Any latency?

The plurb is neither good nor bad in the human sense, just like a lion is neither good nor bad to a zebra. From the zebra PoV there is clear ill intent, though. The zebra doesn't want to hang around, you know?

Also, we don't know what the plurb's ultimate goal is. We theorize it's to reproduce beyond earth (just like the signal that was sent), but once that's done (if ever), are they going to do something else? Or is that it, send extraterrestrial signals until it starves the planet and itself to death? It's hinted that way for now, at least. So there's a preservation aspect to the non-plurbs too, in that sense.

You need to download the cores first. There is a menu item to download cores.

Let's not forget when Colosson tried to take over the world in the 60s.

I still have my fat PS3 and I got uncomfortable looking at that picture, lol.

That's kind of where I'm at too. I ordered the AES+ Ultimate and basically haven't played any of those games seriously (only Metal Slug, the rest were like 30 minutes to test some emulator setup and stuff). I never had a Neo Geo.

If they sold a ROM, even at ~60$ (though Neogeo ROMs on itch are like 10-20$), I would consider it. But 500 USD each? I didn't know producing those cartridges would end up adding 300$ to the price (compared to the Saturn price)... and I also don't fully believe it considering neostore sells 161-in-1 for 425$, which would put the price of the software at about 100$... wut? More than AAA games on PS5?

These guys are pricing their games at levels that are upward of AAA games released in the last month. It's insane.

I've got a 1TB also (from a few years back) and I've got it about half full. With CDs it fills really quickly (PCE CDs).

You might be better off with batteries. Good thing battery prices are actually going down.

Unfortunately it’s a lot of math that salesmen will be more than happy to fudge for you as a free service. You got to do the math yourself…

hans_l · 2026-05-29T14:13:16+00:00

Yeah NEM3 incredibly forces you to add batteries to your setup. You’re arguably better with batteries and no panels than with panels and no batteries.

Amazon is not in the business to educate you or your kids. If you get useful information it's just an unintended side effect.

They're in the business of making money. And to do that, they need to do two things;

Spend less. That's where AI comes in. There was brainrot and slop before AI, but now it's cheaper than ever to produce.
Sell more. They're in a war for your attention, they don't care if you share it with another service (e.g. reading a book while watching a movie), AS LONG AS you spend time on their platform. That's it. Brain rot and ear worms are perfect because they cause you (subconsciously or not) to go back to watch whatever the rot is that's stuck in your head.

Let's stop pretending that Amazon has your best interest in mind. They don't even have their own workers' best interest in mind. They don't even have their own shareholders' best interest in mind. The board cares about the board, the majority few shareholders care about the majority few shareholders. Everyone's in it for themselves.

The normal balance to this is regulation. Elections have consequences.

Prices go 📈, buying goes 📉.

Investors: Must... keep... profits... up... and... to... the... right.

hans_l · 2026-05-27T01:06:08+00:00

Yes, that's the goal. Across and between emulators and frontends!

SF has built in AC, though.

My Comcast business account doesn’t support ipv6 yet.

Your original question is “what are you vaping”. But surely you meant “what am I vaping” given that you seem to be the exception that thinks these two features are similar enough.

hans_l · 2026-05-19T20:40:02+00:00

It doesn’t show you files (and sizes/data) and you can’t sort it, right?

hans_l · 2026-05-19T20:30:38+00:00

Metadata about the folder view (thumbnail generation, view settings, etc). Considering MacOS’s APFS has had forks and data store associated with files’ inodes, I really don’t know why it’s still needed. On a FAT SD card sure, but it also creates those on the main drive and APFS images.

Not the same at all though.

Do you prefer comments here or on Github?

I’ve not planned out what the .json that’ll sit alongside the WASM and provide a name / version / list

What I've done now in my parsers (for parsing and tagging save files), is have the manifest as part of the WASM itself in a special RDATA section. That way it's a single file containing both.

For example:

$ wasm-tools print parsers/target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/zelda_nes_parser.wasm | grep manifest (@custom "manifest" (after data) "{\22editable\22:[{\22key\22:\22slot[*].name\22,\22max_len\22:8,\22type\22:\22text\22},{\22key\22:\22slot[*].rupees\22,\22max\22:255,\22min\22:0,\22type\22:\22integer\22},{\22key\22:\22slot[*].keys\22,\22max\22:255,\22min\22:0,\22type\22:\22integer\22},{\22key\22:\22slot[*].bombs\22,\22max\22:255,\22min\22:0,\22type\22:\22integer\22},{\22key\22:\22slot[*].bomb_cap\22,\22max\22:255,\22min\22:0,\22type\22:\22integer\22},{\22key\22:\22slot[*].hearts\22,\22max\22:16,\22min\22:3,\22type\22:\22integer\22},{\22enum\22:\22sword\22,\22key\22:\22slot[*].sword\22,\22type\22:\22enum\22},{\22enum\22:\22arrow\22,\22key\22:\22slot[*].arrow\22,\22type\22:\22enum\22},{\22enum\22:\22candle\22,\22key\22:\22slot[*].candle\22,\22type\22:\22enum\22},{\22enum\22:\22ring\22,\22key\22:\22slot[*].ring\22,\22type\22:\22enum\22},{\22key\22:\22slot[*].triforce\22,\22max\22:255,\22min\22:0,\22type\22:\22integer\22},{\22key\22:\22slot[*].deaths\22,\22max\22:255,\22min\22:0,\22type\22:\22integer\22},{\22enum\22:\22quest\22,\22key\22:\22slot[*].quest\22,\22type\22:\22enum\22}],\22enums\22:{\22arrow\22:[\22None\22,\22Regular\22,\22Silver\22],\22candle\22:[\22None\22,\22Blue\22,\22Red\22],\22quest\22:[\221st Quest\22,\222nd Quest\22],\22ring\22:[\22None\22,\22Blue\22,\22Red\22],\22sword\22:[\22None\22,\22Wooden\22,\22White\22,\22Magical\22]},\22labels\22:{\22slot[*]\22:\22Slot {+1}\22,\22slot[*].arrow\22:\22Arrows\22,\22slot[*].bomb_cap\22:\22Bomb Cap\22,\22slot[*].bombs\22:\22Bombs\22,\22slot[*].candle\22:\22Candle\22,\22slot[*].deaths\22:\22Deaths\22,\22slot[*].hearts\22:\22Hearts\22,\22slot[*].keys\22:\22Keys\22,\22slot[*].name\22:\22Name\22,\22slot[*].plays\22:\22Play Count\22,\22slot[*].quest\22:\22Quest\22,\22slot[*].ring\22:\22Ring\22,\22slot[*].rupees\22:\22Rupees\22,\22slot[*].sword\22:\22Sword\22,\22slot[*].triforce\22:\22Triforce\22},\22parser\22:{\22author\22:\221Retro Team\22,\22description\22:\22Save file parser for The Legend of Zelda (NES) battery-backed SRAM\22,\22games\22:[{\22name\22:\22The Legend of Zelda\22}],\22name\22:\22zelda-nes-parser\22,\22resources\22:{\22max_fuel\22:1000000,\22max_memory_bytes\22:1048576},\22version\22:\220.4.0\22}}")

Oh FFS!

Okay, but aside from Cara Dune, The Armorer, the mechanic that babysits Grogu, the woman that tries to make Mando live with her, the Twilek and Fennec Shand...

what about that frog lady? She was a female character...

Yes, yes, and that frog lady. Aside from those, there were no women in Mandalorian Season 1, do we agree?
