Only read posts. I don't want to necessarily hide read posts. If it's interesting I want to keep coming back to it. Also if it's a junk, offensive, triggering, spammy repost I don't want to have to "read" it to make it go away.

Big shout out to the Gameboy Player add-on for the GameCube, and the equally brilliant Game Boy Interface which vastly improves the video quality.

Nice. Thank you!

After the issues with 0.17 server support last week I've been swapping between Liftoff, Thunder and Connect for Lemmy. But Liftoff is the one I keep coming back too. I've seen people touting wefwef which is a progressive web app, but the fonts are tiny for my old eyes and I can't see anyway to adjust it.

Tusky is my current preference, but have tried Megalodon, Mastodon and Fedilab. I couldn't get with Fedilab, the font sizes in particular were never right.

I had to take codeine for a week after getting just one removed and I was absolutely out of it. So, your mileage may vary.

"80% of all those who suffer from tinnitus have a form known as “somatic tinnitus,” characterized by the ability to alter the pitch of the ringing in one’s ears by clenching the jaw or applying pressure to the forehead."

Woah. I thought everyone could do this. I didn't appreciate that it was releated to my tinnitus. That's wild.

Doesn't work on Jerboa ☹️ At least I now know why my feed seems to be filled with these html image links.

Definitely. Nothing really caught my attention in terms of the used retro games, but got chatting to Alastair from Lowtek games who was really nice, and just loved the look of the blue cart. Plus any excuse to fire up the old front loader!

 

Tapeworm Disco Puzzle for the NES by Lowtek Games. Got this at Play Expo today in Glasgow, Scotland.

I'd suggest Löve, which uses Lua. It's a powerful language but equally easy to learn. You could also try Pico8, which is also a version of Lua. It's presented as if it's an old 8-bit microcomputer with a built in sprite and tile editor. I find Pico8 much more approachable for beginners. Python is another good starting point for low end hardware.
