Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Blast Em. https://www.retrodev.com/blastem/

Standalone (not retro arch). Modern emulator (don’t think it’s updated anymore though). Linux support. I think it’s also available on Flathub if you want to get it via there.

Or…

Ares. https://ares-emu.net

Multi system emulator originally developed by Near (rip). Yes, it plays more systems than you are looking for, but it is simple, standalone (no retroarch/libretro), very good, Linux support, and still updated (latest version 23 Jan). Also available on Flathub if you want it there.

I suggest to try these emulators, they’re modern and they aim for cycle accuracy, rather than finding a way to keep a 15 year old emulator running.

Me. A flatpak Firefox means not adding a repo to install non-free codecs. A flatpak steam means not installing a hideous number of 32 bit libs. Can’t remember what software it is because I rarely use it, but another flatpak prevents me needing to build it from source.

And about 2 months ago, when called out on a bad review video (I think a 4060 ti?), Jay immediately deleted said record and posted an apology. He was humble and obviously annoyed at what they had output. He refused to film a replacement review video, instead suggesting people find a record of that product from another channel.

That is someone who knows they messed up and wants to do better.

I used a Tek Syndicate mug up until a few months ago from way back when Logan was still cool. It was a sweet mug regardless.

I walk through the woods on one side of my house, there is a shovel behind some trees I’ve marked. Then I go back to my house, down the other side of my property until I get to the river. Then I dig in the river bank until I get to a plastic bag. Double wrapped of course.

Inside the plastic bag?.. a collection of 1gb USB thumb drives and a note pad.

In the note pad?.. an index cataloguing what is backed up on each thumb drive.

There’s a years old Debian-based version available for download, but the version that ships on Steam Deck is significantly different and based on Arch.

Windows xp was really bad, and a little thing called Ubuntu was gaining traction. So I guess just curiosity for what else was out there.
