  • 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.

  • Indeed. And that's not even taking account those discs are much harder to get a hold of and/or more expensive than the Gameboy Player itself!

  • I went to that particular shop every other week for a year and that was all I saw there before or since. If you have the time and can be bothered you might get lucky. But honestly, it's a total chore! In terms of opportunity cost it's probably cheaper to buy from eBay or CEX!

  • I've just been sorting out my PS1 collection. This was my best haul, just before the pandemic. £1.99 each from a charity shop (our equivalent of goodwill or thrift stores in the UK).

  • Oh absolutely! That's the killer app for the Gameboy Player IMHO. Properly felt like a return to the SNES days of 2D platforming, but with improved tech and quality of life. Love it.

  • Lol. I've only been following this from a distance because I don't have any real interest in Birdsite anymore, but hadn't appreciated that they themselves may have caused the increase in API requests that cause them to introduce rate limits. That's hilarious.

  • 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.

  • Recently I was at the dump an the guy in front of my had two full wheelie bins in his car. I thought he was the smartest person ever until I saw him try to 1) maneuver a full bin out of the car and 2) upend the bin into the skip.

  • The Mastodon instance I'm on has blocked all known Meta IPs as a preventative measure. So I imagine some admins will federate and some won't, and users will be free to join the instance that they wish to.

  • Oh no. #Jerboa is crashing on launch after the update :(

  • Nice. Thank you!

  • My old neighbour tells me that the person who moved into our last house has been known to chase neighbours down the street to insist they come in for a cup of tea. So I think there is a line here where it can become socially awkward.

  • 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.

  • Yeah, I'd say either repro (because it's not an official Nintendo manufactured cart/ or a homebrew cart.

    Good to see they've repainted the road markings on my street

  • 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.

  • Just received a letter this morning with the schedule of engineering works on the railway out the back. Every Saturday night in July plus the first one in August. 11pm - 6am. As if I'm not already going to be run ragged with the kids off. I mean, I understand why and don't have any fundamental objections. And being so close to a station is a big positive. But still. Urgh.

  • Ducks!

  • I snapped these little chappies walking the kids to school last week.

  • I've got sandals on. SANDALS. Does this answer your question?

  • 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.

  • TIL it's High School in Scotland and not in [edit: some parts of] England!

  • Busy, busy week ahead. The eldest is going to high school this year, so we have a parents assembly tonight and he has three full taster days, so the routine of the week has been thrown into chaos.
