Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.
Trying to post and comment often in an effort to add to Lemmy’s growth.
Kind of related but here’s a video from Technology Connections if you want to learn more about swamp coolers and why they only work in specific conditions
I feel like the SpongeBob movie releasing when it did probably helped the SpongeBob video game sales around that time. I recall SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie doing pretty well
I told a coworker this once and they went from saying African Americans to just loudly whisper the word black like it was a derogatory term.
Bit of a weird choice but maybe Dick Figures The Movie. It was based off of an animated YouTube series and if I recall correctly they got it out near the height of their relevance. It’s not like the Angry Birds movie where it acted as more of a reminder that it was a thing than anything else.
allows you to collect cash accumulated in safes, request vehicles and replenish ammo using your in-game phone - but only if you pay up $8 or $7 a month for a GTA+ subscription, which is currently not available on PC.
Have you not had much luck using operators?
I’ve found them relatively reliable

Yeah it seems like since COVID19 and the release of RG350 there’s been a real increase in the amount of progress
The Vita also has a lot of source ports.
For the right price it can be a pretty good deal considering it can play PSX and below as well as PSP games and a lot of handheld emulators still struggle with Vita emulation.
The RG35XXSP has a GBA SP clamshell style and is relatively new with a lot of positive reviews
It depends what you want to emulate. Most consoles can do PSX and below without any trouble. A lot of devices share the same chipset so that’s a big thing to look out for.
If you want to get into things like PS2 and GameCube you are going to have to pay more and likely consider Android.
A console with HDMI out and Bluetooth might be what you are looking for so you can potentially have that desktop experience you are used to.
I think Batocera-based custom firmwares can show retro achievement availability from the games list
Just a heads up the “10,000 in 1” game claims that every of these devices advertises isn’t something you should consider. It’s going to be a lot of games you’ve never heard of for older systems like the NES so they fit on lower capacity SD cards. Potentially in multiple languages. It also comes on SD cards most people would recommend replacing.
It’s better to just download the entire library, individual games, or an already curated collection.
You could crack your own games. Not exactly legal but it would mean the games wouldn’t require your account to run.
Kind of like how if you share a computer with a sibling you can use a Steam emulator so you don’t have to switch back and forth between accounts or own two copies of the game.
Gotham Steel pans. They work decent the first couple times but I found the non-stick part of it wore down real quick
Internet Historian made a pretty good video about it a couple years ago
Is that substantial though or is it like calling 120V something like 110V/115V?

I don’t feel like Chromebooks are all that bad. Especially if the other option is limited capacity computer rooms. I imagine the restrictions of a Chromebook would be similar to the limitations imposed by the IT department.
They’re also called evaporator coolers. I am not sure if the word swamp refers to it performing a function that might be found around a swamp or how they operate.
Maybe the pool of water at the bottom is referred to as a swamp.
I linked the video but it’s been a while since I watched it. I am not sure if he explains the nomenclature.
