  I believe the inky impression might have tutorials available, but heres their sample code
  https://github.com/pimoroni/inky/blob/main/examples/spectra6/image.py

  …i now realize I don’t have my code up anywhere though, but its basically that on a cron job to cycle through a directory of images.

  You grab a pi zero 2w, or maybe anything with the standard pi gpio connectors slap that on the back of the display and you should be good to go.

  It’s incredibly awkward to mount on a picture frame, and the weight of the pi does cause it to sag to one side, so might be better as a table frame than a wall mount.

  These are pretty easy to DIY with something like the inky impression 13 (a spectra 6 display), a pi zero 2w and a tiny bit of python.

  Haven't figured out a good coorless option but its a fun weekend project.

  Bought myself a little digital audio player (basically the new name for mp3 players) and have been enjoying porting rockbox to it / listening to my local library.

  There's a still a few cd/record stores in town which is pretty awesome for second hand stuff.

  I'm surprised there's no source code available. You think that would be a no brainer move after the original servers shut down. 😅

  I am ready to slurp up all of these heirs. Keep em coming!

  I'm not sure if I would consider today's Unity being an upgrade from UE2. 🤔

  But considering how 90% of the game is in UnrealScript, they should probably just write an interpreter in Unity so that existing mods have a better chance at working.

  Ah I remember trying to play this on a below min requirements gpu when it came out. Besides low performance, the sky was super messed up.

  Can't wait to dive in with an utterly overpowered pc in July.
