I’ve lived & traveled all over the US. Here are some quick thoughts on random cities:
Utica, NY - Shithole
Rock Springs, WY - Beautiful mountain views, clean air, loads of restaurants
Sisters, OR - Cute, picturesque downtown. Surrounded by Oregon’s iconic forests and of course the 3 Sisters Mountains
Shiprock, NM - Would be a nice town in a place with stunning desert views if it weren’t for the ever-present and soul crushing levels of poverty & homelessness
Springfield, MA - meh

the MK ports to Game Boy generally got better over time. MK1 was just awful but parts 2 and 3 were playable/ borderline respectable.

#Odysee brought back their automatic #YouTube sync tool as a standalone app after YouTube broke the automatic sync ability on their end. The new app works on Windows, Linux and Mac. :odysee:
You install the app locally and sign in. It then detects when new content is uploaded to YouTube and it auto-uploads the same content to Odysee. A true "set it and forget it" solution for people that don't want to upload the same content manually to both places.

You may have noticed some more slight improvements to the visual elements of Retro Gaiden. The improvements are subtle but are really smooth. Thanks to @npub1pjm…tvfk for one of the ideas.

the desktop background needs to be a seamless pattern to fit a variety of window sizes and screen resolutions. It also has to look good when scrolling. With that being said, the options are more limiting. Sure, I could put an awesome picture for the background but it may not look good or be a good fit for all users. With that being said, I’m always brainstorming about how to further improve the visual experience here :guilded_salute:
