@jedlickavit talks micronation-building on our final podcast of 2023...
Wrist games NEED to make a comeback. There should be a wrist form-factor handheld console solely dedicated to these types of games. They don't need to be full-fledged games. Just have them be simple minigames as companions to full console or PC games, something like the Dreamcast VMU or the Japan-only Sony PocketStation and have it interact with a console or PC via Bluetooth, USB, or micro-SD cards.
Just please don't add any botnet features like GPS or cellular communication.
Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS cartridges use NAND flash for storage , not mask ROMs. Like all Flash memory, they "leak" charge over time and eventually lose data.
The Switch and 3DS card reader tells game cards to "refresh" themselves periodically. https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendo-switch-3ds-cartridge-lifespan.591607/
But, some users are reporting cartridges already dying, especially ones they haven't used for years. I wonder which of mine already don't work.
Just a reminder that you don't own any data you can't back up. Buying physical cartridges and game cards isn't enough if they're using technology that inevitably deteriorates over time.
Honestly, I would love to add pre-rendered cutscenes to the game. It would be a great way to experience the alternate universe where the Nintendo 64 actually had a CD drive.
Fyi, I haven't but I'm currently re-thinking how I do things.
Thinking of how I want to integrate rclone encryption
Also working on a post for @lsn
here are some cool peertube videos I found
- My backup routine (and why I keep it simple)
- Let's Talk About Backups
- 'Don’t eat my data - 30+ years of storage war stories' - Steven Ellis (LCA 2020)
Why wasn't I aware of this until now? OOT PC Port now supports 3DS models and you can toggle between the two at any time.
Leaving social.freetalklive.com for a #Misskey / #Firefish / #Calckey instance tomorrow, any of y’all know of some good instances for me to try that support free speech

Apparently the same thing also happened with Steven Hawking. He seemed to have actually died back in the 80s and was replaced with an actor until his "official death".
