Game Collecting List

I've updated my NES collection, and also added Pokemon cards I'm looking for (tab at the bottom). I am very willing to trade my circuit boards for these games/cards! (I may even entertain trading assembled boards... maybe...)

This abomination works, at least for one 29F160. I tried a 2x board and it threw an over current error, which could be a dumb bridge somewhere or it's legit too much. Gonna look into it more soon.

i also think we should shame the not caring voters into caring btw.
I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

I'm considering an update to the SNES Advanced UV boards to allow for one game split across two 27C160 chips. This would necessitate a set of solder jumpers (middle-right, labeled U3)
I think it's probably fine, even if it adds one more thing to configure. Unless someone has a good reason to object

My son got a Bop-It for his bday, I commented that it's smaller than it was in the 90s
"Why is it smaller?"
"Probably to save money, b/c the most important thing to companies is to save money." (sarcastically stated)
"No daddy, the most important thing is to make sure people don't die"
Smart kid!

my high school AP physics teacher said one day "hey, you're the only one who got 100% on the test [on the electronics section], you should think about electrical engineering" I literally hadn't given my career choice any thought before he said that

v1.1 of the SNES Basic UV boards is uploaded & open sourced. I haven't ordered these to test yet, but they incorporate fixes I made to v1.0 so I'm pretty sure they work ok.
This board is *super* versatile. It can replace old broken boards, inc ones with the MAD-1 mapper.

I found my original order for Prime 4 from Best Buy. Still had the Gamers Club Unlocked back then (rip)
I also ordered Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition in the same order, lol
Best Buy is still honoring the price!

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.
Following the recent election, leadership will be changing in many districts where conservative values previously dominated school board meetings and community actions.

Voters shift school boards toward LGBTQ+ inclusion across PA and N.J. - Philadelphia Gay News
School boards in PA and NJ are shifting fast—LGBTQ+ leaders are winning, conservatives are losing, and policy battles are heating up.

The only - and I mean ONLY - live action remake I would ever willingly watch is Emperor's New Groove, but only if all the original voice cast plays their respective characters

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!
Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.
You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.
Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.
You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

So Trump's regime might actually be collapsing - great.
But if we don't dismantle the structures that delivered it and work to fix the system then it'll just happen again. We cannot have a free and fair society when billionaires can buy politicians. Period.
