    Usually the smaller, the better for me! But it seems like my eyes aren't going to agree with me for much longer. I did mitigate the issue somewhat by enlarging the picture on my emulation handheld. Much more playable now. Yeah, had never heard of the other one I linked! Speaking of though...

    I've been thinking about playing the DOS version now, actually. Just because even on the bigger Vita screen, it still seems small... Would this be the Apple II version? https://archive.org/details/wozaday_Lemmings Seems different...

    I just switched to using my PS Vita instead, since it's significantly larger. The upscaled resolution looks a little crunchy, but everything still plays just fine, so I'll probably just stick to that for now.

    Yeah, I just have FOMO is all. I don't think 64Gb for my laptop is absolutely necessary, it just would be nice to increase the conversation length of my local LLM, but other than that, I think the benefits would be largely nil. Plus, I am absolutely spoiled. I ought to just appreciate what I...

    Character Height. When it's an option, how tall or short do you make your character? And any other character height related thoughts...

    I actually don't pay much attention to character looks or anything in any given game. I kind of just change a few settings randomly and then go with it, because I'm so rarely going to actually look at my character. Maybe if it had more gameplay implications I might pay more attention to it, but...

    Seen actually quite a few cheaper laptops out there with 64Gb that I could do the old switcharoo with, but I also don't want another entire machine to faff with or try to resell. The other one I bought and had to send back was a bit of an impulse purchase anyway, so I need to just hold myself...

    I feel like I might be starting to feel my age. I started playing Lemmings on the PSP, first via an emulator and next on my PSP Go. The screen size on both is roughly 3.6" and 3.8" respectively and I gotta say, I'm struggling to really enjoy it because everything is so small. I'm not sure if...

    1000% agree with this statement.

    You aren't alone. Though I'm getting better at letting people know what I need and want, rather than just rolling over like I might have 20-years ago. My family is actually significantly worse at that than I am now. Auckland is a pretty cool place. In 2015 we visited my Sister-In-Law who...

    Alright @Frindis, I had a go Turned out my frozen mixed berries were blackberries, raspberries and blueberries, so I just went with it. The sauce ended-up super sweet, so I balanced that by not overly sweetening my whipped cream. Mixed that with my few day old rice pudding and the results...

    Setup for RedM

    As far as an eGPU, I definitely wouldn't recommend it. It's a nice way to add some umph to a laptop, but generally is going to be pretty inferior to a laptop with a proper GPU in it. It'll run solidly faster if you connect it to an external monitor, versus piping back into the built in monitor...

    Rest assured, I will be trying it out. I have the rice pudding already made and I have heavy whipping cream; my only issue is that I have some frozen berries, but they're a mix of strawberry, raspberry and blueberry, so not exactly right, but I'll probably either do it anyway just to experiment...

    Hey now, you're treading dangerous ground. I also just bought a couple other games along with Grounded, but let's not mention it.

    You know, for as much crap as Copilot gets, I think it's pretty decent as far as LLMs go. I used it to to help troubleshoot an issue with my RC car; I'm not entirely sure if it was correct (As I haven't bought the part I need yet), but the suggestion it made seems pretty plausible to me, given...

    LLMs are useful, but so weird. I was messing around with my local instance of QWEN the other day and asked it when Hollow Knight released. Here's a little edited snapshot of our conversation, my questions in Bold. Keep in mind QWEN is a few months out of date as a model: Would you believe me...
