I don't understand. We just need to gather the dragon balls and he'll be back in time for dinner.

Most are system-on-a-chip implementations with only okay compatibility. Color palettes will be slightly off or sounds will be a slightly wrong pitch, won't support all carts, etc.

Your best bet for playing your games on a modern screen is to get an FPGA based system, a top loader NES modded with HDMI output or simply use a cycle-accurate software emulator on a computer.

And where were they going without ever knowing the way?

I noticed yesterday on Steam that a game I was interested in had a much higher percentage of negative reviews from its Early Access days. Since there weren't enough votes overall to offset these negatives, it really hurt the game's overall score.

Yes. Because they don't have any familiarity with the way Linux desktops look and work, it all looks very much like the technology depicted in movies/shows/games that is very frequently a tool of a "hackerman" type character. That's even more true when a terminal enters play.

Apologies. I was fatigued from a World Tour.

Lemmy.world was taking a "let's wait and see" stance towards them last I checked. This is after the community asked them to not federate with Threads.

Good! Good. Let the Linux flow through you. It makes you powerful!

All we can do is keep trying to move forward.

I am very sorry to read about your troubles. I have similar struggles, but not because of race. Rather, it's because of disabilities that are invisible to others but have profoundly affected my ability to support myself and my wife. People are pretty terrible a lot of the time, and those people tend to stand out more as they like to make themselves loud in their terribleness. Good people really are everywhere, but I think they tend to be less visible and quieter.

I was unemployed for 2.5+ years due to health issues, so I also spent a full year looking for decent work only to be forced to accept less money than I'm worth (because of prior work history in the same industry, not because I think I'm special or whatever).

That experience really affected my self worth for a while. It feels degrading to be treated like you're a less-than-acceptable candidate because of something that isn't your fault and you cannot change.

I accept you as my sibling in suffering, and I wish you the best. Hopefully your situation will change for the better. Changing careers is hard enough without extra discrimination on top!

Thank you very much for your work! It's sorely needed.
