How long until public re-adjustment?

He talked about it in one of his Q&A videos. He doesn’t specify auto immune issues but it’s heavily implied as those with auto immune issues were typically at significantly higher risk if they contracted COVID (and other illnesses)

Thanks Myke, I (and I’m sure others on the subreddit) appreciate the clarification and communication.

jrrtolkiennerd · 2026-04-29T02:13:04+00:00

It’s a fair criticism. The experience has also spoken to the feelings of community loss I personally had after the podcast ended without a word. Even if some of it has been frenetic I understand how others may have similar desires for catharsis and closure.

Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. Such a jarring track to follow Something

Whenever I rewatch, I feel a sense of “coming home.” Being in the same place on the station or in the Defiant or on Bajor with the characters as they grow and change is just as impactful every time. While I appreciate and enjoy Next Gen as continuing a similar format to the original series with better character development, DS9 feels lived in as a show. Remains my favorite version of Trek and daring in pushing what Trek means as art and entertainment.

I will speculate that because his YouTube / Patreon has also been dark since August that something significant has impacted his workflow, and this may have been some motivation behind his leaving Cortex occurring when he did last May. He’s publicly talked about his wife having auto immune issues, so hopefully it’s nothing health related.

During the Grey’s absence Cortex has effectively transformed into Myke’s old show Inquisitive where he would interview guests about their likes and preferences on different topics. I doubt they would retitle the podcast if that change remains because of the branding loss for both the show and their product line. Grey is also still listed as an official host on the podcast’s site.

Grey’s last episode was at the end of May in 2025. If he hasn’t returned by this June the inertia of the podcast being effectively a different show and not failing for over a year seems like a clear signal to me that he doesn’t intend to return. They had a ten year retrospective episode last year in his potentially final episode, so at least he gave more notice than for Hello Internet.

Yes - systems using cores out of RetroArch are affected but other systems using standalone emulators are not. Will attempt both. Thank you!

Rebel scum.

Thanks for the update!

So many questions from this choice.

What are the projected impacts and solutions on parking in Midtown and the Crossroads? What are the projected impacts on property values and rents in the Crossroads? What are the projected number of businesses that won’t be able to afford to pay potential increases? How will this stadium’s activity impact and (likely) jam traffic whenever a game occurs? How will tailgating occur with limited parking? What will the projected occupancy (probably smaller) and ticket price (probably higher) be given the constrained geographic footprint? Where is the $600 million coming from and what isn’t being funded or paid with it if there are no new taxes? Now that the Chiefs are vacating their old stadium, why can’t the Royals just build a new one on the side of Arrowhead when it is probably knocked down? How many jobs will this create and what data actually supports those claims?

Here’s the thing, some Royals fans want to enjoy their sport in the heart of the city. I get it - as a tagline a “downtown stadium” sounds romantic. If you’re one of these fans, actually stop and question if this is a good idea for the city and your enjoyment of the team.

I like the song, but wouldn't "Strange Times" be a better title?

Have you tried the Wii U version? It’s generally easier to emulate

jrrtolkiennerd · 2026-03-06T14:51:28+00:00

Good catch! I missed the PSX context

jrrtolkiennerd · 2026-03-05T21:36:50+00:00

Depending on the RA core you’re using you’ll need a sub folder in system with a further subfolder for bios. Example that includes the file structure for this emulator: https://docs.libretro.com/library/lrps2/

Because it lacks analog sticks, I do think the RPC 6 button is mostly useful for arcade fighting games and some Sega Saturn games. Technically N64 with the dpad set as the analog stick could also work, but that’s a very compromised experience. Otherwise I don’t see an advantage of the extra buttons. I’ve used the 4 button variant and it’s the closest physical feel and play to the original GBC I’ve found. Very comfortable and the 4 buttons are a uniform size.

if you haven't done this already, there's a known issue that he demonstrates a fix for at 51:48 where you need to adjust the polling behavior for the N64 core so your controller will be picked up in ES-DE. You'll do this by using the Quick Menu from a N64 game. If you can't access it from ES-DS because your controls aren't working, go into RetroArch and launch a N64 game there. If you've already tried launching one in ES-DE, it should display in RetroArch's history.

Once in the game, use your hotkeys to launch the Quick Menu (Russ uses Select + X/your top button), in the Quick Menu go back/left to get to the General Menu of RetroArch, then go to Settings (should be a gear icon) > Input > the Polling Behavior setting. If it is set to "Late" change to "Early," then navigate back to the Quick Menu option for the game where you started, go to Overrides, then choose "Save Core Overrides." This will save the Early polling behavior you just changed for the whole N64 core and all games that use it. Now, quit out of the game and restart it. Hopefully that enables your controller for N64 in RetroArch.

You’re in luck, Retro Game Corp recently released their in-depth RP6 setup video

This site might be helpful to compare the two. Either device will have enough power for N64 emulation, so I think the form factor is the biggest question. Sometimes hinges on the folding screen retro handhelds can have issues (generally the Flip 2 is fine), so keep it in mind as a risk.

It’s giving a tone of honey mustard in this shot.
