What are your metrics for “effective?” As someone who is both teaching and taking classes currently, I can tell you engagement is pitifully low in online formats. Education is not just about memorizing facts and going through the motions to get a good grade. There’d have to be some amazing innovation in online education practices to convince me it will be the default anytime soon.

This genZ-bait soundtrack is making what looks like pretty cool gameplay look incredibly lame. Too many of these GaaS titles that inevitably enshittify use this same marketing to the point where it gives a Pavlovian signal to stay away.

I don’t think I’m interested in an NVIDIA Shield since if I like the idea of running any Linux app in case I want to use it for another purpose in the future.

An RPi could be a choice. I forgot that the 5s have hardware decoding. Assuming the 4GB model is suitable, then $60 + cost of a case isn’t too bad. I assume the hardware decoding could keep up with 4k60?

No, I just was under the impression that Moonlight was the best solution

Just Mario 64. However there is a very good implementation of the N64 in the Mister FPGA project. The downside is there aren’t many emulation features that you’d expect out of a software emulator (e.g. save states)

Lemmy. For more niche communities that don’t exist on Lemmy I use RSS feeds on specific subreddits. Discord for chatting with friend and other niche communities. LinkedIn because I’m in academia.

allowing to customize its PCB specifically for the needs of FPGA console emulation.

From what I can recall, this is not what happened. He has stated multiple times that he’s designed it to work as much like a DE-10 Nano as possible. There are no significant differences between his board and the original from what I can tell.

I’ve been following the Mister FPGA project and just set up my new one. It’s a great project. However I do not quite understand what the motivation of these consolized Misters are. It’s going to take significant software development effort to make a Mister completely polished, and it is such a niche target audience I’d think it wouldn’t be worth it.

How does a Kickstarter make sense for this? Feels too niche for enough people to find enough value to “invest” in this.

Lol, I have come to the conclusion that I want less of whatever this is. Here’s your medal for winning whatever debate you thought we were having. 🏅

I mean, I’m not calling for a police state to shut down cake day or something. Just saying cake day was a shallow activity imo. People can choose to do whatever they want, but I would rather us think about what was actually valuable about reddit rather than just importing whatever preexisting culture there was.

You’re getting a lot of retorts in response to your comment, but I 100% agree. Sure telling people happy cake day is fun the first few times, but it inevitably just becomes stale. One of the things that made reddit not enjoyable was people parroting the same phrases all over the site.

Rayman Legends, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, Smash Bros off the top of my head. It had plenty of excellent games

The first obvious question is “does this have something the MisterFPGA doesn’t?”

I hug my guy friends when I haven’t seen them in a while (e.g. my friends who live far away). Snuggling is super weird, and I don’t know of any guys who have done that. Feels like if I did, my wife would not be very happy. Affectionate fighting seems just over the top. Seems like something limited to children and movies.

I think the amount of physical affection I get from other men is fine. Don’t really need more

plenty of it doesn’t come from a company doing lousy stuff like this

So you only play indie games? Because that’s basically the only way you avoid “companies doing lousy stuff.”

I don’t know why an MSN link was used instead of a direct link to the article:

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/microsoft-is-warping-the-pc-industry/

I would argue that it is better to have two separate drives for the installation. It simplifies things for non tech savvy people, and I believe Windows has less of an opportunity to mess with your linux install, such as messing with the efi partition.

Again, not giving them a free pass. Just pointing out the terminology used is an overstatement.

I mean, I’m not exactly giving FF a pass here but rewarded is factually incorrect considering FF was paid to do the gig. The show wasn’t some free pat on the back for the execs doing such a great job.
