This was beautiful, thank you for sharing it. I did not have “Feeling less alone because an internet stranger shared a Henry Rollins quote on Lemmy” on my agenda this evening, but here we are.
I’m just this guy, you know?

I use “Focus Plant: Pomodoro timer” on Android, but there is an iPhone version too. It’s free, with ads, but there is a subscription that removes them. I can only speak to how it works on Android, but in addition to blocking other apps (or at least adding a barrier to get to them) it gamifies things by letting you earn “raindrops” for focusing. Those are used to water little plant monsters, which there are a ton of. You can set a specific timer, regular or pomodoro, or just a count up, and it will show you a little icon for other people who are also currently focusing, which is kind of nice. It’s a bit silly, but the added layers of game and very light social aspect add a little that help me personally. It’s very usable with ads if you want to try it without committing money. I personally subscribe because it makes some of the game bits (sort of loot crates) more fun, but that’s definitely optional. (Good grief this sounds like I’m astroturfing for the company. I’m not, I just tried a bunch of other apps too, and this one has a combination of features that helped my dumpster fire of a brain.)
Ditto! I’ve been playing with 8-bit assembly programming and it’s fascinating how this mechanic was implemented in just a couple bytes of level data.
I second all of this. I started using AntennaPod a couple months ago and like it. It handles “chapters” in podcasts better, too. Searching is fiddly though.
I’m the duck, using my feathers as opposable thumbs.
I found this on csdb last night, it’s a fun concept! Thanks for sharing here.
This looks interesting, thanks for sharing! I’ve played around a bit in Tinkercad (too limited) and Fusion 360 (complicated) but haven’t found something that feels right yet. I bookmarked this to follow what you find!
This looks really interesting, thanks for sharing. Can the “live” aspect be dialed back or paused? I always worry about live wallpaper eating up the battery.
I’ve never seen these before and I like them a lot! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I have the full Tower of Power, but don’t have a Genesis Everdrive… this may be the push I need to get one!
This sounds super cool! Is this a romhack of the 32x cart, that would need to be run from something like an Everdrive, or is it somehow running from the Sega CD, off of a burned disk? It sounds like the former, but I’ve never heard of a 32x cart accessing the Sega CD, just the other way around.
Thank you for continuing to write these reviews! As a relatively new 8-bit computer fan (I was team IBM PC back in the day) I adore the seeing the pros and cons of each port in each platform. I’ll be firing this up on my C64 later to experience it, and might try to get it going on emulators for the others.
That’s always been my feeling too. I think Mario can run faster, and Luigi can jump a little higher, but Peach just controls better. Who knows what kind of maniac would choose Toad.
They did invent a pretty useful knife, so I suppose it would be nice to thank them for that. /s
I wear glasses too, and it’s mixed. The headphones work better when they are next to your head, so the arms of the glasses are on top. My current glasses slip when I do this and it drives me crazy, but I have an old pair that doesn’t have this problem so I just wear those when I run (the arms bend between my ears a little.) YMMV.
Not sure about the Pro being a Best buy exclusive… Shockz sells them from their site directly. Seems like I’ve seen them at my local running store too, but it’s possible those were just the non-pro.
Shockz are the best I’ve used, by far. I had a couple different kinds of non bone conducting in the past and the wind noise was always such a problem that I couldn’t use them on windy days, similar to what you mentioned. If you haven’t tried Shockz lately, you might want to find a running store that carries them and give it another shot. I recently got the OpenRun, and was surprised that they sounded better than the 3 year old “Air by Aftershockz” they replaced. (My dog chewed up the old ones 🫠) The OpenRun Pro are supposed to sound even better, but are not cheap.
Inb4 someone asks how to do this
Linux does exactly what you tell it to, not exactly what you want. There’s a big difference.
Are you me? LukHash is my go to. I can’t imagine how many times I’ve listened to Virtual Burnout and Better Than Reality in the last year.
