Not entirely software, but the MiSTer FPGA project. Having accurate zero-lag hardware accurate versions of almost every console, many arcade games, PCs (Amiga, Commodore etc), and handheld up to and including the PlayStation in a box the size of a game boy is unreal.
Majority of the project is open source, and has been used for ports to the analogue pocket handheld, which I also have and use often
“The name’s Bond, James Bond”. Because of that quote, I have never failed to remember James Bond’s name.
I live on the coast, my home being a five minute walk from the beach, and between two large towns. In between is countryside one side or quiet roads the other side. So wherever I go, I can take the residential routes (all suitable for pedestrians), walk along the coastline, or go around through the woods and parks.
So on Monday I walked through a country park, around a large bay, through to town to buy some lunch. I then walked alongside the beach up to a forest path, then to the next town where I looked at a few shops and walked back a slightly different way!

Two photos from yesterday and a few days back. It’s probably one of the nicest areas in the country, which helps: https://i.postimg.cc/T2QCGNvq/IMG-20230709-144117.jpg
And the other one:
I walk, a lot. Everywhere. Always have done.
It keeps me nice and slim, and is my way of dealing with stress and any thoughts I may have swishing around in my head. I live in an area that allows me to walk anywhere I want (ie. not America) and I don’t need a car at all, luckily.
And I do push it a bit. I walked 36km which is around 21 miles on Sunday, and 32km on Saturday. My legs were starting to hurt like hell nearing the end of it but I always keep going. It feels good to push past what I thought was my limit and keep going. I don’t think there’s any real conscious thought behind it, it’s just how I am. And as I’m in the office today, I’ll be walking there and back too (5 miles each way), no bother at all.
Running and weight lifting though? Not my thing. Too much rushing around for the former and not enough moving around for the latter!
Edit: realised my conversion to miles is off. It’s early. Turns out according to Google maps I walked 21 miles Sunday…! Took just under 5 hours. And I did get a bit sunburnt, but otherwise fine as usual
UK focused casual discussion and news.
There’s a very small amount, but nothing like there was on Reddit. It’s the only thing I miss.
Windows 11…I previously had windows 10, but the auto-HDR mode on W11 sold me on upgrading, especially when it works with Yuzu (switch emulator). I honestly have no complaints, after a bit of tweaking it just feels like Windows 10+.
But for work and non-gaming I dual boot to Linux Mint, although I’m eyeing up Void OS now…
On the steam deck I just use steamos of course
Thomas the Tank Engine on SNES. Me and my mates used to find it hilarious when high. Still do.
Jerboa, first one I found!
Pretty good actually, android app is neat.
I met Jeremy Clarkson - he was alright, very pleasant and funny
