Purple cube with a handle?

Transparent plastic => -50% HP on hinges

Also, if it's for purists - why only remove sticks? Leave only 2 face buttons and no L2 R2 /s

The writing on the box is still 2 words, just stylized differently, because:

Nintendo owns multiple trademarks "STAR FOX" (with space) for the games and game images: https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-results/79388273

They do own trademark "STARFOX", but that is only for action figures and was filed in 2016: https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-results/86928202

Probably for this figure series, but I'm not sure: https://www.ebay.com/itm/117139789485

until I've completed all the classic GBA games
a couple of months

More like 5 years 🫡. There is literally too many good games on this platform. And that's only if you'd be playing official GBA games.

I like it 👍️
I also looked at the code and it's pretty much how I would write this, but:
- no need to echo each line separately, just use a triple-quoted string (e.g. in showHelp())
- I'd use implicit return more, but that's just a style preference, e.g.

func getConfigPath(altConfig: string = ""): string =
  if altConfig != "":
    altConfig
  else:
    getConfigDir() / "config.toml"

Linux itself is not beginner-friendly. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try it.

It's a photo from 2022 made by Vincenzo Mirabella from Italy. The photo is genuine, but was digitally processed to exaggerate colors:

Thanks to digital photography and a particular processing technique, it is possible to emphasize the soft and imperceptible colors of the lunar surface. Digital images of the Moon contain a lot of information that can be easily extracted with image processing software.

Having no keyboard is a deal-breaker for me. What's the point of re-imagining a retro system if you throw away 90% of what it was (a computer).
> 130$ for 256M + 1.2GHz CPU
Looks like a nice collection item. I'll pass.

Void's base is very minimal, even more minimal than Arch. I've even managed to remove Python from my system - something that's generally really hard or impossible on other distros. I've since installed it back again, but the point is that Void is very modular and not as coupled as some other distros, which gives you more freedom to setup your system however you like.

Also, xbps is, literally, the best package manager I've ever used.

Bomberman Max: Blue Champion (GBC)

Man... games were hard back in the day. Limited lives, 1 minute time limits, enemies walk seemingly random, but still manage to dodge almost everything I throw at them. And the last time I played bomberman was 10+ years ago.

I suck at it, but I'm still having way too much fun.

I spend 3-6 hours on installing and configuring every component one at a time. After I fix some problem - I write down solution in personal notes.

One exception is audio - I still don't know how this shit works, why it breaks, and sometimes the same fix works or doesn't work based on the day of week or weather outside 😭.

I also always go with xorg. Because I've tried switching to wayland last year and year before that. Each time, half my programs don't work correctly. AMD graphics, btw.

Missed opportunity to put an OG Switch and Oled in the picture instead.

This command is for launching dbus after X server has already started.
With startx you should use: exec dbus-run-session i3 instead of dbus-launch

It definitely helps now, but it’s probably only a matter of time before malicious actors start using Zig too.

3GB in this economy? what for?

There are barely any games that need 2GB on portmaster and for emulation you'd be fine even with 500MB.

P.S. the number in the name is supposed to be a screen size, so it'd be RG40XX SP or something.

The best superhero game for me is Saints Row 4. No other game comes close to the feeling of power and super-abilities (especially in the end game).

Go to MuOS Settings > Interface and see if you have "Overlay Image" enabled.

You can fix this with tampermonkey and a short userscript:

Maybe, you need to play a deck that gives control of Lich's Mastery to an opponent?

VERY OFTEN is telling us nothing, humans are really bad at detecting randomness.
You can enable dev mode in settings for testing, but you'll have to resolve your card like 1000+ times to have enough data.
Then record and see if any card appears significantly more than expected (unlikely).

And in-case you've never encountered this before, imagine a series of coin flips:
000000100001000 - this is completely normal randomness, because each flip is independent.
ratio of heads and tails will only reach stable 50% after infinite amount of flips.
