I'll always vouch for Kitch-Bent. I've had nothing but a great experience with them. Sticks are a solid 9/10.

Have fun at the expo! Clint from LGR does really good "expo walk through" videos if you want a style to "borrow" lol.

For the algorithm! Also, can’t wait to get some rgb stuff one day so I can get confused and send questions

[cruzlink]

the neo geo stuff is digital to digital not all arcade boards have a dac to convert the analog rgb output some use resistor ladders to do it, so if marks is tapping at the beginning of said ladder he's grabbing the digital data before the ladder converts it. I could be wrong but this is what my understanding is.

Re: Patreon, the app is necessary for me for at least one creator I support, because I listen to them to get to sleep, although generally for most people's subscriptions, it adds nothing.

Don't misunderstand me, Patreon has it's issues, however, this is NOT Patreon's fault. THIS IS 100% ON APPLE. It literally only happens in their ecosystem, not in a browser, not in Android, not in GrapheneOS (the only secure smartphone OS IMO, but only actual nerds need apply).

The fact that your "clarification" is completely wrong is very disappointing, especially because you're a creator directly affected by this, and you constantly nerd out and go deeper on so many things.

You made it sound like this was a Patreon policy. This is entirely due to Apple's ridiculously greedy policy, which steals from creators. Patreon had no choice.
