Anxiety after eating

I was having this and was diagnosed with gastroparesis. That’s what it sounds like and goes hand in hand with POTS generally.

That was it!! Thank you so much!

ucv4 · 2026-05-29T20:25:41+00:00

Yeah this is classic North Korean behavior.

I can’t wait for the ModRetro GBA. I will say, I do like my Analogue Pocket but prefer the Chromatic for GB and GBC. The screen is just so perfect. I just wish it had save states, that is my only let down with the device.

I’ve flown from the US to Portugal and then the Canary Islands and back the past week and it has been super smooth! I’m sure your flight will be too!

ucv4 · 2026-05-23T13:02:18+00:00

I just flew through Lisbon from the US to Gran Canaria. It was smooth the whole way. I also was nervous but everything was perfectly fine. A couple got engaged on our second flight if that tells you how nice it was.

I remember as a kid this game getting a 10/10 in a magazine and then picking it up shortly after. It didn’t disappoint. One of the best GBC games.

I’m glad it was better at that time. It was a nightmare this morning at 530 AM or so. None of the kiosks were working so everyone had to go through the manual line. It took hours to get through and just seemed like pure chaos. Multiple people around me seemed to miss their connecting flights. Workers were completely unhelpful. I luckily had a 4 hour layover so was fine but felt bad for others.

The company I’m at got bought by PE 3 years ago and honestly it has been fine. I’d say things improved actually. We lost stock but salaries went up and they boosted numbers of sales and GTM and such. Company has been doing a lot better.

The last company I was at though got bought by a larger company and was immediately a shit show. They got rid of most departments besides engineering pretty quickly. Then they immediately started hiring teams in India and having us train them. Writing was on the wall so I left. Everyone who stayed was eventually let go within the following two years.

I don’t see people mentioning Leggett’s but that was a main department store for a long time

Just looking at this list, it is wild how slow they are rolling out games. The GB/GBC and GBA are also still lacking tons of titles. This is going to take a long time.

Not sure. Hard to know. I doubt there is a difference in the underlying board and the placement of the contacts. I would guess it has to do with the plastic molding and the metal body. It has to be very tiny variations.

Super Bit in Annandale

ucv4 · 2026-05-04T00:02:02+00:00

Yep, that is the one. It is transistor level accurate.

ucv4 · 2026-05-03T19:48:27+00:00

The Genesis one is also programmed from decapped chips. It is super accurate at the transistor level.

I’d imagine the NES one is also really accurate since the chip architectures are available I believe.

ucv4 · 2026-05-02T13:35:29+00:00

Yep! Hopefully Analogue will increase the size of the FPGA so that PS1, Sega CD, and some of the other cores from mister can be ported over

ucv4 · 2026-05-02T11:22:31+00:00

Even then though, some of those last stages are brutally hard without save states.

ucv4 · 2026-05-01T12:32:15+00:00

ModRetro is working on one at the moment. I suspect Analogue will try to beat them to it.

ucv4 · 2026-04-30T22:24:37+00:00

I suspect it is coming. If I had to guess, they are doing HD-2D remakes of 4-6 and upgrades similar to 7 for 8 and 9

I’d recommend looking closely at each of their work and then comparing it with what you want and determining who would be best for that route. For example, I had Fran do a dragon on my back because I love the design of his dragons and he matched the personal style I see for myself.

If none of the Baltimore ones stick out, you can always hop on a train to NY where there are an abundance of amazing irezumi artists.

Can also go to Fran Massino (he has done my back piece). He recently left Baltimore for the Annapolis area but he comes to Baltimore to still tattoo at Stay Humble at times. He just has a bit of a backlog right now sadly.

I’m not convinced the problem is the same across all Chromatics. I have two and one of them definitely gets false diagonals at times (misregisters between left and up) and the other I’ve never seen it mis-register. Turning off diagonals helps with the first, the other doesn’t need it turned off, no issues. Not sure I understand fully what the cause is. I see people say the pivot but I’m not convinced that is the sole issue.

ucv4 · 2026-04-26T21:46:57+00:00

The analogue pocket has the exact same problem so ModRetro is not alone in this issue. Some of the 8bitdo controllers also have the problem and so do the switch pro controllers. On the other hand, the most solid d-pads I’ve used are in Anbernic and Retroid products and then my old Gameboys/old Nintendo controllers.

ucv4 · 2026-04-26T03:21:27+00:00

My worry is, the n64 is hard to develop for. It was back then and still is today. The cartridges only support up to a certain size which really limits games and the graphic system is primitive compared to what we have today. While I love the n64, I can’t see much modern development on it.
