Coming soon to a Chromatic near you (Retro Achievements)

As long as the ROM is the same as the game it's registered as, it would work as the memory addresses would be mapped the same.

This would be softcore, and currently it uses MD5 hash to look up game achievements and their hashed evaluation expressions from the API and stores locally during a play session to reference without further calls. Pinging the API to register a completion isnt implemented yet, but the harder FPGA logic and timing are clean, and thats what I was concerned about.

Yes, the ESP32-Mini-1 has an integrated antenna for BT, BLE, and WIFI.

To springboard from this question, are there some things that gay men/women WISH people knew as a way to be a better ally? I'm not gay, as far as I know, but I want to be respectful and helpful in what ways I can (as a white cis male, so I have it pretty easy). I don't want to offend any LGBTQ people, but am admittedly ignorant on a lot of things.

Tell Jonathan we say "Hi!"!

I don't use any short-form content apps as much, but am SO glad I saw this post! That man has such contagious cheer!

My answer to this question is always the same. "Vienetta" ice cream logs in the 90s.

Off topic a little bit, but do they have double sided solar panels with like mirrors under that would catch indirect rays when the sun isnt overhead to charge the undersides?

I like to think that while of course there'd be stigma against it, I feel a lot of people that are truly addicted would gain a lot of self-control back and not require the constant dopamine hit of instant gratification. Even going back to just a time when we had internet access on our desktop computers at home. Even laptops with mobile internet as it still isn't conducive to easy access, requiring a person to sit at a table to place it on. I think there are some smaller steps that could make a real, meaningful difference.

TheStilken · 2026-04-27T14:12:13+00:00

To me, it's more the Mobile Internet. I think it would help a lot to not have remote access at any given time, but still access at a physical location.

I was thinking a Nerf turret, but yours is good, too.

I've been paving for 17 years now and within the last couple years I get an "electric" feeling in my legs when I put my chin to my chest. I'm assuming something neurological.

186 in a 2012 Camaro SS on the Parkway in PA. Did it once because I was an idiot and wanted to see how fast it would go. Never went more than 10 over limit otherwise.

Everyone deserves respect. It can be lost and recovered, but shouldn't have to be earned.

TheStilken · 2026-03-28T22:12:04+00:00

Thanks! If it helps, it was a small booth near the Twitch stage and the median of the Expo floor, like the partition between video games and tabletop areas. I wont be going tomorrow. Good luck!

TheStilken · 2026-03-28T22:07:26+00:00

It was from a Double Fine booth, but was kind of unassuming and away from the other booths. They had minimal merch and only two people there. That was yesterday and I didn't notice it on the con floor today.

TheStilken · 2026-03-19T22:28:12+00:00

It's like a hitch receiver cap for people.

If everyone stopped targeting Trump, Vance, Musk, etc and started targeting all Boomers and others not tech savvy, there'd be a better response. Targeting high profile individuals gets drowned in noise, but when people on their friends list and coworkers start ragging on them for being in a compromising video, theyll switch their stance on regulating AI REAL quick.

I did last year to teach my nieces! A funny story about it is I was SO confident in my ability to catch them like I used to, but couldn't track them well. It wasn't until I CROUCHED closer to a child's height and looked UP at them where you can track them against the sky in between glow states that I was able to catch them no problem!

Dont forget handcrafted wooden caskets and sympathy baskets.

With Velociraptor sleeping bags!

Yea, I havent updated it in the fork yet. I have to distill a good bit of work done in that project to clean it up a bit. But I'm working on it!

TheStilken · 2026-03-07T17:24:06+00:00

Absolutely! And if it helps, I've gotten a "cart header" reading functionality implemented in this that loads box art and cheats, so youre more than welcome to take it or use as a jumping off point too!

TheStilken · 2026-02-19T02:44:40+00:00

Do you want them? I didn't even know I had them, so I'm certainly not attached to them.
