    I’ve just stuck with AetherSx that came on my Retroid, though I’ve heard of Nethersx also. When you say Modern can run the Snowblind engine games, does that mean that fire doesn’t tank the frame rate on that version? You can’t have both classic and modern installed at the same time, can you?

    Series X is amazing hardware wise, but since they keep releasing games without physical copies, I haven’t turned mine on and likely won’t for some time. The console also doesn’t really work right without internet connection. As in, it is literally impossible to set up an Xbox without internet. It’s also literally impossible to install any games without internet, which is fucking bonkers.

    We have more than enough resources to feed everyone on earth. We have the land, we have the money to pay the farmers, we have the infrastructure to transport it anywhere in the world easily and quickly. The issue we’re having isn’t too many people, but a small group of people utilizing multiples of the energy they need, and dozens of multiples of the energy of the masses of the world.

    A lot of them run perfectly well on original hardware too, if you happen to have a flash cart laying around you can often get the digital editions for cheap, and bigger games pop up on incub8 games and a few other spots with physical copies.

    Agreed with everything you say, and I don’t have any solutions you haven’t said. I would like to add, buy your nephews, cousins, kids, students, etc physical games. Buy them the games they want, too, not just the ones that you think they should have. Get them used to going to the store to look at games and game boxes. Take them to the retro game store and let them pick something out. Encourage gaming to be more than passive consumption, and try to instill more positive associations with ownership. Avoid lecturing, or trying to create negative associations with digital or subscription products, and just help them share in your passion, it’ll take you a long way.

    You might look into repairing the joystick you have. I recently had a similar issue with my 360 controller after it sitting in storage for many years and a good contact cleaning got it working again.

    If that doesn’t work, depending on your level of confidence, you could measure the pin pitch and note termination style and see if you can find a replacement joystick module to solder in somewhere. Maybe it used the same footprint as another controller, and you can drop it in and have it work.

    Either way, good luck. I hope you succeed!

    In through the nose, out through the mouth. Expand your diaphragm on exhales, meaning your belly should extend, and compress it on inhales, meaning your belly should contract. Deep, long breaths, with each one, return your focus to your form. When you drift, and find your breathing is automatic again, and your mind has wandered, acknowledge the thought, and return your awareness to your breathing. In through then nose, belly contracting and chest expanding, hold, out through the mouth, belly expanding and chest contracting.

    All that to say, manual breathing is something I think everyone should practice regularly.

    I felt like I was riding in an on rails open top vehicle through a like, society made up out of pulsating fractals. I remember going under an arch, and on top of the arch were beings also made of light and pulsating fractals, and they looked at me and spoke and fractals spilled out of their mouths.

    After I got through the arch, I heard this sound like… a torn speaker driver crackling as it plays, and the sound got louder until it was like a stampede of Buffalo engulfing everything that is. I felt my eyes open as if they were always closed, and around me I saw sand in all directions. I became scared. I remember thinking, what if I can’t come back from here? And suddenly it was like I was sucked backwards through reality and deposited back into my body.

    My friend who was with me and also under the influence said he saw arrows embossed on my skin pointing up towards my head, and then I became invisible for a moment, completely unseen. As quickly as I left, I returned. And we had an interesting conversation after.

    Did you disconnect the battery without shorting the two terminals together or using a metal tool? You should never ever unplug anything in a device until after you’ve unplugged the battery.

    No. Opening a device is categorically NOT a warranty voiding action, by law. At least in the US. Though, in this case, it does sound like they damaged the joycon, which would make it not eligible for warranty, but it has nothing to do with opening the device.
