North American or Non-American colours?

Yes, her bed is a just over a metre from the wall, so need a space saver.
The idea came from a Noah’s Ark playset I had when I was a kid. The Ark folded out to become like a similarly shallow zoo.
A few bits of velcro stuck with adhesive backing. She’s very careful, but yeah don’t want to risk it.
Also Rex Krueger is worth having on the list https://m.youtube.com/@RexKrueger
I’ve bought various keyboard parts as well as batteries for Vita and DS Lite. Ask of it arrived to me in Australia as expected and was fine quality/working condition.
My partner bought me one last month, so it’s still new but I don’t think I’ve stopped playing it. I can’t make time to sit at my pc unless I’m working, all my time is spent with the kids or in my workshop. So I can finally play games again.
Yes, it’s great, one of my favourites on the Sega. Far more fun than the SNES adventure game.
I start as a decker. I think he might move a little faster to begin with which helps keep ahead of the gangs in the starting area. When they come, you can zig zag away from them to stay ahead, just keep doing that having them chase you around town in circles, taking pot shots when it’s safe. Some of the gangers drop medkits when they die, I sell these to more quickly get a better gun/armour.
There’s no value to killing civilians, you might even lose karma, just don’t do it.
With the shadowruns, just keep walking into Mr Johnson’s booth, if it’s a ghoul run, cancel the conversation and walk back in again. Most of the runs offered should be simple escort missions or courier jobs.
Once you get some karma and boost some stats a bit, and buy a better gun, you’ll have more survivability. Then you can take on some ghoul runs, which are the easiest way to make quick cash early on - get your negotiation up a few points and only take the run if it pays okay. Don’t bother taking a run that pays 15nuyen per ghoul for example, that’s a waste of your time.
Don’t upgrade your pistol/shotgun/SMG skills. Only upgrade firearms. The sub categories of firearms will go up to whatever your firearm skill is when you do upgrade it. (ie If you put a point in pistol, then you will continue to raise that skill as usual. But if you get firearm up to level 10 and then upgrade pistol, or smg, or shotgun, it will go straight to level 10 as well)
You can pretty easily get the Ares Predator after not too many simple runs. You’ll get familiar with so the places doing these runs, but:
Shiawase nuke plant = South
Halloweeners = South East
Chop shop = East
Abandoned building = north East
Prison = west
Coffin motel = centre
Weapons shop = centre/east
The two pubs are north west
Boris greenhouse = north/north east
One more place south west, can’t remember what they call it
Some more modern run and guns - Blazing Chrome and Huntdown. Both of those are a good time.
It’s not retroarch. If you have been in emulation for a while that’s enough right there. No one is reusing retroarch cores here.
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Ares
If you don’t want to spend 3 hours setting up an emulator, ares is basically just: open software, click to open what you want to play. The interface isn’t trying to reinvent a weird ps3 or Switch hybrid on your pc. It is similar to regular desktop software ui you might have used during your life.
Ares was developed by Near (rip). If you don’t know who that is, it’s a shame, but I’m not going to go into it here. It’s now maintained by people continuing Near’s work on trying to achieve cycle accurate, preservation quality emulation.
Some of the emulation cores, SNES, 32x, N64, MegaDrive and Sega CD are the best in class, by a wide margin. Turbografx is comparable if not better than mednafen. SNES especially good since that was Near’s main focus for many years - you might know it as bsnes or higan from before they started pushing the ares emulator more before they died.
Some systems are definitely best played elsewhere (mgba is better for gba, Stella is better for 2600, Duckstation for ps1, Sameboy for gameboy colour). But that defeats the purpose of your question. For the sake of having all the emulation in one place, ares usually do fine with these.
It can be taxing. If you are running an older underpowered machine, you might not have a good time.
Depending what systems you want to emulate, just use ares.
Killed Facebook because the people who were into it and enjoyed using it… stopped using it 10 years ago. If I were to log into my Facebook account right now, I would see my mum posting Sovereign Citizen stuff. My aunty sharing photo after photo of my nephews and nieces. My other aunty talking about her later life crisis holidays to South Africa. And advertisement after advertisement for random junk.
If I’m lucky, one of my friends will have posted something like “Photo from Butterfly Effect reunion last night. These guys still kick ass”
“Facebook” is alive and well but it’s a different product than we knew and, whether intended or not, target audience is boomers and terminally online jerkoffs.
Blast Em. https://www.retrodev.com/blastem/
Standalone (not retro arch). Modern emulator (don’t think it’s updated anymore though). Linux support. I think it’s also available on Flathub if you want to get it via there.
Or…
Ares. https://ares-emu.net
Multi system emulator originally developed by Near (rip). Yes, it plays more systems than you are looking for, but it is simple, standalone (no retroarch/libretro), very good, Linux support, and still updated (latest version 23 Jan). Also available on Flathub if you want it there.
I suggest to try these emulators, they’re modern and they aim for cycle accuracy, rather than finding a way to keep a 15 year old emulator running.
Have you also considered though that this is how knowledge spreads. For every 100 people who read this they might say “here we go again with the FOSS…”, but a handful of people might say “GIMP? What?” and go check it out.
Open discussion instead of strictly direct question and answer is important.
My favourite phone ever was my first android phone in 2010, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini (e10i). Every time I’ve had to buy a phone since, I’ve looked around trying to find something similar, but it feels like no such thing will ever exist.
Me. A flatpak Firefox means not adding a repo to install non-free codecs. A flatpak steam means not installing a hideous number of 32 bit libs. Can’t remember what software it is because I rarely use it, but another flatpak prevents me needing to build it from source.
I have a HTPC setup for steam gaming using Micro OS. I haven’t touched it in a few months, but for the earlier parts of this year I frequently played Dead Cells, Art of Rally, Bloodstained, Vampire Survivor, Stardew Valley, games like that.
I used a couple of PS4 controllers via Bluetooth, just using the touchpad on the controller for if I needed to use a mouse cursor on the desktop or something.
One gripe was that I couldn’t get MicroOS to auto login, so I had to keep a keyboard next to the tv so I could sign in everything I wanted to play a game.
when you can install the likes of PopOs within 15 minutes, or Tumbleweed in 30 (just using those examples because I’ve installed them recently), then just install it and see goes it goes.
Or as you said, if a distro has a live usb you may not even need to install to test.
Absolutely I knew the aesthetics wouldn’t be good, Those “nicer” boards were just someone’s offcuts I got, so you’re not far off with that assessment. I’ve never used a stain before, so don’t have anything on hand. For finishing, I just have walrus oil (free sample from the hardware shop) and shellac available, but If I had some money I would have gone uniform timber all over.
I walk through the woods on one side of my house, there is a shovel behind some trees I’ve marked. Then I go back to my house, down the other side of my property until I get to the river. Then I dig in the river bank until I get to a plastic bag. Double wrapped of course.
Inside the plastic bag?.. a collection of 1gb USB thumb drives and a note pad.
In the note pad?.. an index cataloguing what is backed up on each thumb drive.
Your family needs to replace that 2tb with 500gb and then you’ll be all set!
