  • Wheeler Yuta Gives Update On Death Riders Status After AEW Blood And Guts Loss (Exclusive)

    Jump

  • I like Yuta’s take on it. Their original mission statement was something like “AEW roster has become a bunch of clowns, we’re here to make it better or weed them out” basically.

  • When we got our first computer it was a Win 95 machine, with a copy of Encarta, Atlas. I don’t remember what word processor, but it wasn’t a full office suite.

    It was cool. We did lots of typing and using ms paint.

    Then we got a shareware cd. Hundreds of pretty useless games + 4 or 5 big ones like doom and transport tycoon, but it changed everything. Every day we’d try a new one. We’d mess around in DOS trying to get those ones working.

    Then 3D Movie Maker - the full version. It all really started to come alive.

    Then a microphone. Just messing around with sound recorder was like when we used to make “funny” tape recordings of ourselves, but without the hassle of tape.

    These are the basic concepts of what I think made computers fun.

    I guess the direction I’ll probably go shortly is the old AMD 2400g mini itx I have laying around. Put on an opensuse slowroll. We have a microphone handy. We have 900 games on our GOG account. I have an old intuos drawing tablet that might work. Add some of those education flatpaks - solariums and stuff. I think you can definitely do a modern version of what we had back in the 90s when computing was more than watching youtube.

  • Smash burgers I made :)

    Jump

  • Yeah, I’ve tried to make a smash burger by squishing down a pre-formed patty. It doesn’t bring the magic in the same way.

    Do you prefer natural immunity over vaccination?

    Jump

  • No they weren’t. Infectious diseases resulted in life expectancies 40-50 years lower than now. Dying at 35 years old is not “perfectly fine”.

    Jump

  • Does the top screen crop to the same size as the lower screen?

    I would have thought these are finally a decent solution for playing games like Contra 4 and Sonic Rush, that need to seamlessly go between two screens. But if the two images don’t line up then it won’t be so nice.

  • This (Disks) is exactly what I’d suggest for a newbie too. Just noting it’s not gparted, it’s gnome-disk-utility.

  • Amazing

  • Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

    Jump

  • Also did this with the first Monster Truck Madness and Big Red Racing. And Motocross Madness. Seems these games were just built for that. Only had demo versions though, so just the one stage to explore.

  • I think DS should take the final round - plays the DS and GBA library + relatively easy to emulate GBC if you really want to.

    And still the only way to play some games - Contra 4, Sonic Rush for example, are horrible to play on emulator but still really fun games.

    Do you feel AI is going to be as bad as the movies say?

    Jump

  • The movies depict actual AI. That is, machines/software that is sentient and can think and act for itself.

    The future is going to be more of the shit we have now- LLMs / “guessing software”.

    But also, why ask the question if you think the answer can’t be given yet?

  • Just keeping in mind that Mesen is a cycle accurate emulator (last time I checked it was the most accurate). So the ideal solution here would have been to install Mesen.

  • When my 4 year old is rattling on, I listen. The people we love are so easily taken for granted. If some horrible shit happens, are you going to be cool about having palmed off your kid into an llm because you couldn’t be fucked.

    This morning I listened to my daughter ramble about her dream where she gave a camel a pat, but then there was a nicer camel in another enclosure and it let her hug it. Every moment is gold.
