ModRetro is back in the retro-game spotlight with a new gadget, so it bears repeating: “Do not buy the war crime N64” https://aftermath.site/war-crime-n64-palmer-luckey-m64-modretro/

i’m like kinda hyped? i think this is the first time i’ve ever got a console on launch, so it’ll be cool to actually participate in the hype cycle for once lol

i want to build a culture of documentation in the Swift community, and that starts with making the underlying tooling seamless and fun

i’m replaying Kingdom Hearts 1 (after impulse-purchasing the Steam remasters on sale) and i feel like i’m touching long-dormant memories
i 100%’d the original as a kid but i haven’t replayed it past the intro since then

thinking about the DS and how best to play those games
i have an old DS flash cart but it's one of the old ones that only accepts a 2GB SD card >_> i could get a new one but then i have to get a new SD card, and then i have to make sure that the flash card i get is actually decent quality and works with an unlocked kernel so it won't hit a timebomb after a year
i could load roms onto my 3DS, but that's actually *really* slow to deal with, because of the number of 3DS games i've downloaded plus the delay of opening TwilightMenu. it actually makes using my 3DS kind of chore and makes me not want to use it most of the time
there's emulation but then i'm dealing with the form factor - if i'm not playing on my Steam Deck or my phone, i need to do something weird to deal with the touchscreen. other handhelds need an alternate input mode to operate emulated touch, and a PC/Mac will need to deal with a mouse to do it.
Delta is pretty good with DS emulation, but i still feel Really Weird about running any game with more time investment than sudoku on my phone tbh. i have a really hard time getting into anything that way
so those are my options. juggle files, spend $30, deal with slowness, or deal with weirdness. and thinking about how to do it "best" makes me avoid actually *playing video games* 🫠

just as a general note (and as something i can pin): i have a personal rule to not boost images without descriptions. i also tend to double-check the descriptions to make sure they're actually useful before boosting, as well.
