Someone eating bitey food off a boner sounds risky and scary.

Don't let Lemmy mislead you into thinking Linux is a drop-in replacement or easy to switch to. It's a difficult process that takes learning, but hopefully you'll find it worthwhile. Good luck with your troubleshooting.

I guess you better search for them.

This has really made me lose faith in a defederated system like this.

@Anyone: please let me know if I'm wrong about these and if there's a solution, but as far as I can see:

  • I can't export my account (most importantly all the posts and comments I've saved).
  • It's difficult to find where a server is based.
  • Some instances seem to be solo hobby projects. I don't want to pick another instance that is at risk of being killed.

Talk radio station. Starts at low volume and builds up slowly. Calm voices are the most relaxed sound to wake up to. Tried all sorts of other sounds and they're all too abrasive to wake up to.

This feels like homework.

Each episode is one continuous shot. They did each episode in one continuous uncut take. A take of the second episode was going perfectly and needed to be reshot when an actor said the wrong name right at the end of the episode.

My battery never held charge well in the first place.

When I look back at pictures of my kids when they were newborn, they look like little rats. Still were genuinely cute at the time. They just don't photograph well.

I don't know about iPods specifically, but Bluetooth transmitters (that connect to 3.5mm audio jack) are cheap.

Or if you're willing, you could surgically mod your iPod.

He wants you to throw the stick with dog attached.

This little handheld console has been so great. My PC and Steam Deck must be so disappointed with me.

Retro consoles set up video

I had been following r/SBCgaming for a while and never felt the need to play very old console games. But now it seems that these consoles have really come a long way in what they can play. I saw reviews for the Retroid Pocket 5 and thought it looked amazing. Then I saw the prices of the Retroid Pocket 4 pro and it was a no brainer.

I bought the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro on eBay for £120 (probably could have gotten it cheaper, but I rushed to buy this). The fact that such a tiny and pocketable handheld can run Nintendo Switch games (less demanding ones) really blows my mind. I carry this with me everywhere. It fits in pretty snug trouser pockets and is only slightly bigger than my phone (although my phone is an S23 Ultra with a chunky case). I’ve had it for over 2 weeks and I’m still in the honeymoon phase and using this instead of my gaming PC or Steam Deck. I’m discovering consoles I never owned (3DS and Wii games). The fact that it plays Android games as well is such a great bonus (mainly Balatro with save game sync online) is such a great bonus. It has WiFi 6, hall effect analog sticks (much better than the Switch!), an IPS display, headphone port, analog triggers, bluetooth 5.2 and a decent battery. This this has no business being this good.

For anyone else interested:

· If you’re looking for an affordable, pocketable console with good performance then the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro is amazing and I would recommend it. Buy this on eBay as people are unloading these to upgrade to the new console.

· If you want better performance then the Retroid Pocket 5 has a better SOC and much better screen, but is twice the price and much less pocketable. Order on AliExpress when there’s a sale/coupons.

· Buying a console like this is a bit like adopting Linux.... You’ve got to be willing to tinker and troubleshoot. It took me hours to set it up (use this guide) and I still haven’t sorted out Vita emulation.

This is a device I didn’t know much about and really didn’t expect to enjoy this much. If you haven’t come across these little consoles, definitely take a look! If you want to test the waters and see if this is for you, then starting with emulation on your phone will is a good way to start.

Started with a fightstick I bought for Street Fighter 4 many years ago. Now that Street Fighter 6 is out, I've become interested in hitboxes and have started making them myself.

 

When I first started I bought a fight stick. Now I'm finding it really enjoyable to make hotboxes.
