Like a News Thread 8: Infinite Welp

out today

a friend played the demo for this and really liked it. i dunno exactly what to think from what i’ve seen, but it seems like it’s something very unique and probably something more people will want to check out.

I decided I would treat it like twitter and post weird on it way back in the day, and it accessed everybody who had me listed in their phone or email contacts because I didn’r let it sync my contacts, and it contacted them about welcoming me and they should check out what I was posting. It was horrifying.

One of my coworkers who otherwise seems pretty cool says he met her boyfriend on there. The internet is over.

LinkedIn operates like those Mormons doing posthumous baptisms, you can be a long-time user without having even heard of it.

I feel like I’ve written about this on here before but accidentally seeing inane LinkedIn bullshit posted by someone who you know socially feels analogous to and in some ways worse than stumbling across their porno browser history

since this isn’t FPGA or emulation, i’m putting this here:

someone has finally developed a flash cart for the Saturn that (mostly) seems to work

doesn’t seem like an absolutely perfect solution, but based on my experience with trying to burn CDs (they wouldn’t burn perfectly, would sometimes have messed up music, etc. - all my knowledge about making perfect CD burns doesn’t apply or is impossible in 2024, it seems), or the alternative of taking out the CD drive entirely to install a new board, i think it’s kind of ideal.

Did someone here post this? How did I end up opening this tab

Anyway, I ordered a satiator like 4 weeks ago and it hasn’t shipped yet. But they are answering my emails. I’ll let you know how that goes…

i…do you mean the post above yours?

i did not post that specific article, though, no. maybe someone did. huh.

well anyway, i ordered the SAROO cart recommended in the comments of the video i linked. for about $20 more, they will give you a formatted microSD card loaded with FUN. it does look like it’s a bit clunky, but i am willing to give it a shot and i am willing to bet it will be better in a few years.

Bad news, the store I was going to buy it from had sold the two consoles they had (one yesterday, the other today). Worst of all, they were bought online and so they were still on display!

working on a Microsoft-funded game seems like one of the most enervating things I can imagine. constant battle against entropy to get anything meaningful out the door

it’s kind of like how the best argument against Netflix’s business model is Netflix’s taste
