Blockchain, crypto and web3 are all the same thing. You’re right tho, tech bros hype any new tech they think they can sell for more than it’s worth

just did the math, I’ve averaged about $165/yr on steam, with very little (though not none) microtransactions. like maybe less than $50 total in 15 years.

Yes, this is true. And I think the industry managed to pull together a pretty decent one.

The ESRB isn’t awful, it’s not perfect of course, but I think it’s pretty dang good for what it is.

Yeah what’re they gunna do to me, double Dutch my ass in another country for posting a meme?

I’m watching them now! Get off my back about it!

Big aeropress fan. Where’s the Linux equivalent of that?

All I’m getting from this is that arch is easier than I expected and will give me a much better end result than the distros I’m used to.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

I’m not sure how this is in any way different from android? Android is free software they use to restrict the computing they devices they sell to push more ads and junkware. This is just a different one. Amazon sucks, so I don’t see what move they could make that could be seen as positive. Just don’t buy their garbage devices.

Couple folks saying they don’t get it or it’s not funny, and that’s fine!

What I enjoyed about it is that it’s not the sorta funny that we often see in these comics, where they say something relatable but in an unexpected way. This is more the kind of funny where it’s just kinda silly for the sake of it.

I certainly think that’s true! But things can also be complex and be both as well as other factors.

This is a good point! And in fairness, I didn’t actually read the article so I don’t know for sure it’s talking about the whole of western societies. It is the la times though, so that would lead me to believe it’s US-centric.

Regardless, I think you’re totally right. In America we’re continually getting hammered with the idea that having sex before marriage is abhorrent and anyone who does it should be punished for it with STDs or babies.

Lots of people in here talking about how sex scenes suck, and they’re right. But I think we should also consider this: decades of focus on abstinence education and evolving parental and institutional surveillance has been successful at making young people have less sex. And now the olds, having achieved their mission, are confused about why the kids are having less sex and making less babies and the media they are creating and consuming is reflecting that.

Hyperkin’s products, especially the retron line, are generally considered sub-par for this reason. They’re usually just android-based systems that run emulation from a rom they dump from the cart at runtime. Since they’re low-spec and emulation focused without some of the refinements that come to those emulators over time, they have glitches on some games.

Nice dude, I’ve got the first gen DCDigital and don’t think I’ll be upgrading because it’s good enough for me and I think I’ll use an external scaler instead with it and other devices.

I’ve spent way too much on my Dreamcast. It’s got a MODE, DCdigital, and now this VM2. It’s an awesome system, I love it! I only wish there were more minigames for the VMU that had more features. I’m sure it’s hard to do with only 128kb though so I get it.

That’s actually how the pocket works. It uses separate fpga’s for the cores and display modes.

I’m definitely interested in hearing more about it. No openFPGA is a shame. Since it’ll have a bigger fpga than they’d been using, it’d be nice to see what else you could do with it as a platform like the pocket.

This is not at all true.

Fuck any game that does
