Does anyone have opinions on Revelation vs Emerald Cross? Both are vanilla+ experiences of Pokémon Emerald for the GBA. They both look very good but I would like to enjoy the one that that is the better vanilla+ experience.

For comparison, I'm nearing beating the Pokemon league in Polished Crystal and absolutely love the game.

 

On the Retroid Pocket Mini V2 can Rocknix be installed as the sole OS while completely removing Android? I've only seen reference to dual booting when searching online.

Well let's not forget big brother. Just know we live in a panopticon and we all need to band together to make change happen

Pokémon Crystal (Polished Crystal ROM hack). It's amazing. It's a Vanilla+ experience of Crystal. The most notable thing to me is It's now 60fps. Then all the QoL improvements but all the changes are within Pokémon lore. It feels like a GBA game now and takes my top spot as favorite Pokémon game

I like the QoL improvements and the whole idea sounds interesting. I'll give it a try, thanks for the suggestion

More opt outs... Everyone, just opt out of big tech

That's pretty cool. I'll try it out. Thanks for sharing.

On a similar note. Change your dark mode colors for programs or whatever to Solarize Dark. It's a combo of like dark navy blues and mustard yellows that reduce/eliminate eye strain. If you side by side it with the standard black background with white font you'll see a huge improved difference

One that supports the latest standards, though I'd suggest a Gl.iNet router if you don't know much about networking as OpenWRT is quite confusing.

The crappy road is from Colorado?

And it's an official flatpak! I've been waiting for anything better than that portable junk before.

[–] sic_semper_tyrannis 1 points 1 week ago

That is incredibly similar if not identical!

I'm in Mountain Standard Time in the USA. Hmm, looking those up the cicada larvae does look very similar. That's a great place to start looking deeper and then compare it to some local beetles

I'll have to go back and dig some more. This guy was under dead leaves but ontop of the soil. Seemed to be a part of the yard that stays shaded throughout the day and retained some moisture.

Interesting, cutworms seems to be a term used for various catipillar type larva, though none of the pictures I saw look to have the front 6 legs from my photo

 

Sorry I accidentally deleted my last post. I appreciate the answers the two people gave.

This is some big larva I found and the head looks centipede-ish but the body is short and fat with less legs.

I went through my images and found an old photo of a beetle that was on my screen door. Maybe it's a larva for one of these?

 

Hey everyone, I've been a long time photographer on a hiatus. Ever since learning about the existence of EQ mounts I have been excited to get back into photography and try the astro side of it.

I have a 300mm f/2.8 lens for my DSLR and am wondering if that focal length is any good. Thanks!

I don't use Discord much anymore and haven't used this program but this looks like a nice 3rd party Discord flatpak. It supports screensharing on Wayland. Just thought I'd share with the community

I just noticed today that Signal (not talking Molly) is now available on F-Droid via the "Guardian" repository.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

 

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a modern designed case (preferably SFF) that has retro asthetics. Examples would be the SilverStone FLP01 and Ayaneo's Retro Mini PCs.

Are there any reviewers on YouTube/Rumble/etc. or independent blogs that don't post affiliate links, aren't sponsored by the printer company, or had one sent out by the company? Those to me all seem like a conflict of interest.

Yes people need to make money, I'm not blind to that, but they can advertise other things that aren't a direct conflict of interest.

I'm looking to get my first printer and would like to get info from an unbiased source. I just don't know enough to weed through the million 3D printer channels.

The Sovol SV06 Ace seems nice with little research as it is large enough to print the project I have in mind and uses open source firmware (Klipper) which is a must for me.

 

I'm just getting back into Legos and recieved the 10317 Defender kit for the holidays. I would rather it have white wheels (I don't mind painting) and found that there was a past model wheel that came in white. The only difference is the axle style. Instead of the cross pattern it looks more like a half cross. What is this pattern called? Is it compatible with the cross pattern? It looks like it could be.

 

Anyone else getting Umbrella "No stream available" errors?

I had watched stuff, shutdown, next day tried watching the same thing again as well as other shows/movies and got the error. No changes to the program or service. Now the majority of shows and movies give the error

 

I have the Miyoo Mini+. I originally used MinUI and it saved games like a normal GBA and loaded the game to the menu everytime I started it, again like a standard GBA worked. I switched to OnionOS to have a nicer interface with boxart and now it only uses save states and auto starts from said state when opening a game. Not an authentic experience.

I have learned there's a difference between game saves and save states but don't know how to switch my handheld to use only game saves. Is it based on the core used maybe? Can anyone help me out?

 

I'm seeing family over the holidays and they really enjoy comic book stuff and video games. I don't know much about comics and am looking for suggestions on classic comic book based games I can load on my RPi and bring over to play. All I'm aware of are some of the Marvel vs Capcom fighting games but maybe there are others. Any ideas?
