about violating the ToS as it is the consequences of violating it. Valve may be able to lock the account or close it if they have good reason to suspect the account has a new owner. An example of solid evidence of this may be changing the payment method for purchases, such that the name on a credit card doesn’t match the previous cardholder name on the steam account.
But if the new owner doesn’t plan on making new purchases on the account, it would probably be more difficult to confirm the account was transferred.
Predictability in a chaotic system across various scales of time and space.
I like finding playlists that people on Spotify have made roughly around a particular band or genre. I find one and hit shuffle and see what happens. I’m talking an actual user made playlist, not the garbage Spotify “made for you” playlists. Those used to be solid until they started stuffing them with 90% songs I already listen to.
Sometimes playing the last song on an album that I like or one of my playlists gets some good stuff out of Spotify’s algorithm, but that is kind of hit or miss. It used to be quite a bit better.
I have been meaning to remove Marilyn Manson from my playlists and just now did. Thanks for the reminder
Not an ingredient necessarily, but I toast rice with spices before cooking it. I throw some oil and garlic in the pot I’m going to cook the rice in, then put in the rice and (for mexican-like dishes) garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, a little oregano, a little cayenne pepper, and salt. I mix that all up continuously over medium heat for a couple minutes, then I add the water and cook the rice. It makes an incredible difference in taste
Looks like a couple people mentioned this, but you will likely want/need to mod whatever system you get. I have a modded NES and Atari 7800, so I can comment on those.
There used to be a NES mod that fixed the pin connector issue, called “Blinking Light Win” https://www.arcadeworks.net/products/blw?variant=36483581116569. They’ve been sold out for at least a couple years (I’ve sporadically checked out of curiosity since I bought mine). But if you can get your hands on one I strongly recommend it. It has made my NES incredibly reliable and it’s very easy to install. No soldering, just open the console, remove the 72 pin connector, and pop in the BLW. Done.
For the Atari 7800, there’s a composite video/s-video board mod you can pick up. I’m forgetting what the name of it is, and I don’t have the manual handy at the moment, but I will try to update later with the name and link. Anyway, this one is more involved and requires some soldering. It’s not too difficult, just requires some patience, and it’s very worth it. Composite audio is a separate solution, but doesn’t require extra hardware, just a little more soldering.
I hope that helps! Feel free to reach out about these mods and I can explain further.
Here are a few I didn’t see already. I’ve played these all on switch.
Untitled Goose Game - casual and goofy 1/2 player puzzle game
Far Lone Sails - casual 1 player puzzle adventure game
Figment - light action adventure platformer one player game
Ah yeah, that’s been my experience too with Logitech. Such a shame because they make some pretty good peripherals.
Does the mouse need drivers? You could search for the model name and “Linux drivers” to see if the company offers anything
There it is! I was looking for this one
Sorry mate, that’s just not true.

Jesus Christ, telling someone to kill themselves is so beyond just professional considerations – it is basic human decency to refrain from saying such things. I hope he continues to work on his behavior and finds a more productive way to interact with human beings.
I’ve got something similar on my office door that reads
In case of fire<br> git commit -a<br> git push<br> git -tf out
I strongly recommend Mint Cinnamon for those coming from Windows. It just works and feels similar, though it’s not a perfect comparison and will require you to explore things a little bit. Even so, you should be able to run most things without the command line or worrying about how the OS and file system are structured
Atari 7800. I bought it from someone on craigslist about 3 years ago. The video was pretty fuzzy and audio wasn’t consistent, so I talked them down to a good price. I ended up modding it for composite video and audio, but I rarely play it. I didn’t grow up with an Atari, so I don’t have the nostalgia for the games, but I still think it’s pretty neat.
