Not remotely the same genre, but my vote for perfect arcade game is Time Crisis 2.

So I’ve got a mediocre mini PC that I’m using as a NAS with a USB RAID1 enclosure after my NAS bit the dust. It’s running the following:

• Network file sharing
• Pi-hole
• Tailscale
• Navidrome
• Logitech Media Server

And then I’ve got a RPi4 also running Tailscale, a backup Pi-Hole, and something called mlbserver which lets me access mlb.tv streams (legally) as m3u8 playlists and avoid the mediocre mlb apps.

You’ll be fine. Just be patient as your muscle memory adapts.

RetroRGB I believe will post about new games for old systems sometimes.

Also Yuzo Koshiro is working on a new shmup for the Genesis that he’s posting about on his Twitter regularly.

You could try using conical rubber bumpers to create an angle, or I’ve seen adhesive laptop stands that folks have used for tenting keyboards that I wonder if they would work for wrist rests too.

The only problem I’ve had with them is that they leave a little grid mark on your hands after a while, but they’re solid for flat keyboards.
