I’ve had a Gameboy for most of my life so I’m a sucker for portables. Donkey Kong, Oracle of Seasons, Pokemon Crystal, and Super Mario Land 2 all get replayed with some regularity. For GBA the Golden Sun games are still in my top ten favorites to this day, and the SNES ports like Link to the Past and Super Mario World were great to have in my pocket.

No but my dog does.

Got a Gameboy Color from my grandparents in '98 and I’m still riding that high to this day.

If you like JRPGs Golden Sun is the bee’s knees.

A textbook example, yes. And Today I Learned something!

For work I use a database written in COBOL. Reports are simultaneously running and frozen until I either get the report results or sufficient time has passed that I’m certain the system has crashed.

We got Tears of the Kingdom, but at what cost?

I’m sure there’s a LoRa somewhere, self-hosted is always the answer.

+1 for Gulikit sticks, I’ve revived five different sets of joycons for friends and family at this point. Install is a little fiddly but just go slow and don’t let anything dangle.

So in the back of your eyeballs are special photo receptive bits called cones that you use to see color. There are three different kinds and they each detect red, green, or blue light. Using those three sets of wavelengths and the overlap between them your brain combines which cones are receiving light to make up all the other colors.

You might notice that pixels use those same colors. Once you back up enough it looks like each set of three pixels is actually a single point of light, so your brain combines the wavelengths into a single color.

French press, yo.

Goodbye.

Where the hell are you finding an 8.5% ROI in this economy??

If we’re going to play that game, puffins are technically auks since they’re also in the same family.

Also where I’m from we call those razorbills.

No, I’m not fun at parties.

Why choose one country? I’m selling everything and buying a boat.

This post made me think about Cooking Comically for the first time in about a decade.

Canned chickpeas are one of our staple proteins. Mash them into something resembling tuna, roast them to get them crunchy and toss them over couscous or rice, etc.

Shallots are great if you’re cooking for one or two people and don’t expect to use an entire onion. We sometimes cut up a shallot and a tomato and saute them in some olive oil before dumping some pasta into the pan for a quick meal.

Also +1 for potatoes and gourds. They’re in season and keep well on the counter.
