  • Not tourist per se, but I live next to a large state university, and it's either the college kids themselves or their families doing the stupid shit. It's very wooded in my area while still being "suburbany", so we get those people admiring the foliage in the fall.

    In the winter when it snows, for a lot of the students and their families it's their first time driving in it and it shows. I suppose I can cut them some slack for that though if they've never had to drive in it.

    Anyway, it's just mainly oblivious drivers, that are either attempting to find their way around so they drive extra slow or stop suddenly in the middle of the road, or the go ripping through the neighborhood because of the traffic on the main roads. Like, come on, there are kids playing and such, you can go 50mph through the neighborhoods around here with the number of kids playing. I've proposed multiple times for speed bumps in the neighborhoods around the university, but the council says "it will impede the flow of traffic" ?!? That's the fucking point, morons! Ugh.

    When it comes to handheld gaming, you could drown in the number of options to choose from. The best way to narrow things down is to consider what you’re looking for out of a handheld. Do you want something palm-sized that can easily slip into a front pocket? Or are you cool with something larger that can be tossed in a bag, while still being viable for daily use? It’s fair to say that the ROG Ally, for example, is not exactly something you want to lug around constantly, but its raw power makes up for tho

    BotW on Cemu

    Just wanted to post that I have BotW running on Cemu for Android on my RP5. By running it, I mean it hovers around 15-20 FPS, playable but not jaw dropping performance.

    I have left the Great Plateau, and am closing in on Kakariko, having gotten the Shekiah Tower by Dualing Peaks, and several shrines along the way. We'll see how it does when I get to Kakariko, since that seems to be a difficult spot for hardware to run, even on my switch I noticed frame drops when entering. Maybe I'll do a screen recording and post it for Ss&Gs

    When I first started trying to play BotW, Cemu would crash inside the shrine of resurrection, so this is a marker improvement. I have done no tweaking, just waiting for Cemu updates to drop.

    Anyway, thanks for reading. Also, I'm posting stuff in the hopes of keeping this community having new content (even if my content isn't very good).

  • Of course, I didn't mean any disrespect or to suggest you thought that way yourself. ā¤ļø

  • The verse you are thinking of is from the New Testament, Matthew 6:5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."

    Edit: While also not a biblical scholar, I don't think this verse is condemning what the good Reverend is doing here, rather the overly pompous and egregious prayers and acts that some "christians" feel like they have to do to gather as much attention to themselves as possible. Case in point; any time I would go out to a restaurant with my parents, they would make a big show of bowing their heads and praying loudly over their food. Things we didn't do at home growing up.

  • Hopefully Wayland will work with my GTX 1050.... (please)

  • pokes sun come on..... do something....

  • That's fair. And when people don't want to put in any effort and "just want it to work" right out of the box, that opens the door for corporations to take advantage. Although I understand the desire to just "have it work".

  • IoT held such promise back when it was first talked about. It's disappointing that once again, capitalism ruined it, like everything else it touches.

  • Do you recall if it was PC or one of the game systems from the time?

    Edit: Never mind, did some googling lol. PC, Game boy and Game boy color were the systems jt was released on. šŸ“ā€ā˜ ļø

  • Trump kinda has a Lloyd Bridges look going on, on that front cover.

  • I didn't notice the legs at first, and given the reflection in the water, I though it was just hovering there, like some sort of swanicopter.

  • Sumsung: Check out this cool new shit OneUI 7 does! Also Samsung: We've halted OneUI 7 rollout for the foreseeable future.

  • Sign me up, I have a bachelor's in Electrical Engineering and a Master's in Systems Engineering. Not an immigrant though, unless you go back a couple hundred years, but I'll gladly leave given the state of things.

  • Thirded. Triced? Anyway, I haven't gamed in front of a TV or monitor in almost a decade. All of it has been handheld (either 3DS early in those 10 years, or now with either phone or a Retro gaming device of some sort, or a switch, I dont have a steamdeck).

    And I haven't had a long gaming session in almost that same time frame. Games that I can pick up and play for 10s of minutes before I have to go be an adult again are the ones that get played the most.

    Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero on Cemu (RP5)

    Just wanted to say that Shantae works very very well in Cemu for Android, if you are a fan of that series.

    One of the things I've enjoyed about having an RP5, is being able to play the games I either didn't know about as a kid, or that I never would have bought (either because I knew my parents wouldn't get it for me, or would throw a fit if I bought it)

    Shantae is one of those game. I've been enjoying playing it. Maybe should have started with the GBA version, but I gave the WiiU version a try. Lots of fun!

    Vita3K stuttering on RP5

    I haven't seen much regarding Vita3K functionality on the RP5, so I was wondering if anyone has had stuttering issues with Vita3K on the RP5? Is it just a driver issue I need to play around with? Or maybe Vita3K just isn't all that ready for prime time, or the RP5 isn't just able to handle Vita emulation?

    Just started taking Ozempic

    My Endo just started me on Ozempic. I'm a type 2, 42 years old and I've been in the low 7s for my A1C for the last 6 months with using metformin, Jardinace, glipizide, and moderate exercise and diet changes. I am about 30 pounds over weight as well and have been having a horrible time losing any weight at all.

    Anyway, I'm starting at a 0.25mg dose for four weeks then moving to the therapeutic dose of 0.5mg after, and even now while starting the 0.25mg dose, I really have no desire to eat. It's like a switch was flipped. Before, I was thinking about what to eat next constantly, was basically food fixated, and now I couldn't care less. Maybe it's partly a placebo effect, but hopefully not.

    Anyway, just wanted to share my starting experiences with Ozempic. I'll come back and update as I go along with this medication. Thanks for reading!

    searching for instances on Jerboa

    Going to the search feature doesn't seem to yield any results when I search for things. Ex: I want to find Disney instances, but typing in 'Disney' in the search field provides no results.

    I am on an instance that is at version 0.18.

    Any help is appreciated!!
