I only know Infinitime, wasp-os has some games.
I think it is a blurry line.
Video games have always used terms like “next generation” in marketing, so that does have an influence. My students think PS4 is retro. They think iPhone 13 is retro!
When I was in my early 20s we didn’t consider CDs retro or vintage, and that was the early 2000s when the tech was around 30 years old.
Before we also had big jumps, or at least we were told they were big jumps.
Analogue to magnetic tape to digital 8-bit to 16 to 32 to 64…
If I had to write an essay on the topic, I would focus on the aspect of “the way things were…” Meaning that something could be thought of as retro if the process of making it work vastly differs from the current process.
The PS2 didn’t have HDMI, but it did have internet connectivity. There were wireless controllers, but they were a little different from today. The TV was probably a CRT so you had to change the channel to make it work. Magazines still had demos sold with them…
My conclusion: a young person can probably figure out how to get a PS2 up and running, so it isn’t retro technology, it is just retro gaming.
I don’t want to make generalisations. I have worked with people from all around the world as a teacher at an international business school. A thing that comes up quite often is a certain close-mindedness of people in China. I never would have noticed this myself, but it was my own students from China that mentioned it to me. I’ve only been to China once for 3 weeks and I while talking to people I did hear some comments about other nationalities that made little sense historically. My friend that I was visiting there basically said that anything bad that happens in China is caused by foreigners or Uyghurs which sounds like BS to me.
Why a child, though? That’s some evil shit. Get that person’s phone and look at ther social media, I bet their WeChat is filled with anti-Japanese shit.
The majority of my international students are very worldly and open-minded, and every year there are more like them.
Loved Nier: Automata. I didn’t finish it completely, I think I got through Nines’ playthrough and stopped after that and sold the game.
That music sticks in your head though! Have you seen the Anime?
I’m trying to get into shmups. Just playing whatever I can find on sale on Switch. Mostly Raiden IV x MIKADO Remix on loop. I think I might be getting better!
Yes

Tabs and Windows
Open new thunar instances as tabs
Whenever you launch thunar while an existing thunar window is already open, a new tab will be added to the existing thunar window instead of opening a new window.
This could be a Thunar setting or a xfwm4 setting in addition to being a FF setting.
I ended up using Khal too. Hesitant at first, it wound up being good enough for me, especially when it comes to mass importing events. It syncs with my CalDav and phone when using vdirsyncer. 5 to 10 minutes fiddling with the config and haven’t needed to change anything in years.
I did this for several months. If you check out the Alpine community you’ll see that many people do this. So, it is not a dumb idea. Alpine is a “generalist” distro and comes packed with all the DEs and WMs you want. They also accept package requests and are usually pretty fast about it.
I would recommend using the Edge branch just to have access to the newest packages, but keep an eye on the issue tracker before hitting update. Also, get on their Matrix and other accounts to follow different discussions.
Sorry, but this is not what I need. I’ve seen this list and many similar to it. Just want a few names of games. Nintendo Life is a good resource, though.
Switch probably, but emulation is an option.
I don’t have much to go on, it has been more than 30 years since my arcade days. I’ve been making a list and am trying to prioritise purchases. I think Ikaruga will come first as soon as it is on sale again (which isn’t very often).
I don’t have a Steam account, but I’ll try your method anyway to see how it compares to what is already on my list.
Thanks.
I searched but did not see this community, thanks!
This is at the top of my list, so it will come sooner or later!
I don’t have anything substantial except fond memories or R-Type and Raiden, and a copy of Raiden IV that I tend to play on loop when I have days off.
Many have surprised me for different reasons.
The most recent that did is Alpine. I decided for some reason to install it for regular desktop use on an RPI400.
First surprise, the ISO was so small. Second surprise, everything installed so fast when I used the install scripts. Third surprise was the up-to-date repos. The final surprise was the community: it handled noob questions and complicated questions so well, walked users through click by click and one command at a time. Awesome and totally an acceptable option for a desktop which is why I immediately installed it on my main laptop and used it for a number of months.
(just gonna be annoying and note that the 404 Media article isn’t a true “paywall”, they addressed this on their blog: https://www.404media.co/why-404-media-needs-your-email-address/. If you create an account you don’t need to pay and they email the published articles in full every day.)
I use or have used, depending on the situation, JOSM, OsmAnd~, Ever Door, StreetComplete and Vespucci.
If I’m out and about and have a second I will contribute whatever I can, even if it isn’t useful to me. I have not, however, stepped up my game and started mapping trees or fire hydrants.
Try on a shared image. One should open in the app, the other in the browser.
Perhaps there will be an internal Webview implementation one day.
I just use whatever text editor I have and make MD files synced with Syncthing. On mobile I use Markor.
I’ve tried several different methods, and as much as I try to be organised, I feel pretty good with my folder of files.
