Mega Man 4 is my favorite NES game. I also love Mega Man 2 and 6. 5 is fun. 3 is overrated. 1 is okay. I’ll write you a paragraph on each game if you’d like. Try The Sequel Wars!

  • I had an absolute mess of a time trying to get Unity working on Linux. Even once I got it working, it had an issue where hovering over the Burst menu would cause the whole OS to lock up and I would have to reboot. It wasn’t a good experience. I’ve never used Wine so I don’t know if that would be any better.

    When I first got it working, I wrote down the steps I took. I don’t know if this is everything I had to do or if I forgot a step, but it might be a good starting point.

    • Install Unity Hub from the Pop!_Shop. I vividly remember not being able to get it to work right any other way.
    • Install .NET and Mono via flatpak. I wrote down that it had to be version 6 of both SDKs, don’t remember why.
    • Install the flatpak version of Visual Studio Code. You can do this from the Pop!_Shop if you want.
    • Get the C# extension for VSC if you don’t have it.
    • Once in Unity, go to “Edit/Preferences/External Tools” and check “Generate .csproj files for:”
      • Embedded packages
      • Local packages
      • Registry packages
      • Git packages
      • Built-in packages
    • Click “Regenerate project files”
    • When you open a script, Unity will tell you to set “Omnisharp: Use Modern Net” to false in VSC’s settings. Do this to get code suggestions.

    I hope this helps! Welcome to Linux! If you need clarification on any of this, just ask.













  • Low profile circle pads for joysticks aren’t bad at all IMO. Some people dislike them. Depends on the person.

    I don’t think I would want a Steam Deck in this form factor. The current Deck honestly feels like the perfect size for me. Not too big to be unruly, not too small to be uncomfortable. I totally understand the appeal of a pocketable device, but I’ve come to realize that I really just don’t have a need for a device that portable and would rather have something bigger. A device this small wouldn’t have the same number of inputs and would greatly compromise on comfort. That’s mostly a me thing, though. Plenty of people want smaller handhelds, so a smaller handheld PC could probably find an audience.

    I would love an Android smartphone that’s like this. Not a gaming-centric device like a Retroid Pocket, but something that could be my daily driver smartphone while also offering physical controls for a quality gaming experience. Basically the Xperia Play, but modern. It would be far less cumbersome than carrying around a gaming device in addition to my phone, making it much more practical for me.





  • I’ve loved this Booster Course Pass. It’s been so fun being able to look forward to new waves of content for MK8DX. The majority of the new tracks have been very fun to play on. They continued to surprise me by doing a lot more than courses, too. Characters, options, small features, and even balance tweaks!

    Sure, it wasn’t all perfect. Sure, all of the tracks are just brought over from Tour and not remixed the same way the base game remixed its retro offerings. Sure, Wave 1 looked like it was made in Roblox. But overall, I think the good far outweighs the bad. This DLC has been awesome. I’m honestly going to miss it. But hey, Wave 6 looks fantastic, so we’re ending the BCP with a bang.
