Nice, there's something so appealing about older cases. I wonder how difficult it'd be to fit modern hardware in one though. I want to build myself a decent budget PC one day, currently I've got an i7 4790k and gtx 980ti so very old! I don't do much modern gaming though so im not in need of an urgent upgrade. I've also got a small form factor pc in my living room for emulation. It's got a ryzen 5 pro 2400ge in it and I'm surprised how much it can actually run. Managed to get some switch games running on it🫨

Yeah my 3ds has broken unfortunately so no good way to experience those games😭 what's your pc build like? Would love to see your battlestation

Yeah it's a similar story with DS/3DS emulation. You can work with it but games feel better on original hardware. I think there are some dual screen emulation handhelds coming out now though

Amazing definitely going to try this!

Yeah I'm more of an emulation guy too. I like upscaling and some of the QOL improvements that come with some ROM hacks.

Well put. Although I do use reddit it is information overload. Here it does feel slower paced and easier to digest πŸ˜… feels more like old school forums in that sense

What's your setup for playing retro titles? Do you own the original hardware or are you more of an emulation guy?

Mario Kart 64 is so comfy. Making me want to play it

Was also wondering what made you choose to do these posts on Lemmy rather than something like reddit? You'd get a lot more engagement there. Not that I'm complaining about you making Lemmy a lot more interesting πŸ˜… just curious!

Yeah I've always wanted to try but my phones haven't been very root friendly either. I think maybe next phone I will do research and give it a try. Not sure what I'd do it for other than more privacy though πŸ˜…

Wow I didn't even know you could do that. I've never actually tried rooting, is it worth it?

You could try app ops instead I think this has a similar function? Canta for removing system apps

As in ruby of blue? I love that guys sonic adventure videos. I've fallen asleep to them so many times (I mean this as a very big compliment πŸ˜†). Would love to see him do a video on the dream sonic adventure 2 remake with all his artwork!

You could try refreezer which is a mod of deezer. Allows you to download locally. Not the highest quality you can get but it's convenient and free

We lost our cat a very similar way a few months ago. A stray from the back of our flat that we adopted, also bullied by the other strays! All I hope is that we gave her a good life
