  • Nearly all Nintendo 64 games can now be recompiled into native PC ports to add proper ray tracing, ultrawide, high FPS, and more

  • Wait... Y'all are talking about X-Wing: Rogue Squadron and Star Wars Episode 1: Battle for Naboo, right?

    I owned those windows ports!

    They worked great back in the day - I had such a blast with them that I begged my parents to get me a shitty Logitech joystick! If you want to check them out, it looks like Rogue Squadron is only $10 on Steam; and Battle for Naboo seems to be abandonware, but it seems to be hosted on a lot of "better spread than dead" game sites.

  • How Republicans Echo Antisemitic Tropes Despite Declaring Support for Israel

  • I think there may have been a tragic misunderstanding... It looks like they were using X as a placeholder, rather than the noun that Elon wants it to be; but the sentence construction could have been clearer.

    Something like "I think X is wrong, but I want it to be legal for me to do wrong things Y and Z" might be a bit closer to what they were going for.

  • xkcd #2929: Good and Bad Ideas

    Jump

  • If you're into hard sci-fi and you're looking for a good read, they actually dropped a pretty good recommendation with that reference at the end - Larry Niven does a great job of blending real-world theories like Dyson spheres and advanced propulsion drives, with some of the more far-flung standards of the genre like an intra-planetary teleportation grid.

  • Boston Dynamics introduces a fully electric humanoid robot that “exceeds human performance”

    Jump

  • That makes a lot of sense, actually. I also saw "fully electric" and immediately thought of electric/hybrid/ICE cars, and my brain went straight to "hold up, did I miss the fully functional diesel-powered humanoid robot?"

  • TIL Ecuador doesn't have its own currency and uses US dollars, but maybe not the same US dollars you are used to seeing.

  • You're fine - I grew up in a rural state, and I thought they were super rare until I lived in a city where the public transit system gave them as change.

  • I feel like I would use it voluntarily if it put the sponsors in the "add a destination" menu. I tend to use Google maps for longer trips, and I try to add any stops on the way to my route so I don't miss them - if I hit "add destination" and it offered, for example, Citgo stations, 7-11s, and Dunkin Donuts on my route, then I would probably get gas and snacks at sponsored locations almost every time.

    As it is, though... Well, just having a Dunks on the way to the laundromat doesn't make me want to stop in and buy a coffee. Driving by ten of them "randomly" on my way to another state isn't going to make me any more likely to stop at one.
