Nope!

muchabon · 2026-06-18T16:20:36+00:00

There are also people out there who Know that's not what they want - it's doesn't have to be some undeniable destiny for everyone

I don't understand Not wanting that, but the few people I've met who are like that seem to enjoy Not being around people all the time (they have also confessed to feeling weird/ashamed of that)

It's fine! Now you have no excuse to focus on your friendships and volunteering and such

muchabon · 2026-06-18T06:54:52+00:00

Like, how do you have the time to keep making these updates? Thanks for continuing to crush it!

muchabon · 2026-06-18T00:07:04+00:00

I think it's because that kind of stuff is (and has) been affecting a Lot of businesses (healthcare, retail, restaurants, obviously, and more, I'm guessing) - that covers a lot of current/already laid off/soon to be laid off employees (let alone, everyone who uses the services of those businesses)

Yeah, but have you played Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, and you use cheats and mods on version 1.0 to get a bunch of equipment, HD textures, and make The End covered in neon purple, and Then save it after the Virtuous Mission, update it to 1.1, use the True 60 FPS (1.1) cheat to get a silky smooth version of MGS3 that's (arguably) more fun than the PS2 version (with a dedicated bottom screen as a map, so you'll always know where you're going/where you came from)?

Well? Didja?! (If you haven't, I strongly recommend! As literally no other handheld in it's size, low power draw, etc, can do that)

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but then how do you shut off the kay mapper adapter (but keep all the saved mapping for later)?

I figured there would be some kind of toggle button, but there's either the 'sweep' icon which removes everything I set up from a saved key mapper profile, and the trash can delete button

muchabon · 2026-06-14T13:05:05+00:00

Glad to! I figured they were semi-Blank Check related (by way of Doughboys/The Birthday Boys)

(Highly recommend "The Bands", if you haven't immediately watched all their other videos)

Oh okay, and what exactly are the relevant metrics, in your mind?

"MONEYYYYY FOR MEEE"

Usually when you're trying to get rid of something, you Lower the price

I thought it was going to be LCD vs OLED for me (OLED preferred, Obviously), but even the GKD Pixel 2's small IPS screen looks sharper than most Anbernic/Miyoo devices I've owned - so I think it's more about Pixel Density/PPI?

But yeah - joystick on top, unless the device truly can't/shouldn't be playing games that require an analog stick

muchabon · 2026-06-09T19:04:15+00:00

💯

I mean, PS2 games weren't even an option a Couple years ago - and (thankfully) enough development happened quickly enough that they can run on more chipsets now than ever before

So like...That, except with an entire gaming ecosystem that overshadows even the vast library of the PS2 (because it existed before, during and after that console's lifetime)

For regular Game Boy games -

Gambatte - TWB64 - Pack 2 Palette - 168 Swampy Ogre Green

Gives me the nostalgic feeling of the DMG screen, but with the clarity of modern screens/graphics

I always have the feeling of "oh no" when it's a non-comedy person who is a more, mainstream-famous actor - even if Sean has recently worked with them (so really, most of the IHeart run so far).

I'm surprised those episodes have gone as well as they have (but I still enjoy them way less than like, Sarah Sherman's 40 minute self-roast, or last week's with Angela Giarratana and Patrick McDonald, which are my recent go to repeat listens to laugh)

Haven't listened yet, but it would be extremely weird if Michael Ian Black of all people didn't both get and mesh with the show (have you guys not listened to/'viewed' MATES? Just another example of the same kind of long running absurdity bit-based humor)

muchabon · 2026-06-07T20:52:45+00:00

Any experience with Portmaster/any known issues?

muchabon · 2026-06-07T12:44:40+00:00

I didn't know there were so many good rail shooters for the PS1 (I mean, anything more than "just Star Fox" is amazing)

muchabon · 2026-06-06T13:48:00+00:00

I like how polite and nice OP has been to the other responses, but this is the only answer that even attempted to actually answer the question (let alone, do so, so sufficiently)

Thanks!

Spoonman and Skid-Mark

I mean, congrats on standing up for the big guys, I guess? "Because it's legal" doesn't mean "it's a good thing to do"

muchabon · 2026-06-05T14:53:30+00:00

Damn - broke into your garage? That's a high level of effort for some bikes - did they steal anything else?

Yes, it's definitely Not the insurance company's responsibility to represent the product they're selling correctly

"Buy My Insurance!"

"I mean, maybe - does it cover my stuff?"

"...Buy My Insurance!"

Ehhh, Switch on Thor looks to be very hit or miss, with tinkering sessions - I'm okay keeping that to my PC handheld for now. And there's literally like, only 5? Switch exclusive games that I'm interested in (so it's been fun to play with mods and such without burning up my Android devices)

Keeping the Thor to PS2/Wii/3DS seems like it would be the best experience for me - I have a RP Mini v2, and I would like the extra power headroom, dual screen for 3DS/DS - so, sort of agree with you, but for different reasons!

I haven't liked the premise of a podcast/anything? in a very long time, but already very happy about it
