They should open a business first, he’ll happily defend those with deadly force.
Plot twist. Going YOLO for this reason is exactly what starts the chain of events leading to your expiration.
An argument I frequently make about using an ad blocker is that I’d be more comfortable with ads if they weren’t so thirsty for personal information. I still stand by that, and I’m not completely convinced this satisfies that concern. Personal data is still getting slurped up, but now we have the privilege of trusting it’s completely anonymized.
Hey I found someone else with a mini! (Sorry, can’t talk, battery’s almost dead.)
I overcame one of my hardest by doing more for myself, by myself, than I would have with her around. I gave up a lot to be with her, and after the break up, I decided to embrace the circumstances and strive for success despite her. I did it to prove that my life would have ended up worse with her than it turned out to be without her.
With a mere 100 days left on my PS+ Extra subscription, an upgrade to Premium tier for the remaining time was just $5. That netted me both Saints & Sinners games for PSVR2 as well as a few others, including a 1 hour free trial of Demeo, which I fully intend to take advantage of.
Absolutely. Imagine how cool summons and area magics would be when they light up your room.
I never got into fidget spinners, but having parallax on my iPhone’s Home Screen probably had a similar effect for me. I’d just play with it every once in a while and enjoyed it. I’ve always been mindful of battery drain, but I consciously made an exception for parallax.
FF Tactics is a VR/XR dream port of mine. I’d love to see those battle arenas set up on my coffee table, with the ability to actually move the pieces around like chess.
I’m bookmarking this post because I’ll regret it later if I don’t…
So apparently parallax is quietly coming back? I’ve decided that’s now the thing I’m most excited for.
Why are they called gaming laptops when they don’t play the games themselves?

I never liked him.
Had a cheeky peek at your comment history and it sure seems like you’re at war with reality, friend. You do you, but that fight is never going to end.
I’m not really a fan of Facebook, but I’m kind of wanting a Quest 3 because the cost of the AVP and other headsets just reinforce how much of a value it must be. Maybe it’s just early days, but the AVP just doesn’t do enough of what I want from a headset at even half its price point.
I do want to see what an AV (non pro) will bring to the table, but I think Meta is in a better position to impress with their next Quest headset now that apple has laid their cards on the table. They could sell a quest 4 at twice the price of a quest 3, add in whatever new technologies that might afford, and still be insanely more affordable than an AVP.
I've been in the Apple ecosystem for pretty much most of my life, and I'm all for what the AVP is bringing to the table. However, one VR enthusiast Youtuber I watched recently (Thrillseeker) put down the most compelling argument against the AVP I've seen thus far. The AVP does well what all the other headsets don't, but the AVP also kind of sucks at what other headsets have learned to do well. At the price of the AVP, not only could you buy a Quest 3, but you'd have enough leftover to just build an entire VR Gaming rig to back it up. Then you'd have a setup exponentially more capable than what the AVP is offering.
It's been inaccessible for roughly 24hrs right now and I'm having a hard time finding any group talking about it. Was there a change recently, or some kind of an explanation posted?
Wish the DNC had told themselves the same before insisting which bed we lay in for another four years.

