Last Notes npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I've got a 1TB drive that I had laying around so I formatted it and am currently gathering games to put on it. My Wii disc drive died some time ago so this is the only way I can play games on it. I need to get new GameCube controllers so I can play those games. I'm just thankful I have 3 Wii remotes and there's 3 folks in the household so we can still play multiplayer Wii games npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ The Wii to me is the last console for "the family". Currently setting up my Wii with USB GXLoader so that my roommates and I can play games such as Just Dance, Mario Party 8, and Wii Sports npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ oh yeah I'll enjoy that! I loved FFX npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ oh wow how have I never heard of this game? Reading the Wikipedia article, this sounds like it'd be something I'd enjoy. I probably saw it on the shelf and the title didn't peak my interest tbh npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ BIG F***ING NEWS! BLUE DRAGON HAS A PC PORT!!!! Literally jumping up and down right now as I read this article. Apparently it works on the Steam Deck, which means Linux support (even if its via WINE/Proton)! https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/blue-dragon-has-been-stuck-on-the-xbox-360-for-20-years-but-no-longer-a-fantastic-unofficial-pc-port-unlocks-the-fps-goes-4k-and-even-adds-mod-support/ npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I watched my father play this on the PS3 and I remember thinking it looked so beautiful. Never got a chance to play it myself but perhaps one day npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Now this is awesome if you like Mario Kart Wii https://youtu.be/slYzLXB2TP4?is=EfnSAx87lnNkC2QQ npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ First Dolly Parton, now Tim Curry 😭 RIP https://youtu.be/g1Sq1Nr58hM?is=berIv6ywbgLPTUCU npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Glad to hear you were feeling up to playing games today! Hope your nerve pain is subsiding npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I have the MSDOS version and it's a ton of fun! Made me feel like I was playing in a real arcade, albeit with a keyboard instead of a joystick and buttons npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ TIL that XScreenSaver has a hidden Easter egg where you can play PacMan and have it as your screensaver https://cdn.masto.host/retrogaidencom/media_attachments/files/117/109/821/154/965/473/original/ace142087d020f89.jpg npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ always love a free game! npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ imo the definitive version. Not enough people talk about Out of This World part 2 npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I would highly recommend listening to @npub1hj0…aev9's 5 part episode on Another World. He goes into the technicals and development history of the game and it's a great listen. Here's the first episode to get you started https://cd-rom.ca/pages/podcast/season1/episodes/episode18-another_world_part_1.mp3 npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ bet this would look great on one of my CRT PC monitors npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ can you not just default to 4:3? I'd never play retro games in the unintended aspect ratio npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ There's now a native PC port of the PS1 release of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night https://www.gamesradar.com/games/action/29-years-later-castlevania-symphony-of-the-night-gets-its-second-pc-port-in-4-weeks-thanks-to-fans-of-the-ps1-version/ npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I didn't know about this compilation release on the PS1. I'll definitely have to pick it up if I ever see it for cheap npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Somebody got #DOOM to run in MSPaint! :doomguy_smile: https://github.com/markrussinovich/DoomPaint npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ DOS haven: A website hosting modern DOS games and DOS development software https://www.doshaven.eu/ npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ kids at my school were more into CoolMathGames and MiniClip but same concept npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ never heard of FunOrb but I'm eager to check this out nonetheless npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Hey, does anyone know of an open source "smart TV" setup that supports all of the major streaming platforms? My roommates rely heavily on platforms like Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, HBO Max, etc (there's no way of convincing them otherwise so don't bother) and I'd like to set up something to bypass the FireTV OS cause it's slow and glitchy. Does LibreElec or something similar work for my issue? npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ but can it run Crysis? 😂 https://cdn.masto.host/retrogaidencom/media_attachments/files/116/961/058/153/373/399/original/e7eca73ff926fb8e.mp4 npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Cleaning up more of the apartment and found this! A loose CD copy of Fallout 2! I didn't even know I owned this #retrogaming #retrocomputing https://cdn.masto.host/retrogaidencom/media_attachments/files/116/959/982/748/370/330/original/d6f3e64832de4d54.jpg npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ my mom got me a copy of the DS sequel back in 2009 or so and I picked up the first game years later. It's the only reason why I want a 360. Wish I brought the 360 and Blue Dragon with me when I left my childhood home npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I wish this game got a Windows port. It's a shame that it's locked to Xbox. I've played both the original and the DS sequel. Both are fantastic JRPGs that I cannot wait for the day to go back to them npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I still have my FC30 controller from 2014 and it's still working great. Recently found out that I can easily replace the battery too if it ever fails npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I'm sure some kid back in the day actually had their Dreamcast and PS2 on their shelf stacked like this npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I've got this game on CD somewhere in my PC games closet. Have yet to check it out but it's nice to see it's on GOG. I went to see if I had it in my GOG library and I don't, but holy hell did I forget how many good games I have in my library