Windblown plays really well on the SD. Developed by Motion Twin, same folks behind Dead Cells. Rogue-like that plays similar to Hades but has some persistent upgrades like Dead Cells.

I like Wallabag. Snuggles in nicely with my chosen RSS: Miniflux

Yes. I have a Pi4 running NextcloudPi image on it. I sync docs, pics, even backup my Obsidian vault. It’s worked really well for Quillpad in my experience. On desktop I use Iotas (Linux) if I need to update from that instead of my phone.

Quillpad is the closest I’ve found. It’s simple markdown files. It can sync with Nextcloud as well. I use it for any short note or lists. Long form stuff including journal, I use Obsidian (not open source)

I have two of their basic VPS and they’ve worked well. My few interactions with customer service has been less than awesome though.

Have to agree with this. I’d love to use it and support what they’re doing. But the mobile client is bad. I also hate that the note files, stored in markdown format, are modified. The file names are not human readable and the contents are appended with metadata.

I’ve tried them all. I use Quillpad for Google Keep replacement (shopping/packing lists, etc) but have been using and loving Obsidian. I know it’s closed source, but the hierarchy of simple text files is fantastic and I haven’t found a FOSS alternative I like as much.

I hope there’s a deal exploit like buying 3 years of GP for $3-4/mo by using a VPN like I did about a year ago. If not, I won’t be subscribing and will likely get rid of my series X. I’ve been very disappointed in it anyway. Oh well, still have the original and the 360…

I live Miniflux but found the scraper to miss quite a few articles. Five Filters seems to work well for these cases

100% agree on ROMs for the super expensive stuff. I do like to play on original hardware whenever possible. And I definitely see more Everdrives in my future for those and the translated games we never got in the US. I was officially looking at repro SNES carts, for example and did buy one for Terranigma. But you quickly run into Everdrive price if you buy several repros.

That adds up quick, doesn’t it? I had my Sony Trinitron RGB modded and now have SNES, Sega Genesis/Master system, and a self modded N64 all connected to a SCART RGB switch and have already ordered the parts to get the treatment done on my NES. Looks incredible though!

I did picoboot instead of an ODE specifically so I could still play my admittedly small GameCube collection.

That’s a great way to put it and is why my limit is around $60ish. But even then I’m not paying that for a fun but basic platformer on a retro console. But RPGs tend to get a higher spending allowance from me.

I just sold my Dreamcast for that very reason. Well that and to focus more on Nintendo hardware since it’s what I grew up with. I know optical drive emulators exist, but for whatever reason I don’t like them as much as a flash cart type situation. Says the guy who has two picoboot GameCubes :)

He sounds exactly like the dude who taught me guitar. He’d balk at any modern (at the time, which was the 90s so Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc) when I’d ask to learn their tracks saying I should only spend time learning the “classics” which to him meant the Beatles, Hendrix, and the like. Not saying those aren’t classics, but I’d consider the grunge era to have a lot of classics as well. Seems like Rick is “stuck” in the same era and unwilling to budge.

My son and I had a blast with this one. We took turns doing runs through all biomes and found tons of blueprints and secrets. So fun!

Gnome with a bit of a macOS twist. I really like it. I’m excited for Cosmic!

First ever was #1, first one I beat was #11 though

Every madcatz controller I’ve used has been terrible. Xbox, Dreamcast, and PSone. Just terrible.
