The Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive) had expansions that were meant to improve the capability of the system and extend its lifespan, but ultimately they weren’t super popular because it didn’t make sense to make games for such a small subset of Sega’s market share.

This is the 32x add-on that allowed for 32bit processing, and someone has just stacked a bunch of them on top of each other to be funny.

(Pictured here is the base system in the center, with the 32x add-on on top and the CD player below)

Do you use it a lot? Or does it auto-run on startup?

I might open the app maybe once or twice a month, and it frequently asks for credentials.

I’ve been having decent luck adding topics that I like (e.g. Star Trek), but I guess what I’m most curious to find are types of feeds that translate well to RSS. Like, weather alerts, podcasts, webcomics, etc.

Ah, very nice! I’ve heard you can follow any Mastodon account via RSS too, but I haven’t tried that out yet. I’m glad to see RSS is alive and well in the fediverse.

The tags for specific feeds seem to be really important for news sites. I tried adding one without it, and it completely overwhelmed my feed with a billion posts per day. I removed it in less than 24 hrs, lol

Oh, very cool idea! I’m adding the star trek tag now to try it out and may expand from there if I like it. Thanks!

This is promising! Thanks.

I’m using Feeder too. I haven’t tried any others, but I remember someone on lemmy recommended it once before, and it seems perfectly good to me.

I had no idea this feature existed.

And it happened again!

But you get to be silly with the kid/s now! And as a whole family of weirdos!

but it shipped, didn’t it! Looking at you pippin.

This is the kind of story I was hoping to hear in this thread.

Did you enjoy it at the time, or was there a sense of it not being a great console? I know that we were much more forgiving of janky games back then, so it’s hard to look at it fairly from 2025.

Determine if the relationship is having a negative impact on you, then either 1) assess why it’s hurting you and if there’s anything to adjust about how you’re processing it, or 2) protect your mental health by setting up the boundaries that you need, cutting off as a last resort.

Be cautious about asking this online though. People are tribal about politics and have zero investment in your IRL relationships, so you may see lots of rationalizing of cutting off a lifelong friend, family member, spouse, etc without much nuance. Only you have the proper perspective to determine what you’d be sacrificing and if it’s a net positive.

For as much as I played Super Metroid back in the day, I’m not sure if I ever completed it. I should fix that.

VR is the one thing that feels similar to the old generational leaps to me. It’s great, but I haven’t set mine up in a few years now.

Don’t forget how many modern AAA games feel like you’re playing a gamified version of your car’s navigation app.

Waypoint>cutscene>waypoint>cutscene>waypoint>cutscene

Hell, chess is huge right now, and it’s over 1500 years old.
