It’s not technically retro but I’ve found Pico-8 a great way to build retro like games! It’s pretends to be a console of a bygone era and gives a bunch of restrictions on size of game and 128x128 resolution.

The app comes with a pixel editor, sfx and music editor, and a code editor built in. The games are easy to share and you can play them on a mobile browser. On the downside, it costs 15 dollars for the app.

Holy crap! That’s nuts! Hopefully they come back down for you

Has the price gone up? I bought one for each family member a couple years ago when they were getting rid of old stock. They were pretty cheap at the time. What’s the going rate?

Playing the windows version on Linux doesn’t really support Microsoft. It’s not like on the consoles where they get a cut of the sales. Even playing directly on windows isn’t that terrible. I don’t remember the last time I purchased a copy of windows. I’ve been using the same key for like 15 years now

I felt the ending was a let down that didn’t really make any sense… it also is a cliffhanger and I’m not sure this season did well enough to warrant a second season… and they commit the taboo of killing pets for shock value…

On the bright side, some actors really do shine and the plot is engaging. Took me an episode to get over some of the overacting and cheesy soundtrack. I’d give it a 6/10

Company currently uses IPv6! For awhile firewall rules kept biting us as we’d realize something worked in ipv4 but not IPv6 but now I forget it’s even a thing really.

I once paid for a vpc host that was exclusively IPv6 and was shocked how many things broke. I was using it for a discord bot and the discord api didn’t even properly support IPv6 …

You’re living in luxury, my fellow lemming.

Is this normally hooked up to the hot water line or am I looking at a refreshing cold experience?

Never had that, but I find this to be an acceptable compromise!

Every bathroom everywhere should have a bidet.

Isn’t central time a bit of a mess due to some states observing daylight savings time and others not? Is this 7pm daylight or standard?

Glad you could convert your partner to “the way”! I’ve always wondered if it’s less wear and tear or not. I’ve been using mine for decades now (daily…) and I’ve yet to have any problems.

First time I’ve heard of ploopy! I’m due to replace my current trackball and this is extremely tempting!

Absolutely agree! It’s especially great for small spaces and I can even use it while walking around if I need to!

I too am a trackball enthusiast! I have the same mouse even. (Not that there’s that many to choose from) I never seem to spot our kind in the wild!

Nice setup!

I love this stuff. Developers making an unreleased game freely available so people can see their art. They even threw in the source code.

One of my friends let me borrow heroes of might and magic. Through being lazy, I ended up misplacing it and it was either destroyed or lost for good.

Years later I bought him the whole collection on Steam.

At the time I was something of a fan boy for final fantasy, but ff9 was the first one I didn’t finish. I played through all the way to the beginning of the end… and then decided I didn’t care and that I was forcing myself to play a game I didn’t enjoy.

I don’t remember having the technical issues you mentioned, but I just didn’t click with the characters and the world felt meh to me. I can’t recall a single song that I enjoyed from 9 either.

X was probably the last FF I finished before the series lost its magic to me. (FFXIV was fun but a bit too costly)
