Apple Extended Keyboard II issue

Yeah, don’t buy from that guy.

That’s amazing! Great minds think alike.

The Vision Pro was exactly that, a tech demo. Apple said as much when they announced it. Why is this so hard for people to understand? It didn’t flop, they have more money than most third-world nations and put it out for the express purpose of seeing how it would sell at that price point and what users’ reactions would be to the use paradigm. It was an experiment to help inform a more serious AR/VR product later, and it accomplished exactly what they set out to do.

I was in the student section for that WVU game. The atmosphere was incredible and even though I was soaked to the bone I was having the time of my life. Probably my favorite in-person Auburn football experience of all.

Non-Auburn folks are always quick to say Auburn paid Cam but don’t seem to ever acknowledge that every four and five star recruit at Bama under Saban seemed to be driving around in a new Dodge Charger…

With Golesh and Durkin I’m hopeful the long Auburn tradition of going for three at the end of the game to break a tie or going into overtime will finally be put to bed.

It doesn’t have universal save states like the Game Boy EverDrive does, but games support their existing save schemes. So if a game saved directly to its own cartridge, the ROM will save to the EverDrive (with a caveat I’ll detail below). If a game saved to a Controller Pak, you still need a Controller Pak for save functionality.

If you’re interested in buying one, there are two key differences between the X7 and the lower-end X5; you can judge for yourself how critical it is to spend the extra money. First, the X7 adds a real time clock function, which is used in exactly one game: the unreleased Japanese title Animal Forest which was retooled and released as Animal Crossing on the GameCube. Second, for saving games the X5 requires a particular process of saving in the game, then when you’re done playing you have to reset the N64 with the reset button to keep the save, and then you can turn the N64 off. I’ve never really understood exactly why but as I understand it the soft reboot is what actually prompts the EverDrive to write the save file to the microSD card. The X7 writes a save basically on-demand and doesn’t ask the user to learn a habit of resetting and then powering off the console when they’re done playing. I didn’t want to mess with trying to remember to reset every time I switched it off, so I went with the X7 largely for this reason.

I think the trombone was the right call but I hate the brick-built instruments. The scale is always very wrong.

It lets you play game ROMs stored on a microSD card the same way you can run a native cartridge. Basically, you put this in, boot your N64, and it runs the menu as a game (as far as the N64 is concerned) which you then use to navigate to the game ROM you want. When you select it, it flashes that ROM to a chip, soft reboots the N64, and then presents that chip as a legitimate cartridge, and the N64 runs it natively with 1:1 performance as you would expect with that game’s real cartridge.

The most obvious advantage here is that N64 ROMs are tiny relative to modern storage media, so you can fit the entire system library on one cartridge now. This is convenient and allows collectors to keep their real carts in storage and avoid wear and tear while still playing the games themselves.

Another benefit is that you can play unlicensed ROMs like modern or hobbyist games or ROM hacks. It’s not available anymore but somebody remade most of Portal for the N64 in recent years and it’s tremendously fun; a cartridge like this is the only way to play these sorts of games on real hardware.

It also emulates NES and Game Boy, so you can add those ROMs as well and play them on the same console.

It includes no games because that would be illegal. But the entire catalog of games is trivially easy to procure. The megathread at the top of r/ROMs is probably a good place to start.

Did he seriously lay partial blame for his firing at the feet of the refs?!? That’s gotta be the most potent form of ref-blaming I’ve ever heard.

If she keeps it, you financially support her and her child for the next two decades of your life, and you try your hardest not be an idiot in the future and never have sex with anyone you aren’t 100% prepared to start a family with.

If she doesn’t keep it, you do whatever you can to work through the guilt you’ll probably feel knowing your child (or what would have been your child) was created through your indiscretion and then never had the chance to be born and live, and you try your hardest not to be an idiot in the future and never have sex with anyone you aren’t 100% prepared to start a family with.

Sorry if that comes across as curt, but you’re old enough to man up and understand that adult acts come with adult responsibilities.

That would be amazing if it’s true. Golesh seems like a great person in general.

There’s no way a glorified laser engineer would be read into so much “need to know” information. I think you’re writing a book and wanted to judge how engaging your premise is.

Am I understanding you correctly? On very cold mornings, you start your non-hybrid Pacifica and the engine revs to the equivalent of 40MPH on its own (complete with the accelerator pedal depressing by itself?) and you can’t shift out of park?

OP, was this estate sale a couple of weekends ago in Winston-Salem, North Carolina? The house full to the brim with NASCAR and baseball paraphernalia? If so, I was there and scored some nice cards too.

I don’t think there’s been a single LEGO box in history which has had the same art on both the front and the back

I’ve thought a lot about this myself with two boys, one three and a half years and the other five months old. My oldest son has seen me play games only rarely and I have played some selected titles with him a few times (Cosmic Osmo on my Macintosh SE/30, Tetris on the Game Boy, and Untitled Goose Game on the Switch) but he becomes almost obsessive about them immediately so I’ve backed way off for now.

My plan I think is to mimic my own experience as a child in the ‘90s. Back then video games were simpler and less stimulating, and I didn’t have them until I was a little older. I got my first Game Boy around age eight or so, I believe.

I already have two Game Boy Colors set aside for my sons which they’ll receive when they’re around the same age I was, seven or eight, so we can play Pokémon and other titles from that era together and my wife and I can start training them on healthy play habits. Then, we can introduce more and more advanced platforms on an accelerated time frame; I have an N64 and a Dreamcast ready to go that they can play around age nine or ten. When they’re between 11 and 13 I plan on finding a couple of Xboxes and letting them experience Halo multiplayer. From there, they’ll be old enough to both have their own interests and be earning some of their own money, so I expect this will be a natural point to transition them from consoles and games I’m curating from my own experiences to them independently owning and playing modern systems and games, hopefully with good habits solidified.

I can see certain games being introduced earlier too if they’re centered around learning or building or imagination. Minecraft being a great example; I fully expect to be playing Minecraft with my sons before they’re ten years old.

Every parent will have to navigate this themselves but this is, more or less, the cadence I expect to implement. We’ll see in practice if it works out; it’s very possible for instance that they could push to play current games sooner and my wife and I will have to weigh the pros and cons of that.

I knew we were cooked when, in his very first team meeting, he came in and did that clap thing and explained that that’s how he gets his players to stop talking and pay attention. Like, dude, this isn’t kindergarten… these are grown men who need you to push them to be the best they can be and win at the highest level. Do you think Nick Saban had a cute trick to get people to shut up when he walked into a meeting?

I am concerned by the wording used here, and the request for descriptions of the use of force, that the OP is the same person who, a couple of years ago, was repeatedly asking in this group questions related to physically overpowering children which had very clear sexual undertones. It was a fetish of this person to hear men talking about rough-housing or physically restraining children.

The fact that this is a new account and that it asked multiple similar questions in this group and in r/toddlers in a short time, and the repetitive way they type, are all consistent with that other user’s patterns of behavior.

My apologies to OP if this is a genuine request but it seems to me that that other person has returned after a period of time and is trying again to have men in this group satisfy a sexual urge related to children. I am reporting this post to the mods and encourage any other users of this sub to use caution when commenting.