At some point, I don’t know when, Mupen64 Pro FZ stopped launching games on my Retroid Pocket 3+. I have the paid version from the play store, and my N64 games are stored as zip files. I haven’t messed with any settings (I think) and it used to work fine, so I’m a bit baffled.
Does anyone know what’s going on or if there is a fix? Thanks for any help.
Edit: I'm going to leave this here, but fyi this tutorial is also in a magazine I created on Kbin for Retroid users. (!retroid@kbin.social)
NOTE: This is a tutorial a made for r/retroid on Reddit. I am migrating it here.
Open the Mupen64Plus FZ emulator from android (not from the [retroid] launcher):
Step 1A: (In Perfect Dark)
- Bring up pause menu, scroll to Options > Control
- Set Control Style to "2.4 (Two-Handed)"
- Reverse Pitch: [OFF]
- Exit the game
Step 1B: (In GoldenEye)
- Start a mission and bring up the pause menu.
- Change control style to "2.4 Goodhead"
- Next tab over, set Look Up/Down to "Upright"
- Exit the game
NOTE: If the games don’t allow you to change to 2.4, it’s likely because the is emulator is acting like there’s only one controller connected. If so, just do these steps (1A, 1B) last. It’s tricker to do after changing the controller profiles for the game, but it’s possible.
Step 2: (Mupen's Main Menu)
- Access Settings > Profiles > Controller > +NEW
- Name: “PD Left” or something you remember. Map the following...
- Z: L2 (and/or L1, if that’s more comfortable for you)
- S: Start
- A: B
- B: Y
- Analog R/L/U/D: (Use your Right stick)
Step 3: (Make a second one)
- Settings > Profiles > Controller > +NEW
- Name: “PD Right” or something you remember. Map the following...
- Z: R2 (and/or R1)
- S: Select
- A: A (Optional)
- B: X (Optional)
- Analog R/L/U/D: (Use your Left stick)
Step 4: (Return to Mupen game select menu)
- Select GoldenEye (Don't launch game) > Scroll to Settings > Controller
- Controller 1 Profile: PD Left
- Controller 2 Profile: PD Right
- Share Controller: Yes
- Return to game select menu and repeat steps for Perfect Dark.
Now just those two games games should have a more traditional dual-analog setup. Launch one of the games and see if anything else needs tinkering or toggling to better suit your personal play style.
NOTE: Crouching in game is now done by holding the left trigger and pulling back on the left stick. (Unless you’re holding a sniper rifle)
Good luck!
Edit: I'm going to leave this here, but fyi this tutorial is also in a magazine I created on Kbin for Retroid users. (!retroid@kbin.social)
NOTE: I joined Lemmy yesterday and this is my very first post. It is a guide I made for r/retroid on reddit. I'm migrating it here because I might be removing my post history from reddit soon and I think this guide should be kept around. Since I'm new to Lemmy, if there's something I'm doing poorly with regards to posting, don't hesitate to let me know so I can improve.
Disclaimer: I’m not a coder, I just took the time to hunt down some instructions on various [reddit] threads and put them together. Feel free to comment if you have a better method. (Better yet, if anyone knows how to somehow turn this into a handy-dandy Siri shortcut, that would be outstanding!!)
.chd is a lossless compression format. It can better preserve the quality of things like audio while still saving a lot of storage space. There are tools available on Windows that will allow you to compress bin/cue and iso files to chd easily, but not so much on Mac at the moment, so here’s my attempt to lend a hand until there is.
Anyhoo, here’s the guide.
——
Install Homebrew to your Mac by opening terminal and typing in the following:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
It’ll prompt for your admin password. Just type it out and press enter. I didn’t see anything get typed out, but it worked anyway.
It’ll ask you if you want to install, so hit enter to approve and wait it out.
When finished, type out:
brew install rom-tools
If it fails, it’s because (congratulations!) you are a proud owner of an apple silicon Mac! Try this fix (which was mentioned in this thread. )
While still in terminal, type:
cd /opt/homebrew/bin/
enter, then:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin
enter, then:
cd ~/
enter, then:
touch .zshrc
enter, then:
echo export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin >> .zshrc
enter. You should be able to install rom-tools now, which includes CHDMAN: (Same as before…)
brew install rom-tools
Now you should be ready to convert bin/cue files to CHD, and this is how I did it.
In terminal, run this script (which I pulled from an old reddit thread):
#!/bin/bash echo "Will proccess files on directory: $1" cd $1 for i in */*.cue; do chdman createcd -i "$i" -o "${i%.*}.chd"; done echo "All done"
When you run it for the first time, MacOS will ask you for permissions to a bunch of directories. I just said “yeah man, I wanna do it”, and gave it carte blanch. I had a bunch of bin/cue files in my Downloads folder and this script just found and converted them in the same directory.
If you want to convert .iso files, run the same script but use “.iso” instead of “.cue”

Platforms I know that can use CHD files on retroid include PS1, PS2, Sega CD, Saturn, and Dreamcast. I hope this guide works for you.
Good luck!
