My personal console colection. What's your favourite Gameboy?
  • Mt favorite is my red SP. I put so many hours into that thing playing Fire Red and Zelda. My first gameboy was a green GBC, but I tried to “mod” it with a rechargeable battery in highschool, and ended up frying it :(

    I still have my red SP, but I can’t play it because the screen is atrocious. I find it hard to believe that I was ever able to play on that thing! I also don’t want to risk modding it (even though I’m much better at that stuff than I was in HS lol)

  • Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts
  • I use Kagi and never pay more than $10/mo even though I use it a lot. I think most people don’t know how much they search in a month, so the pricing can be confusing.

    I have the early adopter pro plan, which gives me extra searches (1500 instead of 1000), but for reference, I averaged 1044 searches/mo over the past 6 months (not counting this month). So if I had the standard pro plan, I’d have paid $10.66 per month on average.

    The unlimited plan seems excessive to me, unless you’re playing with the API or something like that.

  • List of lemmy apps
  • Sucks that all of the iOS apps require getting an invite to TestFlight, including joining some discord server to ask for it. It doesn’t help that Lemmy on mobile Safari sucks, so being an iOS user on Lemmy requires either a lot of patience or a high level of commitment.

    It’s nice that there are a lot being worked on, but I feel like whichever hits the appstore first will win.

  • time to game
  • No joke I have this controller too and it's great. The left analog stick on mine started to drift after about a year of street fighter, but that's better than most controllers. A hall effect version of this thing would be the last controller I'd ever buy.

  • Any Metroid fans on Lemmy?
  • Hell yeah! I still think about Metroid Prime every now and then. That’s an adventure that sticks with you.

    … although I wouldn’t mind forgetting the fully-voice buddy characters from 3.

  • Best GameCube Controllers at this point?
  • The Smash controller is very good, but not as good as an original. The new one is lighter, is made of cheaper materials (my non-scientific opinion from holding them), and has triggers that can get stuck at certain angles.

    But as far as modern GC controllers go, that's probably the best option.

  • wsl
  • ACTUALLY it's GNU/Linux (pronounced gu-noo-SLASH-li-nux). I know it's just a "meme", but get your facts straight buddy, this ain't fucking le reddit.

    Don't make me have to rm -rf your ass.

  • S1E14 - What is this reverse 🖖 hand signal Riker does?
  • Maybe that's the evil Riker? I bet people from the mirror dimension do the vulcan salute backwards like that, and Gene probably could've been fooled at the time if they hadn't yet introduced the mirror dimension concept.

  • Now Lemmy Explain: Kbin
  • It’s a Lemmy alternative. They aim to do more or less the same thing, but are made by different people and developed independently.

    But thanks to federation, Lemmy and Kbin can communicate similar to how Lemmy and Mastodon can communicate. So you can simply use the one you like best, and not worry about missing out on content posted to Lemmy.

    Kbin is rough around the edges as it’s earlier in development than Lemmy, but it has more features than Lemmy, like a “microblogs” tab so that you can use it like Mastodon/Twitter if you want.

  • Modern or Classic controls?

    I would do a poll if I knew how, but screw it.

    Which do you use? I use classic controls and I get salty whenever I get destroyed by a modern player even though it’s 100% my fault for sucking.
