folks have a perception that coding and hacking is a lot of moving and typing but a lot of it is looking and squinting at a screen while being very confused

i tried to use one of those scraper services to fill in the gaps in the metadata and it just plain got a lot of things wrong like labelling 5 different megaman games all as "Mega Man 2". so now i have to go into some xml files and manually fix it all i guess........

I bought the bundle with an SD card full of roms both cos i'm lazy and like to see what they include. It's kind of a mess though with a lot of different sets that make no sense, inconsistent metadata/images etc. also there are no mario or pokemon games because they are cowards

She pow on my kiddy til I *EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER*

I've been manually crossposting all that pocket stuff today & it's making me think I should maybe set up something automated, if that's even possible with the current state of ex-twitter...
I didn't want to do that before because I thought I'd probably only be active on one site & didn't want to be firing off auto posts to an account I never check.
But I'm now finding myself active on both and really if I have something interesting/stupid to post I prob do want to share it with both audiences
