For just 32kB (plus the size of a Game Boy emulator), you can play the amazing Tetris Rosy Retrospection. It's a romhack of the Game Boy Tetris that adds modern Tetris controls, handling, and features to make it feel much better to play without increasing the file size. I'm aware of the color version of this hack, but it doubles the file size to 64kB, so I'm only considering the regular Tetris Rosy Retrospection this time. Byte-for-byte, I can't find a better game to sink dozens of hours into.
Pretty much every form of these scams is some kind of advance fee fraud. Two more possible avenues:
"Upgrade to a business account". They send you an email purporting to be from the payment provider you used saying you need to upgrade to business to receive a payment that large, and the upgrade page is a fake website run by the scammer that asks for a "refundable deposit" or the like (with a little helping of credit card fraud and of course a business account will require all kinds of personal info useful for identity theft too).
"But I want it as an NFT" was popular for a bit, they want you to "pre-pay the minting fee but it's ok I'll add it to your payment" and then they disappear. But they want it on a website ran by them and the moment you put the crypto in they disappear. Not sure this scam is popular nowadays because NFT screams scam to just about everyone for a lot of different reasons. But "rich guy spends $5000 on dumbass NFT" was a legitimate genre of news for a little moment.
It's all preying on someone that thinks they got an easy paycheck for work that they've already done, on a populace of artists that could really use said paycheck to pay for food and are thus willing to overlook weirdness or principles. They also tend to pick on newer and younger artists that haven't quite figured out how to run a business yet, hoping that they haven't heard of scams specifically targeted to their sector.
A friend gave me the best career advice years ago: make a personal portfolio site.
He said nobody really reads through resumes anymore. A portfolio with lots of screenshots or photos, and a very short paragraph works best. Also tack on a resume for those who ask for it.
Organized by category, date, or whatever makes sense. You can use a blogging engine like Wordpress, or a static hosting platform like Jeckyll or Hugo. Assign it a simple domain (like .work or .portfolio). Keep it updated with latest clippings.
Then whenver someone asks, just point them at the site. Print it on a biz card, make custom stickers, etc.
It’s not just Nazis. The world is trending towards authoritarianism across the board, on the right and the left. Democratic and social institutions everywhere are failing. People don’t trust each other anymore.
The real problem: in the race to build massive civilizations we have destroyed all of our communities.
It’s definitely a work-in-progress title, but I have really enjoyed SuperTux Advance (AGPL-3.0 according to their github page). It’s like SuperTux but with sliding, more playable characters, and more power ups. As of now it’s probably my favorite OS game at the moment. -Ace
Doing ok I guess, main issue is being alone constantly, but since I have had almost a decade of living alone since I moved out from my parents and was quite lonely before that as well (my parents are lovely and caring, I have just never found anyone special, and have drifted apart from most of my friends).
Planning on getting into VR in september after the PS2VR PC adapter has been out for a month, and I have reviews to look at
My car needs it’s bumper replaced after a badger ran into me while I was driving. I can still drive it, no warning lights nor leaks what I can see…
This spring I had a holiday in Spain, got to walk El Caminito Del Rey and it was gorgeous, I will get back to Spain soon with work this time.
I need to replace my computer desk and remodel my living room, but first I need to move my computer, record player and more from the computer desk.
Need new monitors for my computer, my current monitor has terrible image retention issues.
I am soo happy I went, but unless there is a lovely woman asking me to accompany her, I won’t do it again.
95% of the path is amazing, with some thrilling but not scary views, the last 5% was terrifying, however I never felt unsafe.
Ok, lets start from the beginning.
As you probably know, El Caminito Del Rey is a stunningly beautiful path in a crevase of a mountain side, it leads between two hydro electric powerplants, and was originally built as a maintenance path.
It got famous on the internet as the worlds most dangerous path, when I first saw videos of it, the path was crumbling concrete hanging on the mountain side.
This is no longer the case, since adventurers kept bypassing anything the local government did to prevetn access, they decided on another way forward, rebuilding the path.
The new path is built just above the old one, preventing access to the old path, while granting safe and easy access for unfit tourists (like me) to see the amazing landscape.
The path is modern, made out of tick peices of wood, securely anchored to the mountain side, there is a secure railing with netting along the entiire path.
There is minimal need for planning on walking the path, you need to get a ticket, and I do recommend getting a ticket for the return bus as well, you will be tired after walking the path.
You only really need four things to walk the path.
