I don't _think_ you need a whole Raspberry Pi 5 kit. It seems like an older Raspberry Pi 3b+ would get the job done for $35 or so. Maybe even a Raspberry Pi Zero ($5) with an micro usb ethernet adapter.

If I understand correctly, running a Debian-style stable repo would essentially require forking all distributed software and backporting security fixes to them. With many macOS users coming from a different communities than Debian users, I

I like SilverBullet a lot; it's similar in philosophy to Obsidian. The biggest issue I had using it as a daily driver is that it's a website; there's no dedicated app. I like to have Obsidian hotkeyed as a toggle on cmd-&#x27

> I wouldn't be surprised if Sony's next console has a cheap card reader to allow physical copies with a similar system. Modern games often require a day one patch. Functionally it's not much different; you need to downloa

Physical cartridges are just as temporary as digital copies; unfortunately. This is starting to be a big deal with the 3DS. Nintendo doesn't use ROM; the carts start degrading after a decade or two. The console tries to automatically c

Do you work for EA? Because they haven’t announced or released such a thing. A year ago a developer hinted there might be another remaster in the future, but it could just as easily be Generals as RA2.

Hardcore players generally use "traditional roguelike" for things that are like rogue and "roguelite" for everything else. As far as finding traditional roguelikes, a few big-name commercial ones are Caves of Qud, Cogmin

Many games that have unique shaders all the way up to the end of the game. Reconstructing the path of states required to get an individual sample from the end of a 100 hour JRPG in this manner seems like it would be hilariously computationa

This is part of an entire genre; solo roll-and-write board games. Here's some other popular titles you can print off yourself: PNP Arcade's Dungeon Pages [1], Dangerous Space [2], and Power Creep [3] (each of which also have year-

MK8 was also an iteration on MK7, with refinements to the handling, the addition of anti-gravity, and tweaks to items. It's certain there's going to be _some_ sort of mechanical shakeup. Mario Kart sells like hotcakes; I doubt the

Unfortunately the situation with needing to download huge updates is also occasionally present on the Switch. Several third party AAA games (EA sports titles come to mind) ship small cartridges and a require big downloads to the SD card to

IIRC Xenoblade Chronicles and Fire Emblem Warriors were the only ones I really cared about. Lots of people held onto their old hardware; probably wasn't worth excluding them. The biggest advantage of owning a New 3DS turned out to be t

It's dumb, but Terminal.app is about eight years behind every other macOS terminal in supporting true color mode. Feels like sort of a table stakes feature in a modern terminal, and makes me suspect Terminal.app is not a high priority

It's a little bit more complicated than that. The system is limited to displaying 4 colors at once, but the palette can change at any time. Check out what Phantom Shift does with a dynamic two color palette. https://wasm4.or

Do I understand correctly that KWAK-8 is designed such that porting applications from the fantasy console to actual hardware (or vice versa) would be relatively easy? That's pretty cool.

You can actually do this in PICO-8 to display up to 32 colors at once. https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=38565

TIC-80 is indeed a generally more capable console. The main reasons I'd personally pick WASM-4 over TIC-80 would be touchscreen controller support, more complete documentation, and better performance on resource constrained devices. (W

I use an A770 LE for PC gaming. Windows drivers have improved substantially in the last two years. There's a driver update every month or so, although the Intel Arc control GUI hasn't improved in a while. Popular newer titles have
