  • Just played the NES Contra yesterday for the first time in probably over a decade. Still can beat it first try although I did have to use a couple of continuous on stage 4. I'm so used to not dying that I forgot where to find the good weapons. But for stages 5-8 I still had all the muscle memory of where to shoot and when that I developed as a kid.

  • I'm very interested in this and will try it out. There was another connection manager that the author posts on Lemmy, but the memory usage was very high due to the amount of docker containers used. A quick glance showed no requirement for docker. The ssh port forwarding could be a very useful feature for my work right now.

  • The exercise bit is so important. I'm mid 40s recently started working out with weights again after about 6 years of being somewhat sedentary other than running/walking dogs. Almost instantly I had worked out some pain my shoulder had been giving me that had been preventing me from sleeping well, and I don't grunt when getting up from a crouched position anymore. Also just feeling better and more capable all around.

  • This is a really neat and well written list of games. It's so interesting how different these games were from the console games at the time. So many live acted sequences with pre rendered backgrounds. The only game I knew of beforehand was Phantasmagoria, but Dark Seed was ringing a bell. Perhaps a friend had that one. I might have to try some of these games.

  • Probably because older phones are in maintance mode for the OS. Adding new features always carries some complexity and testing all models takes time. Limit the models to test to only the more recent ones and you save money.

    That said, it would be so nice to have a more open system where I can decide that if that goes on my phone myself.

    Scheifele sets franchise points record as Winnipeg Jets down Nashville 4-1

    I remember getting my haircut one day after Scheifele had played one of his first pre-season games with the Jets and he said "That Scheifele kid is gonna be something, eh?" Yeah, he sure is. Couldn't ask for a better first round pick to reboot the franchise. He didn't have any expectations going on as he was a "stretch" pick.

    Let's stop dicking around and talk about ditching something big: Visa and Mastercard

    Visa and Mastercard are American companies, and they essentially tax everybody by taking a percentage of purchase prices for themselves. Not exactly a small percentage either, 1.2% to 2.65%. Ever wonder why so many merchants say they don't accept American Express? That's because they charge quite a bit more to merchantes, 50% more than Visa or Mastercard. Anyway, we're letting American companies tax us and we love them because we get rewards when we use cards. But it's just a shell game because we pay more up front because businesses need to charge more to make up for payment processing charges. They get to sit in the middle and rake in the money.

    Now the alternative in Canada is Interac. Interac charges a set amount per transcation. How much? 2 to 5.5 cents. Unless you're going through Apple or Google Pay, and then i
