Yeah it’s a little bittersweet. But, honestly, I play more games now than ever before and the features that emulation provides means that more games are accessible to me. The kid version of me would’ve been stoked to see the cart, but would have be more stoked to see save states, fast forward, rewind, shaders, and cheats. Not to mention fan translations and romhacks!

Definitely underrated! Played that ones a lot as a kid.

Oh weird, I didn’t even think about that. Yeah anything with dynamic ads would likely set them per country, I suppose. So some places wouldn’t have anything to go in the slot.

I don’t know if it’s open-minded per se, I just like people having good discussion. Like I don’t give a shit about astrophysics, but I’ll listen to an astrophysicist explain what excites him all day. I listen to my SO gush about fountain pens all the time, but have no interest in them whatsoever. If I only listened to things I had a pre-existing interest in then I’d never discover anything new to enjoy.

One of the podcasts someone recommended in this thread is just two dudes dunking on Alex Jones. I don’t give a shit about Alex Jones, he seems like a dirtbag. But listening to them dunk on him is hilarious!

You know what I like? People talking passionately about stuff they like. I also don’t like ads. It’s not that hard to figure out, not sure why you’re coming in so hot.

Hearing people with passion explain things they’re knowledgeable about is fun, enlightening, and interesting to me. Sue me.

While I’m at it, got any book recommendations?

Then either is honestly a great choice, but the RG35XXSP does have a very slight feature advantage. But it does also have very clicky buttons (think original GPA SP but stiffer), so if you’re a button-feel person then that might be a deciding factor.

Very possible! The podcast host I use offers a few kinds of ad services so there’s no telling. I don’t use them so I’m not totally sure how they work, but I’ve seen the options when I log in.

I’m not sure it’s a very good story but the fx and stuff all has so much heart that’s it’s hard to dislike it. Overall we’re having a lot of fun with it, even when we’re kind of laughing at it rather than with it.

Popping back in to say that this is a really good show! Going right into the regular rotation, thanks for doing what you do.

Interesting, guess they started running ads recently. I wonder if they’ll begin injecting them into older shows eventually, I know some hosts offer that as a service.

Well dang, that’s unfortunate.

A friend of mine has been slowly working through Farscape with me and Stargate is on our short list for what to watch next. I’ll definitely be pushing for it even harder now, got the first three episodes of the podcast loaded up and ready to go lol

Sounds engaging! Also going onto the ever growing list.

I’ve been looking for a good excuse to dig into Stargate anyway, so that’s perfect.

Oooh that does sound nice. Thanks for the rec, on the list of goes!

I’ve only started it, but it’s surprisingly good! I hesitate to recommend it too much because I’ve barely played any, but I’m definitely intrigued.

Sounds fun, adding it to the list! My own show just hit 500, so I know how tough it is to stick to it week after week, kudos to them for making it so far.

Man, that’s living the dream! I’ve been considering the same since they’re so cheap right now. IPS screen and a flash cart was my plan. Have you played the fan translations of Digimon Adventure?

Yeah that’s a little niche, but you’re going on the MP3 player anyway! I’d rather learn about something new from people who want to talk about it than hears ads played over something I already like :)

I already use sponsorblock and other add-ons for youtube, but I try to spend as little time as possible there. I sync my podcasts to an MP3 player. Thanks for the tip though!
