Pokemon: The First Movie back in 1998.

I suspect you can understand everything about a person by watching how they play Duck Hunt on the NES. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

For people who don’t get it: Duck Hunt was the most popular game that used the NES zapper. The way it worked was when the trigger was pulled, the screen went black for a split second except for a square of white. The zapper read the screen to see if it was aiming at the square and that determined if you hit your target. It only worked on CRT TV screens.

Honest people played as intended - standing at a distance, using the zapper like you would a gun.

Dishonest people would hold the zapper right up to the TV.

Chaotic people would just point the zapper at something producing white light (like a lamp) and fire away, technically never missing.

At least for me, turning 30 felt liberating in a sense. You’re not really described as young anymore, and expectations of you are different.

I still care about social issues but I don’t feel pressured to be militant about them, and even if someone tried to exert that pressure I wouldn’t care. I can just say I’m tired if I don’t wanna do something and that’s considered a valid reason.

Dating? So much less pressure. I know who I am and what I want, as do others in their 30s. You figure out if you’re a good match pretty quickly.

Sure, it takes longer to bounce back from injuries, hangovers, etc and the simple act of getting up makes more snaps, crackles, and pops than a bowl of Rice Krispies. But overall it feels like I can live my life the way I want to and nobody cares. And that is a good feeling.

Yeah, but then he said “I feel happy!” and he lost me.

If this was in 2002, there were also only 251 or 386 Pokemon depending on when in the year it was done (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire released in November 2002)

Side note, everyone downloaded Techno Song.mp3 at one time or another. It was Sandstorm.

Ozzy Osbourne dies just weeks after farewell show in c/metal@lemmy.world

Pretty sure the show I saw in 2015 was also touted as a farewell tour. In which he kept addressing us as Toledo. Wrong city. Wrong country. Dude has been on the decline for a while now, and I’m glad he’s now at peace.

I created a toggle for the power LED on MinUI for the RG35XXSP (github.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/23871363

I absolutely love MinUI on my RG35XXSP, but I hated that it turned the power LED off. Initially I tried to fiddle with just disabling the part of the MinUI boot that turned off the LED, but then I realized that putting the console to sleep and turning it back on disabled the LED anyway. That was baked into the OS, and I didn’t want to recompile the whole thing just to disable that.

Enter this tool. It contains a script that gets set to run during boot to turn on the power LED and keep it on. It can also undo all of its changes by running the tool again. Since it does modify system files, I also figured out how to recover from any potential issues. I was unable to cause any significant issues during my testing, but the recovery plan is there nonetheless. Full documentation is available on the repo.

Let there be light!
