Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?

  • Isn’t “It’s not you, it’s me” the ultimate example of parallel sentence structure? Lol

    But let’s be real, it’s more like…

    💔 Here’s three reasons reasons we’re breaking up:

    • Our personalities don’t match-- according to (made up citation) people with you type are toxic.
    • Your idiology doesn’t match mine-- you don’t believe in White South African genocide.
    • We aren’t compatible-- our personalities aren’t complimentary.

    And so on. Lol



  • Most people will download roms, which is technically illegal although with 30 year old games there usually isn’t much concern on enforcement (heck, even Switch games aren’t really enforced). The legal way is to dump the rom from the original cartridge, though, and there are tools for that. Honestly, as long as you own the original game I’m pretty sure you can just argue you have a license to play, though.

    Generally you can’t share links to roms on communities, although I bet some communities are cool with it (/0 maybe?). Try not to go anywhere that looks suspicious, in any case. Most people don’t malware Gameboy games, though lol. They won’t be .exe in any case.

    As for getting it to work, Android and iPhone have different emulator apps available on their respective stores. I tried MyBoy prior but tend to prefer Retroarch (which covers multiple systems, but is a like harder to setup). On Mobile, default has controls on screen so it’s pretty much plug and play though. It’s so much more convenient than digging up ancient systems, though!





  • Full agree on the screw situation, although my most recent mobi addressed that with a sort of… turnable plastic lock thing? And a built in heatsink and “shield” for the gen 5 and 4 ports, so I haven’t had any issues with heat. I get the sense we’ll have a better standard as time goes in though, Gen5 is really really new.

    But even the gen 3s are lovely. Maybe I just hate SATA cables, haha.



  • Mike Lee is a notoriously despicable person even by GOP standards and the bill doesn’t have any legs. Like, just a week ago he said terrible things about the Minnasotan politicians who were shot dead in their homes, and he’s also the one who was pushing to sell off public lands (which he was bullied out of; also seems to be in the pocket of the Mormon cult).

    The US stance on NATO is complicated under the current US regime but I doubt it’ll be by this assholes bill.


  • Does anyone actually think it’s pro-capitalism? Though the social psych equivalent to this is just the concept of the harvesting dilemma and the main lesson is generally pro government regulation (regardless of economics). Social dilemmas like this apply to any common good everyone benefits from, be it air quality, military defense, public parks, public safety, etc. (when explaining, I use a few right wing examples too, even if I am a bit ACAB myself lol).

    Basically, they simply don’t exist without some form of social agreement not to be a shitty greedy asshole. Government being the most obvious way to control that.










  • As far as I know, both numbers aren’t confirmed. We’re hearing 2k to 20k at Trump’s birthday party, and anywhere from 5m to 11m on protests. They’re still trying to tally and I only saw a 2m temporary number. That said, with Boston having like 1m apparently, it’ll probably be pretty big (they combined pride parade with it so it’s a like unclear how you’d count that)

    A more fun way to look at it is, the army parade had most of it’s route at 1 row of viewers. That’s… really really bad attendance. Lol
