This month’s retro news round up includes the National Museum of Play needing some help, a new module for the Polymega, and the discovery of possibly the rarest commercially released game ever? There was only one copy! And yes that is a very excited baby you can hear in the background on a couple of occasions. Sorry about that.

"Welcome back, ROM readers! Or maybe you should be welcoming me back? How does this work when I took an extra week off due to the flurry of gaming news last weekend? Maybe we each bust out a "nice to see you again" and get down to business.

This week's main focus is a bit different than usual — a personal reaction to a story I saw more than a week ago that'd been eating at me ever since. There's been a good bit of emulation news since last issue, but this felt like a more important topic to me than an extremely questionable PS3 Android emulator that somehow made its way onto the Play store (maybe I'll revisit this one next issue)."

cont. to read via link.

I'm absolutely not a pro at this. Post your plants!

OP pic is Chinese rhubarb to maybe replace my old plant, russet potatoes that were sprouting on the counter, wild strawberries native to AB I often see in our river valley, asparagus (cut down once already), chives. Further back box is next week's problem.

Everything under the evergreens (out of frame directly behind the fence) suffers and this old planter the old owners put in is rotting, so last year for this struggling stuff except the Honeyberry bush which I need to move anyways. It's big enough to survive in the lawn now. Rhubarb, saskatoons, raspberries don't do well in here. I'll salvage what I can. Smashy'n clover next year. Then new half buried kiddie pools with the bottoms cut out "planters" elsewhere away from those trees is the plan. Classy! I'll do neon green with the dinosaur pattern.

New cherry tree because my old one is about at the end of its expected lifespan and it's showing. I'll pretty up its space if it survives the winter.

Same deal here, but these are an experiment to see if these "CANADIAN HARDY -TAYLOR" Paw Paw (Michigan Banana is another name) trees from Quebec's Green Barn Nursery can really survive zone 3b. They'll get the burlap sacks over winter. Has anyone eaten these fruits before on Lemmy? Curious. Nobody has heard of them locally here I've talked to so far. https://www.greenbarnnursery.ca/products/paw-paw-taylor

The row will hopefully be purple and orange goth-ish Sunflowers. Or "Chocolate" I guess.

The grass mostly died beside the pine tree, so I'm trying clover. It uh, yeah it's thriving. I'll dig out more of the damned grass later. Very good result it'll be lower maintenance now.

Just a quick night shot from a night walk with a Pixel 8, they're rarely this bright in the city.

Hello! Apologies for the late issue, but this story came together last minute, on account of capital-L Life, and also because the subject is developing fast. Hopefully it's worth the wait! I've got an exclusive interview for you on a shit-hot community project to resurrect a FromSoftware game that was criminally underappreciated in its day. I mean, that's practically all FromSoftware games, but this one was just born in the wrong time and place — I think it would be a substantial hit on Steam in the year 2025.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, while also being behind. So let's jump right into it! It's big stompy robot time."

Bonus cat:

Or alternative ideas. If not, then RCA box with grounding screws. They exist on Amazon, but I see reviews about bad signal noise/poorly made :(

Figured I'd ask to find someone who already knows of a good enough product.

The idea is to have two record players set up going to my single Receiver input.

Over the last week a number of previously undumped JAKKS Pacific Plug and Play units have been dumped by TeamEurope the same techniques developed a few months ago. These will be supported in the next version of MAME
