What is the device on the top left? The big SNES controller one.

Duvidl OP ,

Hyperkin Supaboy.

Let’s play Super Nintendo games on the go using the original cartridges.

Wow, pretty cool

@FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world avatar

My gem? Drinking coffee black.

qwet OP ,
@qwet@lemmy.world avatar

Same atm, but I’m feeling adventurous so I’ve decided to branch out. I’m thinking heavy whipping cream (thx Bioemerl) with a wee kick of honey to start. maybe see what vanilla extract will do…

myusernameisokay ,

Maybe try with a bit of milk. If you enjoy black coffee why go for something unhealthy like creamer?

qwet OP ,
@qwet@lemmy.world avatar

creamer isn’t exactly unhealthy, its the full context of a persons diet that matters, really. indulgences are the spice of life. Maybe ill try both…

heavy cream has very few carbs, making it a purposeful choice in many diets

Rather have 240k users here than 240m on reddit.

Sometimes it’s the quality of the shit posts and not the post shits.

ohlaph ,

Diarrhea doesn’t always win.

Afrazzle ,

Yep, reddit got too big for its own good.

atempuser23 ,

I’m surprised how lively it feels here. It’s amazing that it feels nearly as fell as reddit with not even 1% of the user base.

mtat ,

People who use lemmy are more likely to be power users. The people who use their reddit account once a month generally don’t know or care about the issues that caused a lot of us to migrate.

gmtom ,

I think the users on here tend to be active on the site in general rather than just a few specific subreddits. And also the small amount of users all interacting on the same communities gives the entire site the feeling that smaller subreddits used to have. Which was always infinitely better than big subreddits will millions of users, infested with bots.

SrElsewhere , to lemmyshitpost in Trouble viewing?

Some things got weird in the wake of yesterday’s attack. You and others couldn’t see the images, but I (the OP) could. Today, some people could see the images, but I couldn’t see any of the maybe 20 images that I uploaded yesterday. I could see images uploaded two days ago.

Today, I re-upped all yesterday’s images in the hope that the issue will go away for all. Or at least on my posts from yesterday. I see that there are still issues with some uploads today.

bioemerl , to coffee in What Creamer do you prefer? Anyone sitting on a gem?

Heavy whipping cream.

Why?

It lasts forever in the fridge and it isn't hydrogenated oil that will clog your arteries with transfats.

woodnote ,

Heavy whipping cream in coffee is such an indulgent game-changer. I thought, how could it be that different from half-and-half? But it truly is something special.

mdwyer ,

Oh god yes. The heavier the better. I go to the restaurant supply stores so I can get the super-heavy-duty 40% cream. None of that weak-ass 36% water.

mustardman ,

That’s weapons-grade heavy cream.

Same. Heavy cream crew.

Do you have classical music? I’m on a quest to find classical songs that make you feel like a wizard.

ryuundo OP ,
@ryuundo@lemmy.world avatar

Nope, no classical. It’s mostly rock music in this collection.

chris , to retrogaming in Retrospective: Micronaut One [ZX Spectrum, 1987]
@chris@fedia.io avatar

This was a great little game, I got it off a magazine covertape (I thought SU but spectrumcomputing suggests it was probably Crash). I didn't necessarily think it was innovative then, but the race mode was fun and I remember changing the UI colours. In fact, I don't remember there being a non-race mode, so obviously didn't go into that bit of the game much!

davetansley OP ,
@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

I had the game back then too, but I don’t remember anything about the main game either. I think I was the same as you - saw the racing mode, played the racing mode endlessly. Maybe it shot itself in the foot by having an easily accessible mode that teenage kids would naturally gravitate towards? :)

@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

In the 1980’s my parents found religion and destroyed all our “secular” albums, including many 33s and hard to find 45s.

That was 40 years ago and I’m still mad and disgusted by it to this day.

It was over the top and one of the major factors that drives me away from religion.

ryuundo OP ,
@ryuundo@lemmy.world avatar

Dang that sucks. What kind of music did you listen to that got destroyed?

JoeClu ,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Mostly 60s and 70s rock and pop. :(

I_AnoN_I ,

Yeah there’s a link to the account but no proof it is official

quinten OP ,
@quinten@lemmy.world avatar

It is literally the government’s website. How official do you want it?

Overheid = government Social.overheid.nl = social.government.nl

Daftman ,

Tweakers.net, which is pretty much the biggest techsite in the Netherlands, has an article about it aswell. You can be sure this is very real.

vaultdweller013 ,

Im sorry but does tweaker have a different meaning in the Netherlands or is that name on purpose.

Bongles ,

I imagine it’s like how you might use tinker.

vaultdweller013 ,

So it means sonething more along the lines on tinkerer or old school hacking got it.

Daftman ,

It’s along the lines of tuner / or like vaultdweller said tinkerer. The name is from late 90’s. It started as World of Tweaking when overclocking and tuning your pc was seen as destroying your hardware and hacking the plannet (31337 H4X0R).

Site started somewhere 1997 and 1999 or so. By now it’s a very common site in the Netherlands to check hardware and software related stuff, especially since every computer related shop has a presence in the pricewatch the website offers for the Dutch and Belgian market.

The website is extremely comparable to Tom’s Hardware website.

deranger , to pics in [OC] My record collection as of now. A labor of love for over 7 years.

Sick collection! How are they organized? Do you play all new arrivals before they’re filed into the rack?

ryuundo OP ,
@ryuundo@lemmy.world avatar

They are organized alphabetically by first name, and in order of release, even down to the month if multiple releases came out in one year.

I always play new arrivals when I get them. When I bring stuff home, I go on discogs and catalog them in my collection, so i have a day-by-day note of what albums I got, and I play the albums to check condition.

sanguinepar ,
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

Is your collection public? Would love to browse through it!

ryuundo OP ,
@ryuundo@lemmy.world avatar

no problem, here’s the discogs account:

Amazing, thanks!

ryuundo OP ,
@ryuundo@lemmy.world avatar

No problem.

okfuskee ,
@okfuskee@lemmy.world avatar

Man those weather report albums are bangers. You’ve got great taste and a very nice catalog.

ryuundo OP ,
@ryuundo@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I’m close to getting every record from them. I’m just missing the Japan-only live album from 1972 and most of the 80s albums.

also thanks for liking the collection. anything else stick out to you?

okfuskee ,
@okfuskee@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t gone through it all yet, but one thing that I generally like is how eclectic your collection is.

My dad was constantly playing Beach Boys. I put on a song once in a while to remind me of him and his horrible singing voice. (Haha)

But I also remember being a kid and seeing Iron Maidens Eddie and thinking how bad ass he was. My uncle was a huge fan and would always spin their music.

Lots of punk… but also not afraid to branch out and appreciate great musicians. I’ve seen a few large collections, but they were kinda just in one lane as if all this other wonderful music didn’t exist.

ryuundo OP ,
@ryuundo@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I don’t try to block myself into one singular focus of genre. I mainly go for punk and new wave stuff, but I also like 60s soul, doo wop, 20s-30s country and blues, jazz, Brazilian music and all other types of genres. I’ve been digging for 7 years now and the discoveries I’ve made would have never happened without record collecting (like how else would I learn about New Zealand indie rock without digging through discogs to find out about it?)
