Back in the Nintendo era we picked up a copy of Final Fantasy I when the local rental shop went out of business… The battery in it was 100% dead. So my brother would just leave the Nintendo on.

I don’t think I’ve had a console affected by this though.

Recently I had an Evercade cart die. It was the flash memory that gave up, though. Not the battery.

Hi. I too have found myself asking questions like this when I had phones that had custom ROMs.

tell me what Graphene has stronger?

When I looked into this, I found that Graphene is hardened and is more secure while other ROMs spec into the privacy aspect only.

I still keep my list even though my current device/chipset is not supported by these ROMs.

Alternative/Custom ROMS

In no particular order, these ROMs usually change the UX/UI and maybe add some security enhancements.

• LineageOS

• BlissRoms: Close to stock with “some” added privacy

• Evolution X: Android 13 with the Pixel UI

• Paranoid Android: Android with custom enhancements

• PixelExperience

• OmniROM

• ArrowOS

Privacy|Hardened ROMS

Security-wise, LineageOS is a start but (correct me if I am wrong) you need to unlock the bootloader, which is not great. These ROMs purport heightened privacy or “hardened” security.

• iodéOS: “deGoogled” LineageOS fork, uses lots of blacklists for ad- and tracker-blocking. Sells pre-installed devices.

• /e/OS: A “deGoogled” Android experience. Uses microG, no telemetry sent to Google, modified NTP and DNS servers, modified GPS service. Uses the “App Lounge” which combines the Aurora Store with F-Droid and PWAs. Has a tracker blocker. Requires you to have an @murena.io account for some functionalities.

• GrapheneOS: Private, secure, hardened… has a long list of features. Updates are fast, exploitations are quickly mitigated, non-profit. But, Pixel-only.

• CalyxOS: PAUSED

• DivestOS

• Nocturnal Birding de Author & Punisher est GÉNIAL !
• Age of Aquarius de Perturbator est sorti (GRATUIT !)
• J’avais loupé le dernier album de Jessica93, 666 tours de periph’

Anything under 3 is the swimsuit ending :)

Probably winter 91 or spring 92. Not sure when, but I saw the ads on TV and I needed to get Metroid II: Return of Samus.

I was 7.

I asked. I begged. And for Christmas or a birthday it came.

Every day when I came home from school, I played. Sometimes I took it with me and played at lunch.

Nobody else played that game. Nobody knew what I was talking about. I took the booklet with me and tried to draw the creatures.

I was stuck at one point. It lasted weeks. Maybe longer. One night before dinner I made some progress. My mother actually let me keep playing until I got to a save point.

Whatever feeling I had at that moment, I’m not sure I’ll find it again, but my expression must have been enough. I made it to the save point.

Eventually I beat the game but I’d look forward to getting home to try and speedrun it 100% And eventually I could consistantly beat it under 3 hours with 100% items. I haven’t had a game since that I’ve enjoyed as much except maybe a few shmups.

I thought they still did this but last time I tried it didn’t work. Thanks for the tip.

I was off sick yesterday and read 3 issues. They cover lots of doujin shmups. Good stuff and OK presentation.

Blood Empire is pretty fun! Just tried it on my work computer because I don’t have a Windows computer at home.

Pants’ channel and podcast are great. I love the new thumbnails for the “I Wanna Shmup” series.

On a broader level, I prefer most of the shmup content creators to those that make content for my other hobbies and interests.

I felt the same way, then I was asked to set one up for someone because we bought it as a group gift. It was so comfortable to use and not at all what I expected. It wasn’t even a great one, just a basic Kobo model. I ended up buying the same model and used it for years. My partner got me a new one and she has my original that still works like day one 14 years ago.

Which Aero Fighters do you recommend?

Always gets me that it is the same as this

That is a catchy trailer!

Finally got around to trying out some Psikyo shmups. They are fun to credit feed and the bosses are awesome. Probably going to spend some more time on those and maybe Under Defeat.

ACA ports are generally OK and come with the same features (DIP switches, filters, display options, autofire, sometimes sound filters, etc.) and modes like high score.

What makes the PC ports bad?

Pas de conseils ici… Nous avons proposé la tétine sous plusieurs formes, tailles et matières. Il ne voulait pas. Nous avons gardé sur nous et dans le sac. Il ne voulait pas. Il y avait une fois qu’il l’a gardé plus de 10 minutes. Il n’a jamais utilisé son pouce non plus.

Dans mon entourage j’ai différents types de parents et dans la classe de mon fils il y a seulement un enfant qui suce son pouce à 8 ans. La plupart ont réussi à ne plus donner la tétine à 3 ans et ils venaient me voir pour savoir comment nous avons fait. Je ne sais pas… Mais je peux vous dire d’éviter ceux qui parlent de stade oral et trucs de Freud et de ne pas comparer les enfants. Par exemple : mon fils ne suce pas son pouce et n’a jamais utilisé la tétine, mais il mange encore ses crottes de nez.

I don’t have Steam, although I’m tempted after browsing a bit.

There are things on sale that have never been on sale on other consoles.

Beautiful!

I don’t know. I use mpv because I switched to Linux in 2006 and I’m used to it now.

I did! I see it on my students’ screens in December. There is some other software that does little things like that. Pale Moon does something for Halloween I believe. I hardly ever watch videos on my computer though.
