So I don’t know what “Mario is pronouns now” means, and I don’t want to feed a Search Engine to figure it out. Sounds like I don’t need to know!

The best retro gaming console is the one you already own. Any old hand-me-down or thrift office PC can handle the majority of retro titles, as can most consoles with custom firmware.

If you already own anything from the DS-3DS-PSP-Vita lineups you should be looking into making the most of the hardware you already own.

That being said, my partner is very happy with their Deck, and I’m pretty pleased with my RG351V running ArkOS. I’ve also been very happy with running my RP3B+ with Retropie.

But to be very honest, I don’t do a damn thing that my gaming PC two builds ago, and my PSP1000 I’ve had since high school wouldn’t be able to handle with flying colors.

Haven’t seen a particularly good BF deal in quite a few years.

Still punch the clerk at KMart though, it’s tradition.

“Demons absolutely do exist” lol

Hmm. That’s not a controversial as I was hoping for.

Nintendo isn’t being bold enough.

You’re doing the Lord’s Work with auto captioning that image. My boi

So I dailied an ‘86 for a long time. It’s a money pit. A delicious delicious money pit that you’re going to remember for the rest of your life.

If you crash it you might die tho.

“eight of these occurrences”

I’ve been using various forms of adblock for many years. If a website refuses to show you the information it contains: the information it has is probably toxic garbage.

I’ve lived by “if it doesn’t load, I doesn’t need it” for over a decade and I’ve never encountered a problem I couldn’t easily solve better without the troublesome webpage.

Here’s an alternative article that won’t do that: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/10/ps5-slims-new-external-disc-drive-requires-online-pairing-before-use/

Your stripper name is City Where You We’re Born + Can You Drive Stick Shift + The Last 4 Of Your SSN.

Damn they got me again

RvW was looking like it was going down: immediately got my shit together, stopped putting it off, and finally got snipped.

I knew what was next then and I’ve been seeing a slow burn towards the obvious consequences ever since. No regretti - but it’s a serious issue for everyone. Not everybody is Never Kids like I am.

That person is suspicious that the rogue device without adblocking is going to poison the whole network.

I won’t speak to the wisdom of that, but I’m going to imagine that’s what the issue with your suggestion is.

I could never get my pihole to remain stable over long periods of time. Multiple reinstalls, two different pis, always issues with the network dropping or requiring both the pi and connected devices to be rebooted. A pain in the neck for a reason I’m not immediately able to figure out.

This is the angle that makes me reconsider folding phones. Either fold direction, and you’ve got a smaller screen that’s usable in one hand.

Storage and RAM not being user upgradable is an environmental nightmare for sustainability.

Not having internal slots for storage and relying on USB or NAS is not an appropriate alternative for professionals regardless of what their leadership says is what professionals want.

We’ll never know, but RAM being part of the SoC is probably contributing substantially to their performance capabilities compared to competition. The only real way to know that probably requires being an engineer at Apple. I’d wager $3.50 that they’d get a substantial performance deficit from switching to DIMMs, and that terrifies them since that would further push everyone to x86 workstations.

So here’s my perspective, as somebody who took many years of struggle and therapy to come to grips with the idea that I was abused and raped by a romantic partner:

For the person from the position of power, or a third party, you don’t get to decide the reality of the person experiencing the suffering. For the person it’s happening to - whatever their suffering is, it’s valid and real. That doesn’t belittle someone who has experienced worse. Everyone has their personal struggles. We’d all do better to consider other people’s experiences as valid and come at disagreements from a desire to learn and care.

Arguing for the sake of arguing is furiously jacking off your privilege boner for no real progress or useful outcome, other than feeling superior to someone lesser than you.

I have no earthly idea the context of why you’re asking though.

Haha hell yeah, hail Satan, am I right?

Who are you?

Me: “let me just go look up Mystery Men real quick… oh.”

Who wants to take bets on how long it will be until F099 is taken down?

I’ve got a tenner on 01/01/24.

I spent about a year arguing with C-levels that our fleet running 8GB was slowing down productivity, with evidence to prove it. It was like pulling teeth to procure some SODIMMs.

I’d still say this article is coming at things from the wrong perspective. That $700 Walmart M1 MBA is more than adequate for most kids doing school work, and/or grandparents farting around on FB. If you have a family and had to grab a few identical laptops, and you aren’t able/willing to be tech support, it really makes a lot of sense financially.

Why would fingerprint reading get worse if the ambient light is low?

Skimmed the US site. Unless I’m dumb, there’s no Non-Windows Key options on any products other than a Linux-variant that they currently up charge for.

What a shithole company.

What do you think is the average rage-baiter take of Birdo? What’s worse for the anthropomorphic glory-hole in our children’s Nintendo games: that Birdo is an effeminate man, or t r a n s?

I am a big fan of the idea that by doing this the OC is effectively the ad-distributor in this scenario…

This person is evoking the idea of a game like BattleBit Remastered, by the way, if anyone reading this is living under a rock.

I was more making a point about people already owning capable machines in regards to the consoles, PCs, old smartphones etc they already own being capable emulation machines.

Someone should try and rule out what they already have before buying one of the SBC-style handhelds. It’s more economical, prevents more e-waste, reparability is way more accessible on other hardware than SBCs, etc.

PS2, GC, Wii compatibility is a good point. The only argument I have against that is just going to devolve into Old Man Yells At Clouds so I’ll let you win on that.

Hey at least Xbox can play CDs.

PS5 is incompatible. [insert Techmoan video here]

Hey, are you doing okay?

I bet that guy is still mad that they broadcast a white guy kissing a black woman on television.

Fairphone being locked to /e/ to keep warranty in the US is a big detractor for a lot of the types of people that would want one.

Huel does have a weird, thick texture that’s difficult to get past. Soylent is a lot smoother.

I settled on liking a half-half combination of Huel Black and Soylent about once a day. I kind of fell out of it because of the cleaning requirements.

I’ve seen the innards of a KG.

You’ll get like 20 miles of range with the battery packs you might be able to squeeze into some hidey holes.

I have no idea why this isn’t more widely known.

I’d probably love the tedium of being a QA tester. I’d be happy to switch careers and take your job if it probably didn’t imply a pretty hefty pay cut.

I haven’t watched the second video, but I will say the game is solid and fun with friends. And it seems like community criticism is affecting a lot of the balancing and updates they do.

I think whatever concerns people had during EA the devs are attempting to address.

Got a buddy who just picked up an A770 16gb. Seems pretty pleased with it.

If you want something more Android-y the Sony NW-A306 exists.

Both, but much more of my days are an Apple Watch SE2 than my DW5600.

I use it as a HUD - I want to know the exact time for work, current temps high/low, sunrise / sundown times, and a pop up for screening phone notifications helps me quite a bit with not checking my phone as much. I also appreciate wrist heart rate (for keeping anxiety in check,) compass is neat, and knowing the local dB is helpful for keeping my tinnitus from getting worse.

I never thought I’d like a smartwatch until I tried one.