that have yet to be touched. All of them were free from Prime Gaming when I used to have a Twitch Prime subscription or from random giveaways npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ it sadly seems like unless you self host your own PeerTube or something, there's always a bit of evil to these platforms. Odysee seems to be the least offensive and I'm gonna be switching to there from Rumble. I just hope nothing goes south with Odysee and I end up right back where I'm at now, looking for a platform to show my creativity on. npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ my mom has such a phobia of theseamd would always scream for me to move them somewhere Else. I love house centipedes just as much as the spiders. They help keep pests out and they aren't a nuisance (from my experience at least) npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ folks must've really invested in plasma TVs in your area if you've found 2 within the month npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ oh, I forgot that Apple used the same damn case for the PowerMac G5 and the Mac Pro that came out after npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ ayo nice score on the PowerMac G5! Do you know the specs? I bet it'll be perfect for Halo! npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Reorganizing the computer and found Quintavion sitting in one of my empty computer cases #catsofmastodon https://cdn.masto.host/retrogaidencom/media_attachments/files/116/925/319/259/618/601/original/850bc0910141074f.jpg npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I've played the updated version, Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, on PC and had a ton of fun with the classic Outrun mode. I always picked the OG car npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I never had a 3DO, but Capcom did sell a Genesis controller that was exactly like the one advertised on the front cover. It was great for fighters and anything that used 6 buttons npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I might have a physical copy somewhere but even if I don't, it's on my radar of games to play npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Hey, if you're on #GitHub and you want to download something from there via an old computer with a browser, but can't get the assets to load properly, replace the "tag" in the URL with "expanded_assets". You'll then be able to download whatever you need from the repo you're trying to access. npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ sadly won't be able to save anything without a trusty VMU npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ when I got my Dreamcast in 2016, I was really interested in the homebrew scene and Another World was one of the first that I burned onto a CD-R and played. It was pretty fun. I've also played Another World on MS-DOS, 3DS, and SNES npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ do you have an actual Dreamcast (I assume you do cause of Shenmue) but I suggest you play the fan port of Another World on Dreamcast. You can burn it to a CD-R if you'd like and play it natively. Second one in list here for the .cdi file: https://archive.org/download/sega-dreamcast-isos/CDI/nullDC/HomeBrew/ Sega Dreamcast tool for preparing CDI images for burning to CD-R: https://github.com/arthabus/DreamcastCdiTool npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ This is awesome! You can now make NES games in modern C# and compile to 6502 code https://www.opensourceprojects.dev/post/dotnes npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ oh no https://cdn.masto.host/retrogaidencom/media_attachments/files/116/715/351/580/706/284/original/7e2b0fb601de8d37.png npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I swear this game better be good and not be ruined by something like AI textures or art. Hate that's a real fear now with games npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ my roommate grew up in a very conservative Catholic household so she's never seen it and never gets any of the references but her girlfriend has seen the show so her and I make references and quote the show all of the time and it all goes over my roommate's head 😂 Some favorites are: "He's just standing there... MENACINGLY!!!" - Patrick, Hall Monitor (S1E7a) "Tuh tuh, Open Sesame!" - Patrick, Hibernation Week (S2E27a) Krusty Krab pizza song - Spongebob, Pizza Delivery (S1E5a) npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I used to regret selling a good chunk of my retro gaming collection, but at least I kept the ones I cared about, like the Dreamcast and SNES. I just wish Optical Drive Emulators and Flash Carts weren't so expensive either npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ too bad some folks might see the name and get confused thinking of the Google AI. I certainly thought so when I saw the word "Gemini" so thanks Google for ruining that name npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ which is the worse Batman movie? Dark Knight Rises or Batman and Robin 😂 npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ but fr get yourself a PS3. The slim one are pretty reliable and if you're into soft modding, you can do so and you'll be able to play PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP games natively on it npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I've played the first two games and they were really fun. Probably the first real open world games I'd ever played npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I think the recent #AI bullshit over the past few years has thrown me further into #retrocomputing. Especially now, since too many devs are using AI for their projects. I feel more at home using a Windows 98SE or XP desktop than I do using any of my more modern computers. No constant nagging or notifications, no random updates, and I have full control over the system (well, as much as I can have over a 25+ operating system from Microsoft, but there are third party tools to help) npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Hey, so back in the Win 3 and 3.1 days, there were built in tutorials on how to use a mouse. I would love to know if there are programs out there today that teach you how to use a drawing tablet effectively. I've always felt some sort of barrier of getting into drawing tablets despite owning several. My best friend is getting into digital art and I lent her one of my Wacom tablets and I'd love to show her a drawing tablet learning program if one exists. (1/2) npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Not in a million years would I ever thought I'd be saying