Only read posts. I don’t want to necessarily hide read posts. If it’s interesting I want to keep coming back to it. Also if it’s a junk, offensive, triggering, spammy repost I don’t want to have to “read” it to make it go away.

Indeed. And that’s not even taking account those discs are much harder to get a hold of and/or more expensive than the Gameboy Player itself!

I went to that particular shop every other week for a year and that was all I saw there before or since. If you have the time and can be bothered you might get lucky. But honestly, it’s a total chore! In terms of opportunity cost it’s probably cheaper to buy from eBay or CEX!

I’ve just been sorting out my PS1 collection. This was my best haul, just before the pandemic. £1.99 each from a charity shop (our equivalent of goodwill or thrift stores in the UK).

Nice

Oh absolutely! That’s the killer app for the Gameboy Player IMHO. Properly felt like a return to the SNES days of 2D platforming, but with improved tech and quality of life. Love it.

Big shout out to the Gameboy Player add-on for the GameCube, and the equally brilliant Game Boy Interface which vastly improves the video quality.

Recently I was at the dump an the guy in front of my had two full wheelie bins in his car. I thought he was the smartest person ever until I saw him try to 1) maneuver a full bin out of the car and 2) upend the bin into the skip.

The Mastodon instance I’m on has blocked all known Meta IPs as a preventative measure. So I imagine some admins will federate and some won’t, and users will be free to join the instance that they wish to.

Nice. Thank you!

My old neighbour tells me that the person who moved into our last house has been known to chase neighbours down the street to insist they come in for a cup of tea. So I think there is a line here where it can become socially awkward.

After the issues with 0.17 server support last week I’ve been swapping between Liftoff, Thunder and Connect for Lemmy. But Liftoff is the one I keep coming back too. I’ve seen people touting wefwef which is a progressive web app, but the fonts are tiny for my old eyes and I can’t see anyway to adjust it.

Yeah, I’d say either repro (because it’s not an official Nintendo manufactured cart/ or a homebrew cart.

Tusky is my current preference, but have tried Megalodon, Mastodon and Fedilab. I couldn’t get with Fedilab, the font sizes in particular were never right.

Always have a soft spot for Genesis. I remember watching the repeat showing in the 1980s and being stunned when my Dad told me that “Ronson” was his art teacher at high school.

Spearhead from Space was one of the first stories I bought on VHS and I watched it so many times, so that’s a definite favourite too. Oh, and Ark in Space.

I had to take codeine for a week after getting just one removed and I was absolutely out of it. So, your mileage may vary.

Busy, busy week ahead. The eldest is going to high school this year, so we have a parents assembly tonight and he has three full taster days, so the routine of the week has been thrown into chaos.

Doesn’t work on Jerboa ☹️ At least I now know why my feed seems to be filled with these html image links.

Definitely. Nothing really caught my attention in terms of the used retro games, but got chatting to Alastair from Lowtek games who was really nice, and just loved the look of the blue cart. Plus any excuse to fire up the old front loader!

Also Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) is a thing.
