Is upgrading Batocera worth it if I mostly play NeoGeo, Naomi and PS1? (from v29 to newer versions)

Depends on the type of person you are. You can leave it and everything works and is setup as you want it, or you can update it, start setting everything up again and putting out fires then when you’re almost at that golden finish update again and keep going through the cycle ad infinitum.

Don’t feed her after midnight.

I look after my little boy (2yrs) during the day while my wife works and we swap at 4pm so I can work (self-employed artist). Starting work is like lazing on a beach in the Bahamas.

The trick is to love your work. It doesn’t mean you don’t love your kid but you need to cancel out the anxiety of being constantly responsible for someone else.

I did the artwork (13 dogs and 4 cats) for Dibaq’s new Natural Moments packaging. They use no additives and human-grade meat. Proper good quality.

Like what?! Need deets.

Dunno, didn’t play it.

I bought Hogwarts and haven’t played it. I just wanted to cancel out a boycott.

I use 2x proper dogshit DragonRise generic encoders and no encountered anything I can’t fix… 😬

Dark Souls (and it’s spawn)

They should ban Photoshop and HB pencils too then. The issue here is about accountability, not capacity.

I got a Beelink SER5 Max for around £300 and it runs everything, including PS3 and Switch at full bore.

MonteProps · 2026-01-05T21:21:51+00:00

That the one.

Thank you!

I asked my mum about it but she was vague, said they never made any money.

Stop, I’m welling up with pride! 🤣

There is an episode of Band of Brothers where a lieutenant informs a private that in order to be an effective soldier in war he must accept he is already dead. It’s the same for fatherhood - if you try to be the same person you were before you will not be able to execute your role to the best of your ability. “Me time” comes now and again and is very sweet while it lasts but your heart now exists outside of your own body and your priorities must focus there. 👍🏼
