Question:

At what version of did wireless headphones first arrive?

I can't find a definitive answer but looking at the different Bluetooth versions I'm assuming it was version 3.0 that was released in 2009.

Does this sound right or were there actually some mass produced Bluetooth v.1 or v.2 headphones?

@OutofPrintArchive I remember my friend had this game when it came out and I loved it.

I remember thinking at the time how the graphics were some of the best I had ever seen on a home console. 😂

I have never played it since, though. I wonder if it holds up?

Wait a minute!
I just came across Ridge Racer Type 4 on PS4 and it didn’t even ask me to subscribe to their retro thingy?!
Because I bought it years ago on Vita?
That’s amazing!
I didn’t even know that these games were available outside the subscription thing! 😳

@OutofPrintArchive Ridge Racer Type 4 = Pure bliss.

Judeau,
@Judeau@mas.to avatar

@OutofPrintArchive Hmmmm... that's strange. I played Type 4 quite a bit on the original PSX and I believe it was compatible with both digital and analog.

I'm pretty sure I only ever played with analog though. By the time I picked up a copy I had been playing Ridge Racer 64 for some time and was so used to analog controls.

Is it for curiosity's sake or are you just more comfortable with the digital controls?

I have no Insight but wish you luck on getting it working.

They just released the trailer for the six episode #Knuckles series today.

I'm really excited! I did not realize that it's going to be an extension of the movies.

I just assumed it was going to be a standalone cartoon or something.

Can't wait!

I never got to play Megaball on the but I loved it's inspired remake, DX-Ball on the

I just recently I discovered Ababall and loaded it onto my device and am having a blast with it.

What are some of your favorite ball and bat / Arkanoid style games?

Ababall on the Palm OS line of devices. Rows of blocks are arranged in different colors.

Judeau,
@Judeau@mas.to avatar

@rootcompute Another DX-Ball fan! 😁

Yeah. I've had DX-Ball 2 on my steam wish list for some time. I'll probably bite the next time it goes on sale.

Back in the early 2000s one of my friends gave me a copy of both 1 and 2 and I played them like crazy throughout the years.

To me it really is the standard by which all others are judged, but I'm curious what other great bat and ball games are out there.

Judeau,
@Judeau@mas.to avatar

@rootcompute Nice! I have not heard of either of these but they look great. I'll definitely check them out.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Hi @protonvpn We already have Proton VPN on F-Droid. And our users are looking forward to getting more Proton apps on F-Droid. Do you also want that?

Both Drive ( https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/12721 ) and Pass (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/13312 ) are waiting for your help to be finalized.

I really like Paint.net on and was hoping to find a alternative to the program.

is overkill for my needs.

I stumbled across and so far it looks great and seems to be a copy of Paint.net.

I'm still curious though. Are there any other similar programs that I should check out?

Judeau,
@Judeau@mas.to avatar

@bazkie So it's not just me then. 😁

I installed Pita and so far it seems like a decent Paint.net substitute, but I'll have to use it for a while before I can be certain.

In the meantime I thought I would ask here and see what the Linux community suggests.

Judeau,
@Judeau@mas.to avatar

@buru5 I need to take another look at Krita. The last time I messed with it was several years ago.

I am much more familiar with photo editing now so it would probably be worth the second look.

I agree. Paint.net is amazing. It does absolutely everything that I need it to do and is very intuitive.

Gimp is an incredibly powerful program but is just overwhelming to me and does far more than I need.

For me, paint.net strikes a perfect balance.

I'm super excited about the Collection on the .

It contains the first two games out of five.

I have part 2 for my and even though I never beat it, I always really enjoyed it.

As of right now this looks like the only way that part 1 will be playable in English and I don't want to miss out so I went ahead and pre-ordered a copy.

@br00t4c Walters talks about indoctrination by the left and then does absolutely everything he can possibly do to replace parts of the existing system with the most far right, extreme, political ideology that he possibly can.

All of the signs were there before he was elected. The people have chosen this and it's absolutely horrifying.

We will see if the people get fed up and vote him out. Unfortunately Oklahomans have a track record of letting these s*** bags run the state.

Can anyone recommend some that will give me and my spouse The Feels™? We watched Maboroshi last night and really enjoyed it, and we're now watching Orange with a plan to move on to Your Lie In April after that if we can still take it. We've also recently enjoyed Toradora!, Violet Evergarden, and Your Name.

A Silent Voice - About a deaf girl, a bully and the difficulties of growing up and trying to make amends. Very emotional.

Wolf Children - If you're a parent this one hits especially hard. It's about a mother trying to raise her two werewolf children as best she can. It sounds strange but it's one of the most beautiful films I've ever watched.

Summer Wars - The story of a large family that has to pull together and use their connections and skills to save the world. Togetherness

    Looks like it's also on Steam and is Steam Deck verified! I just added this to my wish list.

    Thanks for inadvertently bringing it to my attention.

    I started playing Phantasy Star III yesterday. I've had this copy for awhile--the sheer number of stickers from the rental store it came from always makes me laugh.

    I actually love physical games with rental store stickers--in retrospect, they were a short-lived phenomenon, and having evidence that they existed feels more meaningful than a pristine cart.

    Anyway, I'm not far but wheeeew, PSIII did not age well. I feel the same way about PSII tbh. Important games in a historical context but really hard to just play through and enjoy, lol

    Judeau,
    @Judeau@mas.to avatar

    @janejana Uhhhggg... all those stickers plastered on the cart are one thing I certainly don't miss about seeing video rental games out in the wild.

    I never made it very far in PSIII either. I liked what I played but I had issues with the magic system and did not realize what was causing my issues.

    If I remember correctly I had some poison characters that I could not heal and I believe I heard that if they are poisoned, healing spells won't work.

    I have yet to verify this. one day I will see.

    Judeau,
    @Judeau@mas.to avatar

    @janejana Aha! So that was the issue! Thanks for letting me know.

    I have never played an RPG where poison completely prevents a character from being healed. I believe I had both the instruction book and the official strategy guide and neither said anything about that as far as I recall.

    I assumed my copy of the game was bugged for years until I saw it casually mentioned on a forum somewhere.

    I just never got back around to giving the game another go.
