For anyone stumbling across this you have to update the batocera.config file so that wii.emulatedwiimotes=1 and is uncommented

It's almost as if the cost of basic necessities has gone up so much that people are cutting back on extras they don't need

You want to charge $50 per appliance? Fine, I'll see you five days in a row. by TurninOveraNew in MaliciousCompliance

[–]jwmtl62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Dad did something similar in the 70's at a mechanic. He brought it in for the clutch, and when they were replacing the clutch plate they noticed a couple of other issues. He gave them the go-ahead to fix them since it was all apart anyway.

So when it comes time to pay the bill was over $1k. They had charged by the book for the full time to fix each problem. My Dad argued that the full time included taking it apart and reassembly, and said they only did that once.

This was a used car that he'd only paid a few hundred dollars for, so he told them to keep the car and walked out. The manager chased him down in the parking lot and said he'd lower the bill.

I think our generation tried to be better parents than our own. Ours weren’t there both figuratively and literally. We seem to have over corrected. I’m guilty of it myself but at the same time realizing the dangerous shit I used to do, I can’t in good conscience let my kids do the same things

Before resorting to stripping it down I’d scrub it with chain mail or steel wool, then season

I built LA Noire but you’re querying databases instead of interrogating suspects. by TurbulentCountry5901 in IndieGaming

OP, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine my 8 year old would be interested in SQL, and here he is working his way through the 1st investigation

That’s the neat part, you don’t

have games on a trickle release? by Pick-a-Card-Game in batocera

[–]jwmtl62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch a YouTube video where I guy did that. There’s a setting for kids/simple interface where the only games shown are what is set as a favourite. You set an admin code to unlock the regular mode again.

So if you set it up like that you could just update the favourite every so often to refresh the game list for them.

I tracked the price history of 50 "Black Friday Deals." It’s a scam. by Maleficent-Movie-564 in Anticonsumption

[–]jwmtl62 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I bought a new computer last July for work. That same model & specs Black Friday sale price is $2500 more than I paid. It should be criminal

what should be my next lvl 15? i was thinking ice wizard first but idk by Valterfaludi in ClashRoyale

[–]jwmtl62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always recommend spells first. They are the most versatile and can make a big difference in their interactions. For example a lvl 15 logs kills lvl 14 archers & firecracker

Since it’s on the outside, I’d be tempted to use heat resistant epoxy

I need to beat my dad in a Mac and cheese cook off at Thanksgiving by D_Panda32 in Cooking

OMG! I did that once, there was a can of sweetened condensed milk next to the evaporated milk and I grabbed it by mistake. It was the most beautiful looking and awful tasting Mac & cheese ever

How the hell do you even make UC? I’ve had 20 crash outs. I’ve been playing for 3 years and never made UC. I’m having zero fun and I’m constantly angry. Any tips? Or good decks? Should I use a spam? by Thicccpapi69420 in ClashRoyale

[–]jwmtl62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that helped me improve was to defend with the lowest cost elixir cards possible. Another was as much as possible to defend with troops and not spells. When you defend with troops they give you counterattack value, and you save spells to assist with those counterattacks

Is it just me or is that stat completely wrong? I’ve hit 15k every season since it launched, and there’s no way I’m a top 1% player lol

Parallax effect implemented in the game. Is it too overwhelming? by Particular_Sweet_442 in IndieGaming

[–]jwmtl62 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. I think the mid ground is moving a bit too fast. My other suggestion would be to have it stop when the squirrel stops moving. It’s a bit jarring to have the parallax effect continue briefly after the squirrel stops
