You have a sudden power outage affecting your entire city/town, how prepared are you, and how long will you "survive" not having electricity?
  • I'm literally dead in about a week. All of my heating, cooking, and refrigeration are electric, and I have no backup supply or the means to safely add a backup. So I'd have no food, very little water, and I'd freeze to death.

  • Rat
  • He also played Gas in Existenz.

  • Honestly, not surprised
  • This one is actually classified. Nice!

  • How do you find genuine community in an atomized, individualistic society?
  • Meetup has helped - especially around RPGs and board games. Having a weekly group of friends meeting up with a shared topic helps.

  • It's been a rough year for Nintendo's Marketing department.
  • This is the revenge they deserve for Citra & Yuzu.

  • Firefox UI UX history
  • I'd never thought of using Waterfox. Instead, most of my browsing is Pale Moon & SeaMonkey. Are there any good guides to making Waterfox look like a serious browser?

  • Firefox UI UX history
  • I miss 3.5, and I hate the current Chrome-lite design. I want tabs underneath my address bar.

  • Operating sysrule
  • So I'm switching to TempleOS.

  • Do people who live in cold climates dream of a green Christmas?
  • I'd love to go somewhere genuinely warm right now. Normally it's okay though.

  • NYPD locking arms to protect Amazon and help break a strike
  • Glad to see the NYPD doing their jobs. See a line, cross a line.

  • What are your favorite ROM hacks?
  • It's a really fun game - and if you want a more typical action-RPG vibe, you should also seek out the Genesis Shadowrun game. The games are very different, but both are true to the Shadowrun experience.

  • What are your favorite ROM hacks?
  • Let's be honest, it's also everything CP2077 wanted to be.

  • What are your favorite ROM hacks?
  • I tried to avoid translations in my list. But anything by Aeon Genesis is also great, so is Mother 3 with the Tomato Ring. The SMT translations are a high point too.

  • What are your favorite ROM hacks?
  • Having only touched it once, Emerald Rogue is a genuine roguelike in Pokemon Emerald, though I don't know if it works on a flashcart on real hardware.

  • There is no propaganda in the west
  • Who did the most? I'd say probably the USSR by numbers. The US was a huge driver of the war effort, and used a blend of hard and soft power to push. The UK and (Free) France were necessary resistance and emblematic of the other western efforts. The Battle of Britain can't be understated, they were a huge stopping block. ANZAC forces weren't as prevalent in WW2 as they were in WW1 - they weren't the leading force, but they were present and earned every ounce of respect. In theory, Japan could even be on here as a catalyst - even though they were allied to the Nazis and did many horrifying things, had it not been for Pearl Harbor, the US wouldn't have gotten involved.

    But really I think it is either the USSR or the USA, with the UK a distant but necessary third.

  • What are your favorite ROM hacks?
  • Hands down my favorite lately is Shadowrun (SNES) - the addition of SNES Mouse support. It makes the game so, so much better. That's been huge for me, since the game is a point-and-click adventure. It's such a quality-of-life improvement. If the mouse existed and was common when Shadowrun was written, I have to hope that they would have thought to allow it.

    Also, obviously there's a huge community of SMW hacks, and pretty much anything well-reviewed on SMW Central, I'm liable to enjoy.

    In line with yours, there's Pokemon UItra Violet, a great hack of Fire Red for GBA. Also Pokemon Naranja, another Fire Red hack that's based on the Orange Archipelago.

  • GitHub launches a free version of its Copilot | TechCrunch
  • No such thing as a free beer, no more than there's a free lunch.

  • Hey, scammed any investors lately?
  • She didn't look bad either.

  • Costco boss warns of potential price hikes due to Trump tariffs
  • Yes, we know. Goods that are made in America by Americans are expensive. And if they mean that they're going to be affected by the import tariffs, then I'll be just as happy not to buy as much from Costco, just the same as I'll be doing at Wal-Mart, Target, or any other stores that refuse to support quality American businesses in favor of cheap foreign stuff.
