If I had more physical GB/GBA carts I’d pull the trigger. But while I have a Steam Deck and plenty of other devices with good emulation, I can’t justify $250+ for a device to play retro games!

Quick personal note on the U4T’s, after about a year, I’ve had multiple fail on me, they’ll require multiple taps to work. I’m going to look for a new tactile switch soon.

Thank you! This is super helpful to know, I’ve got “Wait!” on, it’s the knowing “who can do what when” that I’m not in the “flow” of yet, but I’m sure it’ll click soon.

I’ve avoided guides outside of getting stuck (didn’t see the Arris Dome ladder and had to look it up) and I’d like to keep it that way outside of unlocking some cool weapons/items later.

Any recommendations on when I should focus on grinding and what special mid/late game items I should look up guides for? I’m about to go to Site 32 and can’t decide if I should be grinding much or just pushing through with the story. Good call on the chests, but I doubt I’ll be able to stay on top of remembering that!

DAMN, hella amazing memories you are sharing! Also wanted to give Earthbound a go as well.

Don’t know yet, probably gonna see how this run goes. I’m hoping it sinks its teeth into me and I want to play multiple runs!

[–] robalees@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Dope! I didn’t even think of that! Thank you

First time playing Chrono Trigger, on Steam Deck (Steam version not emulated, I know! I know!). I’m enjoying it although I’m suffering from early RPG slowness and trying to push through. Hoping the Steam version holds out, seems like every update of Proton is nerve wracking. Love the music and art style. I do feel like I lose doors or POIs easily and I need to get better/quicker with the battle UI.

 

I rock a 60% which I love, but I’m learning blender and coding, lack of numpad has gotten frustrating.

Anyone got any macro pad suggestions either available now or in GB/IC?

Preferably a hot swap! Open to different sizes and formats. Was tempted by the Piketea standing desk mounted macro pad, but they appear to be sold out.

I’ve been trying to be a little more responsible with plastics and reducing waste. I’ve been using hemp wick with a lighter case called a Hemplight which I’ve enjoyed. I used the BIC ones and then moved to Clipper so I could refill it.

I’m going to sound old, but I don’t remember Clippers having the hexagonal spark wheel. I’ve tried to stay on top of butane and flint, but they are so difficult to light after they’ve been used for a while, got to a point where I got a callous on my index finger trying to get that shit to light. Picked up a button ignition one, with a longer ignition (candle lighter like) and it’s a pain in the ass to use with the hemp wick, finger just slipped and sliced open on the plastic button 😐 trying to determine if the Jet Flame ones will fit the hemplight case.

All of this to say… how does the community light up your flower?

I primarily use a bong, I’d like to use the hemp wick still and it needs to be easy to put out.

Do you see any value in using hemp wick versus direct flame from butane?

Any suggestions and general discussion appreciated!

P.S. not an ad for Clipper or Hemplight, if anything I’m not recommending them. Also I know dry herb vaping is better for me, for some reason my body reacts badly to vaping. I’ve tried multiple vapes, always messes my mouth up unfortunately.

EDIT: ended up picking up a Zippo dual flame butane insert, going to use my old red Zippo case and once the hinge fails I’ll buy a new red matte Zippo and just have multiple inserts 🙄😑😐 I’ve wrapped hemp wick around my Zippo case and gonna try that for a while, anyone got any tips for using hemp wick wrapped Zippos, I’m all ears!

Flying to Greece this weekend and it’s my first flight with my OG Steam Deck.

Got Balatro, Vampire Survivors and Chrono Trigger (first play through) loaded up, might also play some RimWorld if I can handle the controls.

I’m tempted by Hades while it’s on sale and I love Dunkey, so Animal Well is also tempting.

What suggestions can y’all make?

Edit: thank you everyone! Went for Hades due to the sale and I love a good rougelike game! Wishlisted a bunch of suggestions and keeping an eye out for a Midnight Suns sale.

 

Stuck at work today, wanted to get a thread going with the community and see how it’s performing.

Personally I’ve been unable to complete a Difficulty 7 operation without a hard crash. Really hope this has resolved it!

