I play the video game Stray, while telling stories about cats.

Corrections / Clarifications:

• I conflated two things - Slylock Fox and Sly Cooper. It was Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus.

• Controllers work better when charged. I kept having issues with mine because it was almost dead and kept turning off. Then I plugged it in and edited out all that fail, but I still make reference to it in the commentary.

with special guest, Miles!

Also in this episode:

• Max and Tony visit.
• Matt makes a bunch of Dad jokes.

Corrections / Clarifications:

• Shredder’s real name is Oroku Saki, not Hiroku Saki

• Yes, they did spell “dimension” wrong in the epilogue - it’s spelled as “dimention” there. According to Interwebs, this a common misspelling.

• There are some quiet segments with audio drops, making it sound “choppy”, because I had my noise gate set wrong. My apologies, but I’m still learning this audio stuff. I tried to reconstruct it. Hopefully, it’s doesn’t distract from your listening too much.

We start by disassembling a MiSTer FGPA retro console, installing a second RAM module, reassembling and testing it. Then I give a tour of its features, and finish by booting up the NES core and playing some games - Gauntlet II, Home Alone 1, Home Alone 2, Karnov

Corrections:

1. I say that the board is fabricated by Intel. This is incorrect. It’s made by Terasic. The FPGA is an Altera part, and Altera was owned by Intel, until 2024 (I did not know that it was no longer owned by Intel until I looked it up when writing up this note).
