I’m definitely curious. Browser-switching is annoyingly mentally difficult, though. I keep bouncing between Arc and Firefox, so maybe this is the perfect marriage.

Crosscode was such a delight. I found the story surprisingly compelling.

I teach high school, and it’s so hard to get students to pay attention, even with fun engaging projects. The reality is that these social apps are designed to be addictive, and it’s not a fair contest.

RetroDECK aims to be an all-in-one solution. No need to mess with the terminal or anything.

It automatically configures the emulators, has a fantastic custom controller configuration, and is very easy to update through flathub/Discover.

No but when I tried to change Mastodon servers, I was frustrated to learn that I could carry over my followers but nothing else. The platform highlighted “easy mobility,” but I found that to be misleading.

I think the biggest problem that Mastodon et. al need to solve is changing servers/accounts. There needs to be an easy way to move servers while retaining past posts, etc.

Yeah, I turn them off in a lot of games. Otherwise I accidentally hit them and trigger some weird effect.

I think that it’s actually a good thing. If a criminal record disqualified you, it could be easy to cook up bogus charges against a political opponent just to kick them off the ballot. We also have along history in the USA of black folks getting charged with crimes at a disproportionately high rate.

One of my students has been begging me to buy Ultrakill since last year, and I keep saying no just to spite him. Maybe I’ll finally give it a try!

I’ve been excited for this game since the original trailer (I think it was a Nintendo direct). I have a few games to finish first, then I’ll get this.

I definitely put up with shit graphics and potato framerate for Baldur’s Gate 3

I’m surprised by Helldivers. I can’t imagine that it runs very well.

OK - I thought this was the case, but wasn’t sure. At any rate, a microSD card is a good purchase (but that’s true for all of these handhelds).

Should’ve named it The Holodeck!

It’s definitely not as comfortable as something like the Steam Deck, but I played so much Switch while commuting on the train since it came out. It’s been a real joy to have. It’s also WAY smaller than any of the current-gen handhelds.

What do you mean by “cart games being downloaded in full to the system?”

I might be in the minority, but I generally prefer to wait and avoid early access, beta, etc. Whenever I participate, I get burned out before the final game releases, so I don’t get to enjoy the complete artistic vision.

People don’t want to admit it, but going vegan/vegetarian is a HUGE way to avoid zoonotic diseases in the future. Anywhere that groups of humans and groups of animals closely co-mingle is a risk factor.

It makes sense — we just don’t understand it yet 😀

I played all of Horizon Zero Dawn on a Steam Deck, so it might work for you. You can get it for like $10 on key resell websites

That only works if you’re using something Linux + Jellyfin, though. Any set top box like a Fire Stick or Chromecast will sell your data too.
