only if you're into the sports played at this awesome Ballard bar which I'm a big fan of

This is the script I suggested for her call because she asked for my help. Feel free to borrow it.

4/365: Electronic music will figure into much of this list by year's end, so I'll start with a forever favorite. Anamanaguchi's 2010 Summer Singles collection was a top-to-bottom crusher—the height of their singular sound, and the point from which they evolved. This one's a cinematic thriller.

Might not be the best if you haven't tracked the campaign over the years, but Acq Inc switched from D&D to DH late last year:

the lack of gaming content may have been because they've got a separate "GeForce On" presentation later this evening - which we at Digital Foundry are keeping tabs on and will likely cover at our site this evening.

As a fan of Dana's I wanna add some sourced context from early 2024, when outcry began over Substack knowingly profiting from proliferation of content beyond the pale. They've yet to take *any* action in over two years on this front. I give zero dollars to them as a result.

Substack has industry-leading newsletter tools, but its recent content moderation missteps could prove costly.

Can anyone tell me a good strip to buy? Preferably one that can draw power from my TV's USB port annnnnd with low brightness as an option. I've put off buying a bias lighting strip for years cuz I don't wanna get something too bright / garish.

3/365: Only art can get us through the exhaustion that is history repeated by dopes w/ the hubris of thinking they can improve it. Bright Eyes has been a consistent comfort through such regimes. They performed this at Bumbershoot '25, and it surged through me. Posting today for no reason at all.

2/365: I'll always have a soft spot for the Toadies' shameless parsing of the Pixies, and I found lifetime friends and music faves on their BBS. Who knows how far past Possum Kingdom they would've gone if Interscope hadn't stymied the late-'90s LP Feeler, from which this utterly catchy song came:

"a little computer stupid" + "I would love to put old games on Steam Deck" = EmuDeck if you wanna add more classic games to Deck after you get your Majora's fix. admittedly takes some finagling but is pretty streamlined to set up a bunch of emulators - so, high yield for the effort. tutorial below!

Looks like there're a lot of responses already. I like the recompilation I linked elsewhere, esp since it runs well on Steam Deck. NSO is fine enough. And series purists are mixed on the 3DS remake (3DS Ocarina is better received), but I think it's solid.

Technically for Majora's Mask, it's 2Ship2Harkinian. Latest DL is below. TLDR: It's a very customizable way to play on PC/Mac/Linux with some bells+whistles.
