Anyone bought the Riven remake yet? Can you check the credits and tell me if I'm in it?

(I'm supposed to be but I haven't heard anything since, and I don't have the cash to grab a copy yet)

Edit: it has been confirmed: I am!

Huh, apparently my deadname's busness internet account is eligible for student loan forgiveness.

Curious that AT&T's biz customer shit would be sold to student loan scammers

@munin yeah I got something similar. I was like "since when do the student loan people not know my real name?"

(fun fact: they let you change your last name at any time, but your first name can only be changed by mailing them shit. So for a while I had a terrible hybrid name of dead-first-name new-last-name)

@whitequark there was that thing where some US states have specifically banned "hunting-over-Webcam" because someone theorized Internet Hunting where you watch a Webcam and you have a button to shoot at the deer, remotely. It was never built, but it's now illegal in some states

2024 is the 30th anniversary of the last push for new NES titles. This was the final year of the system's official releases, as Nintendo and developers steered their sights toward the newer Super Nintendo and an Ultra system appearing just on the horizon.

What were your favorite 1994 releases on the Nintendo Entertainment System? :) :nes_controller:

Mega Man VI (1994) for the NES
TMNT Tournament Fighters (1994) for the NES
Wario's Woods (1994) for the NES

foone ,
@foone@digipres.club avatar

@ann3nova wario's woods is a great one.
Someday I hope to get a copy of it for nes and a copy for snes, because I want to do a latency comparison. I've always felt the nes one is snappier, but I realized I'm comparing two emulators, not just two games. Maybe the snes emulators are just laggier?

So I clearly need to test on real hardware

foone ,

@ann3nova the tricky part would be hooking up a single controller to both systems.

oh sweet jesus. I found some raspi-based GPS/RFID devices at ewaste, right? and they had a mini-PCIe WLAN card, complete with SIM card in it.

The SIM card is still active.

Yep. It's active on AT&T 4G data. It's got a phone number and everything.

I'm used to companies leaving all kinds of important info on microSD cards and individuals leaving their tax info on hard drives, but active SIM cards is a different thing entirely.
