  • The numbers are are probably scene numbers. Most of the ROMs floating around the internet come from various scene groups. Many older groups would number their ROM dumps (I assume in the order that they released them). Additionally, different groups often had different numbering systems. From what I understand it’s a practice that’s mostly fallen into disuse since it doesn’t really help.





  • The only immutable distro I’ve tried is Bazzite. It’s gaming-oriented, but can work well as a desktop. It also does offer a KDE edition, but for some reason they intentionally ship with some GNOME programs instead of the KDE ones. For example, a fresh KDE edition installation includes Ptyxis instead of Konsole.

    Also, DistroWatch’s search has the option to only show immutable distros. It’s under the Distribution Category option. I figure that might help you find a few more options.

    These days CRTs do still have the niche of being better for retro gaming. Modern televisions process the image and that adds frames of visual lag between when a button is pressed and when the action is displayed. Since many games require precise inputs this can make a significant difference in how well a game plays. There are ways to compensate for this with scalers (RetroTINK, OSSC, Morph 4K), but they aren’t cheap (like $400+) There’s also the fact that many newer televisions just don’t have compatible inputs for older consoles and cheap converters or adapters often add even more lag.



  • You had noticeable side effects from Adderall, so the doctor is (probably) being cautious with the Vyvanse dosage to let you get used to it before upping it.

    Many years ago there was a period (a couple months) where I couldn’t get my Vyvanse prescription filled. I had been gradually upped to a pretty high dose at the time (like 60 or 70 mg). When I was finally able to resume taking it I had major side effects since I was coming in from nothing. For days I had a migraine and the felt like I was walking on jelly.



  • How about this gem from their localization of Vay:

    In the US version, Sirufa’s dialogue has been rewritten. Now, her wind powers are due to a bet she lost with an unexplained “Thaldar”, as a result of which she “received the curse of eternal seimic flatulence.” This is then used to create a mechanic whereby, if Sirufa’s teleportation is used without having all party members equipped with “Filtration Masks”, the unequipped members will be “overcome by the noxious fumes” and remove the rest of the party’s masks before dying, causing an instant game over.