 

I got the HG 1/144 GM (Shoulder Cannon Equipped/Missile Pod Equipped) and I’m super excited to build it!

My experience with water transfer decals is lacking, I did some on my Guncannon and you can see an edge on one of the larger leg decals.

Any tips/tools/recommendations to help me make the decals look as clean as possible?

I’ve got tweezers and a craft knife, not sure what tools would help, I’ve seen those little sponge tools and decal fluid. I’ve tried different soaking times and suspect I was impatient. Honestly the whole process was pretty fiddly and stressful and this dude has WAY MORE TO DO!

 

First off, thank you to @tst123@lemmy.world for the initial help regarding the API in my original post

I’ve managed to use the Sheets API to pull in JSON of my spreadsheet. I am now struggling to pair the data to use in cards on my front end.

Here is my code

const API_KEY = "APIKEY";
const CLIENT_ID = "ID";
const HEADERS_ID = "tab1!A2:CE2";
const VALUES_ID = "tab1!A3:CE";
const URL = `https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${CLIENT_ID}/values:batchGet?ranges=${HEADERS_ID}&ranges=${VALUES_ID}&key=${API_KEY}`;

async function getData() {
  const RESPONSE = await fetch(URL);

  const DATA = await RESPONSE.json();

  const COCKTAILHEADERS = DATA.valueRanges[0];
  const COCKTAILHEADERSOBJ = Object.assign({}, COCKTAILHEADERS.values[0]);
  const COCKTAILVALUES = DATA.valueRanges[1];
  const COCKTAILVALUESOBJ = Object.assign({}, COCKTAILVALUES.values);

  // console.log(DATA);
  // console.log(COCKTAILHEADERS.values[0]);
  console.log(COCKTAILHEADERSOBJ);
  // console.log(COCKTAILVALUES.values);
  console.log(COCKTAILVALUESOBJ);
}

getData(); 

My spreadsheet is set up like this…

  • ROW 1 = Headers for cocktail name in column A and ingredients in B through CE
  • All other ROWs = Column A is the cocktail name and B through CE is the measurement

When I log COCKTAILHEADERSOBJ I get an object with each ingredient name in an array and when I log COCKTAILVALUESOBJ I get an object with nested arrays, each array has the name and the measurement. If the drink does not contain the ingredient, I have an empty string.

Example of COCKTAILHEADERSOBJ
[0] = Cocktail Name
[1] = Lime
[2] = Tequila

Example of COCKTAILVALUESOBJ
[0]
   [0] = Margarita
   [1] = 1oz
   [2] =  2oz
[1]
   [0] = Old Fashioned
   [1] = 0oz
   [2] = 0oz

My goal is to have an object for each cocktail that looks like this

  "drinks": [
    {
      "cocktail name": "Margarita",
      "lime": 1,
      "tequila": 2
    }
]

If the value is zero, I don’t want the ingredient added to the new object for that drink.

Any suggestions on how I can loop through each item in COCKTAILVALUESOBJ and assign the correct COCKTAILHEADERSOBJ label to it so I can make a new object with each drinks recipe and then pull that new object into the DOM?

Feels like I should be able to use Array Map to get them into a single object, but I’m a little lost on how to do it with 2 objects.

Still incredibly new to JS and struggling with tutorials, hoping this project helps me learn and I appreciate any advice to help me search out the answer.

 

I’ve been learning frontend on and off for a few years and I keep trying to find a good project to help further my knowledge. My amazing wife created a Google Sheets database of cocktails we learnt to make over the pandemic. Columns are ingredients and rows are measurements in ounces.

I’d love to create and self-host a frontend for this data. Trying to use the Sheets app on our phones has driven us to drink (😉).

I have a server running OMV and Docker, I’d like to host a searchable webpage on my network (maybe one day host it externally) and utilize the data in this Sheets doc.

My Google-Fu is failing me, I don’t know what to search to make a start. Someone on Reddit suggested just using the Sheets doc and doing an API call to that file. I’m not opposed, I’m also happy to look into some sort of database software to broaden my skills (MongoDB etc).

Any suggestions or tutorial recommendations to help me create a searchable frontend using the data in my Sheets doc?
