Definitely reminds me of NES Remix too. I really like the the little mini time attack challenges here, so I’ll probably check it out eventually.
The small print on the page does clarify for sure that the full NES games aren’t included though, which is a huge shame. Would be a really solid package if they were.
Hi all. I’ve been wanting to get into programming for a while now, specifically C#. However, I am not good at self-study or self-guided learning. Are there any good textbooks/workbooks that you’d recommend to learners of C# as a first programming language? I have some experience with coding, but not much more than simple...
Like where is the goto psych/CS UI 101 class/book/YT that over simplifies but grounds someone with no background or previous knowledge? Maybe something like the “Blender Doughnut” of great UI design?...
Excellent book. It’s very far from hands-on, and doesn’t even address UI in particular most of the time. Won’t tell you how to lay out anything, but puts you on the right empathetic mindset for design in general.
Based on OP’s description, might be just the ticket, but may also be too general for some tastes.
Ebooks have their convenience, and once in a while I’ll take a free one if offered, or pick them up cheap in a bundle.
But physical books capture my interest way better. More satisfying to hold and look at. Having a physical object around is a reminder to read. And paper books are better for tuning out distractions. If I try to read ebooks on a phone, tablet, or PC I can easily lose focus (though nice dumb-device readers are surely out there, I don’t have one).
I had similar happen to me. Put all of it together, turned it on, then panicked a little when it wouldn’t boot up.
Turns out one stick of RAM was not fully slotted in, so obviously that’s not OK. Was easy to spot once I double checked components. Popped it back out and in, then it was good to go.
Greentings As youve seen from the the title, i want to get a new printer as a present for my parents. Sadly they are still windows peasants and my mom somehow thinks that the HP printer on her desk has been a good financial investment, even though it has costed us more than 300 bucks in ink over the past 2 years....
Had to get a new one recently too. I’ve had good experiences w/ Brother in the past too, but couldn’t find one that quite fit the bill. Needed color and for it to be able to handle cardstock.
Ended up getting an Epson, one that’s in the eco tank line. Has been great so far. Works just fine out of the box on Linux (LTS Ubuntu, anyway)
And I meant to say, most helpful resource for me was the website rtings. Most review and best of lists I can find by searching are so spammy, it’s hard to get any signal. But at least that one let’s me filter a table of printers by features. I just don’t know how many they’re missing.
I tried a couple of times to find certain audiobooks, but seldomly had luck. There just does not seem to be a place that sells digital versions of audiobooks, similar to how bandcamp sells music....
Not really federated so far, right? They talk a lot about being open, but (when) will they be really? Can I sign up for an account that intereacts with Bluesky through any other provider?
I mean, I signed up, it seems interesting enough. If nothing else it has some recognizable accounts to follow, better network effect than Mastodon.
I’m pretty sick of my content addiction, like watching youtube or netflix all the time. I would rather be spending my time otherwise so figured fun things are the best to start. Do you have tips for fun things to do? Or how I could search for them?...
You didn’t rule it out, so my first thought is: play video games! It’s certainly on the line between consuming something and learning to do something. Some individual games can be a whole skill to study and hone for years (eg, learning a fighting game or a speedrun, etc etc)
Spirit of the question though, that would probably be considered content.
Other ideas, most already covered by other comments: art, photography, music, writing, programming, cooking, woodworking, or learning a new language.
I haven’t kept the closest eye on this - rumor is they’re planning to port more of their games to competing platforms, maybe allow 3rd party Xbox hardware, and phase out most physical Xbox games, right? Or am I way off the mark?
I’ve been aware of OCW for a while now, but only recently realized they had Japanese course materials (not many videos, mostly just outlines and some simple exercises)....
I’ve been toying with the idea of having a little hobby computer store for years and I’ve reached the point where I feel I have nothing to lose in trying it....
First step definitely would be to identify specifically what you’d like to improve. To say ‘tech skills’ is to cast a wide net. If you want to learn all sorts of things that’s fine, but to get started with that and identify resources you have to be at least temporarily specific.
Are you thinking along the lines of system administration? Networking? Programming? Hardware setup/troubleshooting?

Do you usually purchase digital or physical books? Why?
YSK if you've built a computer and it won't boot, sometimes the issue can be resolved by taking the memory out and putting it back.
Or by only putting one stick of memory in, or changing the slot you’re using....

Reward from backing the original project. Good to have the collection complete. Re-watch (and a first watch of Metagame) might be in order.
