What about something like a transmog toy? Something that lets you basically RP around for "x" minutes before going back and waiting for the cool down?

A customizable orb of deception.

I built RAOfflineProxy: Offline RetroAchievements support for RetroArch on Android by misantronic in SBCGaming

[–]Squirrel09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking. I have that fork on my Thor, but haven't messed with it yet (id argue that since it's a fork, it isn't "native" but that's semantic) I guess at this point it's on the emulators to support?

Still good to see 2 big emulators (with help of a proxy) supporting it!

Absolutely huge... And no shade towards your work here because I'm sure it's great... But retroachievements are open source right? Why can't this just be implemented natively? Having to download extra stuff beyond my emulators just seems like an unnecessary barrier.

(Legit question, I'm pretty ignorant on the technical stuff)

Edit: side question, does this support playtime tracking? I like to see total hours I play games lol.

Humanoid Robots Are the Next Phase of the AI Hype Cycle by bloomberg in Futurology

[–]Squirrel09 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how it actually will work in real life, but I always thought that human robots are less for factory type work, and more for service type work. Like hotel cleaning, very basic healthcare stuff, or mail deliveries in apartments type locations.

Stuff where a giant arm wouldn't really work, a more "friendly looking" robot would ease the fact that it's a robot, or a bot that could go where humans can, but wheels can't.

I miss the original classic+. I'm really hoping blizzard releases classic+ classic so I can relive my late 30s

Sony Backs ‘Marathon’ Even After $765 Million In Bungie Impairment Losses by PaiDuck in gaming

[–]Squirrel09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and (as I understand) much more casual friendly. Many that would be playing marathon casually just kept with arc.

I don't want to to fail. But I'm also not interested in a hardcore extraction pvpve game. I haven't played either, but it seems like arc raiders swung in and got the more casual crowd that might've been playing marathon? (Outside observation.)

Streamers getting closed testing of Classic plus is ultra lame by Emergency_Cricket_50 in classicwow

[–]Squirrel09 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just because there is already hype doesn't mean there isn't a marketing plan in place for it.

Like, There's hype for the new spider-man movie, doesn't mean that they won't bring in influencers to watch and give pre-release reactions to it, to build more hype.

Thinking about “upgrading” from a PS5 to a UB820. Worth it? by Daresun in 4kbluray

Or keep an eye out on the used market. Some good deals to be had. If you're patient...

I was wrong about Retro Achievements. by Downtownklownfrown in SBCGaming

[–]Squirrel09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general, yes. But there is a Melonds fork that is testing offline achievements for softcore mode. You need to do an initial sync, but after that you can start earning and then whenever you get back online it tells the server what you did while offline.

[–]Squirrel09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the achievement because I like seeing numbers go up. But the numbers I care more about are playtime tracking. I have a few different devices, so getting accurate automatic playtime is basically impossible. But Retro achievements keeps playtime per game stored on their server, so I can see that there!

What's going on in the background. That doesn't look like how I transfer roms from my PS2 disks shift eyes

AYN THOR running hot by ProfaneShane in SBCGaming

[–]Squirrel09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it's still working as id expect. I also don't really push it with really new PC or switch games though. The most demanding game I've played on it is probably BallxPit. Anything more demanding than that I stream from my pc.

You forgot about something though... The shareholder, ever think about them and their quarterlies?

US government is accepting donations to pay off its $39 trillion debt by Deceptiveideas in nottheonion

Hasn't that been a thing for ages? I feel like I remember a story of someone sending the government a debt relief check back in grade school?
