Not remotely the same genre, but my vote for perfect arcade game is Time Crisis 2.

Paul Craig’s gonna be the LHW champ by the end of the year.

Data Discs is also on Bandcamp, and they have some great retro soundtracks too, including the Streets of Rage soundtracks and Revenge of Shinobi — I believe they worked with Yuzo Koshiro to get the original music files so they sound PRISTINE.

The only problem I’ve had with them is that they leave a little grid mark on your hands after a while, but they’re solid for flat keyboards.

Now we have a screenshot of Kevtris saying there were major revisions inside after all: https://twitter.com/FBXGargoyle/status/1672377990452498432?s=20

Some folks were saying their systems turned up earlier than expected? Maybe Analogue just wasn’t ready, but it does seem like they at the very least messed up by not telling everyone “hey there were major revisions inside after all”

You could try using conical rubber bumpers to create an angle, or I’ve seen adhesive laptop stands that folks have used for tenting keyboards that I wonder if they would work for wrist rests too.

Oh nice. Someone else suggested socks, which does feel ridiculous but hey, if you're using an ergo keyboard you're past that point.

Yeah, I use my Mac’s keyboard often enough without issue. Just takes some time as you are developing that new ergo memory.

And for anyone that hasn’t listened to An Abstract Illusion…go do that

You’ll be fine. Just be patient as your muscle memory adapts.

I’d be interested to see it. Guess we won’t see much more of him at LHW if he says the cut’s getting tougher?

Look, you gotta teach the kids while they're young to go hard in the paint.

It came out last week if you missed it!

Here to also say that Lor is great. Definitely gonna check out Others by No One based on this.

I’m using this Sabrent one, and so far it’s worked without any issues. It’s a bit more expensive than other solutions, but it has a card reader and extra USB input.

Honestly, Sabrent is my go-to for USB stuff, I’ve had nothing but good experiences.

So I’ve got a mediocre mini PC that I’m using as a NAS with a USB RAID1 enclosure after my NAS bit the dust. It’s running the following:

• Network file sharing
• Pi-hole
• Tailscale
• Navidrome
• Logitech Media Server

And then I’ve got a RPi4 also running Tailscale, a backup Pi-Hole, and something called mlbserver which lets me access mlb.tv streams (legally) as m3u8 playlists and avoid the mediocre mlb apps.

RetroRGB I believe will post about new games for old systems sometimes.

Also Yuzo Koshiro is working on a new shmup for the Genesis that he’s posting about on his Twitter regularly.

This band really took a leap forward on Glacial Domination, would love to see them integrate the synth stuff in their sound more too.
