Heated exchanges broke out in Parliament between Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and far-right leader Marine Le Pen, following Emmanuel Macron's statement that sending Western troops to Ukraine should 'not be ruled out.'

Valdez, Alaska, could follow the likes of Riverside, Iowa, and Bloomington, Indiana, in granting a future Star Trek citizen their own memorial.
During Covid lots of sorts were broadcast without any spectators. I found that it increased my viewing pleasure. No screaming crowds trying to make the most noise with drums (soccer), no altercations, no people throwing things or making annoying noices (MMA), no crazy people next to the road pushing cyclists.
Just the people doing the sport, I can hear them shout, swear and get punched. I can see bike racing without fear a crazy fan will jump in front of the pack for a photo for their grandma.
I don't need an audience to get hyped or to distract everybody with jeers and racist shouting. For me the fans are the worst part of the sport. I don't enjoy watching them, I want to see the athletes doing their thing.

This week’s topic is emulators, by request of u/AlmightySnoo. As emulators could not be loaded on iPhones without jumping through many hoops, Android remains the preferred OS for emulation on smartphones. (Reminder, rule 2 is in effect, so please don’t give out links to ROM sites.) Now, as we all know, the mobile gaming landscape in 2023 is not great exactly. Most of the games in twr Play Store are designed for frustration instead of fun, littered with microtransactions, timegating, and of course, ads. Even the good games have terrible monitization practices, and there are a lot more bad games than good. But emulated games are a way to get away from that, and let us remember a time when games on the go are simply games that are fun and nothing else, the nights when you are sitting in the backseat of your parents car with only the glow of your GameBoy and the passing streetlight as you play Pokemon. Nostalgia from a time when we didn’t have grownup things to worry about. But of course, many emulators didn’t only aim to “emulate” the original console, but to enhance them into the modern age: Save states, rewind, enhanced graphics, texture replacements, easy cheats, touchscreen and gamepads. Things we could only dream of as kids are now reality. So, please share your experiences with emulation on Android and give out some cool tips and tricks here. (A special shoutout to RetroArch for having the (dis)honor of staying as one of the most frustrating software that I have ever used.)
