that sounds useful! I should probably fire up Mint Mate on a bootable USB and check directly on keys and (to a degree, appreciate you don't get optimal from a USB boot) performance

Been using Mint for a while now and I really like Cinnamon but thinking Mate might be slightly snappier on my 7+ year old laptop (i5, SSD, 8gb ram).
In day to day I suspect the window management keyboard shortcuts (super+up, down etc) I'd miss but surely that can be replicated on Mate?

embrace the new! Follow some hashtags to pick up decent folk to follow 😁 I like #RetroGaming of course but have a look around at others.
Alternatively if you don’t want to fill your feed with a followed hashtag (understandable for some of the busier ones especially as you’re on the biggest server) you can “pin” a hashtag in the tweetdeck style desktop view (“advanced” version in web settings) or use something like mastodeck.com to achieve similar also on mobile).

@npub1lum…j7vd tentatively stepping into these waters? 😀

Emulating the Gane Gear and expanding the field of view / visible play area makes its Sonic games really good to play. On a quick look it might even be slightly better for Sonic 1 and 2 than running via Master System emulator..!
Of course trade off is all the sprites a smaller so there's certainly a trade-off for anything also available on Master System but it seemed good fun. So that's Sonic Tripple Trouble added to the Sonic playthrough. Let's chuck in Tails Adventure as well 🦊

he’d help terraform the place with the vast amounts of hot air he emits 😆

This sort of thing, and stories of Google banning users without justification & refusing to reverse, is what lead me to start to take back control of my digital identity. Key thing is owning your email address. That’s the key to almost all your online services.
Then I do my best not to be totally dependent on services that can be revoked from me. Which isn’t to say I don’t use them but I try to have alternative routes in the event of an issue.

Sonic 2 on the Master System finished on lunch break. Now onto Sonic Chaos! Playing through as Tails of course 😉
Also got the GBA core on the Retroid Pocket 3 displaying a little smaller (but still bigger than the original) for better looking Sonic Advance when I get to that one.

There’s been attempts to get new Retro gaming forums going, but ultimately I think they struggle because it’s _another_ login to make & monitor etc..
So I propose this: a #RetroGaming email discussion list!
No new usernames or passwords required, no new places to monitor for goings on, it’s all in what you already have.
Fancy giving it a go? This is the sign-up link 😁👾🕹️

I have three DS consoles (a phat, a lite, and a DSi). Yesterday I was gifted another DS Lite. I now have enough DS consoles for 4 player wireless antics! Happy days 😁 #retrogaming #nintendods

I just discovered LocoRoco. This is a problem 😂

I believe it might at last be time to part way with my old friend Game Boy DMG-01.
Many happy years with it enjoyed, a Christmas gift from Dad when I was small, but I’m realistically not going to play it now and not going to subject my little one to it when we have a GBA SP 001 around instead.
Better for it to be enjoyed and used by someone than gather dust in a drawer ☺️

6 accounts each with 1TB storage for a total of £80 annually specifically

looks amazing! Sadly out of my price range for the volume of storage needed 😞 I’m stuck on M365 based on the price, would love to move off it but getting a storage and to a degree a feature match for their family plan is an impossible dream
