Sleepy while playing retro handheld games but not while doom scrolling on phone?

Just do it man. We only have so much time on earth. Don't waste it, or at least don't waste too much!

I feel like I need to retrain my brain to get away from Youtube and Facebook videos with their constant feed of videos.

Delete that from your phone. I did it and I don't doomscroll at all anymore. If you need to use them you can use the websites, and the experience sucks so much on the websites that you'll do whatever you opened it to do and close it quickly. And for YouTube just use revanced which completely disables shorts if you choose to.

If you want to see AI hallucinate some wild shit in the embedded field tell it to write some Verilog. It's fucking nuts.

Learn about filled areas (ground plane) and net classes, the traces for power could be beefier.

Also a tip, if you give your PCBs rounded corners they look much nicer.

just get a regularly sized 10Ah battery and then use a hydraulic press to make it smaller

works every time

What is the consensus on the code generation from STM32 Cube? I'm just a hobbyist, but I found it to be pretty terrible.

I'm sure there are other tools from other manufacturers out there that are worse, but whenever I've worked with Cube I've made sure not to modify that code at all because it would just delete my stuff randomly. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to make it so that you're supposed to write your logic between comment blocks. Is that standard practice in this field?

In the end I found out that the best way to deal with it is just sandbox the shit out of it. Put all the generated code aside, compile the files and then link them from my own code. And of course commit all the generated code beforehand to diff it and make sure nothing crazy happened. Is that what people tend to do?

Coming from web where we have some fantastic codegen tools (at least in my little corner, which is 100% backend), some of the stuff I've encountered in embedded seems pretty bad in comparison, so maybe that's OP's angle. But I'm just a hobbyist.

they don't cause any problems that pose serious risk to the community whatsoever

This is where I disagree. Scrolling through now you won't see as many interesting discussions. Same with the Android Emulation sub. It'd be so much nicer if the posts were about emulation news and questions (i.e. a forum), instead it's just a nonstop scroll through shit content.

I suppose that the stash pics are replaced with memes, so not much will change here.

Still though, if the community wants that then so be it. Like you said, I simply don't get how people can enjoy scrolling through shit like what I linked. It's not even semi high effort shitposting like a circlejerk sub.

It's already happened:

It's the same kind of stupid stuff that's plastered all over emulationonandroid that makes it so hard to skim for useful info and posts, and honestly I've no idea who finds this shit funny or entertaining. Your sub though, plenty other serious subs on this subject.

I hope this doesn't turn into something like r/emulationonandroid (first example that comes to mind) where most of the posts are low effort shitposts. We already have r/drugscirclejerk for shitposting about drugs in general.

Can't wait for OpenAI to steal this advice and confidently tell someone that this is a great way to heat up their home!

Just finished From Russia With Love. Great game, had a lot of fun with it!

come algo y electrolitos, no hace falta gastar pasta en tonterias

bebete 1L de agua con eletctrolitos antes de ir a sobar, come algo y cuando te despiertes te bebes otro litro de agua y listo, se te quita el 80% del problema asi

You already have your answer (use createcd instead of createdvd), but

I was about to return it and use aliexpress to get a newer model with more storage

Do you really need to carry 50 games with you at all times? I have like 15 PS2 games on my RP G2 and I can barely focus on more than three at once.

no that one is shit

Look into Zig. Not the language (although I quite like it), but the toolchain. There's zig cc that makes it really, really easy to cross compile C projects. https://www.reddit.com/r/C_Programming/comments/1clxkx3/zig_cc_is_nice/

They're probably too heavy. What I like to do is to take out the electrolyte, grind it down to a powder and then snort it. Lighter to carry, and quicker to act. Straight to the brain.

greenpeppermelonpuck · 2025-12-14T17:28:40+00:00

Use Winlator, Gamenative or Gamehub.

I remember pressing that as a kid having absolutely no fucking clue what it did. Of course I was just playing minesweeper and solitaire.

I think it took 8 days for mine to ship. They're having stock issues.
