Fuck Nintendo

Its not a competition

It’s garbage for learning a language but it’s phenomenal for memorizing and gameifying learning nouns and verbs. I’ve been going through the Japanese lessons one jump at a time and it’s been great to brush up on all the words I’ve forgotten.

I hook it up to TVs all the time! It looks great on my 1080p projector on a 95" screen and perfectly acceptable on my girlfriends ginormous 4K TV.

My Leaf can handle itself on the highway and it’s the perfect amount of self driving that I want. I also didn’t need to pay half the price of the leaf for the privilege.

this is an advertisement.

I have been enjoying the original console I designed and built myself running a raspberry pi 5 and a fully built and compiled retropie that can crank out some dolphin and redream with full 60fps. I have plenty 90s gaming I need to catch up on.

For everything moderately modern, I have a steam deck. If it doesn’t or cannot run on my retropie or my deck then I’ll wait till the next hardware refresh. If it takes half a decade, all the better.

The important thing is that you feel superior to everyone. that’s all that matters.

Triggered 🤡

You feel good typing all that schlock out?

what the bootlicking shit is this?

Yeah but that’s FUTURE you’s problem, not current you, so it’s totally fine!

Sucks to be you then.

Linux booted on a machine from 1971.

Not a lot of updates in 2024 unfortunately. Is it dead?

QEMU is para-virtualization at near native speeds and supports GPU pass through for ya vidyagames.

I’ll switch when it’s fully implemented in open source and only I am the one with the private key. Until then its just more corporate blowjobs with extra steps.

As someone who was in the infantry and knows a LOT of soldiers stationed at the DMZ, this shit is not news.

Unfortunately your guide links to stuff on adafruit that’s out of stock - mostly the screen/microprocessor…

I found this guide that has a walk through with full code and an easy to use library for making the interface quite a bit better:

I’m going to be building two initially for myself and my girlfriends kid but once I work out the details I’ll post it up on the fediverse somewhere with the full code to get going.

I am much more keen to use C instead of Python for something like a clock although I’m sure circuit-python is fast enough, id rather stick to native libraries.
