  • It’s fantastic, at least for me. Never had original hardware from the N64 generation, and I’ve always wanted to collect retro games, and the Analogue 3D has been an easy way to get in.

    Games play flawessly, and it has really good CRT filters when playing on a 4K TV. It’s not required, but for me it adds a lot.

    Latest updates added save states, which helps in some games, but I prefer to play them as originally intended.

    And of course, I’m having A LOT of fun discovering games. That’s been my great gaming experience of this year, discovered Extreme-G and it’s sequel and got into futuristic racing games, beat archaic but interesting games like Mission: Impossible, and strange and unexpected ports like Rainbow Six for the N64.

    Huge highlight for Shadowman. I knew about the remake, but I just waited for playing the original N64 cartridge and beat it. I was impressed by it.








  • What I like about it is that I don’t need to delve into second hand shopping to get some old classic games.

    I’ve always wanted to get into getting retro games, and I would get different consoles, but as a matter of money and space I’ve found it difficult unless I get into only one system, and I find the evercade as a compromise for getting a variety of collections from different systems.

    Of course, emulating ROMs would give almost the same experience, but the physical releases with their little manual got me.








  • Curiosity. It began while trying to play around with programming, and finding a lot of talk and resources about Linux, and then trying it. 3 broken Debian installations just for messing around, then Ubuntu as a more permanent install, all of this alongside Windows.

    Then I began using less and less Windows until I just deleted the Windows partition because I needed more space.


  • The behaviour you mention is from npm install, which will put the same exact version from the package-lock.json, if present. If not it will act as an npm update.

    npm update will always update, and rewrite the package-lock.json file with the latest version available that complies with the restrictions defined on the package.json.

    I may be wrong but, I think the difference may be that python only has the behaviour that package-lock.json offer, but not the package.json, which allows the developer to put constraints on which is the max/min version allowed to install.
