We just gonna ignore the turd in the background?
I'm out of the loop. What happened to libgen?
Many have mentioned org-mode. I used it for years but have moved on to todo.txt and markdown. I use syncthing to keep notes up to date on my phone and computer. I edit with whatever is available on my desktop and I use markor notes on my phone.
I think this setup only lacks the recurring tasks option. I think org-mode can do that but I use my calendar for that.
This is a highly personal topic so I'd suggest trying as many things as you can. Something will stick eventually.

Great idea re: the graphene forums, thanks so much!
choosing hardware: pixel fold or pixel tablet
I currently use a Pixel 7 Pro with GrapheneOS and I really enjoy the experience. I have a Surface Pro 7+ with Linux on it that I use from the couch. It's a bit bulky and I've found myself gravitating more to the Android UI anyhow. I'm looking into either getting the Pixel Fold or the Pixel Tablet, both of which are supported by GrapheneOS.
The bulk of my usage would be mobile games (including emulation through Lemuroid), books and magazines through Libby/Librera, and the occasional video content. I'd like to bring it with me on the go.
I was initially going to get a tablet and dock but the fold looked interesting. My reservations about the fold are the internal screen life and how apps behave on the internal screens. Surely being a moving part is going to decrease its lifespan, plus screen protectors and cases seem like they would be difficult. Are there cases for those phones? I always put a screen protector and case on my devices. How do apps behave in full screen on the fold? Do they have black bars if it's not big enough or does it get stuck to one side?
Thanks!
I grabbed the free copy but for whatever reason Heroic Launcher is busted for me. I have this downloaded on my Xbox and it's on my wishlist. I'll likely buy it soon. It looks so good and I like a lot of Konami's games.
This was my experience on the Xbox. Absolutely loved the campaign. Could not get a feel for how to survive mp after a few hours. There was a prolonged respawn and die nearly immediately loop. I uninstalled it after I got what I could from the campaign.
Thanks so much for the screenshot!
Do emulators like lemuroid take up the whole screen on the inside of the fold?
I was debating on a tablet or the pixel fold and I saw a video where it showed that the inside screen was basically two screens and man apps just displayed in the middle with black borders on either side.
I do because I just don't want all that stuff around. Save states are also a blessing for folks like me with endless skill issues.
This looks great. Added it to my steam wishlist. It would be cool if they make a ROM available.
It looks like they might release a cartridge. If they do, I might consider one of the hyperkin consoles. Homebrew games like this would be an excellent reason to have one.
Quick followup, I just played part of the Youkai Rampage demo from Steam and it was a pretty good experience. I seem to remember the enemies being a little more vivid on the PS4 but the controls feel responsive. The only issue I had was the first boss:
spoiler
it seems to be the same boss from the first game.
I quit playing after that because I ran out of time. I'll continue to work through the demo and see how I like it before I decide to make a purchase. I do wish it were available on the Xbox. I have Soul Eater on my PS4 but I play the Xbox much more often.
Shikhondo Series Games?
Is anyone aware of a list of the Shikhondo games? I was familiar with Soul Eater but today I found this trailer for Red Purgatory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_sb_PpI-eE
I also found a Steam release from this April for Youkai Rampage, which I didn't know existed: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2712480/Shikhondo_Youkai_Rampage/
Has DeerFarm produced more in the series? It's such a unique take on the genre.
Konami Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection for Xbox
8 KONAMI arcade classics of the 80s, from Nemesis to TwinBee. Including bonus eBook packed with new information never before revealed to the public
Gradius and Life Force are included in this collection and the included "book" is good. It's neat seeing minor differences between the Japanese and International versions as well. This plays very well with the console streaming feature and one of those controllers that clamp onto the phone. Solid ports.
ACA NEOGEO for Android
SNK has several neo geo games for sale in the Play store. At about $4 USD, they're pretty expensive but they seem to work OK. Pulstar and Blazing Star are available. I purchased Pulstar and the controller support is great. Its a pretty good experience if you don't normally use something like Lemuroid.
Pi-hole on an ancient pi zero w.
I've got a little MSI box with 16GB of RAM, 500GB SSD, and a quad core i3 running Proxmox. Home Assistant is in its own VM, I have a VM for a bastion host/jump box of sorts for a client's network (yes, I know VPNs exist), and then a VM running a few Docker containers: CheckMK, Dozzle, Uptime Kuma, and The TP-Link Omada Controller software. I intend to migrate those to Podman eventually.
On my desktop in Podman, I'm running Dashy, Redlib, and Dozzle regularly. Sometimes I run other services but those are pretty persistent. I use Podman on my local machine for my development work and it's just handy to have Redlib and Dashy right here.
I tend to interact with things via SSH unless it's a webshit.
How long before Nintendo slaps a DMCA on this one?
This looks great! I have definitely not played enough RSG so maybe I'll give this a go. I've sunk more hours into ikaruga.
On android, lemuroid is pretty good for this sort of thing and you can change the arrangement of your nds/3ds screens.
