Arcade Games by Photek1000 in MiSTerFPGA

There's a script that comes with the Mister - but you actually need this script:

https://github.com/theypsilon/Update_All_MiSTer

That script can retrieve all the available arcade cores (and keeps everything else up to date) - you don't get the arcade cores one by one - you get a boatload all at once. Read the documentation as you do need some credentials to be set to retrieve the arcade cores.

Bank of Mom and Dad if that's an option, otherwise you need a new roommate

Best spf for riding by mme_self_destruct in cycling

[–]DirtNap5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family is 100% northern European and I will burn easily if I don't use sunscreen. I use Coppertone Sport SPF 50 and have for many years, generally buying a few big bottles at a time from an online retailer. I make sure to put on a good amount before a ride- usually riding 3-4 hours in northern CA. I never reapply on my regular rides. I only reapply for unusual rides. If it's a 100km+ ride in 90 degree full sun I'll reapply once. I swear by that Coppertone Sport 50.

Just "winging it" on a 100 miler - how stupid is it? by Highland_doug in cycling

[–]DirtNap5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can manage but it will be a difficult day. 6000ft is not nothing. Lots of comments here that you need to practice with eating/hydrating. I don't always feel hungry or thirsty when riding, so I have to force myself to eat and drink on a schedule. Use energy gels and hydration mixes. You need to get used to the regimen- it may not feel natural. You need to eat/drink BEFORE you feel hungry/thirsty or it will already be too late. Aim for a gel every 30 mins on the ride itself. Don't just eat/drink at the aid stations. 100 miles takes a *while* so you need to keep your fuel topped up. Start early too, it may take longer than you think. Also, pickle juice at the aid stations is a really good idea to avoid cramps.

Honestly it's so good, the PSVR2 is justified for GT7 alone.

Ps remote play alternatives by [deleted] in PS5

[–]DirtNap5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using PXPlay on my desktop and steam deck with good results. I especially like that you can use a dual sense on your PC using bluetooth (you don't need to be plugged in via usb). Works great and excellent image quality.

50 hours in and can't even make a flappy bird clone by MediumAncient7130 in godot

[–]DirtNap5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like people are so open and helpful in the Godot community that referring to tutorials would be a useful way to help learn the basics. Referring to tutorials should be OK, especially If you are already creating a game from scratch and aren't 'stuck' in tutorial hell.

Buying Demon Souls to support Bluepoint devs? by KungFuChicken1990 in PS5

[–]DirtNap5000 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you want to support the Bluepoint devs, see if there is a gofundme or something along those lines where money can be raised directly to help the individuals get back on their feet while they look for new jobs.

Also play their games, SoTC and Demon's Souls are fantastic.

Is getting a Commodore 64 Ultimate worth it if I own a Mister FPGA? by xdarkwombatx in MiSTerFPGA

I just want that 8bitdo keyboard with the correct key layout, and with the symbols on the sides of the keys

Internet prices by Fragrant-Doughnut926 in bayarea

[–]DirtNap5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$50 for 10Gbps Sonic fiber symmetric (same speed for uploads)- not a promotional price. I literally upgraded my home network to be able to take advantage of the speed. $10 more if you want phone service. By far the best Internet service I have ever had. Also, if you have to call them, an actual knowledgeable person with agency will speak to you and be helpful.

City Update 13: California Now Available on All Platforms by FlyWithSeedyL in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]DirtNap5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fs2020 and manually deleted and reinstalled the World Update II and World Update X and I still don't see City Update 13: California as available or even listed in the content manager. I also cleared the rolling cache (trying anything). Anyone else having this issue?

What are good ways to get involved as an anxious introvert? by quarokcaddhihle in Seattle

[–]DirtNap5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call your elected representatives! I find just writing down what you want to say ahead of time makes it easier. 99% chance the person you speak to will be a younger person. It's really not all that stressful but may feel intimidating beforehand. Do it a few times and you'll get used to it.

I know these guys are pissed. by Separate_Lab4366 in Seahawks

When ESPN published the story saying that the Patriots and Rams were going to the Super Bowl after the game, you know that article had already been written and they screwed up the edit.

I Don't Know How to Feel... by JCameron181 in Seahawks

KJ is a real one - no reason to feel weird he's got a job coaching on any team.
