How dare you.

My three pairs of ten year old Rainbows are lovingly worn-in

Yeah, about the only place I trust for electronics reviews is rtings, and usually consumer reports for household appliances. Everywhere else seems infected by the affiliate bug

I’ve had good experiences emulating PS2 on my Steam Deck. PS3 I haven’t gotten anything to run well enough that I’d call it enjoyable. Some don’t run at all

Check out Endless Sky if you haven’t heard of it

And SuperfastMatt! He shows the messy process of backyard engineering, doesn’t waste your time or yell at you, and there’s a little dry humor in there

I was playing on Steam maybe 2 months ago and I saw two people in my 4ish hours of playing. They both kinda danced around me for a bit then ran off :(

Still playing through Thirsty Suitors on my deck on the TV. About 4 hrs in. It’s got an interesting story in there, but the fighting gets tedious sometimes and honestly, I wish I were encountering more of my exes. 7/10 so far

Also playing my second run through of BG3 with my buddy whenever we both have time. 10/10

And unrelated to gaming, I’ll have the 24 Hours of Le Mans on in the background

I thought I remember Xbox doing the the same thing for free to play Xbox games a couple years ago

Yeah there’s a first person NFL VR game, but last I heard, it was still oculus exclusive

Lots of us do lol

Housing was too expensive and we wanted to move back east closer to family. Most of our Oakland friends took a similar path between ‘18 and ‘22

Yeah if I see a “used once” tool on Craigslist, I’m not paying 95% of retail for it

Yeah I borrowed a bunch of hand and power tools from the Oakland public library when I lived there in the 2010s. They also had a shit ton of video games

Yeah most standard American chocolate is waxy and tasteless

The Niagra brand peanut butter cups are my crack. Probably the most expensive ones in the supermarket, but I shouldn’t be eating too many anyway

Nah you just call your accountant and have them do it. You got jet skis to ride.

lol yeah, in the 90s you could go in there and buy a couple resistors, a couple capacitors, and a couple (expensive, crappy) LEDs

I can see how that didn’t work out for them though

There could be some purple states where the stars align and this passes, but yeah, at least a generation, probably more

It’s just a reminder that we’re not so far away from the people we care about

What’s a little thing you find romantic?

You can use “extensions” for Safari, and there are at least a couple ad blocking extensions. I use Purify, and it works pretty well at blocking ads