this, but the NEW Bubsy game looks great!!!! https://youtu.be/H4bq6P8e5gk?si=wm0CLmJ-GuwPiepR npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ damn, I think we have the same desk, just opposite orientation. I love corner desks. Makes you feel like you're at a real battle station, especially with the 4+ computers I have set up at my desk npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I LOVED the Rock Band series. It's partially responsible for my music tastes. My dad and I would play the games all of the time together. We had the entire instrument set for the first game, but it was usually my dad on Guitar/Bass and I was on vocals. I miss Rock Band. For me, it was like karaoke at home. npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ HOLY ARCADE! npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ it's great! I played the PS1 version (emulated) years ago and got through the first disc. Didn't know how to switch discs on RetroPie so I never got to play the rest. I've also heard that the Saturn version isn't censored like the PS1 version so I've been wanting to see what's different npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ wish I never sold my Saturn but it was 2020 and low income meant selling off some stuff . I long for the day when I can play Policenauts on real hardware npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ as someone who grew up with emulation, I just always had a soft spot for it. I still have my childhood CD with a copy of SNES9x and SNES roms my dad got from a coworker back in 2004. npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Happy Mother's day to all the wonderful mothers on the Fediverse https://cdn.masto.host/retrogaidencom/media_attachments/files/116/550/807/589/893/849/original/c9aa4a10d2ee836d.jpg npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ woah, I didn't know Game Sack was on Odyssey. I used to watch that channel on YouTube frequently npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Someone once asked me why I knock on doors the way I do. Blame Lego Indiana Jones The Original Adventures. Later I'd learn it's called two cuts and a shave from some old barbershop song. You can listen to it here in this short (sorry, couldn't find a better version in non-short form but I also no longer have the game myself to record a clip) https://youtube.com/shorts/miZxuiHbthg?si=31wvPbDtZop3d7ir npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I can't get past the bad English wtf npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ #StarWarsDay What Star Wars videogame is your favorite? Mine is split between Super Empire Strikes Back (SNES) and Dark Forces (MS-DOS). I also like most of the Lego Star Wars games. https://cdn.masto.host/retrogaidencom/media_attachments/files/116/516/868/135/822/358/original/b0b62c29258aad75.mp4 npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ It's been 20 years since Neil banged out the tunes https://cdn.masto.host/retrogaidencom/media_attachments/files/116/396/057/300/538/828/original/308ee0719f3ff664.jpg npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ 27 years ago, this pirate was born. Born to play retro PC games! npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ My little brother (9yrs old) started playing DOOM ('93) on Xbox game pass and honestly I couldn't be more happy.

For the longest time, I only had GoldenEye cause I bought the console specifically so that my college friends and I could have some fun. But once the pandemic came around, I didn't have much use for the N64 so I sold it. I never really cared for the N64 tbh. I've always been more of a PlayStation kind of guy when it comes to 5th gen consoles npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ :guilded_lul: npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ The AI in Google weather is starting to make up words https://cdn.masto.host/retrogaidencom/media_attachments/files/116/245/749/433/080/113/original/bd61595208100294.png npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I bet. The wifi sucked back then 😂 npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I had connection issues with online matches back in 2021. I don't remember if KI 2013 has rollback but I was playing around the time I was playing a fighter that had rollback and I think I was just spoiled by how the feature made online matches smooth even when the connection weakened. I'm sure the base single player mode is quite alright. I just don't enjoy playing many fighters offline unless I'm playing against another human player. npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I can't remember if I sold my Killer Instinct SNES cart but I remember thinking it was the coolest fighter ever. I loved how there was virtually no load times and you kept your life bar the same from round to round (unless you lost ofc). Riptor was my favorite character. I've played the reboot from 2013 on Steam but I still like the SNES game more. Never played KI 2 or KI Gold on N64 npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I got a variety here https://cdn.masto.host/retrogaidencom/media_attachments/files/116/206/430/758/264/678/original/01370bb8cbae1c4d.png npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Super Contra NES to SNES Conversion - RetroRGB https://retrorgb.com/super-contra-nes-to-snes-conversion.html npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Are there any cool projects out there for PowerPC macs?

Well, they did it again for the VIRTUAL BOY! Technically, it's just the headset and there's two versions: cardboard (like Labo) and a plastic one that looks exactly like the original console. Too bad there's no controller replica. https://youtube.com/shorts/tQuYIJ9AeXg?si=Chu0iuwAB6HuQdMu npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ Tails was never the same after he dropped Sonic down a pit npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ as a kid, my local Pizza Hutt had coloring books and crayons and I'd like looking at the pages that other kids would color.

I never joined that instance not just because a good chunk of the mastodon community would be lost if mastodon.social ever went down, but also because I felt it could be a potential cesspool since anyone could join it npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ printer paper npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ RE: https://social.erambert.me/@macthemes/115943591671305230 Make your old 90s mac look like the Final Fantasy VII menus #note1l4n…c4c7 npub16q2pcng7gah97nz6nwsaynuldpqc8w6es8hzz7cwq0tawdc78dfs2hu9ev ☠ Captain Arcee ☠ I still use Office 97 or 2000, depending on the mood.
