I've started to really like just mustard and sauerkraut on my hotdogs and racing games over FPS because they're a little slower paced.

I feel like I heard a lot about it a year ago during its release but I haven't heard anything about it in a while.

I get that it can play cartridges which is neat but is the accuracy of emulators these days that far off? Even if that is the case it seemed like a lot of people were hyping up the Analogue Pocket's jailbreak and ability to play games off of an SD card.

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts and if there have been any developments in the community.

My family did secret Santa every year with a $20 limit so it was typically gag gifts. One year a family member was sick on Christmas so we just left our gifts piled up in a closet.

None of the gifts had tags because it was all supposed to be anonymous so when we handed out gifts the following year my great grandma ended up unwrapping a box of noodles shaped like penises.

I played all the GBA games as a kid because I was dumb and thought it would be somewhat similar to the PC release. I still had a lot of fun with them. I really enjoy the quirkiness of them.

If I had to rate them it would be

1. Urbz

2. Bustin Out

3. The Sims 2

I played a bit of Urbz for the GameCube and I feel like it has to be the worst of all Sims console ports.

Pretty basic question but I am struggling to find the words to get the correct search result. The soldering iron I bought came with very narrow tips that I think are supposed to be used for circuit boards and components.

When I attempt to solder lines from a USB cord together the line never gets warm enough.

I remember in the past soldering copper lines together from an appliance with no issue so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong in terms of technique but who knows?

From my understanding you can run into issues when you have a combination of ports being forwarded and some other issue like SSH enabled on a Raspberry Pi with default credentials but I feel like I'm missing things or misunderstanding port forwarding.

I don't know if, for example, a computer connected to a network running a dated version of Windows is a risk simply because it is connected to the network. Even if it isn't being used for things such as web browsing.

I'm more concerned about remote threats versus local ones like someone having access to my WiFi password.

Coming from an Xbox 360 it took me a while to adjust to the stick placement and their convex tips so I was surprised to see that PS3XPAD allowed me to easily use a 360 controller. Since then I've even used Logitech controllers as well that share the same driver.

The only issue I've come across is with games that use montion controls. I went through the entirety of The Last of Us without charging my flashlight.

Unrelated but Nintendont (a program that allows you to play backed up GameCube games on your Wii) also allows you to do something similar and use PS3 (and many other controllers) on your system.

I wanted to give Usenet a try so I installed NZBGet and found a provider and indexer. That said I don't know if I should edit any security settings even if I don't have port forwarding enabled on my network. I've changed the default username and password and I'm connecting through a VPN but that's about it.

Real new to this so my concern is knowing enough to mess myself over.

Any other tips would be appreciated as well!

I was wondering why people pay for index sites until I tried looking myself for example.

I sort by all and new and have seen a fair amount of posts from bots bringing over content from Reddit. A lot of it doesn't have much if any engagement on here and as far as I can tell even if there was it wouldn't cross back and forth between the two platforms.

The communities these bots are posting to seem to have a low amount of subscribers and with the flood of content it seems a bit like a ghost town. Almost like subscribing to the RSS feed of a subreddit.

I'm not up in arms about it. The posts are being made by only a couple of bots into subreddit specific communities (ex. AskReddit) and Lemmy gives you the ability to block communities so this isn't really showing up in my feed anymore.

The only possible issue I could see in the future is if Lemmy communities tried to link with a subreddit's. For example an instance's pc gaming community with /r/PCGaming.

I'm curious to hear how you feel about Reddit content automatically (or even manually) being posted here.

I found this post /r/FalloutFAQ a while back and thought it was rather interesting.

To summarize a lot of the post:

• In an interview with The Guardian Todd Howard stated that he's happy with the level availability games have due to backwards compatibility and that he prefers games like the original Fallout to be played the way they were originally intended. Skyrim being remastered was a product of special circumstances.

• A section talks about when Fallout fans thought Fallout 3 was going to be remastered in 2019 and the history of bad remasters

• There has been a bit of debate about whether or not the source code for the classic Fallout titles was lost.

(TLDR) Essentially there doesn't seem to be much interest from Bethesda.

Remakes:

• Fallout 1 in Fallout New Vegas

Ceased development in 2019. Multiple YouTube videos are available showing off what was completed.

• The Chosen's Way

An attempt to recreate Fallout 2 in Fallout New Vegas. The mod author's VK page appears to have last been updated in April of 2022. The ModDB page was lasted updated in October 2017.

• FreeFT

Designed to be an open-source version of Fallout Tactics

• Fallout 4: Capital Wasteland

A remake of Fallout 3 in Fallout 4's engine. Was temporarily cancelled due to audio rights issues. Appears to still be under development with the release of their Fallout 4: Point Lookout mod in February of 2022. Their Discord may contain further information.

• Fallout 4 New Vegas

A remake of Fallout New Vegas in Fallout 4. I linked to the Nitter page instead of their Facebook/Twitter/Discord page so you can see their posts without logging in. The original web page linked in the Reddit post no longer works. Appears to still be in development.

Notable mentions:

• Fallout Tactics Redux

Tried to revise Fallout Tactics from the ground up to create a better overall experience and restore lost content. Last update was in August of 2016.

• Tale of Two Wastelands

A well known mod that combines Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.

• Fallout CE

Ports of the original two Fallout games for modern operating systems (MacOS, Windows, Android, and the PS Vita).

fo2.exe is an Android port that is also available on the Google Play Store.

• Fallout Yesterday

A recreation of Van Buren in Fallout 2's engine.

• Project Van Buren

Another recreation of Van Buren but in the Unity engine.

From my understanding the DVD releases don't contain music videos but unfortunately I've only found edits or recordings of the original airing that include them.

This is kind of similar to only being able to find the directors cut of a movie online.

I would appreciate if someone pointed me in the right direction

For those who don't know about Fallout Van Buren you can read more on the Fallout Wiki but it would have been the third mainline Fallout game. It was canceled when Interplay Entertainment went bankrupt in 2003. There was a tech demo released and several design documents. Multiple concepts from Van Buren ended up appearing in Fallout New Vegas.

There have been several attempts at remaking the game in various engines. The most well known project used to be known as Project Van Buren but goes by Revelation Blues now.
