@eramdam oh, I see why. Sunny.garden defederated from the server I'm on. Absolutely ridiculous

@eramdam definitely would've seen that since I used to follow them but for whatever reason I'm now left at "follow request" but that is awesome! I miss the Wacom I had for my Win98 desktop. It died a few years ago. And ofc my cat chewed through my old USB Wacom Graphite so I can't use that

@eramdam do you use that Wacom tablet with the iMac? Love seeing when folks are using older digital art stuff

@eramdam I have two of these keyboards from a PowerMac G4 and an eMac. Both were absolutely disgusting and both took forever to clean. I'm sad though that my cat chewed through the cables on both of my matching mice

@Oregon_Pacifist I've got a 1TB drive that I had laying around so I formatted it and am currently gathering games to put on it. My Wii disc drive died some time ago so this is the only way I can play games on it.

I need to get new GameCube controllers so I can play those games. I'm just thankful I have 3 Wii remotes and there's 3 folks in the household so we can still play multiplayer Wii games

The Wii to me is the last console for "the family". Currently setting up my Wii with USB GXLoader so that my roommates and I can play games such as Just Dance, Mario Party 8, and Wii Sports

@h3 @a1ba I'm in the USA where I'm pretty sure everything around me has unfortunately been replaced with 5G. I'm more than happy to be proven wrong though

@a1ba my dad still has his Razr V3 that I also used as my first phone. The battery is shot but I wonder if I could get this going. Insane someone got Linux running on the phone. Too bad the wireless technology (I'd imagine it's 2G) is so old that there's likely no potential for in the future to get these old phones fully working again under Linux with telecommunications

@heyheymomo

@techokami the dam has been damned 😂

@internetarchive save something before it disappears means downloading it to local storage, not saving it to a list on IA. Can't tell you how many times something I saved to a list or my favorites has been taken down because some grubby company decided it no longer what it claims to own should be archived

@riverpunk went through something very similar. Had a friend who got me set up with Artix and I hated how I felt I had to manage everything. I recently ended up switching back to my favorite Debian-based distro, SparkyLinux. I'm on the semi-rolling release and I just feel more at home since I have been using Debian-based distros since 2015

@Oregon_Pacifist oh yeah I'll enjoy that! I loved FFX

@Oregon_Pacifist oh wow how have I never heard of this game? Reading the Wikipedia article, this sounds like it'd be something I'd enjoy. I probably saw it on the shelf and the title didn't peak my interest tbh

BIG F***ING NEWS! BLUE DRAGON HAS A PC PORT!!!! Literally jumping up and down right now as I read this article. Apparently it works on the Steam Deck, which means Linux support (even if its via WINE/Proton)! https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/blue-dragon-has-been-stuck-on-the-xbox-360-for-20-years-but-no-longer-a-fantastic-unofficial-pc-port-unlocks-the-fps-goes-4k-and-even-adds-mod-support/

I will be binging Transformers G1 starting tonight. RIP Peter Cullen, the original VA for Optimus Prime

TIL the Coleco ADAM had a disk drive! I wish I had that drive. The cassettes are hard sectored and near impossible to find. I doubt the floppy format is proprietary but luck would have it if it was

@JakobFel I watched my father play this on the PS3 and I remember thinking it looked so beautiful. Never got a chance to play it myself but perhaps one day

@ffaw ai slop

@nostalgiafolder I remember coming home every month with this and I'd sit down with my mom while I circled a few days out of the month that I wanted to get school lunch instead of a packed lunch
