Thank you for elevating my vocabulary kind stranger.

Most films were all shot on the same film stock and developed and printed in a very similar way.

Uncut Gems, and I agree it was hard to watch, but a good movie.

Boy with Apple getting the prominence it deserves!! This is one of my favorite Wes Anderson films.

2 years ago I was certain a long range Model 3 would be our family’s first electric vehicle. I am now certain that a Rivian R2 will be that vehicle instead. As long as Musk is in the pipeline, making terrible decisions I have no interest in Tesla.

I too choose for this company to get fucked.

Currently on vacation in Mexico using their wi-Fi. (I have a pi-hole setup at home. ). Using mobile with iOS. Tried Firefox as well as Firefox Focus. Neither blocked the annoying bits.

Any other links available? Unable to read most of the article due to annoying popups and blocker blockers.

My mister plays 100+ different arcade boards/games. There is also a yet to be released MARS FPGA system which will play Dreamcast + systems.

Think of all the arcade boards!!!

Thank you for the thing I learned today.

Retro gaming brings a feeling of nostalgia for most that are into it. My video game life started off on an Atari 2600, so playing old games from my childhood is fun and a reminder of easier times. That being said NES provides a bunch of pick up and play fun games. Here is a short list of fun games to play.

Mike Tyson’s punch out
Mega Man series- Mega Man 2 has the most banger soundtrack.
R-Type
Alpha mission
RC Pro Am
Ironman Ivan Stewart’s Off-road
Super sprint
Double Dragon

These should provide a bunch of different play types and genres to figure out what types of games scratch your itch.

Not sure how you feel about emulation, but take a look at FPGA systems like the MiSTer or Analog Pocket. These use hardware/chip simulation to recreate a 1:1 real hardware experience. You can also use original controllers via adapters with 0 lag, so the games feel the same too. With one of these systems you will be able to play all of those systems plus a bunch more. It’s a cool system, highly recommended.

If you care to spend the money they do make optical drive emulators. These will trade an optical drive for an sd card. Kind of like adding an everdrive to a cart systems.

RC Pro Am is the home Nintendo version.

Are you thinking of Super Sprint / Championship Sprint? That game had either 2 or 3 wheels on the cabinet. Every trip to the roller rink included a couple games of Super Sprint for me. Great Game!!!

link would be nice for those that want it.

We live with a shiba, who is smart and occasionally stubborn. All (well most) treats in our house are earned. Sometimes sitting quietly next to the cutting board while I’m making lunch is enough to earn a treat. Evening bedtime treats are almost automatic, but I like to reinforce some of his commands with them. As a result, he is better behaved and he still gets to enjoy the treats.
