The GBA Pokémon games are great, my 8yo loves them.

Harvest moon series is also a good bet.

Kirby games

Yoshi’s island on snes

Agreed. Fire tablets are garbage. Super slow, outdated tech designed to shovel ads at your kids.

The uncomfortable truth is the best tablet for kids is a new iPad Air. It’ll be up to date for its lifespan of years and the parental controls, ecosystem and screentime functionality make it great for kids.

You can hate Apple but as a parent the iPad is great for kids.

That’s not sushi. That’s seared ahi tuna over what looks like fried rice noodles with sauce.

I asked if it had stripes mid way through and it said no….its wrong. Lame.

This is the first I’ve seen of it but I’ll guess it’s a retro gaming emulator handheld, android or Linux based. So it’ll run whatever its chips are powerful enough to run.

What is there to even downvote? Nobody is posting anything here. The most recent post is 17 days old.

I’ve been pretty happy with kbin.social.

It’s coming soon. Artemis is in public beta.

US inflation means families are spending $709 more per month than two years ago (www.cnn.com)

Most of that increase in spending is driven by housing costs, which have surged, Zandi told CNN in an email on Friday. He added that families are also spending more at the grocery store; on buying, maintaining and insuring vehicles and on recreational services like cable....

What a terribly written article. It makes it sound like all Americans suddenly have mortgages at the current 7％ when reality is most are sitting with current loans in the 3％ range and much lower payments. This headline assumes everyone is paying the current rates.

Yes that’s a pickup truck.

Zojirushi and Tiger make great rice cookers, I’ve had a few.

That said I’ve replaced my zojirushi with an instant pot. And you can do a whole bunch of other things with an instant pot. The instant pots rice program is just as good as a dedicated rice cooker.

mephiska ,

Total cooking time for rice in the instant pot isn’t much different from my zojirushi. You can speed up the instant pot though by pressing down on the lid when steam is coming out to force it to seal early. This little pressure increase will cause that pressure nub to pop up and seal so pressure will more quickly increase.

mephiska ,

The other key tip for instant pot rice is to let the pressure release naturally. The rice needs time to absorb all that water after the cooking cycle completes.

mephiska ,

Try the instant pot first before you spend any money. use 1:1.1 rice to water ratio (adjust water up or down to your taste), push down on the lid to force it to seal early, and use the 12 minute program. When it’s done let pressure release naturally. We make instant pot rice multiple times a week, mostly Japanese rice but also jasmine and plain rice. All cooked the same way.

mephiska ,

This is crazy talk. I’ve had my zojirushi rice cooker for over 10 years. As long as you wash the pot and lid properly and don’t scratch it with metal utensils it should last forever. Replacement parts are available but the need should be rare unless you are a Neanderthal.

If your experience is you frequently need to replace parts for your rice cooker, then you’re buying the wrong rice cooker.

I’m sure it’s how they find specific cables if they need to do a repair.

Any love for the N64?

I don’t see many posts here about the N64 and it doesn’t look like there is an N64 community on lemmy.world It’s the console I have the most nostalgia for and I have over 130 games in my collection. I’m currently playing a ROM hack called SM64: Beyond the Cursed Mirror. It has some pretty challenging platforming but it...

mephiska ,

My take, a big focus of retro gaming is on the handhelds coming out and N64 games are only just becoming playable on the latest hardware. Definitely no loss of love for the N64 out there.

Many Navy ships are nuclear powered. Aircraft carriers have multiple nuclear reactors, submarines are nuclear powered, and many cruisers are nuclear. There’s also a lot of nuclear powered icebreakers.

RG35XX - This is amazing! (lemmy.world)

Just got this bad boy yesterday and I’m like a kid at Christmas! 😄 The delight I felt firing up my old love, Desert Strike… Goosebumps! Seriously impressed with this bit of kit, and I’m enjoying exploring the options as much as the many many games! The effort put in by the community with GarlicOS and the ROM packs is...

Get it from Amazon if you are going to buy one. Anbernic is in China so their customer support on a $70-80 device is barebones to non existent.
