Considering Dan's conversation topics on the past couple podcasts, it really is fitting that the first thing he does in his San Francisco power fantasy is to get the cops to arrest a homeless person

Goddamn, following Drew's guide for setting up an emulator tablet has been annoying as hell (but not at all because of Drew). Maybe it's just me, but RetroArch still seems to be half-garbage??? The configuration seems almost entirely undocumented, so there are tons of settings whose functionality seems to be explained nowhere. I mean it works, but not nearly well enough for me to like using it, and it doesn't give me what I need to make it that. And I haven't even tried messing with the actual graphics settings (also poorly documented) to try to get the games looking nice (and free of graphical glitches).

(EDIT: I Just realized the loving thing messed up downloading the thumbnails for most of the systems. Apparently this doesn't work right unless you have 4GB of ram lol)

The other annoyance is the 8bitdo SNES controller---it doesn't loving work right with Windows 10 (at least if you are using the most up to date stuff, and using the Microsoft bluetooth stack). If the controller is turned off or goes to sleep, it won't reconnect. You either have to restart Windows or unpair/repair to get it to work again. After a downgrading mulitple times, I *think* I got it sorta working (reconnecting takes multiple attempts, if it works). Incidentally, the downgrades removed all of their "fixes" to autoconnect mode and stability. I know from first hand experience that building Bluetooth peripherals that work across multiple device types (especially Android and iOS) can be tricky since loving Apple arbitrarily ignores and fucks with the conventions of Bluetooth (without actually breaking the spec). Still, this thing is kind of a piece of poo poo, but there aren't many comparable options out there.

I couldn't sit through the new Destiny QL because it was so boring that even Jeff and Dan couldn't think of anything to say about it. How did that get in the top 10 list again? Oh right.

Jeff comes to the conclusion that he still likes the gameplay of Destiny, especially how the shooting feels, and will raid if his friends are raid-ready in the near future.

You also missed crucial Dan lore that he likes the "taste of caffeine". (I think he has mentioned candy or soda in literally every item he's in that's currently on the frontpage)

Since you ask, here are the first things that come to mind:

1.What do *any* of the settings under User Interface do? (ok, I know what Desktop Composition is, but idk why one would disable it here)



2. How do the overlay settings work? There is an overlay present AND a keyboard overlay preset, and I can't really figure out how they are supposed to interact



3. In the Core settings, what is HW Shared Context? What about Dummy On Core Shutdown?



4. I haven't even really looked at the video settings yet, but the first thing that sticks out is the filter option. Are the filters not implemented as shaders? If not, any idea if an NTSC filter would have a greater or lesser performance impact than an NTSC shader preset?

Lastly, this may or may not be related to (1), but is there any way to launch RetroArch such that the GUI doesn't close when launching a core? Or something else so that it doesnt temporarily fall out to the desktop when launching or closing a core? It's not a big deal, but it really makes this seem jankier than I'd like (I had kind of wanted to set this up for other people to play, so I had hoped to make it look slightly more professional).

Thanks in advance

Destiny isn't a bad game anymore sorry.

(also, I have no idea why you'd expect this Destiny QL to be any good when Jeff admits at the start that he hasn't touched Destiny since that stream of King's Fall)

The Witness is something that's slowly colonizing my brain. I almost forgot about it but ended up playing another couple hours yesterday. So, am I right in thinking that if some puzzle seems completely incomprehensible, that I should go to another area and eventually things will make sense?

Also, about that monolith: So I'm guessing that is keeping track of all the "environmental" puzzles and that when I finish them all something will happen? Don't tell me what it actually is if it's something else though
