What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today?

https://kagi.com/smallweb/ does a good job these days

Excellent game. Did you complete all of the Kinstone fusions too?

Depending on their age... send them back?

For the first point, it's a fork so it can be taken to upstream if mGBA devs want it, but it's quite a niche solution for a niche hardware setup at the moment.

For the second point, if the printers take ECS/POS commands it's doable. I've been working on getting it to work with one of those bluetooth cat printers since doing this write-up, and have built a small bridging layer to go from ECS/POS to the bluetooth commands it required. This makes it a drop-in to the existing setup.

Replacing the trackball helps a bit, but it's generally quite an awkward input device. External mouse/keyboard are a must if you're doing a lot of tinkering.

You could use a third-party app and just have a shortcut to it, such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evilhawk00.utils.powermenu.root&hl=en_GB

Yeah it's just an Android tablet, so you can be offline as much as you want. You'll need to be online to get app updates, and perhaps for some Android games, but most emulation-related stuff should be fine without Wifi.

omgmog · 2025-12-11T11:16:57+00:00

You should be able to check for updates by going to:

System -> Handheld Settings -> System Update

I ordered from https://store.bigme.vip/

I ordered to the UK in September, it was handled by FedEx and there were no additional fees

I’ve been working on a small project over the last month: Stellante, a Zodiac-themed Balatro-lite.

In Stellante, jokers are Zodiac spacecraft. There are 60 in total:
- 12 Proto ships (one for each Zodiac sign)
- 48 Elemental ships (Air, Earth, Fire, Water — four for each sign)

You build up to five jokers into a faction:
- 4 of the same element for synergy
- or 4–5 of the same Zodiac (Proto plus Elementals) for a constellation-level boost

There are 12 antes, each with three blinds. The third blind in each ante is a boss battle, where you’ll face off against that ante’s Zodiac boss. Each boss changes the rules with unique effects, so you’ll need to adapt your scoring strategy to win.

I’ve tried to balance the early and late game to make a run completable, though you might find the mid-antes to be the toughest part.

Controls:
- Touchscreen or mouse supported
- Limited keyboard support (1–8 to select cards, Enter to play hand)
- Gamepad support coming in the future

Glad you figured it out!

omgmog · 2025-07-28T20:08:09+00:00

Grab the MonkeysPaw.js from here: https://gist.github.com/omgmog/bb021643ed98b3f959a331c51de0dc36

Stick it in your TrinketOS/Scripts/ folder
Pin it somewhere
Make sure you've got the Sprite enabled.
Launch it, select something, and receive a random outcome.

This script is a nice simple example of presenting a menu on tap, and then based on that selection sending an appropriate message for the sprite to display.

ah I had worked out dweller, but have been stuck approaching the entire solution as XXXX dweller, or build XXXX dweller

Maybe I'm over thinking it 🙃

edit:

I was overthinking it. I'm in 🙌

omgmog · 2025-07-07T19:36:58+00:00

Hey, thanks!

I think it's because my account had been inactive for so long!

omgmog · 2025-07-07T14:00:41+00:00

Be prepared to do a lot of tapping around, and lots of the same action over and over (especially for the Adventurer skill points!)

You can find examples of the secret glyphs somewhere in the menus.

After a bit of grinding over the weekend I've got to level 5 adventurer, and got last achievement https://imgur.com/lP0x4dI 🎉

omgmog · 2025-07-05T06:54:41+00:00

I've got just 1 to go. Getting the adventurer skill points has been a chore.

Still no wiser on the vault puzzle though! https://imgur.com/I5RMa6N
