The NES sesame Street games are pretty good.

My youngest loved sesame Street countdown. it was really forgiving and taught her basic platformer mechanics.

Marathon.

It gets better! Its actually a Sensor Watch in disguise!

I mean when viewed from the perspective of his world it makes sense.

He lives in a world where substance is meaningless and all that matters is appearance and bravado. I can appreciate why to him that seems like good advice. Just kinda bums me out people live like that, but I bet he’s happy having power and influence and money. Good for him.

I couldn’t and wouldn’t fuckin live that way and I will stick with my Casio a158, thanks.

Most of my friends I know who went the kishi route instead of a stand alone emu handheld when I was rocking the rg355xxsp have since ditched it and acquired some manner of handheld, some even just opted for a legit GBA sp with a flashcart.

reasons I have heard:

• Got tired of draining my battery

• My phone doesn’t have an SD slot and so I was not able/didn’t want to load it with roms

• it didn’t fit in my pocket or was clumsy to use on the bus.

Your milage may vary. I still have a couple friends still just using their phone and they seem happy so take that as you will.

I think you’re definitely right.

There was a year in college where my friends and I grinded the real smb2 when it was available on the Wii shop.

It destroyed us. I don’t think we ever beat it. We were stuck on the third world for most of the year and it was super deflating.

I still go back every now and then to get through it and even with save states it’s just a gauntlet.

I love it for that though.

I dont get the hysteria, personally.

I came here to escape the crowds, not migrate with them.

Wow, thats some wild hyperbole there.

GIMP really needs its Blender moment.

It is a long road, getting from there to here. I say make your own way. I have opinions about Trek that the larger community seems to disagree with pretty strongly but meh.

My unsolicited lukewarm take/advice is; don’t let them tell you whats good and whats bad, decide for yourself. Just like Star Wars theres a lot to love, and sure a lot to criticize. Sometimes criticism is fun, but I’ve long since left behind fans who make their entire relationship with the franchise about how bad X or Y is. Its exhausting.

For sure. Nobody hates Star Trek more than Star Trek fans.

Blender. I feel pretty confident in saying that there is simply nothing like it in the commercial world. Its feature set is unreal; its like the swiss army knife of 3D modelling programs. I can’t say enough good things about Blender. It has replaced so many secondary programs in my workflow and is slowly dominating to become my entire workflow.

It used to suck to use in the late 2010s and then work was done to overhaul its space-shuttle cockpit interface, and now it actually feels concise and usable. I freaking love blender now. Big time blender fanboy right here.

I appreciate that he managed to make both Star Trek and Star Wars fans very angry. That took serious skill.

Jeeze. Sorry to hear that. Love mine. Maybe the quality jumped with the 2+ 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I noticed that part too and just sort of randomly started equiping stuff. Usually I’m lost in RPGs so I’m just rolling with it.

All mac computer lab (rev a/b iMacs), locked down with foolproof. No problem; bring a zip drive and boot from it by holding down option at startup. Use resedit to edit the extension for foolproof and remove all its resources. Extension no longer works.

Reboot into a completely unrestricted finder. Good times.

Before it closed, the Brantford Computer museum here in Ontario had an amazing collection of machines. My wife took my friends and I there for my birthday one year and oh man what a trip. They had everything on display, from common systems like the c64 to really rare ones like the Unisys Icon. All up and booted, ready to be played with. But despite all these ultra rare systems the one that caught my eye was the Apple Pippin.

I grew up an insufferable mac fanboy (now reformed and agnostic), and as a kid I had heard tons about the pippin, but it was so obscure and terrible that I was sure I would never get to play one IRL.

But there I was, smile on my face, playing Super Marathon on that crappy pippin. I had the time of my life that day.

Thanks for everything Syd. RIP dude.
