Hah! Thanks for the recommendation. I hope you remember the other one too.

Yep. On the emulators now it is instant. I recently stayed at an airbnb with an nes and played with my kids. The lag is definately there. Even my kids were falling off stuff shouting that they pushed the jump button.

I distinctly remember mario bros on the nes. There was like a 1/3second latency between pressing the button and mario jumping. You had to time your jumps (especially when running) further back than you'd expect to compensate. You just kinda got used to it after a while.

This is the answer here. If OP has any techy friends they should tell them. I have a dozen HDDs and SSDs and RAM of varying sizes lying around. Most of them even work.

I tend to canabalize parts as computers pass through my hands. I frequently upgrade family member's laptops for them. They buy the parts and I provide the labor of cloning windows and putting in the parts. Often the brand new (but smaller) ram/ssd are unwanted.

Ah, I tried reading the first one and couldn't get past the first few chapters.

Space Opera, think Firefly.

Added, thanks!

Added to list, thanks!

The avsolute best that I've read is Phantom Star by Seras on RR. Unfortunately they haven't finished the story. (there is ai, but it's a dumb ai)

2nd place is Quarter Share (Trader's Tales from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper) by Nathan Lowell.

3rd place is Bobiverse.

Honorable Mention is Rookie Privateer (Privateer Tales Book 1) by Jamie McFarlane. This one would be higher, but as the series went on they became more and more militaristic.

Absolutely adore fantasy too. Everything from classic, swords and sorcery to litrpg and cultivation. You got something space opera with fantasy? I'm excited.

Looks promising, added to list, thanks!

Oh, this looks great! Thanks!

Thanks for the warning!

 

I'm looking for some good space opera. I read a lot on royal road and KU. I love space opera, but I'm sick of military and AI tropes. Any good suggestions? The more ship to ship battles the better. I understand that may be counter-intuitive, but I've read several privateer/freighter/scrapper books that were amazing. Looking for more of the same.

Thanks!

Bonus, she'll think of you and visit you way more often than if you were shoved in a back corner of a cemetary.
