[Request] Retro Recommendations

I'm trying my best to dive back into the past and play all the gems that I missed as a kid because I was either born too late or too much of a kid to consider playing them. I found myself really disappointed going back to the old mario nes/snes titles because they felt really bad to play as I've become accustomed to modern platformer design sensibilities (like coyote time and responsive movement). Are there any oldies+goldies that have stood up to the test of time and not shown their age in the same way? Or are so good that they're worth playing despite showing their age? Preferably avoiding racing, sports, and final fantasy-esque titles. Not really interested in anything more recent than PS2 era either. I already have Earthbound in my sights as it isn't one I've played before but it comes highly recommended.

Installing git repos with makefiles in NixOS - How?

I'm very, very new to nix and nixOS both - I come from imperative workflows and very very rarely anything determinative, so this is all brand new to me. As an example of the kind of thing I don't understand how to do, let's take an example repo I've been bouncing off: https://github.com/GideonWolfe/Chameleon On a "normal" system, I can get pip and python ready, and then `make install` and I'm off to the races. With NixOS, I've got as far as adding python3 and gnumake to my configuration.nix packages. (I have also discovered that putting python in my system packages was the wrong move, so some advice on how better to go about this would be cool too.) I can't for the life of me wrap my head around what I'm supposed to do, and so many people online are using flakes but I'm on stable 23.11 (and quite daunted by flakes) so I'd prefer if this was from that POV. Can anyone speak to any of these points? I've tried reading the docs but it's very confusing for some reason.

UK Transfem Advice

So, I live in the UK and I'm on some probably endless waiting list to start talking to people about things, but I am also financially privileged and if I can use that to expedite my process in some way, that would improve my quality of life tenfold. My cry for help, is, what can I do privately? How do I do it safely? Are there any "official" private sources for anything? I am interested in UK centric advice for (but not limited to): - voice feminisation - HRT in an environment where I can regularly have someone with degrees in this shit tell me that my body is doing the right things - related to the above, fertility support (in the scenario I want to have kids biologically) - diagnosis of gender dysphoria - any other "superficial" feminzation - I don't want to sexually transition, I'm keeping the tool Thanks in advance, blahaj lemmy
