Good thinking!

Microprose MTG came out in 1997, one year after Pokemon in 1996, but that was in Japan as Pokemon Red/Green.

Pokemon Red/Blue was released in the US in 1998.

So in the US technically, Microprose published first.

I have no idea who owns Microprose’s IP these days.

JD helps you manage slow free downloads, not have to wade through all those popups and misleading links to get through the actual download process.

If you actually have a paid user ID at the host, it can handle that too.

Try JDownloader 2.

Most countries have some kind of internet restrictions.

You can look yours up, in case you’re trying to visit torrent sites while in Denmark, for example.

It’s really frustrating to search for old hard-to-find videos, at long last find some forum post with a DDL link, then find out that the DDL was deleted by the host due to inactivity.

Nothing is wrong with archive.ph , but it’s good to have a backup in case it goes down, or if it starts failing for some reason.

Every Google account comes with 15GB of free storage.

Make as many Google accounts as you need.

Store files in Google Drive up to the limit for each account, then add links to the other GDrive archives.

Organize the files as needed.

Maybe make a free web page in Wix, Wordpress, or whatever with links to the files easy to search and find.

Pass the userid and passwords to the GDrive and webpages to whomever wants to be your successor.

You will be dependent on the generosity of Google, Wix, Wordpress or whatever to not cleanup the webpages and files due to inactivity.

So keep a backup. Torrents can be messy because they can be broken if there are no seeders.

If the content is static, then I’d recommend some older P2P filesharing like eD2K to keep one big zip/rar file backup shared among peers.

How’s the food database?

Is it static, or can one change it locally, and/or upload contributions?

I hate my Samsung S25.

The hardware is lightning fast, but this OneUi garbage fucks up multiple apps, even Voyager that I am using to type this right now.

They especially seem to fuck over the Fossify open source apps.

The redundant Samsung apps (Phone, Messenger, Calendar, Photos, App Store, et al) are garbage clones of the vanilla Google Android apps.

I never had this many problems with my Motorola, which did use vanilla Google Apps

How many people actually own shortwave-receiving radios though?

maybe? I’m not sure how this clone is supposed to work.

Meanwhile big box stores sell multigame consoles with hundreds of retro games…

They still do that, even with Nintendo games, so how do they get away with that?

And don’t they owe something to the developers of the emulators.

Darning the holes my socks. I can afford new socks, but… I’m cheap and enjoy the meditative nature of the crafting.

You are correct. Thanks.

The first 2 seasons are. I didn’t care for the third.
