OK I'm actually going to make Pi Zero 2 W a legit target for my stuff, actually seems like it should be readily achievable and a fun goal. I developed Saucelifter and Fargoal on a Pentium II, after all. I'm counting on you to do the heavy lifting though, SDL3 🙏

if you're looking to learn martial arts for self defense in a protest scenario, judo is a really good idea. it's MUCH easier to learn trips, throws, how to use your weight, breakfalls, scrambles, etc than to learn striking. striking is great but it takes a lot longer to achieve proficiency
