Programming Throwdown Episode 132, funding open source projects.

Take it away, Jason.

Hey, everybody. So if that voice sounded different to you, that's because we have Adam from

co-recursive on the show. So thanks so much, Adam, for coming on. Thanks for having me. I'm super

excited. Cool. Yeah, Patrick is getting a tan. He is on vacation. And part of us wanting to do two shows a month and trying to make the show more oriented or focused is trying to make sure we actually put out that show and that content. We have a ton of stuff we want to talk about. And so I think it's great that when one of us is out, instead of us just not, you know, making that

content and pushing everything back, that we find folks who, you know, are friends of ours,

who love podcasting and love tech to jump in. And so Adam's doing that for Patrick. So thank you

again, Adam, for coming on. Yeah, no problem. I'm excited. Anytime, by the way. Yeah. Cool. We'll take you up on that.

Yeah, I think I'm planning on being out in July. So we'll see how that all goes. But cool. So yeah,

I wanted to start by just jumping into gaming setups. I recently redid the gaming setup I had in my living room and I was

pretty stoked about it. You know, I have, I'm really big into the whole emulator scene. You know,

I worked on maim for a long time and all of that. And so I've always had a kind of special place

of my heart for those like retro games like SNES and n64 and all

of these things and so I have accumulated over the years like USB versions of all of these controllers.

I don't know if they even had wireless when I started this collection, but I just kind of stuck

with the whole wire thing. And so I have, you know, those like big, they call them fight sticks, but they're big, it looks kind of like you took the controller part of an arcade cabinet and just ripped it out and just, it's this big thing. It's like, it weighs, it has a weight in it, so it's heavy. It's got the big buttons and it's got the octagonal joystick and everything. And so it's

kind of, it's like putting an arcade controller in your lap. That's awesome. So you rested on your

lap and then does it give you the feel? Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, it gives you a feel. It's got the

yeah, the big buttons, everything. So I've got those. I have two of those, I have two of the S&ES controllers.

The ones I got are the like Buffalo brand or I Buffalo brand. They're solid. I mean,

they've lasted forever. And so similar, I have all sorts of different ones. And so here I am with

all these controllers or all USB. And you know, and I'd play on my computer. That'd be fine,
