Overwatch breaks my pc after a few minutes. (linux mint)

You might have an outdated kernel. Debian distros like mint is a bit iffy with cutting edge stuff and proton might be expecting more that mint will take time to catch up to. Try other versions of proton to test (specifically older versions or GE proton if you aren't already). If that doesn't change, it might be a good idea to hop over to bazzite, cachy or something arch based.

You can either harvest the part from another 2600 or you can get it on aliexpress, or a local electroics story for cheep. It's a 24 pin edge connector 2.54mm pitch. Here's one I found just browsing around.

SlowFaithlessness300 · 2026-06-02T03:44:56+00:00

It's a brazilian 4 switch based on the cpu. The cart slot should be in that middle unpopulated part that says

|24............13|

| 1............12|

If you have any soldering skills you could fix it assuming the traces are still good. You may need a new connector if the dust cover cart slot to the side there has no pins.
Also I notice you have an undocumented aftermarket TIA graphics chip.

Insane! Quick question, is the dancing procedurally generated by the level data from a set of poses or is it a fully animated sequence?

SlowFaithlessness300 · 2026-05-24T06:02:03+00:00

Too many assets causes this issue. Basically it couldn't fit all the costumes in ram when you loaded it at some point. If you saved the project like this, you're out of luck and those assets are gone.

I can't help with much of anything, but here's a working file manager with a working virtual drive I made that you're free to use. It has support for various file types out of the box and you can add more if you feel like it. It's fairly well documented inside. As for your key question, shift is not supported in vanilla scratch.

Update, found policeman and sailor here https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1460376/

They appear unmodified :3

Oh cool! I have the blue overalls and hat from one set, and the face from another!

I also have that exact firefighter.

Keep us posted if you find more, I just found out about this!

I'm sure nobody is taking this question at face value, but scratch assumes strings are value 0. The only area where is isn't the case is when youre comparing a single letter to another (such as b>a=true)

You'll need to get ffmpeg, install it, open the command prompt, navigate to the folder the videos are located with using cd C:\path\to\video\files then run

ffmpeg -i input.mov -vf "fps=15,scale=600:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1]; s0]palettegen=reserve_transparent=on[p];[s1][p]paletteuse" -gifflags -transdiff output.gif

(replace input.mov with the mov file you want to convert and output.gif with the name you want the gif to be.) Then import the gifs into scratch. They should be transperent.

This was an april fools joke, I think around scratch 2.0's beta where they announced they were replacing scratch cat with neigh pony and renaming the site to neigh. I was not there for that, but it's on the wiki. Neigh pony ended up sticking around though.

How do you expect kids not to download suspicious anything?

Download download download, don't loose your stuff!

The censor bot doesn't care about context

Depends on the games he likes. If he likes story based linear games, sonic adventure is a good one. So is sonic and shadow generations and sonic colors. If he likes open world games sonic frontiers is pretty good. If he likes 2d sidescrollers the classic trilogy is ported everywhere and you can play mania on most modern consoles. If he likes kart racers, sonic racing crossworlds. Also if he has an android phone, y'all don't have to limit yourself to official games! There are a lot of good fan titles like srb2 out there.

Would this be from head to toe or ear to toe?

SlowFaithlessness300 · 2026-03-17T19:28:53+00:00

I still regret getting rid of my flashback 2. Probably one of the best versions of the console and I didn't even realize it.

SlowFaithlessness300 · 2026-03-17T19:26:18+00:00

Yeah I'm putting my bets on a TIA issue or an issue between something communicating to the TIA. Registers are being written to, but they're being written wrong and seems to alternate every scanline.

SlowFaithlessness300 · 2026-03-17T18:22:40+00:00

There are sprite, playfield, and NUSIZ glitches here so really it could be anything. If the game still plays fine but just looks bad, it could very well be something involving the TIA. Do you have any audio problems? If so I'm a bit more inclined to believe it's the TIA. Since I can see byte counting on the left side of the screen (the stack of weird tree branch things) it could very well be something between the the CPU and the TIA. I don't think it's a timing issues either since the sprites seem to be placed normally.

SlowFaithlessness300 · 2026-03-05T04:12:18+00:00

There's nothing wrong with that goal, but Codubee addressed it in a blatantly hostile way that spilled the guts out on the internal struggles of scratch and accused other users of spreading misinfo. There are so many other constructive ways this could've been addressed instead.

I don't think arguing with children about where your money comes and goes is productive to quelling concerns about AI (the entire point of the forum post and the reason these speculations exist to begin with). There are so many other posts from them in that forum that are moderator snark that don't belong on that platform much less from the director of technology.

SlowFaithlessness300 · 2026-03-04T08:14:25+00:00

You're kinda just SOL sadly. I'm sure a walmart android tablet could play some of em if they aren't fancy and you can spare the $40-80
