Not sure how to do this. My partner and light of 19 years, @mitzistarkweather.bsky.social has been diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer.
We are hopeful that modern treatment can give her many more years of changing the world.
If you’re able, we could use your help.

Feeling burnt out lately after an insane amount of life change. Asked my partner for a weekend off so I could start the new year with a little retreat.
“Gonna spend some time with those games you bought on the Winter Sale?”
“Nah, I’ve got something else in mind.”

Reached into the bottom of this box looking for something and from physical touch alone immediately said to myself “That’s not it. Those are the RCA ends of an SNES composite cable.”
…and then thought to myself, why the hell do I know that??

Setting aside how horrible and shitty this is.
I wonder what impact this will have on games in general. Will this make current consoles a more appealing prospect? Will targeting Series S/Switch 2 specs become more common? Will cheap, Chinese computers and devices become more common?

Bold of the tech industry to believe that if they move to subscription models and make devices prohibitively expensive to own that I won’t simply play my Neo Geo Pocket Color and Nintendo Wii for the rest of my life.

The first Phantasy Star made its debut 38 years ago (in 1987) on the Sega Master System!🪐 As far as retro RPGs go, Phantasy Star was always a little ahead of the curve; with cool sci-fi worlds, a good plot, and a cute transforming alien cat.
