  • Have you ever considered public speaking?

    If you have, don't.

    • ARMS
    • Big Brain Academy: Brains Vs. Brain
    • Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
    • Game Builder Garage
    • New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
    • Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet
    • Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
    • Super Mario Odyssey
    • The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
    • The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

    So Pokemon is finally getting the patch it needs just to function properly. It's just tied to a $400 console.

    The majority of the Switch 2's marketing has focused on ports and upgrades for old games. Which a Steam Deck still does better. And at least Valve won't brick my system when their profit margin is threatened.

  • It's finally gotten way out-of-hand, even for me. Gen XI will be the first main series Pokémon games in 30 years I won't be pre-ordering, let alone even buying. First-party Switch games were already way too expensive, rarely ever going on sale, and now we may be moving to an $80 standard. And it seems the main selling point of the Switch 2 in the latest Direct was a bunch of ports. At that price point, there's no reason not to just get a Steam Deck and sail the high seas for first-party titles. At least Valve won't brick my device if I hurt their feelings.

  • It's not a tax break. Emissions standards for vehicles were established a couple decades ago. Some lobbying happened, as it does, and an exception was given to pickup trucks. Not an exception carving out work trucks in particular, just all pickups. Then someone had the idea to build a minivan around a pickup truck chassis and now we have SUVs everywhere.

  • Same way that kid with the hot mom felt?

  • I can say, at least in government, that open source is almost entirely used as a cost-saving measure, but it's implemented so poorly (by the time a piece of software makes it through the proper channels for verification, it's already several major releases behind. Which explains why CentOS is still so prevalent) that the general opinion becomes "open-source is just a cheap substitute for a superior commercial product."

  • But they're ✨ sophisticated ✨

  • Oh, it still is.

  • But sometimes I have mildly inconveniencing experiences with the postal service in my extremely rural town that require me to navigate my extremely rural town's nearly non-existent public services so we should absolutely surrender complete control to Amazon

  • My wife loves the shopping ads and always complains when the Pi-Hole blocks them.

    Thankfully (weird to say), the current political climate has her worried about being tracked online and she's finally opening up to the idea of proper privacy.

  • More like 1M an inch

  • StarFox, but it's a couple of rogue F-22 pilots. Or fuck it, Star Wolf.

  • Computer infrastructure is the front lines now

  • You can even bypass all that and just mount it in the Explorer GUI.

  • You're not running an entire Active Directory domain in your home?

  • A couple years ago my in-laws were downsizing after retiring and they asked if I would possibly have any use for their ancient desktop PC (at least old enough to have shipped with Windows 7).

    I installed Debian on it and it's running Jellyfin, qBittorrent through Gluetun, Calibre-web, NextCloud, and Pi-Hole containers, with plenty of room to spare. I've also got some services running on Raspberry pis (back when they were cheap). And an external 4TB hard drive connected to it acting as a NAS. No hardware transcoding or 4K video on Jellyfin but that's no big deal for me.

    All that to say yes, you can absolutely self-host on repurposed hardware. Any old PC you're looking at is no doubt newer than mine.

  • They just spend billions of dollars making sure Joe Rogan is on every from page and in a favorable spot in the algorithm.
