Superb

Yes but only for 6 seconds

Given recent revelations, more like he’d just assume that’s what he ordered and eat it.

I wonder if it has something to do with “frogs” in bricks - frogs being the concave indentation in the surface of a brick. “Stitching” kind of works with masonry as well…

I’ve never heard of PortMaster, I still haven’t got bored of all the tiny best set games yet!
I think I played half life (maybe 2?) when I was a kid and it scared the crap out of me!

Aliexpress. I bought from a UK website first time and it was double the price but still shipped from China, making it a bit pointless. This is the aliexpress link I used, I have no connection to the seller and only bought from them once, but it arrived in good condition and I’ve tested it works as expected. The unit I received was a “v5”, or “screen panel v4”, I paid £25:

Yeah it’s great, my daughter has been enjoying all the old games as well so i bought her one too for her birthday. It’s much easier as a parent to give her the R36s and the retro games because they are all self contained offline things unlike a lot of modern games.
Some things I’d say to consider before buying:
- Factor in the cost of a good quality SD card (or two, one for the system and one for ROMs) to replace the one that comes with it. There are loads of warnings in forums etc about the cards that are supplied, but even so I was shocked when the card that came with mine broke after 2 days. Get a decent card like Samsung Evo Plus 128GB.
- It’s easier to start fresh when you get a new card than it would be to clone the one that comes with the device. Get the OS from here: github.com/AeolusUX/ArkOS-R3XS/releases
- For ROMs, search archive.org for “tiny best set go”

I’ve been playing Crash Bandicoot on an R36s recently, it’ such a nostalgic game. Amazing that you can play it on a ~£35 handheld! You can’t beat the gameplay in some of the old classics.

Agreed. And alternatives exist, like Kobo

Oof
He’d probably like today’s politics, it seems fashionable to just lean into anything bad someone says about you.
- Comment on "It seems likely Elon Musk has lost over half of the UK twitter daily audience by now" 5 months ago:
I agree it’s improbable, I wouldn’t be surprised if it has accelerated though as Musk has been becoming increasingly obnoxious in UK and European politics. I’m sure there’s something like a 30% floor of people who actually like his shit.
- Comment on Go into debt if you have to 5 months ago:
by 2040 no metric ton of fossil fuels will be transported anymore
I seriously doubt it. Many countries are decarbonising like the UK has by getting rid of coal fired power stations and switching to renewables plus gas, because gas is a good way to solve the intermittency issues you get with many renewables. 2040 is not very far away, on that timescale the demand for LNG may actually go up.
- Comment on MPs back proposals to legalise assisted dying 6 months ago:
The legal protection in this case being a literal high court judge having to check the person is not being coerced and sign it off. That’s a pretty high bar in my opinion!
- Comment on MPs vote in favour of historic bill to allow assisted dying after emotional debate 6 months ago:
It’s not possible for that to happen in the UK without a further bill in Parliament. I believe in Canada the law has changed as a result of decisions by the courts.
