What's your favorite note-taking application?
Me too. Something about the bullet point style of note taking just clicked in me, and now I can't go back.
Do any of y'all know where I can get a retro box?
Looks like someone is ready to start enjoying retro gaming! For real beginners I recommend Data frog SF2000, for about €15 you get device that can run 6k games (and it arrives with RCA cable too) and doesn't require poking Retro arch settings. Once hooked you can search and find dedicated device that can run more advanced consoles, can be plugged directly into HDMI port of your TV, etc.
