I don’t think compiling from source is easy even on Linux. Whenever I try it whatever program I’m trying to compile just refuses to compile, even though I seem to have all of the necessary programs for it. I can’t recall successfully compiling anything other than suckless tools, which have basically no dependencies.

Isn’t AnimeBytes one of the hardest private trackers to get into?

Also, depending on where you live, reading digitally might be your only option.

I was beginning to fear the channel ran it’s course, this looks amazing. I hope it’s a sign Uncle Derek hasn’t ran out of topics yet.

I’ll check it out. I still need to read Elfquest.

Oh yeah, the Geoff Johns stuff. I didn’t know Halo and Hornsby was by them too. I didn’t read any of their books yet (I usually wait until a series is done or has a large enough backlog) though they didn’t give me 80s indie comic vibes when I saw them.

I think the old independet comics scene was just different, not better or worse. It’d be great to see more 80s style indie comics made again, but I wouldn’t want them to replace what we have now.

I think I actually like it more than Super Mario Kart.

No? It’s a metaphor for an “uplifting” story that’s not actually uplifting at all since it’s “about someone remedying the immediate effects of a sociopolitical issue that ignore the root cause of said issue.”

Sometime ago somebody posted a news story about X person/organisation paying off the lunch debt of pupils. That was an orphan crushing machine moment, why can a kid in elementary school have “lunch debt” in the first place?

This is not that, one could argue it’s not that uplifting but it has nothing to do with orphan crushing machine.

I never felt the need to use a GUI for it, it’s very easy to use.

Also the site itself is ancient, searching for stuff sucks over there.

C buttons are meant for camera controls so a good amount of games did have fewer buttons to use. And dpad’s positioning meant for most games it served no use at all. There is no reason both couldn’t have been on the same handle.

It’s not as bad as I thought it was yesterday when I wrote without thinking about it too much but it’s still a big step down from the SNES controller. There is a reason a lot of people prefer modern replacements like Brawler64

Personally I don’t agree regarding the dualshock, all though I play a lot more 2D games than most so I’m biased.

Personally I don’t see how Dualshock’s subjectively sub-optimal analog stick pla–ement compares to N64’s mess of a controller.

N64 has less buttons to work with than it’s predecessor due to this stupid three handle set up. And 99% of games are made with analog stick in mind, so I can’t imagine a scenerio in which holding it is at all comfortable. I don’t know what is there to like here, it’s a step down in every way.

360 is AAA slop, I refuse to recognize that thing as retro.

Doom is the best retro game commnunity.

Perfect Dark Remastered on PC is all I need.

There is no benefit to using Firefox unless you really like uBlock Origin and will not consider another kind of adblocker.

Mozilla is just controlled opposition lead by the same greedy executives as Google anyway, using it won’t make a difference. It’s at best 3% market share won’t stop Google from pushing their crap to everyone else either.

Problems of the modern web in general cannot be solved by just another browser engine. What it really needs is simplification. A way to make it do what it does now but faster and in a way that is easier to implement, but I don’t see anyone doing that in the near future.

I decided to push my gaming to only evenings because I was unhappy with how much time it consumed, so now I read during the day.

I don’t know if you play video games so this may not be helpful to you, but doing this skyrocketed my reading.
