What the heck was up with calling it Grind in the US anyway? Does "jet set" mean something rude in American?

nah, although "jet setter" has a bougie vibe to it

i think sega was just all in on the edgy skateboarding craze back then and rollerblades were comparatively lame

Anyway JSR is a good game and I wish I was better at it. (I know it's not hard, I just suck at action games.)

it's fun as heck and actually hasn't aged that badly, especially if you use some shaders (RG503 uses some sort of retroarch + kodi frontend). tbf they did call the xbox-only sequel "jet set radio future", which was also baller

yeah it goes kinda like this AFAICT:

normally a year of PS+ costs $50 (made up number)

sometimes there�s a sale and a year costs $40

people would buy, say, 3 years of + during this sale, saving $30

now Sony introduces a new premium tier of plus that costs $60 per year. people want to try it, including people who bought multiple discount years

if you already banked 3 years of + at $40 and want to try premium, Sony wants you to pay $30 (the extra $10 per year from the price rising to $60) and then another $30 (to undo the $10 per year you originally saved)

it's helpful if you don't have enough to pay up front or aren't sure you want a full year :confused:

just get a thumby instead

the switch is absolutely too big to be portable outside of the house. i have massive hands and imo it's still too big. i've never seen a steam deck irl but that just seems ridiculous

the anbernic thing i posted about earlier is a pretty good size imo (the laptop is 12", for reference):

but i probably still wouldn't use it on the subway or something

looking like a stuffy professor already the switch (beyond being a nice hassle-free way of playing some games) at most humanizes me in public, where showing up with a vintage 80s device or random alibaba garbage is sure to make me look like a loon.

i mean i could definitely see myself bringing it on a flight or something, but just plopping down in a park or whatever to play it? oh hell no lol

for cheap garbage it's pretty nice i think, i paid $110 for it. metal case, OLED, good joysticks/buttons/dpad, decent battery life, emulates everything up to a dreamcast, also has kodi

e: it also works with steam link, so that's pretty neat too

ah i see what you mean. i guess it's not really a problem for me since i would only need both sticks if i'm using MAME or, like, mapped one of them to the d-pad for dreamcast, but again, apparently my thumbs are freakishly long

if you angle your thumbs a bit it's not terribly difficult though. wife's hands are probably literally half the size of mine and she didn't have a problem playing bioshock on steam link

e: also, this is a bit silly, but it supports bluetooth and USB OTG (it runs full blown linux), so you can connect whatever controller you want to it. micro hdmi/dp out is on the top

retro game question:

I want to have my roms on a headless linux server and be able to play them from any of my devices

what are my options?

is there a headless steam that will work with steam link?

I also found a clone of emulatorjs is it any good?

imo put your roms on a cifs/smb share and use libretro, there's a webassembly client you can use locally if the device doesn't natively support it

e: hell you can just upload them temporarily i guess https://web.libretro.com

holy poo poo i hate it, i noped out of the goddamn tutorial. you have to allocate, build a factory and use loving nails by dragging them to a residential zone in order to build things? there's something called simcash??

gently caress that bullshit. is there any decent alternative? feeling city simulator-ish, but i don't wanna spend a lot of money lol

genuinely bummed that the one i already had was removed from the store, i'm guessing it was 32-bit and EA cba to do a simple recompile

it was basically a simplified version of sc3k for touch screens, and it was pretty great

hell they could do a touchscreen port of sc2k, that seems like it would translate pretty well. loving ea

wasn�t it some security thing?

supposedly, but i don't buy it. there are ways to ensure it runs "properly" anyway

for example linux and windows still support 32-bit binaries, and yeah there are subsystems on windows and a mess of libraries on linux, but it works. i don't believe apple wasn't capable of doing something similar

for fucks sake under wine you can even run 16-bit windows apps on macos (or linux, and now windows). windows itself doesn't even support that

tbf it saved space, which does matter on mobile devices. but i think it is a bit misguided to blame devs incentivised purely by pr for not putting in the work

i mean, yeah, that's true, it's the same issue windows and linux have with libraries. but it's honestly not a lot of space. cloning functionality into new libraries while keeping the old ones (because the new implementations are not as good) is far more wasteful imo

were you typing the same sentence again and again for the test or something?

yes, pretty much. they were "randomized" throughout some sort of level system, but it wasn't hard to realize it wasn't actually random: it would piece together parts of previous sentences that had appeared before. if you did it quickly it was a short enough interval it wasn't hard to recall those parts at all, but for most kids plodding along at 20 wpm that interval became like 10 minutes

to be clear i don't think i have some sort of superhuman typing abilities or anything. the point is that the middle school class was just easy bullshit
