I ordered some retro handhelds for the boys to get on Christmas shopping early. I got the R36s because I found it cheap and I’m pretty impressed.

Buttons feel good, it uses Emudeck on the frontend so everything looks nice, and they even shipped with Stardew Valley on the SD card. It boots up, takes a while to load but it boots up. I know one of my boys in particular is going to love this once they get them

I waited two weeks for this lamp I ordered from Bunnings. Then they tell me it’s not made anymore and refunded me. Now I need to find a new lamp. I wanted that lamp

You’re an inspiration. I better not leave mine too long

I’ll look into it and see if I can find a similar guide that lets me dive into the SD card more

It’s a great balance if being a rally game without being too technical. The boring driver still wins the race, but you don’t need to sit there tuning your car.

The cars are all original, but inspired by real rally cars fron history, so it’s fun looking at each one and figuring out the inspiration.

And the game just looks gorgeous. It’s simple, but everything works so well. Strong recommend on Art of Rally

Art Of Rally is such a beautiful game. My only criticism is I wish it was better optimised and could run better on lower spec hardware. It doesn’t look demanding, but I’m sure it’s got a bunch of shaders going on that eat up processing power.

Because it’s a game that deserves to be played at full settings, 4k60fps. I can do it on my big computer, but it would be great if others could experience full settings in this age of handhelds

I’ll need to try that, thank you. But I’ll have to see how it goes if both computers won’t detect it

You’ve really had a did run at the opsec lottery. If anything I’m just as lucky to have been on the other side of some of these

I have, both through the file explorer and terminal. They’re the two computers that can’t detect it at all. One with an adapter and the other with a direct micro SD card slot

I found a 32gb SD card in a draw. I put it in my computer and it only reads 30mb of storage capacity and it needs to be formatted.

But it can’t be formatted because it’s write protected.

I plug it into some computers I have and it doesn’t get read at all. What’s on this SD card and why doesn’t it want me to know? What did I use this SD card for before?

I could probably write a haunted media story about it for reddit for 30 updoots

That’s quite a room (I have not kept up with what you’re doing tonight at all).

I’ve tried Joplin and it has been a pretty good Evernote replacement. You use your own cloud storage, like onedrive, to store your notes, so you don’t have to worry about storage restrictions like what happened to Evernote

I can see the rain outside and I’m glad I stayed home. The other woman in my team got sick from being in the cold and rain in this place just last week and everyone has gone back in similar conditions.

I’m using today as an open day to work on things I’ve been meaning to before other demands pulled me in other directions.

That’s quite a start to the day. I hope things work out

It was pink on the way out of work today, and the clouds caught the light well

There is an excursion on tomorrow as part of this work conference. It’s going to be cold and miserable so I simply Will Not Go.

Everyone on the excursion will think I’m at the office. Everyone at the office will think I’m on the excursion. I will stay home and actually get some work done

That’s great news. It seems like the Work Gods have intervened and given you the simplest solution

A game set in Australia where you deliver the vtuber Usada Pekora pizza. Kojima is a visionary

That’s good to know then. I guess it wasn’t a missed opportunity

A whole week of company conference and I need to present today as well. I’m not nervous about presenting but I’d rather get things done than sit in a room with people explaining, ‘if you sell things for more money, you make more money.’
