Oh for petes sake.

I love old consoles… but old media (carts, cds/dvds) not so much. Flashcarts have been a revelation for me. I’m happy to help out the collectors out there by lowering the demand for original cartridges for my NES or gameboys.

And honestly its a much purer and more fun experience than an everything emulator where you spend most of your time setting it up and then deciding which game of all the games ever created you feel like playing right now. But I do also enjoy setting up emulator devices be they handheld or set top, and playing on them. I’m not a snob, it’s all good stuff and its a great time no matter what your choice, tbh.

I wish I had known about this game back in the 90s. What a sleeper hit. Easily in the top ten Gameboy games imo.

I always just figured it was a port of the arcade game. Imagine my shock after the first few levels it turns into its own amazing game with some zany puzzle platformer mechanics.

I ended up buying the cart because it was just too good not to have a copy of.

I love my sensorwatch!! I have an f91w and an a158w with an OG sensor watch and a lite respectively and they have been so much fun to mess with.

Glad to see the Pro is on the way!

To my knowledge the only way to “turn off” the menu bar is to run a program in full screen mode on a mac.

Some of us never forget. And the path it paved for the greatest trilogy in gaming (for Mac users anyhow).

Somewhere in the heavens they are waiting…

Joey hacks the gibson using some kind of intense graphical interface on Mac OS (7 maybe?) on his Apple IIGS.

Huh?!

Videos like that I’m always amazed the creator even bothers uploading. I’d be so fucking embarassed it would never see the light of day.

But I guess its sunk cost fallacy. Gotta get that content out there I spent a week working on. I guess I can appreciate that. Theres also something to be said about being honest about your fuckups. I was so embarassed for him I noped out of that video so I dont really know how it ended, but I dont recall there being much humility about it?

I dunno what everyone else is using pis for but for me it’s not media centers or servers. The pi has a full gpio header with i2c and spi. I can hook up LCD screens, sensors, servos, etc without much additional components. It’s like an Arduino except I get a real file system, network stack, multicore performance.

It’s more than just a single board computer it feels like an ultra microcontroller.

I feel like this whole “micro PCs are better than raspis” is coming from the group of people who never really used pis for what they were intended? I don’t know. Maybe I’m out to lunch here, I’m not trying to defend the pi because it is definitely a really bad choice for a lot of things but honestly despite all the bad blood they’ve accrued there still isn’t an sbc that can really match it’s utility and community support at least that I’ve seen.

Gotta love platinum. I miss Mac os 9.
