It looks to me like a 4:3 ratio video that’s been stretched to fit a wide screen.


Played 8 hours last night so this is a very early impression

HOLY CRAP it takes like 25 minutes to play through DuckTales on the NES, I guess I’m not used to modern games. 😆

Anyway, thanks for the great write-up!



Be specific about asking. If you don’t have a question mark somewhere in what you’re saying then you’re not asking a question. If you don’t have a question mark somewhere then there’s no expectation of a response. Does that make sense? ;)

Spend a moment thinking about what you actually want an answer to. Don’t waste people’s time with an “XY problem”.

Lastly, I keep in mind the idea of reversing the situation. How would I feel if someone were to come to me with this question? Would I feel bothered? Would I be annoyed? Most likely no, I LOVE helping with stuff, especially if it’s in a field of my interests. And if I’m being asked about it there’s a good chance it is. :D


I always find it fascinating when they have to make a trailer for an incredibly violent video game but still have it be approved for general audiences. It has to be edited to perfection, down to the frame, to show violence without any of the violence. 😅


To anyone reading this article, only the first quarter of it is about the beliefs and political stance of the developers. The rest of the article after that goes into more technical reasons.


It was years after the Switch came out that I finally decided to get one, and honestly the one game that combined me to get it was Link’s Awakening. I love that game so much!

Over the years, I ended up spending the most time playing Animal Crossing. I beat Mario Odyssey and it was nice. I really could not get into Breath of the Wild at all, or the sequel.


Oof. Sounds like it needs a huge back end with a ton of pre-processed data.


What is it? What functionality are you looking for?



I didn’t see anyone mention SailfishOS.

I bought a Jolla Mobile with SailfishOS when they came out and I LOVED it. It’s a fast smooth beautiful user interface, has Android app support, and truly is Linux. Like, it comes with a Terminal, full root access is easy to unlock, uses BtrFS, Wayland, the Linux standard hierarchy… It was wonderful.

The Jolla Mobile is pretty old now, but I think there are still phones you can get it on.


I assume you mean the Japanese thick blanket futon and not the American fold out bed futon?

I slept on a futon in Japan for two years. It was a couple of months before my body got used to it, but I was still turning throughout the night due to sore shoulders.

I can’t imagine sleeping on one without a true tatami flooring, since in essence it’s part of the bed.



My channel is not very good 😅 but I make videos just because I love talking about old video games and want an excuse to talk about them more. New videos come out every Tuesday and Saturday because that’s when my co-host is off of work and can watch them with her mom. 🙂

I’m really into retro video games. The channel I enjoy that the most that has the least number of subscribers is Jeremy Parish. He makes excellent little 10 minute retro game reviews. They are well thought out, include some interesting history, and no hyperbole.

Ummm… I also have a channel. 👀 In some videos I do longer reviews of Game Boy games.

And I post weekly videos where I play random retro games with my silly friend Samantha.

…I wouldn’t say it’s “amazing” but I do really enjoy watching the videos I make. 😅


In The Phantom Menace, the entire podrace scene. Yes, it’s goofy as heck, but man does George Lucas know how to make some pure campy exciting fun.

In A New Hope, the trench runs. God, they’re just SO COOL, especially on a big screen.

In The Force Awakens, Han being rescued by the Resistance, from the time Han Solo is captured to the time Leia shows up, is a masterclass example of editing and music.


I migrated to ProtonMail out of curiosity after more than a decade, but when they turned over the IP address of a fucking CLIMATE ACTIVIST to police, I decided to halt that process

Are you referring to this?

Notable cases involving Swiss court orders include a case involving death threats made against well-known immunologist Anthony Fauci and a case against French climate activists. After these cases, in October 2021, Proton Mail won an important Swiss court victory that confirmed that email services cannot be considered telecommunications providers, and consequently are not subject to the data retention requirements imposed on telecommunications providers.

It sounds like they followed Swiss law and then worked to update the laws to prevent it from happening again, all while never sharing the contents of any emails (which they can’t because they’re encrypted).


Any amount is fine. :) $5, $20, $100… I recently received a gift card for Ebay for $25 and happily spent in on buying $80 headphones that I wouldn’t have normally got.


I’m working on writing a soundtrack to a video game! It’s not finished yet but I’m extremely proud of the music so far. I also wrote this song recently just for fun. :) Made for the Gameboy using Carillon Editor.

I understand. Thank you for your response. :)

I’ve used Linux exclusively since 2002 for school, work, hobbies, and gaming, and I sometimes forget how much is still missing.

I tried Davinci for Linux and I agree, I could barely get it to work. XD
