I’ll never understand Spotify. If it’s such a pain in the ass why do people use it? Napster was big when I was in high school so if I find a song I like, I go download it. Sometimes it’s piracy. Sometimes it’s a legitimate purchase. Whichever is easiest.

Done. The end. It’s mine forever.

As far as discoverability goes it helps that there have been no new music releases in the past couple of decades that I care about.

Yeah it’s a typo. I posted this late.

I stuck a 2TB SanDisk Extreme microSD card in my 512GB launch day Deck and haven’t noticed much in the way of performance, but I’m not playing Crimson Desert on the thing.

Anything remotely modern lives on the SSD. The rest, along with roughly 4000 ROMS, is sitting comfortably on the microSD card. Works for me!

RCT made my night classes in 2003 tolerable.

I just got one of the 8BitDo 40th Anniversary NES controllers so I’m good for a while.

I don’t use the touchpads on my Steam Deck in games so there’s not much for me here.

Yep. And the filter is as clean as the day it was installed.

Who wants food chunks flying around the dishwasher?

The land of the CCP is the last place I’d expect to see FOSS AI agents. Good for them! Beats the hell out of our greedy bastards in the United States.

Bronson Brosnan, Moore and Connery are my Bond trifecta.

I lost interest after Brosnan Brosnan and haven’t seen another Bond film since Die Another Day in 2002. I’m cool with it.

I can agree that part 3 might be the best one as an adult, but as a child that flying DeLorean and hoverboard was the shit in part 2 even though it did have a darker tone.

Dang. Back in high school my best friend and I wore out the MAME emulator playing sunset riders and countless other classics. Fuck, I’m old.

Believe it or not there was a time when all games on all consoles shipped 100% complete. No patches necessary.

Now it’s about maximizing quarterly earnings and seeing how far you can screw the customer before they leave your product and ecosystem altogether.

Greed-fueled enshitification.

I’m sick of it.

Honestly, Super Mario Wonder is a hell of a ride when you’re stoned.

I’m no economist but the academic model of capitalism works just fine. The problem is when you have moral and ethical failings while legislating off the guardrails that keep things fair and people honest.

There’s nothing wrong with capitalism. It’s us.

We’re the problem.

Oh privacy died in the United States decades ago.

Nobody cares because we’re all fat, happy and comfortable.

Once rights are taken, violence is the only way to get them back. History is a wonderful teacher.

The day the vehicle I paid for doesn’t work because a goddamn sensor thinks I’m not fit to drive is the day I break my foot off in someone’s ass.

Fuck this dystopian shit show we’re creating for ourselves.

Vote better.

Fuck 'em.

If I can touch it, I can own it.

Sounds like a thirty year old Final Fantasy spell.

My anxiety and avoidant personality disorder keep me from having to urge to volunteer.

People make me tired.
