- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 day ago:
You do need to back off the go-pedal in sharp corners, and occasionally turn in to a slide to cancel it.

In Super Sprint, on the track below, once I get enough lead up on the 3rd or 4th lap, I would enter the red arrow 360 loop and then just keep spinning the steering-wheel left. This makes the car do 2-3 donuts around the loop, until going out of control backwards to explode into the barrier.
Always worth it.
- Comment on Why can't we have a static vintage web? 1 week ago:
Hey awesome!
You are much better equipped to explain the site culture and node-structure, than I am.
I did read through various nodes during the SlashDot era, but only check-in sporadically now.

Everything2.com
feels like the old 'net.
Tons of content.

- Comment on Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics? 2 weeks ago:
The original tiny-mic legend, Nat’s What I Reckon reviewing the overpriced-boatshow.
He grabs anything kicking around, for a mic-holder. (Find the one where he uses a sprig of rosemary as the mic-holder)
- Comment on Why Is The Big Bad Of Bubble Bobble Named ‘Super Drunk’? 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on LBreakout2 level 19/37 - How the hell do I get past the unbreakable bricks? 2 weeks ago:
Glad to help.
It’s been years since I’ve played LBreakout2. It is a solid game, and I like that it follows the style of old Amiga games.
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 2 weeks ago:
If you let us know the video or article that got you on the diet, we can advise more.
Often diet advice is bogus when it does not come from a dietician.
Some random advice can be harmful.
- Comment on LBreakout2 level 19/37 - How the hell do I get past the unbreakable bricks? 2 weeks ago:
Looks like grey and blue bricks.
Focus on the grey ones in the middle, or follow the colour-scheme of previous levels.
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 2 weeks ago:
Possibly the super-powers-from-meat angle you are explaining. 🙃
You may need a longer sample period to identify any changes happening here.

- Comment on Question about wifi-speaker for laptop, or docking station setup. 2 weeks ago:
You could start cheap and see if it covers your needs.
An Anker Soundcore 2 has decent sound quality to fill a small room.
The 2 has a 3.5mm jack that you can permanently connect (with USB adapter if required).
Can be paired with a second unit for stereo sound.
Portable in a laptop bag, and 15-20hr playtime per charge.

- Comment on Have there been any technological advances in boucey ball technology in the last decade or two? 5 weeks ago:
You can carefully crack open a golf ball to reveal a decent bouncy-ball.
From memory, I think it is a weighted core, wrapped in a long thin strand of rubber.
Glue the rubber strand to stop it unravelling and it should be good.
(Crack open carefully means with a vice and a hacksaw, rather than using any knife)

- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 2 months ago:
The FOSS app GadgetBridge, has a number of supported smartwatches.
Supported watches can sync your health, activity, GPS, heart, O2, sleep data to GadgetBridge locally on your phone, instead of sending it online to who knows where.
May need to use the watches app to set it up, but then all happens locally.
