Don’t worry. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Personally I feel like I’m too addicted to Youtube (and Reddit, which is what brought me back here), so if I can’t block ads, perhaps I’ll be able to quit. To be honest though, even just disabling watch history and reducing subscriptions makes a massive difference to how addictive it is.

Yeah, it's probably best for most users, but I just personally prefer to treat them separately so I know what I'm dealing with.

Or mine on Vivaldi. It was showing me the notice the other week, but seems to have stopped now. Either they are now time limiting youtube before the ad blocking thing comes back, or uBlock upped the ante.

This is great, but I honestly hate the way that windows treats zips like they are just folders on your computer when they are fundamentally different, and I want to do different things with them. Sure, it's nice to be able to browse the files inside, but I can do that with 7zip.

Quake (1996). Still playing it more than 25 years later :)

Still checking Reddit a bit, but mostly because I’ve been following the war in Ukraine there a lot. Not checking other subs as much and installed Lemmy Connect, which makes Lemmy nicer to use than Reddit

Although I loved R-Type 2 as a kid, I never really got into the first one for some reason - it was probably because I didn’t have a pirated copy on my Amiga, whereas I did for R-Type 2. Both amazing games though, and I’m very glad R-Type Dimensions exists on Steam.

R-Type Delta is #1 R-Type for me though. Best level design, best music, best ships before it went completely nuts for Final.

I was exaggerating, sorry :) I don’t know what that is in today’s money and am too lazy to find out, but it’s a lot. I don’t know exactly the difference between regular home console carts like those for Megadrive and SNES, and those for the Neo-Geo, but I think the main difference was that the Neo-Geo was essentially an arcade system, so didn’t sacrifice anything for the home cartridge version. I think the price was mainly so much higher due to the comparatively huge ROM chips back when memory was rather expensive. Typical SNES games were 8 megabits I think, and the largest (according to Wikipedia) was 48. Neo Geo could go much higher and games were often 100 megabits or more.

I mostly remember seeing reviews of Neo-Geo games in CVG UK when I was a kid, and remarking at how insanely expensive they were. I think one game was something crazy like 300 pounds of 1990s money, so probably about 10,000 pounds of today’s money. When I moved to Japan I would see the same games on sale used for about 500 yen, which was about 4 pounds at the time.

Neo Geo was one of the first systems I was really into playing on emulators because of how much we all desired them as kids and because they played great even on my ancient Pentium 200 back in 2000 or so.
