there is a startlingly small amount of emus in the emulation community

Another game I've been wanting to play since the '90s is a Game Boy game called "Catrap," a puzzle platformer. It was released in Japan as "Pitman," but c'mon, "Catrap" is a cooler name.

As little-known as the game is, I'm surprised it actually has fan art: deviantart.com/horriblepencili

I'm playing it as Catgirl instead of Catboy because of course I am. :3

unix manpage venting 

... Why do you go through the trouble of writing documentation fitting perfectly into the help manual system that's been around literally my whole entire life plus a few days, then just landfill it in the docs directory instead?

The most excellent and lamentable tragedy of Flat UI Design, in two acts.

I kept expecting the clip to end with Kermit the Frog exclaiming in the robotic Gorf voice, "Prepare yourself for annihilation, space cadet!" Alas, I don't have a clean sample or the video editing skills.

I went looking to see if anyone made a bad movie based on the arcade game Gorf, & I found something better: youtu.be/fKNJLeVncug

I don't follow or boost image bots that don't source (bonus: and credit) the images they post, and neither should you.

when I have to stop & look whether it's the yuri bot or catgirl bot that posted the cute girls with cute girls, it's a good day.

@climagic another great part of documentation is this section in the xorg.conf manpage.

... Is some of the delay from python 3 itself?

Consecutive runs on the same source file with rst2html from py27-docutils:

txt2tags is much simpler in structure while still being complete enough for my needs. Also, I don't have to provide a dummy template to get just an (X)HTML fragment out of it. Best of all, its only dependency is python.

But it has 2 drawbacks: I can't specify image attributes like dimensions, which means the page could shift while loading; & it depends on python 2, not python 3.

retro handheld game (cw for just a bit big) 

I took the Arcade Classics Centipede box apart enough to see what's inside it. It looks like a nintendo-on-chip board with all the interface pads directly soldered to everything else.

I couldn't lift the plastic display bracket out without risking breaking the plastic frame, & I probably broke one of the frame's plastic screw threads putting it back together.

An RPi would be a tight fit, unless it's a 0 or 0W.
