The Sentinel (on C64) was the first game that gave me nightmares, shouldn't have played it while still recovering from a fever I guess. Seems silly now we have games like Resident Evil Requiem but I remember Forbidden Forest (also C64) being genuinely scary in places.

Lightguns and HDMI mods – GunCon 1 Edition This article is a small update to our “Light Guns and HDMI Mods” article that we published back in 2022. Back then, there was no pass-through mode for the PS1 digital upgrade. That has now changed and pass-through modes are now available, allowing for direct 240p/288p output via HDMI, so it's time to dust off our GunCon’s! The Namco G-con 45 (known as GunCon NPC-103 in other countries) is one of the best loved old-school light guns.

I’ll be streaming some Irish indies as part of this event at 7PM GMT both this coming Sunday and coming Tuesday (St. Patrick’s day)

That’s right two days, because there’s too much good stuff for just one stream 🇮🇪

I dunno why but death by drowning always stresses me out more in games than it should, not like there aren't a million other ways to meet a grizzly end in most videogames...

I Compared US and UK Free Speech. I Was Shocked YouTube video by Evan Edinger

Free speech may be under threat in both the UK and the USA, but it's important to keep things in context. If you watch one video on the topic, make it this one, an excellent look at what's really happening on both sides of the pond - www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB3W...

How falling battery costs are igniting race for round-the-clock solar power Outside Abu Dhabi, a vast area of desert is being carpeted with solar panels.

Make sure your loved ones aren't operating on out of date priors about intermittent renewables: tell them batteries are now an economical supplement generating full time dispatchable power from them.

"How falling battery costs are igniting race for round-the-clock solar power"

Yeah I think those figures are a little pessimistic personally, based on what I've read lately, and as batteries proliferate through homes and businesses, peak demand will get less and less. We'll see though. I certainly would have no problem with them shutting off ChatGPT when it's cloudy.

Interesting, even that less optimistic paper seems to agree that over provisioning and grid upgrades can mitigate a lot of intermittency. So much wind curtailed in the UK rn due to the grid not lack of storage. I say let's try it, no need to retire the last fossil plant until we're sure.

Rethinking Energy -- 100% Solar, Wind and Batteries Is Just The Beginning YouTube video by Tony Seba

Generally much less storage is required than people think if you actually look into it. Most times over provisioning is enough. Have a look at the presentations of Tony Seba where he talks about the clean energy u-curve. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM2R...

The technology is there and 100s of peer reviewed studies say the same. You use a combination of over provisioning and storage to mitigate intermittency. Here are here are 89 papers by 37 groups & >210 authors finding 100% renewable grids feasible worldwide w/o nuclear, CCUSP, H2 - t.co/BxtqRUaVbu

Nice to see them suing over something other than emulators tbh.

But sure, ID verification everywhere online makes us all safer right?
