It works great! I have only used EmuDeck, but it’s a bit complicated to set up and add games. There is also RetroDeck, but I have not used it myself. You can also just install Retroarch in Steam, but I wouldn’t recommend for games past N64/PS1 era, as there’s a bit of a performance hit compared to the dedicated emulators the others use.

What if I want to put my π-hole on your σ-hole

Your math is off. The Moon is about 384,400 KILOmeters from the Earth, not meters. So 116,485 seconds, or a bit over 32 hours.

Ha, I just made the image, didn’t write the text. Taken straight from the intro of The Horus Heresy: Betrayal At Calth guidebook.

This popped into my head and I had to make it.

Not for me. 😞💔

When I was a kid, maybe 13 years old, I heard about a Halloween costume contest at a natural history museum.

I wanted a costume somehow science related, so I decided to dress as a mosquito (seems weird to me now, but whatever). My mom sewed together a black felty fabric into a proboscis that went out over my head and a sort of cloak down my back with legs coming off it. We cut a Styrofoam ball in half and painted it yellow for the eyes. The wings were a white mesh fabric on a frame of drinking straws that we taped together.

I won the contest for my age bracket, and the prize was some Star Trek: Deep Space 9 refrigerator magnets. I don’t think I have the magnets anymore, but I still have the costume, though it’s falling apart a little.

Okay, I have to go text my mom and tell her she’s awesome.

This is a fairly niche answer, but Noah Caldwell-Gervais.

He does very smart critical analysis of video games as a medium, often in multi-hour long retrospectives of entire franchises. They are all split into chapters, so it’s easy to watch in parts. The visuals and editing are not very flashy, pretty much just footage of the game he’s talking about, but they are so well written and thoughtful I find them extremely compelling. There’s also road trip travelogues, but I’m not as into those.

Nuh uh!

Is this a video game specific phenomenon? Just an example, how many of an American “Top 100 Greatest Movies of All Time” are from India?

Wait, are you counting ovaries?

Loved that game! It would be awesome on a phone as long as they don’t to shit like locking extra food behind microtransactions. 😬

Replace numbers with letters, and you have Jorge Luis Borges’ The Library of Babel.

Lots of good suggestions already, but what first came to my mind is Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I’m not even into Final Fantasy and have only played a few tactical RPGs, but I fell into FFTA hard when it came out. The battle system was fun, with a little twist that there’s random laws you have to follow each fight (e.g. no attacking with staves) that can get a character arrested and taken out of the action after a warning. Nice music, cute art style, and a pretty good story as I recall.

I’m pretty sure that 100% of the people here and in the earlier thread agree that people are intrinsically equal, regardless of their skin color. It sounds like you think that because of this, anyone who supports any situation where people are treated differently based on ethnicity, skin color, etc is racist.

Let me try a metaphor.

Let’s say there was a group of people with all different skin tones. They are all going to be given money, but because the people running the organization giving out the money are racist, they give much more to people with light skin, and much less to people with dark skin. The people running the organization are replaced with people who are not racist, but it takes generations. The people with less money had to spend it all on food and shelter, and their descendants have none of it. The people who got more money spent some on food and shelter and had lots left over, which they put in a bank and got a lot of interest from it. It was given to their children, and their children’s children, and now their descendants have even more money.

It was definitely racist to originally give more money to the lighter skinned people.

Would it be racist to now give more money to the darker skinned people?

I was surprised to see Hades 2, as it’s still in early access. Not that it doesn’t deserve it.

Save you a click: it’s GameStop.

Aww, tiny armadillos!

Leisure Town

A comic, made with photos of posed bendy figurines. Was very influential in certain circles (like other, more obscure websites I won’t name). Still up, but hasn’t been updated in 20 years.

Shit, as long as I’m posting websites from the 1900’s that are still up, there’s also Zombo.com.

Makes sense that it would match the inputs on the Steam Deck.
