Spoilers here, but I'd always wondered why Snatcher's third act kinda sucks - mostly because of the absolutely ridiculous jilted-lover contrivance - and now I know that it's akin to all those cancelled-too-soon Whedon shows... Oh well.
Found a positive-tipped, 9V, 1.5A power adapter at a thrift store for $4 that works with the re-capped Game Gear, so that's nice.
The Eternal Life of Goldman demo is one of the best games I've ever played.
Found-out about and bought Druidstone - I'd wondered what happened to the Grimrock devs. It's tricky.
Immortals of Aveum is fine - the ~7/10 average out there feels about right. Way more Metroid Prime than I expected; lots to do, though it's all pretty janky - usual Unreal quirks, inconsistent performance at any setting, keyboard gymnastics, unnecessary powerups, the main character, a lot of the dialogue - but nothing show-stopping.
Bought a random copy of Jeep Thrills for Wii from a thrift store because of that stupid name... I guess I should bite the bullet and finally buy Ninjabread Man :)
Virtua Racing Deluxe was my first 32X game, it still holds-up incredibly well today, the idea of an optimised version running at 40FPS is really exciting, and sega-vr-disasm promises just that. The GitHub project is missing required files though, and the documentation is inaccurate... On-purpose or careless? Even after 20+ years in DevOps, I can never tell. I sussed-out and built the proper environment (WSL 2 + Arch + marsdev), wrote the missing .lds files myself, and made the latest ROM in spite of everything - and I honestly don't really notice a huge difference 😅 It doesn't seem to run on actual hardware; maybe I've done something wrong though.
I'd heard CachyOS was fast, so I tried it with Xfce on that awful dual-core, single-thread, 1.6GHz Celeron, 4GB of RAM, eMMC, HP Stream - 14-ax010ca (ENERGY STAR) laptop... And it's not that bad as long as I don't try to do too many things at once. EndeavourOS is still a more cohesive overall experience (with Xfce, anyway), but no real complaints
Also, PocketDoom upgraded to OPL3!
