“Off course!” (I want to continue in the Battle Square)

Again?!

I get your joke, but it’s even cheaper than a “Raspberry Pi”. Pi Pico, one RP2040 chip, that’s basically RPi’s new version of a Teensy. I just installed one in my GameCube to defeat its “BIOS” and boot from micro SD card :P

I swore I would never buy a car with a touchscreen, but I ended up with a Toyota with no noticable touch lag and physical controls for everything important. The steering wheel buttons also replicate all phone- and radio-related functions that are on the touchscreen.

The wife’s Honda (a few years older) has too many physical controls. For example, I’m fairly certain you could turn on heat for the driver and rear passenger-side, and air conditioning for the passenger and rear driver-side, if you really wanted to.

10th enemy has the bomb

They’re explaining how enemy’s loot isn’t totally random. If you kill nine enemies without getting hit and kill the tenth enemy with a bomb, you are guaranteed to receive more bombs from it.

“Wall warts” AKA AC-to-DC adapters do draw a small amount of electricity as long as they are plugged in. Unplug them when not in use.

As for the consoles, capacitors dry out and go bad even when not in use. If you power up the console at least once every few years, it is possible for the caps to “re-form” and stay useful before needing replacement.

Sadly, my previously working PS2 no longer outputs audio or video after being in storage for a few years. I haven’t had time to investigate it further, but I have had several other pieces of quality Japanese electronics go bad after their supercapacitors leaked.
