N64 games regularly cost in the range of $60 to $80 in the mid 90s. In today’s dollars, games would need to be double that to match the same cost. Just because the price goes up a little in the last 10 years, doesn’t change the fact that games are at a historic low cost. There are reasons to be upset about how far (or not) your hard earned dollars can go today, but video game prices are not one of them, objectively.

Yup. Dotcom and Housing crisis saw the entire market drop over 50% each in ~3 years until lowest point, but since the 90s, the market has only gone up overall… 3000%. This is a blip, enjoy the sale.

The only safe way to fly is to not fly.

It’s not birth control.

You can also try being a crosswalk, stairs, bicycle, or even a hill.

Abstinence is not birth control.

That’s like saying the only way to build a house that doesn’t fall down is to not build the house.

This is mostly an IOPS dependent answer. Do you have multiple hot services constantly hitting the disk? If so, it can be advantageous to split the heavy hitters across different disk controllers, so in high redundancy situations that means different dedicated pools. If it’s a bunch of services just reading, filesystems like ZFS use caching to almost completely eliminate disk thrashing.

Yeah, you can invoke any dotnet api as long as you know which library to pull it from.

Yup, same. I prefer zsh and omz, but I write all my shell scripts in bash for portability and compatibility.

The official dock has been fine for me on both an LCD 1st batch model and a late 2024 OLED model, plugged in 100% of the time. What dock are you using? There’s a lot of bad docks out there, from a compatibility standpoint.

Another thing to try is a full factory reset. Make sure your game saves are backed up in steam cloud and move as many games to the SD card or temporary drive as you can to make it easier to get back up and running.

Absolutely against invading the sovereignty of one of our closest allies and friends, but why tf would they make it one singular state? There’s no way they would pass up the opportunity to split it up into many states, likely along existing province lines, in order to keep numbers up much like gerrymandering does. The premise is stupid to begin with so I’m annoyed I’m entertaining the thought, but it’s so strange that it keeps coming up like it would be one state.

There’s a more comprehensive breakdown from yachtclub themselves here I was off a bit in my specific examples but overall they do a good job breaking down why their game fits and breaks the mold with lots of examples. The game is a lot more faithful to NES than the vast majority of indie pixel art games. There were a few late-gen NES titles that are relatively unknown but look way more detailed and complex than the typical NES game too.