A ticket
A bottle of water
Decent shoes, I walked in my Brooks Ghost 23, you don’t need hiking boots, but avoid sandals or flipflops.
A good camera with a solid strap, if you drop your phone or camera over the edge of the railing, it is gone/destroyed.
Do not bring a big backpack, this is noted on the rules you get when buying a ticket, this is due to the path being very narrow.
We got a guided tour, we had an english guide, but the guy we had was not really worth it.
So you go to the restaurant marked on the map you get when buying the tickets, that is not the entrence to the path, it is the entrence to the entrence to the path, unless your instructions say otherwise, do not wait there, there are big signs, you need to walk about 2km to get to the entrence of El Caminito Del Rey.
So you get to the entrence, this was a bit chaotic when I was there, depspite being there in low season. Speak with the staff, they will help you, scan your ticket and get into your group.
If you have picked a guided tour, you will be issued a small radio reciever and and headphones, the headphones are terrible, if you can, get some better 3.5mm earbuds that fit better.
Regarless of what ticket you have bought, you will be issued a helmet and a disposable hairnet.
Finally, you are entering El Caminito Del Rey!
The path is for the most part located inside the cleft, this is very nice as if you start feeling dizzy of vertigo, you can just not look down, and the feeling goes away.
This is untill the end…
I must again stress, that while it was terrifying, I never felt unsafe.
You will have to walk across a metal grid catwalk suspention bridge, it is supported by thick metal cables, but it does wobble and sway a bit, then you get to a an anchored path hainging on the open side of the mountain, there is nothing to help your vertigo there as the path hangs over a sheer drop of 100+ meters.
I don’t like hights, I get some vertigo, I was clearly uncomfortable and scared, but at that point you can’t really go back, so I just focused on continuing on.
The path is completely safe, highly thrilling and even terrifying, and so so worth it.
I had my Lumix S5 camera with my 24-105mm lens, a great combo, and I just 1150+ photots from my walk, some of the most beutiful nature photos I have taken.
You are very wellcome, it I would call the trip a full day trip as you will be tired when it is done, we stayed in Nerja, and had booked a guided tour at 14:50, we left at 10 or so to have good margins, but we allmost missed it as we had misunderstood the startpoint
Read a handful of posts. Not one mention of Greggs, ‘spoons, the price of Freddos, or the correct colour of a cup of tea. But, more significantly, no obvious sarcasm and not one single OP got called a bit of a daft cunt.
Probably not unless you get public funding (eg, run a massive deficit, take control of the public AI to build stuff, debug features, etc) or you first create a resource chain or two to pay for transit.
Only on the VIC20 and Atari STe. On the VIC20 you had to write the assembler, manually convert it to machine code and enter that into the computer. There was a cartridge with an assembler, debugger and an extra 3.5Kb memory for it but I never got one.
Vic 20 was my first. I watched my dad struggle with and eventually give up on assembly. Something-something and the microbots. I was fearful of it until I took Assembly at Uni. That 2nd/3rd year class was where the final puzzle piece of how computers work fell in place for me.
My first job was writing assembly tests for a DSP hardware design team. Fell in love. Never looked back.
Yo, I have to take a moment and shake you because I thought you were a cool tech dyke judging by your goofy ass name. But all things aside talk with your seemingly two partners? Or like, partner and actual friend? But also like, idk what open lines of communicaiton you have with kids or what even kids will listen to - or who (cause I think maybe it could also be a who thing in this situation) - you can still attempt to give them a talk. And I think most kids run around with cards from their parents nowadays from how I've seen it. Like, if you've got a phone you've probably got a card. But this is all just some assumptions.
But all tweets (this is a tweet right?) are fake af and people just trying to be shocking and cute and like maybe down the line they can use their audience to do different monetary things. I mean like most the shit on Reddit was fake, so I can't imagine most the stuff on TwituhX is real either. So unless you having a late night rib just like - talk with your kids. About the stuff they should hear at the ages you think they should hear them. Or get your wife to do what you've got to do. And if you've got two partners you're probably open af and can legit find a way to broach the subject. I believe in you! Or bribe one of their older cousins with cash to talk with them. Cause legit, if my one cousin told me anything about sex I would hands down believe them. Just figure out which cousin they admire and BLAM, you've got an in.
Gl, you got this. Try not to rot your brains too much on bullshit, cause it's okay in moderation but I think I've read it can be bad for your health =P!
