The Famicom came today. I'm happy to own a piece of gaming history.
Also, what game is this? Is it any good?

seriously, fuck USPS. there I said it

So a miscommunication led to me acquiring a Voodoo Banshee for free. What should I do with it?
-
Hm.. yeah I'm planning on building a late 90s gaming rig, though I'd probably upgrade too a Voodoo2 or 3 later down the line. I'll definitely see what the Banshee can do before I make a decision though.
@GoldLeader Heh if this had a v8 it'd probably be one of those 190hp 7 litre engines with a 3 speed auto in old Cadillacs.

Quick question: am I too much of a plans person than an actual developer? I feel like I'm all ideas and very little execution, which is kinda making me depressed tbh.

IM AS MAD AS HELL AND IM NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE

Been learning French lately, and I can indeed confirm that French is the most French language I’ve ever dealt with.

The original save battery in my Zelda 1 cart finally passed away today. It outlived its expiration date by a whopping 34 years.
-
Perhaps, but in the opposite way from what you're thinking. Your calculator battery probably lasted many years because the battery was quite literally not being used when the calculator was off. The save battery is however perpetually wired to the save RAM circuitry so that, you know, it can keep the data alive. I'm thinking that maybe Nintendo could have wired it up so that it doesn't consume battery juice when the system is on (and therefore can keep the RAM chips alive by itself), but even so, it would mean that frequent use would extend the battery's life, not shorten it.

This is a bit of a long story, but I’ve ended up in a situation where I need to produce a 5 page essay on France, a 2 page essay about my future, and two book reports, 5 pages each. This is gonna be a major pain in the arse.
-
Thanks for the great (and also sneaky) advice, folks. I have nearly two months to get it all done, so I’ll work my way through all of it through winter break. I have a French friend whom I can consult should I feel it necessary to do so. ChatGPT is totally capable of speaking Korean, but it simply can’t generate enough text to be helpful in any significant way.
Regarding the book reports, the two books need to be selected from a list of 20, my favorite two being All Quiet on the Western Front and Lord of the Flies. I’ll have to read them whenever I find the time, although I’m not yet entirely sure if I’d be able to generate five pages’ worth of text out of either.

Elon Musk sent Starlink satellites to Ukraine for free internet service.
-
Yeah I know, it’s just that the way he said it sounded like the satellites were on Ukrainian ground.
You pinged the wrong guy, by the way. Heya, @Bluejaye, I see that you joined before I existed in this world and haven’t posted a single thing since. Good day to you

Ukrainian coming up to a parked Russian vehicle: "You guys okay?"
Russians: "We're out of fuel."
Ukrainian: "Do you want a tow? Back to Russia?"
Total respect to that guy. -

Tragic. Hope everyone will stay safe.
@GoldLeader I suppose nobody is willing to up the stakes. It’s not always the brightest idea to stand up to a nuke armed nation under a “questionable” head of state.

What are some great games for windows 98? I've converted my Win 10 desktop into 98 so i'm in the mood for some classics

I played Sonic 2 seriously for the first time today. I went as far as Mystic Cave Zone Act 2 until I ran out of lives and the one continue. Damn, how am I gonna beat this without saves?

tried to type in dragon master on the vic 20. All that typing for no pay off. I have the data tape loaded and yet no dice.
Compute's listings make no sense

I’ve been dabbling with Kerbal Space Program recently. Nice game if you want to rip your head off trying to be a rocket scientist. I’ve so far managed to land a few kerbals on the moon and bring them back, but I can’t do it consistently nor do much more than that. Still, it’s definitely something to check out if you like tinkering with… anything.

Building spaceplanes now. I’ve managed to reach orbit then drop back down, but I don’t have fuel to go any further. Plane is heavy enough as is. I have no idea how people build interplanetary planes.
In response to your challenge, I built a satellite covered in an ungodly amount of small solid fuel boosters and put it in orbit. I made a rocket with a crew of about 10 kerbals and put it in orbit, making sure the two have intersecting orbits. I sped the game up until the two finally collided. It took way too much time and effort, but I think it’s a pretty spectacular way to kill a dozen kerbies.

Some kid who goes to the same hagwon that I go to was tested positive for COVID. School immediately made me go home and I’m required to have a swab stabbed up my nostril again. Good thing I’m vaccinated I guess, although I probably won’t be allowed to go to school until I’m confirmed negative.
