Well, from a technical standpoint I am more prepared as an instance admin compared to Summer 2023. We’re running on powerful dedicated hardware after all.

There aren’t enough appealing Switch 2 games at least for me, the price should go down and I rather wait for that EU model with easier battery-swapping.

There are so many, but the first song that came to my mind is “Dogman” by King’s X. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYx50Y5hkKA

So heavy and massive sound, the vocal harmonies are a cherry on top. King’s X is among the world’s most underrated bands, even though many thought it invented grunge.

Brighter than ever, thanks to Steam Deck and Microsoft’s general idiocy.

Just read that he was a Trump-supporting Republican, I understand why you called him an asshole.

“EA is EA, even if you fried it with butter.”

If parents have pedagogic experience in teaching, understand the possible downsides and how to mitigate them, then I can understand homeschooling. Otherwise I’d recommend normal schooling.

They are exclusively for Nintendo’s consoles, and it owns a third of the Pokemon company. Simple.

Considering how the person replacing Spencer has been known from leading Microsoft’s AI division and isn’t much of a gamer, this doesn’t make Xbox’s future rosy. Dwindling sales, large layoffs and RAM prices skyrocketing… I highly doubt they can build a competitive console.

Germany’s user count is nice.

Newer software aimed at newer Windows versions usually had a code that checked the user’s Windows version. If the version began with a 9, it was interpreted as one of the Windows 9x operating systems, for which the software was unsupported. If that was the case, the user couldn’t run the software at all. Microsoft wanted to prevent such situation from happening with a new Windows release, so they skipped straight to 10.

Who would have anything against British cuisine? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVHbWHGVYaU

That’s true, there’s enough porn and shock content found elsewhere.

Exactly!

There is some innocence and optimism regarding the Internet.

EDIT: And the most important of them all: sincerity. Not everything was wrapped in over 9000 layers of irony.

From a Finnish perspective, the 2010s were a rather peaceful time, world events didn’t really affect my day-to-day life. But from 2020 onward every year has felt like survival.

And the modern game has no yellow paint, unlike the old one. How can you know where to go???

For those interested, this is a still from Ryan the Leader’s video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxnJcZvuRK8

• Yet another racism scandal in the Finnish parliament, PM Petteri Orpo gets to clean the mess again
• Still no peace deal in Ukraine
• Yet another impeachment attempt on Trump that goes as well as the previous ones
• Some AAA game company releases a big-budget title that turns out to be a complete buggy mess (like MindsEye)
• Some Big Tech social media platform falls victim to enshittification, leading to a refugee wave to the Fediverse
• The civil war among Republicans continues, maybe leads into abandoning Trump?
