im not supposed to be here but i need to warn people about something re: tetris, FPGA and the military industrial complex
okay so some of you might have seen that Palmer Luckey has launched his own Gameboy clone, an FPGA console called the ModRetro Chromatic. you may remember another FPGA Gameboy, the Analogue Pocket, a console i own and greatly enjoy and endorse.
for those who dont know, Palmer Luckey (in increasing badness):
at one point worked for Facebook
donates vast sums of money to Trump
founded Anduril, a war drone company
that alone should be reason enough to never touch this thing.
unfortunately, the thing also includes an officially licensed Tetris game. so i wanted to provide some alternatives to people who were interested in playing a "modern" tetris on a portable device. dont even pirate the rom of it, play these instead.
first off, you dont need an FPGA like this or the Analogue Pocket, you can get a comfy emulator device for a sixth of the cost that supports more consoles. dont spend money you dont have.
the best gameboy tetris is the homebrew clone Apotris. it is by far the most extensive in feature set and i play it daily. i dont care for the default visual settings but the customization is incredible. https://akouzoukos.com/apotris
if you have a soft spot for the old gameboy tetris of yore, theres Rosy Retrospection, a mod that brings several modern conveniences while keeping the original spirit. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5813/
it also has a color version. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/8259/
please do not give this monster money, and do not give his tetris the time of day. fan projects deserve your attention more than a warmonger's vanity project.

White I found the black comedic humor effective, consider it a warning if you have a non-Enterprise VMware use case (e.g. Fusion for personal use) and/or a low bullshit tolerance:

I’m making a new religion that turns libraries into religious institutions and our most holy practice is going to the library and reading books. On the weekend we all get together and read silently together at the library. Our holy leaders are our librarians as they are guides to knowledge.
This way it makes it significantly harder to defund libraries. 😈
URGENT! PLEASE help moo with its monthly food and bills! it's disabled and has been unable to find a job for years. it needs all the help it can get while stuck in a housing situation where people steal its food. anything helps! DUE TOMORROW!
