I don’t have all my stuff plugged in right now, but when I did I used an AV switch or an AV receiver. For Dreamcast and Xbox, I recommend using VGA video if you can swing it, significantly improved video quality. But it’s getting difficult to find screens that take it as an input anymore.

Zip and Jazz drives had some serious data stability issues that would have sunk them anyway. I used them for school work and needed to have duplicates because it was a question of when the disk would fail, not if.

I loved mine! Did exactly what I bought it for, emulation on my TV and playing media from my server. Replaced it with a Shield eventually, but don’t regret backing it on Kickstarter.

Monument Valley 1 and 2 are great puzzle games.

I had the same assumption about myself before 2020. Turns out I’m way less distracted at home because I control the things that would distract me. So I’m much more productive. Was actually a huge surprise to me.

Half Life 2. Wasn’t a big fan of the first one, but the second had tons of hype, so I gave it a shot. The physics stuff was cool, but the gameplay, story and characters were boring and flat. And the “revolutionary” storytelling method of locking you in a box to talk at you rather than making a proper cutscene still sucks.

Strawberry jam. Made from the strawberries grandpa grew in the back yard, and like 9 lbs of sugar.

I’m running Pop!OS on a different old laptop, so I know the basic functionality works out of the box, but that I’m going to have to resort to the terminal to get the express keys mapped on the Wacom. And the NAS connection has been a second-class citizen; it’s been difficult to just browse to it in a lot of apps. I suspect I need to properly mount a the NAS as a drive for it to play nice. Neither are things I’ve bothered with on the Pop system since I’ve just been using it as a web portal, but I want the new device to be more functional.

That’s my project for this weekend or next. Gotta figure out how to make it play nice with my Wacom and NAS.

Non-adhder here. Not constant conversations, no. And not unbidden. I do have conversations in my head, and sometimes they provide answers that weren’t readily available to my conscious mind. But I often have “silence” in my mind. When I’m tired enough, that’s “no noticeable activity” or “just the steps required to do whatever the immediate activity.” Other times it’s a song or a “movie” or plans for what I’m doing later.

California has an indepenent committee that draws the maps. This action will require a statewide vote to temporarily override that committee’s maps for this purpose. I don’t think the vote would have succeeded before Trump won. Remains to be seen if the vote will succeed now.

Not just with every post. It updates your position every time you open the app.
