Children should play a bootleg console at least once in their lives. A good 'ol famiclone. A NES on a chip or anything that promises 99999999 games in one but they are repeats or just start at a different level. This kind of disappointment and wonder is a unique brew of an experience that is both cheap and rich in questionable fun. A lie with an upside. Bonus points if they are actually rom hacks with the weirdest promises.

@adiwan As a child I had an N64 controller that you would plug into a tv and it would load up 900 NES and arcade roms, probably less than a hundred of which were unique games. Kids today now can get handheld that do the same thing on Temu, everything is properly labeled, the emulators don’t run at half speed, sometimes they play like PS2 games and Fluffle Puff, you can load your own on an sd card… it just ain’t the same.

@zeldatra For some reason I stumble upon reviews of those emulation machines and even now they are not always delivering the proper performance to even run NES games at a smooth performance. PS2 games, even PS1 and Dreamcast are a joke. There are only few exceptions where they run well enough for an enjoyable experience. The famiclone I had in the 90s was a weird "handheld" one. It was a big black "Game Gear"-like case without a screen that plugged directly into a AC/DC adaptor and it needed to be connected with a RF coax cable to the TV. It really sucked as over time both power and TV plugs on it got loose.

Having cold sweats and the feeling of fainting because gas accumulated in the bowels is probably the worst and most embarrassing way to feel ill.

I'm far from being fat. It shocked me that the belt buckle of my belt broke. It broke from material fatigue. The part that broke was in particular that what is attached to the leather belt. I practically wore the belt for over 4 years, almost daily. Luckily it happened at home. It'd have been embarrassing anywhere else.

I HATE GOING TO IKEA. I wanted to buy their pegboard for some organization. Especially there are tons of 3d-printable stuff for that and it is reasonably cheap. However the way to, being at, and the way from IKEA is dreadful. Too many people. Too many cars. Too many people without who are absent-minded. It took half an hour longer than needed in an ideal situation.

Ah... The onboarding process to a new project is always littered with problems. Somehow all my system accesses are not configured and even more strangely days after getting an account it is marked for deletion.

Also every Dragon Engine game is capable of importing anims from every other DE game except Virtua Fighter 5 (for somewhat obvious reasons) and Gaiden. Even Infinite Wealth, from which Gaiden’s engine was forked, can’t open Gaiden animations, you have to use a tool to convert it first.

Dragon Engine is crazy. Game refuses to boot if a texture is missing but lose track of a tops model and the game boots fine and lets you walk around as a disembodied head.

The video editor Kdenlive is not so bad. I've been playing with it since it is stable for a long while and the last time I used it was 10 years ago when I was doing my Bachelor thesis. And back then it was in a buggy alpha state. There are however still tons of room for improvements. Especially in the effects department, and the adding and removal of video and audio tracks. For some reason once the project has been initialized you cannot add more tracks. In the audio department I'd like to have bezier curves in the track view to adjust the volume. At least it isn't crashing.

@adiwan I've had a recurring issue with video editors where I cut down a large clip to the part I want, then apply some kind of speed change or reverse it or something, and suddenly the clip I'd made is a different portion of the original video. I guess I'm asking if this ever happened to you at all, and/or if this new one does it at all? lol
-
@scribus So far it hasn't happened to me. In fact I did a speed change to a small portion and it correctly identified that I can enter a maximum speed value until it doesn't fit on the track because a following clip is in its way. However I have to enter that value manually. Clunky but it works.
